The Chadren's Garlands.-Ths is the title of
little book of poetry, selected from our best
authors, by Coventry Patmore, aud published
BY Sever, FraDcis & Co. 1t is really a selec-
ton of the choicest little poems and songs
and sonnets in the Enelish language-the
time-tried fsvorites in rhyme. For the most
part these are simple enough to be appreciated
by an intelligent child; but not at all too sim
pie to be admired by the most cultured adult.
