NEW ATLAS BY A. KEITH JoIINSTO.T.
This day is published, the
HANDY ROYAL ATLAS,
By ALEX. KEITH JOHNSTON,
LL.D., F.R.S.E., F.R.G.S., c.,
Author of the "Royal Atlas," the "Physical Atlas," &c.
This work has been constructed for the purpose of placing in
the hands of the public a useful and thoroughly accurate ATLAS
of Maps of Modern Geography, in a convenient form, and at a
moderate price. It is based on the "Royal Atlas," by the same
Author; and, in so far as the scale permits, it comprises many
of the excellencies which its prototype is acknowledged to pos-
sess. The aim has been to make the book strictly what its name
implies, a HANDY ATLAS—a valuable substitute for the " Royal,"
where that is too bulky or too expensive to find a place, a need-
ful auxiliary to the junior branches of families, and a vade mecum
to the tutor and the pupil-teacher.

tinn of AnnricrAL T Err'', fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly re,embte the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay. and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require tne extraction of roots, or ar.y pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFE(TUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowelis
or affecting the head. truly efficacious and pleasant, is ad-
mitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving
coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient con-
sumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty
pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling s filch
provokes frequent coughing. In approaching oonsumption
its effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or
even lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief
in a few minutes after taking it. Prepares oniy and sold by

THE PROPOSED SUNDAY CLOSING BILL.

The following is a copy of the bill for further
regulating the sale of fermented and distilled liquors
on Sund ty, in England and Wales, brought in the
House of Commons by Mr. J. Abel Smith, Mr.
Bazley, and Mr. Baines :—" Whereas the restric-
tions on the sale in England and Wales oe fermented
and distilled liquors during certain hours on the
Lord's Day and certain other days imposed by the
Act of Session of the 18th and 19th years of the
reign of her present Majesty, chap. 118, entituled
An act to repeal the act of 17th and 18th years of
the reign of her present Majesty for the further
regulating the sale of beer and other liquors on the
Lord's Day, and to substitute other provisions in
lieu thereof,' have been attended with great bene-
fits, and these benefits would be increased by
an extension of the said act : Be it enacted by the
Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the
advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Tem-
poral, and Commons, in this present Parliament
assembled, and by the authority of the same, as
follows :-1. The provisions of the recited act im-
posing in England anl Wales restrictions on the
opening of houses and other places for the sale and
on the sale of fermented and distilled liquors at
certain hours on Sunday, Christmas Day, Good
Friday, and any day appointed for a public fast
or thanksgiving, shall, as respects the sale of the
liquors aforesaid when sold for consumption off
the premises, be extended to the following hours :
that is to say, from half-past two till eight in
the afternoon, and from ten till eleven in the
afternoon ; and as respects the sale of the liquors
aforesaid when sold for consumption on the pre-
mises, to the whole of the said days, subject to the
following proviso—that is to say, provided always,
that this act shall not preclude a person licensed to
sell any fermented or distilled liquor to be consumed
on the premises within the metropolitan police dis-
trict from selling the same to a person lodging in
his house, or to travellers, or to persons bona fide
taking a meal at his house during the time of such
meal. 2. This act shall not exempt any person from
any penalty to which he would otherwise be subject
for the contravention of any Act of Parliament
relating to the sale of exciseable liquors. 3. This
act may be cited for all purposes as The Public-
house Closing Extension Act, 1868.'"

A ROWING MAN.—When lie is not actually row-
ing, or running, or conscientiously devouring his
allotted modicum of victuals, be may be picking up gossip,
proving to the satisfaction of his own crew that they did
the course the: day before in 8 min. 19 sec. instead of 8
min. 21 sec., and that their rivals were at most 2 min. less,
which is not enough to secure a success. Or he may be
going through some subtle piece of diplomacy, persuading
some man to row whose friends, or studies, or health for-
bid it, or simply lounging about in a dignified manner at
some other resort, with the pleasant unconsciousness that
men are whispering behind his back, "There is the stroke
of the Boniface boat,"— as perhaps in the larger world,
though vanity is no longer so simple or so easily satisfied,
a man may like to be pointed out at a club as the future
solicitor-general, or the best candidate for the vacant
bishopric. Little knots of such enthusiasts gather together
in each other's rooms, when they might be better employed
and discuss the prospects of the nest race as eagerly as
their elders canvass the state of the Funds. .A nd the day
ends perhaps with dinner and a prolonged chat with some
celebrity of former times, who discourses of races won by
18 inches, of the great struggle when the losing crew
imitated the fabulous feat of the Vougeur, and rowed till
the water reached their waists, of the more ancient race
when the immortal seven-oared crew defeated their anta-
gonists with eight, and of contests in still remoter ages,
some of the actors in which hwe long since attained to
bishoprics or high state offices. St. foul's Illayazine for
December.
