THE CHILD'S BEST GIFT,

THE TOY ALPHABET, beautifully printed on
tinted Cards in Case, complete; forming a most amusing
and in btructive present for Children. The elegant style in which
the illustrations to each letter are got up—each with a pleasing
and simple rhyme—and the strikingly apparent usefulness and
novelty of the plan, which is so elegantly carried out, have pro
duced the most unqualified encomiums from some of the most
influential organs of public opinion, a few of which are appended.
Parents and others desirous of pleasing their children, and
at the same time helping them to take the first step to
learning, cannot do better than purchase a Set of these Alpha-
bets, which are produced in Six varieties, at One Shilling
per Set.
THE ToY ALPHABET' supplies an easy and entertaining mode
of teaching little ones their letters, and serves as a plaything at
the same time hat it takes the place of a lesson book. All aunts
and uncles, as well ss parents, should not fail to get a sight of the
Toy Alphabet, for it is sure to he the delight of every nursery into
which it may find its way."—The Christian World.
"The eye is riveted and the memory irresistibly impressed. The
scheme bas met with great success, and any loving parent, having
a use for such a welcome teacher in the family, cannot complain
when the entire cost of the packet is only One Shilling."—The
Primitive Methodist Advocate.

"The colour-printing is admirable, and the variety and origi-
nality of the cards, which are produced in several distinct sets,
cannot fail to make them popular."—The Methodist Recorder.

MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS.

Eleciions.

With only two or three hundred advantage on a
register of between two and three thousand, a split
would have been very dangerous in the Liberal camp
at the Isle of Wight. Such a contretemps has
been narrowly escaped. Both Mr. Cavendish
Chard, son of Sir Augustus Clifford, and
Mr. Moffat have expressed a wish to represent the
Liberal 'party at the coming contest. If both went
to the poll, Mr. Baillie Cochrane, who fears the ex-
pense of a fruitless struggle, might try his shanee hope-
fully. But a test ballot has been arranged to decide
the question—Clifford or Moffat? A.; Norwich the
Liberals are still hunting for a candidate, in the hope
that their vacant seat will shortly be filled up. The
latest report seems to indicate a decision in favour of
Mr. Tillett.
