"Tales by the O'Hara Family" have been
among the most popular found in Irish litera-
ture. They were the joint efforts of John and
Michael Banitn.- The subject of the present

age of six commenced his efforts at the "a craft
of authorship, W lille yet unable to sit at an
ordinary writing table. Leaving home at an
early period, and consequently thrown on his
own resources, he found his true vocation in
literature. In his twenty-thirti year he pro-
duced " Damon and Ply thias,7 which was played
at Covent Garden Theatre, with Macready and
Charles Kemble in the principal characters.

now recommend it in it's present shape to all
who can appreciate the tenderness and self
devotion Of the female character, as developed
by the graphic pen of the noble author. 80

Lady Herbert has become q volumnons
writer, and the interest in her productions
whether -"Cradle Lands" g Impressions of
Spain" or Stories, such the one before us-ip-
creases with each issue. Though the
moral of this-Self- Sacrifce-is not made OBJ
trusiye, we are deeply interested while inn
pressed with the fact that untold evil may re-
suit if there be any departure from right-even
though upright motives apparently, aud gen
| erous impulses prompt.
We are indebted to the courtesy of z. F Go
garty, Catholic bookseller aud stationer, Isl
Camp street, for both these books as well as
for 90 The Life of John Banim," aud 1.-THE
Ghost Hunters" from the same publishers, no
ticed elsewhere.

An excellent number from which we take
few well-considered thoughts about " Ser
wants: ~
| ave have often been struck with the almost
| total want of consideration, true kindness and
charity shown to servants by families where
! all the members in other respects are truly ad-
mirable characters, but where servants
| concerned, all natural beneyolence aud real
! kindness Of heart is suppressed from the habit
| OF looking upon them mere Instruments Tor
! the comfort and convenience of thnse in the
| upper walks of life. In comparatively few-of
our American homes is the relation between
mistress and servant viewed in any other light
| than the right on the one side to command
and on the other the obligation to obey. That
any responsibility rests upon the mistress re-
! garding her servants is not thought of; that
the mistress example and influence may give
| The conduct of the servants bias for good or
| evil is never considered, and that there is u
| possibility of the one committing sin of
omission in not looking to the welfare of the
other whom Providence has, for the time,
made member of her household, is view OF
! the matter which few take. Servants are
looked upon, general thing, class of
persons "under authority and the least show
of being anything but mere passive instru-
ments, the least pretension to anything like
feeling, must be put down ut once; no solici.
tude must be manifested for their health or
comfort, lest they presume upon such treat
meIit and become familiar"
