an exquisite Sonnet" by f. A Hill

instruction principally Of an ecclesiasti-
cal and theological character, "Eleanor's
Career" by Tia Aniol Prokop, is short
and interesting, with the usual supposed
pleasant ending. Seventy Years Ago"
by Ethel @. Gale, breathes a delightful
odor of the olden times, and is very
charming reading. "A March Violet"

poem. Mr.. I. Adolphns Trollope ex-
plains the question" What is a Con-
claveY" Monsoon Pacha,' is a short
and strong poem by George II. Boxer.
How Ham was Cured" by Jennie

is a very healthy piece of literary criti-
