America History of the City Of New York."
st. st.; White & Stokes New York. 1882. Price,
This is one of the prettiest and most
attractive of books for the Christmas
lime. The moral of the story is purposely
hidden between the lines, and the charmed
young reader will Of course have no un-
easiness about its discovery. AS some of |
our young friends, who are made happy |
by finding this volume among their holt |
day treasures, turn over the leaves of |
the dainty volume they will
make the acquaintance of al
family CT live, loveable, but by no means
perfect, children. Their names we find
are Ned, Horace, Rose, Beauty and Maud.
Ned and Horace are cousins, and very I'M
like each other, although, nearly of the
same size and age-twelve years. The
three bright little girls are eight, five and
three years of age, respectively. The five
children all differ in their characteristics,
but are we'll bred, we'll disposed, full of fun
and frolic, and the righteousness of child
hood, and they really charm one with their
natural sayings and doings, in spite of their
faults, which they make praiseworthy efforts
to correct. There is no effort to infict
any lessons, and yet many beautiful
suggestions have crept into the pictures of
home-life, both in city and country, in
which the Hooker children'are the prominent
figures. We see the beauty of unselfshness
nd fho ~
ness lies. The'great thought which is
threaded through this charming story is,
that merit lies, not so much in being desti-
tute.. of faults, as in the disposition to cor
rect them. The book is handsomely print
ed, exquisitely illustrated and finely bound
and is in nine chapters. For sale by the
st. Paul Book and Stationery Co.
