The Advocate is ready to-day. Peruthanhs the opening verse of the number is delicate, but not well rounded. Of the prose contributions, the charming little sketch, "Where the Muse Abideth," is perhaps the best, it is followed by another sketch, "An Unpleasant Reminiscence," which is decidedly disappointing. As to the two stories, "Right or Wrong?" and "Violin," the former is a peculiar but not unlikely tale well brought out, the latter is a vivid piece of writing rather packing in moral tone. A story with a moral tacked on the end is usually tiresome, a story like "Violin" without a moral scattered through it deserves tile praise. A collection of six daily themes selected from English XII. forms a pleasant innovation. The first and the fifth are particularly clear.
