Chat about book-collecting and collectors by
one who has bibliomania himself is sure 10
he interesting 10 book-loYers, and in this case
it is given alrily and wlttily that ii viii in
terest the general reader also and be very apt
10 have Proselytizing effect upon those who
abounds in fair thoughts and amusing fan
ces, with scraps of history and anecdo
about books, and with gentle suggestions OF
what is good taste in selecting rare volumes,
and in binding and arranging them. Inter
spersed with the sage prose there is a great
deal OF verse with many quaint twists 10 It.
The author maintains that whatever may
be the faults of the book-worm he is always
guieless-he never has TO hasten away 10
Canada as c. result of his conduct. He seems
inclined to regard women as among the enc
mics of books. He states that book collectors
have to father their treasures surreptitiously
for fear these fair despots would consider
themselves bbed of their bonnets and gloves
by the price OF the books. A complaint is
lodged against booksellers, who. says Mr..
Browne, should teach their clerks 10 recogn ze
q book worm at glance and let him browse
around among the shelves without oficious
offers of help to find what he wants.
The volume is most artistically printed and
bound at Ebert Hubbards shop, which turns
out work unique and attractive enough to
tempt one to read even q dull author. The
edition is limited TO $50 copies, and each copy
is numbered ana signed.

Mrs. Higginson's characters are SO natural
that they seem to be studies from real life,
and they move the reader with feeling that
is q strange mixture of mirth and sadness
She takes q large view of life and makes
us see some of the pettinesses OF
human nature without making us
despise it, and she enlarges our
knowledge and sympathies by showing us a
greatness and goodness in a class OF people
that superficial observation would have set
down as commonplace, vulgar or mean. Per-
haps the most fruitful sermons for good are
those which are delivered to us through the
medium of art, and they become to US more
like the lessons of personal experience than

poses

new wife and her mo ther are the principal
persons IN this little drama and the portrayal

of each one is masterpiece. The husband is
distracted with the Quarrels of his bride and
his mother, both of whom he dear ly loves, and
being poor he wishes to have them both make
their home with him. The women are at
once vulgar and mean. spiteful and kind
hearted. How this mix ture is possible we are

OLD ENGLISH PAPERS.

The Oldest English newspaper is the London
Gazette, which was. on is first publication on
Novem Der IA, 1863 known as the Oxford
Gazette from the fact OF the Parliament sit
ting at Oxford. This name was changed on
February 5, 1866, to the present one. But
though the London Gazette ontains some
items of much interest to certain people, such
az those who have received "honors" at the
hands of royalty, or those whose bankruptcies
are announced, it is not newspaper in the
usual sense OF the term-that is, as being read
generally by the public
The honor of being the oldest newspaper OF
this class in the British Isles, and hence prob
ably in the world. may be unhesitatingly
awarded, says Answers, to Berrow's Worcester
Journal, which made its appearance in 1890,
ten years before the beginning of the eight
eenth century. 1t has always had wide cir
culation among the higher classes OF Its dis
trict and is to-day as vigorous as ever. But
when it first came out it was not under its
present name. and this factor Is of import
ance in considering its claim to the premier
honors OF the journalistic world.
Perhaps the palm of being the doyen of
English journals ought to be awarded the

should almost assign 70 it the first place

How few Of all this hurrying crowd
Who press 10 reacn the house of prayer,
Who seek the temple of their God
Seek him whose spirit hoveri there!
See yon demure and pious maid,
She surely shows devotion true;
In robes of purity srrayed,
Her bonnet, not her heart, is newl
Toyonder heaving bosom turn,
Which swells with silent rapture high:
With sacred zeal her heart must burn;
Ali trace the coquette's glancing eyeI

His thoughts must be on heaven intent;
But heaven perhaps, in him may read

With nimble steps and ca er haste
That pous youth with pleasure view,
Who fears single moments waste
His footsteps yonder fair pursue.
Yet who shall dare presume to raise
