Jane, therefore, check-ed her own an-gry feel-ings, kis-sed Tommy's bump-ed fore-head to make it well, and cheer-fully set out again to the spring, and filled her pitch-er afresh. When the bus-i-ness of giving the little boy his sup-per was fin-ish-ed, she put him to bed.

Who would la-bour on the soil through a whole sum-mer if he knew that he was li-a-ble to have his har-vest seiz-ed in the au-tumn by a ty-rant?

Lesson 236.-Learn for Monday Morning.

LITTLE THINGS.

Since trifles make the sum of hu-man things,
And half our misery from our foibles springs ;
Since life's best joys consist in peace and ease,
And few can save or serve, but all can please;
Oh! let the ungentle spirit learn from hence,
A small unkindness is a great offence.
Large bounties to restore we wish in vain,
But all may shun the guilt of giving pain.

Hannah More.

READING-BOOKS.

The Scientific Reader. F'cap 8vo, 224 pp., cloth, price 1s. 6d. Of these Supplementary Reading Books the SCIENTIFIC READER is the first. In this will be found reading lessons in most branches of science to which it is desirable to call the attention of the youthful learner. It will be at once understood that the leading principles only of the varicus sciences that are brought under consideration are touched on, as it is manifestly impossible to do more in a lesson, which is intended rather for class reading than for private study, with a view to examination in Science subjects. The SCIENTIFIC READER is intended, in fact, to serve the purpose of a finger-post to the sciences, and not that of a treatise or series of treatises on the sciences themselves. To show the range of subjects embraced in the Scientific Reader it will be sufficient to say that lessons bearing on Zoology, Botany, Mineralogy, Geology, Astronomy, Architecture, and Physical Geography are given in combination with others on the Properties of Matter, the Laws of Motion, Mechanics, the Pressure and Motion of Liquids, the Atmosphere, Sound, the Eye, Heat, Meteorology, Electricity, and Chemistry. The lessons are accompanied, when necessary, by notes embodying brief biographical sketches of eminent men whose names have been mentioned, with other information specially referring to points touched on therein; and to some a Glossary of Difficult Words and Scientific Terms has been prefixed, while to others lists of words of a similar kind have been appended as Exercises in Meanings and Derivation for the pupil to prepare after the manner of the Glossaries.

"Mr. John Heywood has already determined to supplement the series already published by some Readers on special subjects, and the first in this category is intended as a finger-post to the sciences. The range of topics treated upon is of a very extensive character, embracing well-nigh all the ologies. As an introduction to scientific study it will be found of much service."-Literary World, Nov. 8, 1872.

The Scripture Reading Book. F'cap 8vo, bound in strong cloth, price 1s. 6d. Containing a series of lessons from Holy Scripture for the use of schools and private families. By Rev. A. ADAMS, M.A., Rector of St. Thomas's, Manchester. The SCRIPTURE READING Book is to enable teachers to put into the hands of their scholars a series of narratives, didactic and prophetical selections from Holy Scripture, which will give a comprehensive view of the sacred volume without necessitating its constant use. At the same time it should

be remembered that it is not intended to attempt to drive the Bible from the school, but rather to form a basis upon which the future study of the Bible may become more easy and profitable.

"This volume contains a capital collection of readings from, Scripture in the language of the Bible. There is no comment that is left to the teacher himself. To those who object to certain passages in the Bible we can commend this volume. The selections do credit to the judgment of the compiler, and any teacher will be able to make a selection of readings for different classes."-Educational Reporter, Oct. 4, 1872.

* * * "Mr. Adams has very cleverly constructed one continuous narrative from the four Gospels, without any alteration of the text. Beyond question the editor has done his work well".School Board Chronicle, Dec. 14, 1872.

"The compiler's design is to put into the hands of learners such a series of narratives, didactic and prophetical selections from Holy Scripture, as will suffice to give a comprehensive view of the sacred volume, without necessitating its constant use."-Church Herald, Sept., 1872.
