Natural History receives a good deal
of attention in this number. The

lively aud wise Jack in-the Pulpit. Mrs.

West. The poems, In Summer Time.
and The little Doll that Lied, are each
marked by peculiar quaint humor
that will be sure to make them widely

exquisitely illustrated from designs by
the author. Besides all this there is q
