6s Pupils" by a Fellow of Kings Col
lege, Cambridge, England, dedicated to
the Duke of Richmond, republished by
LIPPINoOTT & Co. 1t is composed, the
author says, sol scattered hints on Eng
fish composition, subjects for English
essays, and notes on conversations about
soma of the many points on which the
intelligent observations of those who
have been lately public school boys, will
often ask for Information Asan Elton
boy, about To travel with a tutor, is better
informed than half our members of Con-
gress, this " school-boy's book u discusses
matters that school-boys in this country
know nothing about. There are essays
on the study Of language, on entering
the army, on English composition, how
to make history interesting, on novels
with criticisms appreciative and just, OF
SHAKESPEARE and TENNYsON. The book
is a wise and true one, and every young
man vino cares to be anything, and klow
anything, will profit by studying it. The
essay entitled How TO give money
away" is particularly interesting, re-
cordipg the saying Of Archbishop
WHATELEY on his death-bed: 81 have
mahy faults and shortcomings to blame
myself with, but | thank God I cannot
accuse myself Of having given away a
on the streets" The man who
uttered these quaint and yet solemn
words, gave to cases of real distress
sums that amounted to thousands Of
pounds annually.
The author well says that none
given away in the streets, east away to
rid ones self of importantly, rather than
to aid penury, the gift OF Incidence,
rather than of liberality,' for the most
part "pampers ~proiigaey, supports
drunkenness ard gluttOny, fosters lazi-
ness, deceit and imposture, the cankers
Of our civilization for in proportion as
you maintain these, you discourage in
dustry and honorable toll, you show the
industrious poor how well it answers to
be a liar" We should like to hear the
authors opinion Of that gigantic blunder
and Unreasonable nuisance and swindle,
that costs the nation four millions annu-
ally, to make the negro q worthless,
hnlking, lying vagabond and pauper, the
FrsedmEn's Bureau.
THE FREEMAN's JOURNAL. New
York. This sterling newspaper, devoted
to the interests OF the Catholic Church,
and intended especially for members of
that Church, is a bold and manly advO-
cate Of sound Constitutional doctrines
and of the rights of the South. We
shall be often indebted to its columns
hereafter !; and we wonder that 1t has
not a host of subscribers in the States
whose honour il eloquently and ably
defends.
THE CATHOLIC WORLD monthly
magazine, published by Lawrence
AS Nassau street, New Yg5rk
city. We are in receipt of No. "a, Tol.
", for March, 1857, and, having glanced
over it, have laid it by for future read
ing or study. 1t is published at S. per
annum, making two volumes, OF S64
pages each. In poiEt Of paper and type
it equals the best English Reviews; and
its list of contents is large and varied.
Among the articles of the present num-
Der, "Origen at Csssarea +" and "Medise-
val Books and Hyrlns" are especially in
5eresting and instructive. There is a sharp
criticism of CHRISTINA G. RosETTI's
Poems of "Versified Plaintiveness u and
FOrty-nine Sadnesses." The work is
sustained by contributors Of intellect and
earning, and must, we should think, be
exceedingly acceptable to those Of the
Catholic Church who desire that kind of
which induces reflection and
Profits him or her who reads.
