A BOOK on “Questionable Amusements and Worthy Substitutes” is timely to-day. Such a grouping of subject matter is in itself a commendation. Possibly we have been saying “Don't” quite enough without offering the positive substitute. The “expulsive power of a new affection” is, after all, the mightiest agency in reform. “Thou shalt not” is quite easy to say; but though the house be emptied, swept, and garnished, unless pure angels hasten to occupy the vacated chambers, other spirits worse than the first will soon rush in to befoul them again.
