    , From such a description we might expect her to ing be to very 4 woman gentle ' s as sp well here , , but " as instead Mr . Gladstone of

    stickthe other day advised some young Jadies to do , she is a most determined politician . She joins the * Primrose League , ' and then ' even the

    baby seemed to sprout primroses from every pore , ' which was something phenomenal for a baby . However , the little lady deserts the * League' and joins the adherents of Mr

    . Gladstone , which give 3 rise to some interesting scenes . The book is smartly written , and will while away an hour very agreeably .

    the world written by mtnypens , but this is , we - believe , the first elaborate attempt that has been made to describe the wonders of our terrestrial

    ball in dashing rhyme . At any rate the author claims for -- ¦ it ¦ - ™ - the — ' »— ¦—¦ ^ ¦ ^ * honour - ^ m- —~^^ - ^» - ^ ^ ^^ of ^ b * ¦ ^ hh being ii > ^ i ^ ^^ ***** h ^ m ' the ^ v *« Jft ^^^ onl ^ mi fb ^ K *• y w

    long poem in the language going over so wide a range , and written by one who has gone over the greater portion oJt the ground himself . ' It

    ] will thus be seen that * Kalph ' has the advan-; mostly tage of descr Dante ibe wha other t they realistic have seen poets with , who the

    genof the poem , we are told , belong to * the region of fancy , ' but , as the novelists sometimes say , the story is founded on fact . A great manV

    curious experiences ' Kalph' has had , which he manages to pack into rhyme with more or less success . One thing may be said for him fc that

    if - ^ — — — he - — — — - - is w v not — — always — — — . — ^^ hig hly poetic ^^ —^ ^^ ^ he ¦ ^ ^^^ is never , a % A A ^ j ^ ^ J dull . Indeed his vivacity is quite wonderful considering — ^ j that — — he — travelled — — " ~ sixty-five ™~ thou vik - ,

    travel sixty-five thousand statute miles , and then write ten cantos about the trip . This is what ' Ralph ' has doneand the record is not

    , uninteresting . From the same . — ' Gentleman Jack , ' by M . L .

    Tyler . A * shilling shocker ' that will serve to while away a vacant half-hour . The story is written in tolerable Englishand is highl

    supply illustrations . The agreement is cunningly so worded that while it is binding on the author-artist it leaves the publishers practically

    free to do as seems to them good . The conditions are unfair , but Dirk has a wife and family on the brink of starvation , and is ready

    to accept any offer that is likely to secure them bread .
