"P.S. If you thought of a middle plan between a _Spectator_ and a

newspaper, why not?--only not on a _Sunday_. Not that Sunday is not

an excellent day, but it is engaged already. We will call it the 'Tenda

Rossa,' the name Tassoni gave an answer of his in a controversy, in

allusion to the delicate hint of Timour the Lame, to his enemies, by a

'Tenda' of that colour, before he gave battle. Or we will call it 'Gli,'

or 'I Carbonari,' if it so please you--or any other name full of

'pastime and prodigality,' which you may prefer. * * * Let me have an

answer. I conclude poetically, with the bellman, 'a merry Christmas to

you!"'--_Lord Byron to Mr. Moore, in his Life of the Noble Poet_,

vol. ii. p. 387.

FOR ALL FAMILIES.

In a closely-printed volume, price 5_s._ the

FAMILY MANUAL,

AND SERVANTS' GUIDE.

"This little volume contains much useful information upon every subject

in which a domestic servant ought to be well versed. From the

housekeeper to the scullery-maid, and from the butler to the groom,

advice, cautions, receipts, and general hints, are given to each and

all. They are written in a plain and sensible manner, and appear, as far

as we are able to judge, the results of practical experience. To the

master and mistress, as well as to those whose duties are of a more

humble nature, the book may be strongly recommended. It is one from

which the high and low may derive much benefit, and should find a place

in the kitchen or servants'-hall of those who desire to blend comfort

with elegance, and prudence with luxury."--_New Monthly Magazine for

the present month._
