PARIS, Oct. 28.

The Constitutionnel of this morning publishes an
article pointing out with what enthusiasm the in-
stitution of the Guarde National Mobile has been
received in the provinces, and says :—" This insti-
tution will respond to the wants and feedings of
France. One cannot but be filled by a ligitimate
pride when one sees how many good citizens sacri-
fice a portion of their independence for the honour
of training the young battalion of the Guarde, and
for the still greater honour of being ready to lead
them to the frontier should war break out. The
noble sentiments of duty and devotion to the
interests of the country have not degenerated in
France, they exist strongly and energetically
throughout all classes of society."
The Moniteur of to-day, in its bulletin, says :
" The Ministry of Prussia and Italy have resumed

THE WOMAN'S KINGDOM.

By the author of

" John Halifax, Gentleman." 3 vols.—"' The Woman's
Kingdom' is a delicious love story. We aro accustomed
to expect from the author of 'John Halifax' tenderness,
pathos, and much grace of style. All these qualities, to-
gether with clever characterisation, are found in het latest
work. The Woman's Kingdom' is written with delight-
ful freshness, simplicity, and earnestness. It is worthy to
be read if only for the sake of the delightful domestic pic-
tures it presents, and from the manner in which it presses
upon us the humanizing and sanctifying influences of
home.—Sunday Times.
