A book read aloud at hunou g.-ts a charm apart from irsi'lf sometimes ; its very name will conjure up iv our memories scenes in the fur past -the pleasant family cirel •, then, perhaps, unbroken, the cheerful fireside, and and frequently, too, the comments upon what is "being rea<t which add to the interest aud give a newer insight. The same association appli s to a piece of work which is in operation while any book is being read. — South and West.
