twinkles in either of the verses!
Mrs. Stowe has two more chapters of
her admirable story-"Agnes of Sor.
rento.' 'Sun Painting and Sculpture
is an odd chapter, but we like it. The
"London Working mems College," and
'Emancipation in Russia" contain
many interesting facts. We hope some
day, that chapter on Emancipation in
the United States, may appear in the
Atlantic! The Haunted Shanty" is a
little too much! We are glad, however,
that it is as far away as Illinois The
legend of 'Rhotunda" will please the
young readers, no doubt. ''She was a
lady fair, and daughter ola king-and
when the coast was white with snow
her lover home did bring" "Gleck
Lines" is concluded. The 'fOrdeal of
Battle is fine chapter for the times
also, "The United States and Europe"
Major Winthrop's last, Washington as q
Camp, with its closing, prophetic "good-
bye everybody is good as humorous.
The gallant Major now rests, where the
call ''to arms cannot awake him. His

All readers are well acquainted with
her writings, and labors of love among
the poor, and, consequently, ignorant
people, in those days, in England. The
'sballad' is a dialogue between two
weavers, and has so much truth in it,
we intend to publish it. We also find

When midnight shades are spread;
Yet angels pitch their tents around,
And guard my quiet bed.
In both numbers we find several very
interesting translations from the Ger
man. The poetry is always good
whether original or selected. There is
one chapter in the July number-'Wo-
men who remain unmarried which

life Of those who venture to live So
