spoken OF a SInned against tnaI SIN
ming without the requisite inverted commas. A
series Of words from the divine William should be
recognized Immediately, and the same of q parody
on any famous soiloquy or dialog. By the way,
in Kenily worth is the death of Amy Robsart
murder in the first degree? Ifso, who, by circum-
stantial evidence, would probably be convicted?-
John James.
Ella Hull wishes TO know who likes " David Cop
perfield.' am just through reading that master
piece of Charles Dickens, and consider 1t a very
practical work OF fiction. In this book both young
and old alike can find in some part Of the work
some interesting applications either TO themselves
or TO some character they have met with closely
during life. The children aad youth must particu-
larry admire the way in which "Copperheld"
fought his early OpposioBs, especially those OF his
school days. / would heartily recommend the
reading of this work by every member OF the Q. &.
For lovers of deep reading would suggest Les
Niserables," by Victor Hugo" Trifer, Green's
