He was never so happy as when telling to these little ones the story of redeeming love.  In the choice of subjects for his class, he was somewhat peculiar as well as in his manner of treating them.  He was particularly emphatic and earnest, used to fill his little hearers with awe, when he spoke of the danger of sin and the importance of resisting its beginnings.  But his two favorite themes of all—­and those which dwelt most frequently on his lips—­were, “God is love,” and, “Love is the fulfilling of the law.”

BOOKS FOR BOYS.

Joe’s Luck:  A Boy’s Adventures in California.  By HORATIO ALGER, JR. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.

The story is chock full of stirring incidents, while the amusing situations are furnished by Joshua Bickford, from Pumpkin Hollow, and the fellow who modestly styles himself the “Rip-tail Roarer, from Pike Co., Missouri.”  Mr. Alger never writes a poor book, and “Joe’s Luck” is certainly one of his best.

A bright, enterprising lad was Tom the Bootblack.  He was not at all ashamed of his humble calling, though always on the lookout to better himself.  The lad started for Cincinnati to look up his heritage.  Mr. Grey, the uncle, did not hesitate to employ a ruffian to kill the lad.  The plan failed, and Gilbert Grey, once Tom the bootblack, came into a comfortable fortune.  This is one of Mr. Alger’s best stories.
