Hough; published by the Ap- ple-tons of New York. The Nation, the best authority, gives it a full re- vieW and speaks in very high terms of it as accurate. not overdrawn. but true to life, and therefor a perfectly safe and healthy book for boys to read. It is a book boys ought to read. It is not fiction. though strang- er than fiction, and it describes a kind of life which ere long will be a thing of the past in our national his- tory.

Yes. 'but when teachers in our day, with all their progressive spirit and metlr ods. turn out such men as Arnold sent out from Rugby through Ox- ford; Cambridge and the other universities, into the world we will take Arnold down off his pedestal. We are ashamed to own that our Arnold is marked “May ll. 1370," as the day we finished reading’ it. though we hare rend paragraphs. selections, and chapters since. The life of Arnold for every teaéher and preacher is one of the rude mecunu not to be dispensed with. :- 11121de both ends meet and kept their heads ubow Wm while in late! 3 pears it was more than that.
