In the world's broad field of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb driven cattle: Be a hero in the strife.

In Mr. John Habberton's excellent and popular little book, _Who was Paul Grayson?_[1] young readers will find a story which is intensely interesting in itself, and at the same time full of instruction. No one can read it without feeling how much better it is to be kind and considerate toward others than to be teasing and thoughtless, especially toward the unfortunate and friendless. The volume is very prettily illustrated from original designs.

The boy readers of YOUNG PEOPLE, those who are just approaching the important point when a profession must be chosen, will find much to interest them in a small, neat volume entitled _West Point and the Military Academy_,[2] of which a new and revised edition has just been published. In this little book are full answers to every question which arises in the mind of a youth wishing to gain admittance to the Military Academy. The manner of appointment and the physical and mental requirements are very clearly told, and a model is given of a preliminary examination. There are also some good words of advice to new cadets, and very pleasant pictures of the duties and pleasures of the four years' course. Any young man desiring to obtain a military education at West Point would do well to procure this book and read it carefully before making his final decision, as it will show him in advance what will be expected of him, and what he must expect from others.
