little toy-volume such as ladies love to carry in their pockets, and then pointed to a name written in faded characters on the fly-leaf. Caroline Anastasia Garland. "But mamma's name is not Caroline," said George, "nor Garland." "But it may have been Garland once," replied Walter, "and it is Anastasia now.” "I think I had better keep this little book, Walter," said George. "All right," said volatile Walter readily. So Caroline Garland's memorandum book changed hands again. (To be continued.) THE FIRST WHITE HAIR. Oh! love, the world is growing old, Which, blushing, greets the traveller's eye, Thee for thy modest grace I woo'd, And love alone made fast the tie : Come on my bosom lay thine head, Amid the locks which shade thy face: Which time's soft touch has planted there. Ah! dearest, though love charms the heart, S. A. STOWE. 1880. QUESTIONING. QHOU comest softly o'er the snow, From God's sublime eternity, With clash and clangour of the bells, We bring thee treasure rich and large- We give our dear ones to thy charge, We give thee hopes as high as heaven, But when thy feet have trod the round, Shall we count up our life-gems rare, Of all we gave unto thy care? We cannot know-Oh dread New Year; H. S. GOOD ADVICE.-Young girls who yet remain to be won, should be exceedingly careful about falling in love with young men, whether rich or poor, They cannot guard their affections too carefully in reference to those whose sentiments towards themselves are as yet unknown. If a young woman wishes to obtain a good husband, her surest way is by the sedulous cultivation of her own head and heart, and by learning all the domestic duties on which so much depends in married life. Thus she may attract him-it may be some one now unknown to her-as the most fragrant flowers attract the bee, even from a distance. WISDOM. We cannot conquer fate and necessity, yet we can yield to them in such a manner as to be greater than if we could. 1 vol. cloth, fcap. 8vo. 58. POEMS AND SONNETS. BY HARRIETT STOCKALL.

Devere's Model Busts, Price 26s. Each. (Including Crate, Packing, and free delivery within 4 miles of Charing Cross, or at any London Terminus.) We supply these Busts, for the following sizes of Chest Measures :-31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 39, 41, 42, and 44 inches. Devere's Model Bust is specially made for the use of Drapers, Dressmakers, and private families, it is accurately moulded in papier maché from the most perfect figures, and is covered with stout twilled calico, thus affording a firm yet flexible surface for the various purposes of making, trimming, and trying-on garments. It is mounted on a handsome polished black stand, and, by means of the screw shown on the engraving, can be raised or lowered in height according to requirement. Another great advantage is the facility with which it turns round on the pivot, thus enabling the worker to fit or trim the back or front of a dress without moving from her position. Drapers, Dressmakers, and private families find these Busts are invaluable, from the ease they afford for the arrangement of the elegant but complicated styles of trimmings so much in vogue at the present time. In private families, one Bust serves for all members of the family who are not smaller in size than the bust, but Drapers and Dressmakers should always have more than one size. We allow a discount of 5 per cent. on two Busts, 7 per cent. on three Busts, 10 per cent. on four Busts, and 12 per cent. on six Busts, if they are all ordered for the same person at one time. These Busts are so arranged as to take to pieces with the greatest ease, and pack in a very small compass, thus reducing the expense of carriage to the lowest amount. Full instructions for putting together are forwarded to each purchaser. The crates (which are specially made to suit each Bust) should be preserved for use in case of removal. N. B.
