things. Boston, Ticknor d. Fields

MEN OF Our DAY.-A peculiar feature Of
Republican Society is the rapid advance
ment of men of talent and ability to posi-
tiOus of trust and responsibility. There
are, at this time, many men prominently
before the American people whose career is
but partially known. We read eagerly the
words of counsel and cheer they speak, and
catch glimpses of their lives, only to wish
for a more intimate knowledge of their
character, and the steps by which they have
attained their present position. DR.. L. P.

Our HoUN'5 FOLKS for August is very good |
indeed, even the hot weather having failed |
to make it dull. "Up the Creek" by Helen
G. Weeks is charming little sketch of day |
in the salt-meadows. W. A Butler sings
pleasantly about the mischevous ''Some-
body" who is known to all boys and girls,
when anything is broken or lost. |
PUSSY and Emily Matured," tells what |
finally became of pussy Willow, ;" and ex-
plains why it was not told before. "The |
Strolling Player" is a neat little poem by |
E. Stuart Phelps. Mrs. Diaz continues the |
well conceived william Henry's letters to
his Grandmother" "Green Apples" by ]. |
T. Trow bridge illustrates, or is illustrated by |
a full page picture, by Winslow Homer.
Conant, who wrote the ''Butteray Book" +"
which all boys and girls should possess,
furnishes pleas ant article on midsummer /
Butterflies" The Great Sea Fight off |
Sluys," by J. Il. A. Bone is said by the New
York Times to be a spirited story" in
which "boys will take great delight" and we
we have not a word to say against the opin-
ion of the Times. We can add, without
improperly, that the illustration of the ter |
rife broad swerd combat, by Hennessey, is |
remarkably good. DR.. Hayes continues his
"Csst Away in the Co.d," and the "Ash-box
School" is good wind-up to the list of ar
ticles. In addition are two pretty musical
and the usual melange of fun,
puzzels, and gossip. [ROstOn! TieknOr 4
