ry finds in her
utterance a voice that must stir an earnest life in the brothers
and sisters of her nation. She is one of the spiritual products of
the soil, which has of late given evidence of spiritual fertility;
and she promises not to be the least healthy, as she is not the
least choice among them; she is only putting out her spring buds;
if no untimely frost shall nip them, when the summer suns are warm
they will be splendid blossoms, and long before autumn begins to
dim the sky with its mellow shootings they will be luxuriant
fruit.--HENRY GILES.

This is one of those charming books which well deserves a place in
every family library, and which has already won a place in
thousands of hearts. The Sketches comprised in these beautiful
volumes are so full of grace and tenderness, so pure in their
style and so elevated in their tone, that none can read them
without delight and profit. We hazard little in saying that the
