Elder.
This excellent Magazine, which bears the
appreciation of His Eminence, Cardinal COL
len, and contains words of encouragement
from Right Rev. DR.. Ullathorn and Very Kew
II. Newman, needs only word from us TO
call attenti to it's extreme cAespness and TO
the varied talent employed upon it's pages
The price, six pence monthly in Dublin, or
two dollars and . half per apnum to American
50 ubscribers, is, some one expresses it, q per-
feet marvel" of cheapness, and certainly
comes within the reach of every one who
wishes to obtain O reliable Catholic periodical.
The contents of the number before Us are at
tractive, instructive and solid, and are illus
trated by many beautiful epgravngs in the
best style of art. We give the table OF con-

A glance at the above will show the variety
of the information, and tie talent OF tne
writer's; and must make every one wonder
how such results can be achieved upon the oa-
sis of such low subscription. Every article
in the book is of high order of merit and the
Illustrations excellent. With such woIk
within reach there can be no exouse for any
Catholic to complain of a want Of b h's1-toned,
intellectual, artistic, and superior Catholic
literature
Speller and Hord Book. New York: Ber z g T
Brothers.
The compilers of the Catholic National
Series have left nothirg undone to make their
course complete and satisfactory. This little
Speller and Word Book is quite an original
work, affording interesting Ohject-Lessons
comprising such subjects as are familiar to
scholars daily life. The words are grouped
together according to the association Of ideas,
and the information conveyed is as interesting
as it is instructive. For example, under the
words, the study of which will delight any
| school boy while that entitled, Home Mat
ter" must prove very entertaining to either
| girl or boy. Means of Conveyance" gives us
! the names of forty four such means; not
omttipg the generic term which 80 much puz
zled good Mrs. PartiDg'on in days gone by
/ Then we have terms implying motion ;
| those belonging to the Body, Mind; to Food
Vegetables, Nuts, Wines, Fruits, etc which
classify the objects themselves in clear and
| intelligent marrer.
Part III. is devoted to words alike in spell
ing ard accent, but differing in sound ant
meaning; to those alike in sound, etc, syno
pvmous words, &c SO that it seems 20 u.s. a
we IooE over the pages, that every thing ht
been thought of which can instruct the mind
command the attention of the pupil, and as
sist in a practical and thorough understanding
l Of the spelling, meaning, and use of words
Another feature of the book which bespeak
the favor of Catholics, is the Introduction G
words relating to Religion, to such matters c
Faith as should be familiar to every ctilt
These are also grouped into interesting class
fcatons; ard in the hands of any intelliger
teacher must furnish varied ard importar
7, knowledge.
The SpelleT is not intended for beginners
but is accompaniment TO the advance
p readers OF this Series; and, we are sure, it wi
/, be found by all who use it, an improvemeG
! upon all existing works of the kird. TT
Catholic National Series OF Readers, Spelle
ETC., is now before the public; and we tEu
. the labor and zaal expended npon it by Il
>. learL ed Bishop Gilmour will meet with an i
- teligent appreciation on tie part of our Cath
lie community.
We would remind the pubiishere that boo
80 provocative of frequent reference should
extra we'll bound.
