mind or heart of the youthful reader.--_Webster Times_.

Oliver Optic is the apostolic successor, at the "Hub," of Peter Parley.
He has just completed the "Woodville Stories," by the publication of
"Haste and Waste." The best notice to give of them is to mention that a
couple of youngsters pulled them out of the pile two hours since, and
are yet devouring them out in the summer-house (albeit autumn leaves
cover it) oblivious to muffin time.--_N.Y. Leader._
