LASSIE. By the Author of _Laddie_, _Tip-Cat_, &c. With Frontispiece by Jessie Wilson. 1/
No reader of this author's _Laddie_ has ever been able quite to forget that pathetic story. After a lapse of many years the same, writer has written its counterpart, in which the heroine, booked as a nurse for South Africa, stays at home for the apparently less heroic duty of keeping house for a rather shiftless father, and in doing so she develops much quiet heroism and unselfishness, shown further in her nursing work in the village, during which she falls a victim to an epidemic. The story shows how a very quiet life may be as heroic as one spent amid the rude alarms of war.

These talks and stories of plant and animal life afford simple lessons on the importance of 'Eyes and No Eyes,' and show what an immense interest the study of natural history, even in its simplest forms, will produce in the minds of young folks.
