This little volume of one hundred and twenty
pages is replete with matter every way calcu-
lated to make serious and lasting Impressions
on the young communicate. Precept and OK
ample are alternated throughout, thus carry
ing the mind along without that fatigue
which creeps apace undisciplined youth
There is not one page in the book which does
not contain gem-and as u whole we know
of no similar publication which can at all COM
pare with it in its promise of usefulness Mrs.
Sadlier deserves sincere thanks for making
such II work accessible and All Catholic fami-
lies in the land should place it in the hands of
their children as a precious boon.

The real presence of the Victim in the Holy
Sacrament of the Altar was as sensible to me
as the presence of my mother at my side. When
the Host was laid on my lips felt as though l

pied me- was the fear of profaning the sacred
bread. conceived even the courage of the
martyrs, and could, at that moment, have con-

licity which preceded in my soul but n little

The NEW EGLECTIC.-April 1868 Baltimore
Turnbun &, Murdock
We neglected, through oversight, to notice,
last week, this new candidate in the literary
field. Its design is to republish the ablest ar
ticles as they appear in the European and Amer
lean Quarterlies and Monthlies. The selections
in the number before us evince Judgment and
taste, and if the conductors steer clear of the
shoals of bigotry and prejudice, they have an
ample field to operate in, and, we think, there
exists predisposition on the part of the South |
to patronize the Neo Eclectic.
The CATHOLIC WoRID.-April, 1863
This ever welcome publication comes to us, |
through the hands of Mr.. Gogarty, in good sea- |
son. The present is u rich number-soiid !
varied, instructive, entertaining. We can |
scarcely conceive in which n Catholic
having once opened the WOrld, could be content
to relinquish its companionship;
md Protestants would consult their best in
crests in becoming systematic readers of its
pages. Contents: "The Monks of the West :"
