Little Minnie's Troubles. By N. D'Anvers. (Henry S. King.)—This is
a prettily told little story, meant to teach little girl's to be thoughtful and obedient, even if they have a stern governess with the ugly name of Miss Brown. It can hardly fail to do them some good ; certainly its closing scene, though it is not doleful, be it understood, will bring a few tears to their eyes. If we might snake a suggestion to the author, it would be this. The scrapes into which Minnie falls are too varied and too continuous ; no little girl could ever have got into such trouble in the course of a few weeks and lived. There should be one great scrape, led up to as the author pleases, and ending in any consequences that she may think fit. Meanwhile, mother i may hold up Minnie': Troubles as a mirror to their little she-pickles.
