The other three volumes are for children. One

handsome volume OF original rhy mes, somewhat

animals extensively figure, is the production OF
Miss Harriet b. McKeever, who knows-few bet
ter-how to instruct, while amusing, children:

new poetioal version Of Jack and Jill, with six
Illustrations and a leaned mock-critical disser-

legend The verses are smoothly and pleas
antly written, and MIR. Gobrights gentl :
humor adds them decided charm. He thue
concludes
Though countless names illuminate
The history of man,
For warike acts and civil deeds,
Fer since the world began,
"No characters are better kuoWn
Than humble Jack and Jill,
With incidents concerning them,
That happened on the hill.
From which lesson may be learned,
OF interest TO all
Let them who think that they firm stand,
Take heed lest they shall fall"

The most striking feature of the
emigration of the last three years,
say the English Commissioners in
their annual report just issued, has
been the increase in the number Of
English omigrants, especially as
compared with Irish. Previous to

when the young man caught her
in his arms.
No more of the story need be
told but that the Alsagcrs found the
old home too small for them, as their
daughter Alice and her husband
were always to live with them. 50
they discovered another place not
very far away, and they made ar
rangemcnts to resell the old home
to Frank Rowan for his young wife
and himself. Nor does the tale need
any particular moral, except per-
haps, that in announcing by letter
an approaching marriage it is al
ways safer to mention the exact
names of the persons about to
marry.

A singular discovery has recently

they thought, it would not be probo'

proceeded but u short distance how.
ever, when they encountered II pea
of lost niggcrhcad" rocks, which,
upon being broken open, were foun'
to contain water and other sub
stances, supposed to be ore OF some
kind. When they rcachedthe depth
of sixty feet from the surface, they
came to large cave, which they fol-
lowed the distance Of ten or twelve
feet, when there before their go2o
was II beautiful river of clear water,
which upon examination was fonnd
to contain an innumerable number
of small white fish. Upon II closer
examination it WAS found to be SIN
teen feet wide and five feet in DEPTH
and as clear and cold rs spring wa
ter. As an experiment, lighted
candle was placed on Il small piece
of plank and Sc. aAoat: 1t started
off into the darkness with the cur
rent, apd was soon lost to sight
Many conjectures have been made as
to this great curiosity, but the Only
reasonable impression Is thht Ill
former days when the country was
inhabited by Inliaus, the latter had
known of this cave aud river, and
had concealed their wealth III 1t, and
then filled the cutr,nne TO the cave
with loose rocks, and left to r'tnra;

In Arkansas, for instance, the an
