NOTE. 



Nearly all the papers in this collection have 

 appeared from time to time in various periodicals of 

 the country, and I acknowledge with pleasure the 

 uniform courtesy of editors and publishers in permit- 

 ting me to reprint. It is but right to say that in 

 revising these papers I have added many new obser- 

 vations. The following is a list of the periodicals in 

 which one or more of the articles have been printed : 

 Outing^ JBelford^s Magazine^ The Congregationalist^ 

 The Advance^ The Interior^ Golden Ride^ The Illus- 

 trated Christian Weekly, The Churchman^ Youth''s 

 Companion^ Young People's Weekly and Morning 

 Star. The Author.
