articles we've entertaining, and many
of them humorous. Moreover the IL
Illustrations are furnished by the stud
ents, and some good work in carica-
ture is shown. The cover design, al
so home product, is especially good,

We are in receipt from our friend P.
A. Butler, Auburndale, Mass, of a
copy of the New Year Number of the
Boston Herald which contained valu-
able illustrations of Boston today and |
years ago, as we'll as views of old Bos-
ton, England. As we looked upon
them, I'VE thought of the many times
we had traversed those streets and had
looked upon those familiar buildings,
probably never to see them again. We
would rather be in Boston, or near
Boston than any place on this earth,
and we don't care who knows it, We
are certainly much obliged to Mr..
Butler for his kindness in forwarding
tie paper, and assure him it will be
treasured among our books and papers.
