Minturn's book is of a high order, and, altogether, we consider it a timely and important contribution to our stock of meritorious works." Boston Journal. Le Cabinet des Feés; or, Recreative Readings. Arranged for the Express Use of Students in French. By George S. Gerard, A.M., Prof, of French and Literature. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.

But what, then, is the name of this burnt plain, unwatered by one liquid drop, unvisited even by dews in the cold dry night? Have you not yet found a heart, man, to thank Heaven for that kind supply of recreative nourishment, sweet as infant's food, the rich delicious yolk, which bears up still your halting steps across this world of sand?

There is not a spot in Europe, within the limits of a city, more distinctly remembered by the transatlantic traveller, the only spacious area of solid ground under the open sky, in that marvellous old city of the sea, the gay centre of a recreative population, where the costumes and physiognomies of the Orient and the West mingle in dramatic contrast, the nucleus of historical and romantic associations, singularly domesticated in two hemispheres by the household lore of Shakspeare and Otway, Byron and Rogers, Cooper and Ruskin.

Yet his plump, healthy-looking cheeks were so robustly constituted, and contained such an abundance of recreative vigour, that a new whisker soon sprouted in place of the old one, and even surpassed its predecessor. In short, Nozdrev was, as it were, a man of incident. Never was he present at any gathering without some sort of a fracas occurring thereat.

Oh, let no native Londoner imagine that health and rest and innocent occupation, interchange of converse sweet and recreative study, can make the country anything better than altogether odious and detestable. A garden was the primitive prison, till man with Promethean felicity and boldness luckily sinned himself out of it.

The vigorous walk through the woods; the silent ministrations of nature; the simple food; the sweet imaginative associations with David; but above all that most recreative force in nature, the presence and prattle of a child, filled her sad heart with a happiness of which she had believed herself forever incapable.

If a girl has work to do, everything should be so arranged as not to deprive the vacation of its recreative side. On the other hand the summer should be all the happier because of a definite object to be accomplished. Something is wrong with a girl unless she finds both summer and winter full of opportunity and pleasure.

They passed before two chapels opposite to each other, belonging the one to the Recreative Religionists, the other to the Hallelujah League sects which flourished then, and which exist to the present day. Then the cortège wound from street to street, making a zigzag, choosing by preference lanes not yet built on, roads where the grass grew, and deserted alleys. At length it stopped.

The first is a relaxation of the tense schoolroom atmosphere, valuable for its refreshing recreative power.

Blest, then, is he who gives them a sense of the pride of standing on legs. Beer, ordinarily their solitary helper beneath the iron canopy of wealth, is known to them as a bitter usurer; it knocks them flat in their persons and their fortunes, for the short spell of recreative exaltation.
