( Good Words has now a recognised place among a the monthly herials, and moreover that place is in hi The number before us is as usual pleasantly varied, and has something for the taste of all kinds of readers. We have first the continua tion of Dr. Guthrie's essays on n.r.l-0,-. for for speculation to those who like sh. struse subjects. Attar many fdeas ars . sidered it is sa i d in conclusion that accordingoah to Plato's notion expounded by Wordsworth, the intellectual condition of the baby is superior to that of the philosopher, for ho has quitted a higher world. " That solemn, silent baby in his nurse's arms, looking at this world with calm abstracted eyes, is perhaps resisting our endeavours to make him " `Forget the glories he bath known And that Imperial pal. ce whence he came.' " Maladetta" is the titlo of kome glow's) verses that point a tvi atning to the giddy and reckless votaries of sin. It is a solemn thought that for every flaunt ing outcast from virtue there are mourning hearts in some lonely solitude, and anguished spirits to testify to their cru.l fall. "Homesick" is a melan choly poem that truthfully and touchingly tells of an exile dying in a foreign land, He is apostro phising a friend, and speaking of his distant home, and the simple joys that he did not prizo enough when he possessed them. Finally, he says— " They will write when harvest is ended, when nights are long and cool, And beside the blazing faggots they reckon the weeks to Yule, When the golden sheaves are garnered, and the busy time is sped ; But when the harvest is ended I shall be lying dead. I know where you will lay me, up on the sun-bleached height, Beside the rusty beacon, where jackals prowl at night. Oh, it I might rest me in the churchyard green and lone, Where the neighbours' little children would come and play on the stone I You will go back to England before your youth is past, You will see the sheltered valley where their happy lot is cast : Then bless them all from me Ned, and kiss my mother and Nell, And bid them think of me kindly, for in truth I loved them well. And the pleasant English valleys, and the lanes so green and cool, The mossy well and the gateway, the trees beside the pool— All the dear old places that I shall never see, Oh, greet them all and bless them a thousand times from me The St. James's Magazine. Tho story of Aubrey Marston is continued in this number, and leaves the hero in a somewhat invidious position. He seems to be very unfit to cope with the schemers who surround him. The author of " Whitefriars," also proceeds with the tale of " Madeline Graham," in her usual graphic fashion, at considerable length. The attractions of the magazine are not, however, restricted to fiction, for we have several interesting papers founded on fact. Two fair French ladies of singular fortune, and celebrated attractions, are memorialised. "Our Lady of Thermidor," is the title of a paper which recounts the varied adventures of the beautiful Ma dame Tallien, to whom many a despairing captive owed his life in the dark days of the Reign of Terror. The fourth number of " Royal Favourites" tells the mournful story of Gabrielle d'Estrees, the fascinating inamorata of Henry the Fourth of France. Another article devoted to the fair sex is founded on Mr. Woodhead's pleasant volumes on Christina of Sweden. " English Journalism in France" is an interesting narrative of the difficul ties attending the Fourth Estate among our Con tinental neighbours. The lovers of horrors will be well supplied when they have perused " A Tiger Story," and " My American Wolfhound"—the former containing a warning to all amateur Van Amburghs, and the latter relating a dismal episode of a backwoodsman's experience. There are several short poems, of which " False Love," by King wood Clare, is the best. London Society. This magazine has a full right to devote itself to the hours of relaxation. It is always sprightly and entertaining, plentifully illustrated, and amusingly written. We must in loyalty first notice the pic torial embellishments, since the frontispiece gives us a very charming portrait of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales in her bridal dress, and we find at the end of the number some graceful tran scripts of the triumphs of Danish embroidery which have adorned her trousseau. A faitlaful history of the events of Easter Monday on Brighton Downs is given with several illustrations—the author and artist bearing the suspiciously appropriate names of Jack Easel, and F. Skill. "London Society in a Flat" gives a very humorous account of the troubles of a hapless matron who rashly lodged herself and her three boys over the heads of testy bachelors, artists of unsettled habits, and companies whose secretaries and attendants shrunk into thin air, leaving the much enduring "third pair " to open the door to their errands. A fine portrait of Wm. Mulready, the eminent painter, is prefixed to an in teresting sketch of his career. "A Word for the Dogs" has some very sensible observations on dog shows, which we should advise all intending exhi bitors to read before sending their canine friends on such an expedition. "About Flowers and their Fashions--Old and New," is a pleasant paper on a pleasant subject. The illustration by Noel Hum phreys is graceful enough to bring the pretty fender basket into immediate fashion. University boat races seem in high favour with the editor, for they reappear in no less than three forms. We have a clever parody on Macaulay's " Ivry," lamenting the victory of Oxford in the twentieth encounter of oars between the universities; a Cambridge story entitled " Why our boat did not make its Bump," and a general article on the subject of University races in general, " The Heiress of Ellington" is brought to a happy termination of her troubles, and " The Londoner's Spring" receives a grateful tribute. le o eo, q ß ll a e r n . tly "John gteh i e s alisdt co ntinued eaaanaoibtnhl seattt pt an peer some length, and in this instalment some exciting events are introduced.

It is a curious thing to notice that in two stories in this magazine a railway acci isa d t o h r e h m e h d u o s n h t o i a : dent is brought in at the conclusion. The sensa tion style of romance is so similar in its events that there is no occasion for a riters to be so indignant at the supposition of their startling incidents being copied. The fact is, all the tragic circumstances of daily life are pressed into the service of these con cocters of the horrible and terrible; hence, as there are so many writers of the same class, they must need come in contact sometimes. " A Japanned Article" and "Trial by Jury" are noticeable among the remaining contents of this periodical.

IRD S. SMITIT, Secretary. THE MAGAZINES, Blackwood's Magazine. "Wilson's Prehistoric Man" is the first subject considered. It states that this book applies to the unhistoric or speechless people, " a considerable part of Mr. Wilson's book is devoted to the considera tion of those ancient remains whether in the valley of the Mississippi or in the forests of Central Ame rica, which speaks of a civilisation, or at least of cities that had existed end left their ruins behind them, anterior to what we call the discovery of the New World." This is a very readable article, and enters at some length into this abstruse question ; at the commencement of it the writer states his conviction that scientific and religious truth are inextricably combined. Such is the correct view of the matter, and the more deeply the wonders of the earth are explored the greater should be the appreciation of its Creator. It has truly been written of the endless variety of creation— " He painted the ephemera's wings Who set the stars in motion, He formed Heaven's great and glorious things, Who poured the drops of ocean." " Caxtoniana" is continued, and this time treats of " Certain Principles of Art in Works of Imagina tion." This will doubtless prove interesting, since the writer is discoursing on kindred stihj( cts. In criticising the best and most enduring forms in which to represent ideal characters so as to per sonify the real—it is truly said that generalities are the most successful. This is evidenced in Homer's heroes who " are so remarkably the types of large and enduring generalities in human character, that in spite of all changes of time and manners we still classify and designate individuals under those antique names." Also it is cited as an instance that the greatest novelist of Europe, Gil Blas, succeeds in those characters that are types and not portraits. Finally, great stress is laid on the importance and originality to constitute a work of genius. "The Life of General Sir Howard Douglas" treats of some volumes that have lately appeared on the life of that distinguished man. In this criticism the highest character is given to him, and it is said that, if cir cumstances had permitted him to direct the move ment of troops in the field, he would have attained a high rank, but that, as it was, he did more for the British army, and navy, too, than either of the heads of either service had the grace to acknow ledge. After the interesting summary here given of his career, the reader who glances at these pages will coincide with the sentiment of the last pas sage—" Rest to his noble spirit; it will be long before we loos upon his like again." A most pleas ing paper is that on " Ludwig Uhland." He is de scribed as the Laureate of Germany after the death of Goethe. It is said that he has much in common with Sir 'Walter Scott, having done for Germany what even Schiller and Goethe never effected— namely, " immortalised her local recollections." Some translations of his chief poems are here given, which are some of them admirably done, and seem to represent the true spirit of the author as well as can be expected through the medium of a foreign tongue. In mentioning the chief circumstances of his career, it is said that he was buried as he had lived, in privacy, but that probably he would not have wished it otherwise. "No doubt he was, as far as the honours that proceed from the great are concerned, to the end of his life an unacknowleged and unappreciated man, but he had all he wanted —robust health, self-respect, and the respect of those he loved, sufficient worldly means, and that sublime gift which Homer himself thought a full com pensation even for blindness." This little sketch is most interesting, and fully worthy of the subject of which it treaty. Few men are more deserving of regard and contemplation than they who are appro priately styled "the honoured of ages, the masters of song." "My Investment in the Far West" is a most amusing little narrative, that relates the extra ordinary adventures of a man who was well and wished to do better. It is improbable that he should have succeeded in extricating himself from his embarrassment in so fortuitous a style as is here represented. The mixture of scorn and ridicule that he met with from the Yankees when they understood his mission to the Far West, is very entertainingly described. "The Landscape of Ancient Italy," as delineated in the Pompeian paintings, is also a paper worthy of notice in its way. It refers to a work by the Danish botanist Joachim Frederic Schorun on the plants of Pompeii. In order to ascertain the plants known to the Pom. peians, Schorun remarks that two means are open to us —the pictures in the ruins, and the remnants of the plants themselves. The following conclusion may be safely deduced, that the stone pine and the cypress were then as now the trees that gave the Neapolitan landscape its character. In mentioning the disappearance of some of those introduced in old times, the oriental plane is enumerated. The Romans were greatly devoted to this tree. Persian monarchs and Grecian heroes were equally attached to it, " as it is now the glory of Ispahan and Shiraz, so it was of the Greek cities of yore, the groves of the Academe and Lyceum were composed of it." This is rather an unusual article, but it is rather refreshing in its novelty, and the chronicles of those ruined cities draw always something new and interesting in their study. Some instructive fol,looui , cwnldg a suggestion modern really disse rtation is met w i t h on the fallacy of the for mulas of p os i t i v i sm, in which we meet with the wehsaet eagerness many a af visitor fancy; could Po mpeii has s t r i ven to do in could he rester., those truncated col d intn columns and repe o pl eth ose desolate st reets, and actuallyjuconver i se with some cultivated contemporary o f Pliny and one can fan c y t h at the feeling on b , ot o h r Cisidcero a es, after the Hora first strangeness of te m eeting had been got over, would of surprise, that h two s p eci mens of hu manity of such distant origin could have so much in common." In pursuance of this them e , it is stated that if any one now woke up under the shadow of Winchester or Canterbury Cathedrals, and discoursed with the best men of the Saxon times, he would find no congeniality and very little reciprocity in ideas. This is accounted for by the fact that those were generations of decline and not of advance. With a glowing tribute to the advantages of classical cul- Fraser's Magazine.

Those who have hitherto shrunk from its supposed perplexities will, under the guidance of Mr. Price, be enabled to unravel the mystery. Miss Cobbe, the spirited and intelligent lady, who, like Miss Gushington, of romantic celebrity, has started on a solitary Eastern excursion, is now tore, this entertainin g paper terminates. "Ameri can State Papers" furnish the material for one of those smart arti c l es t h at often distingui.li this ina gezine. The most is made of the subject, and car tuinly it is a very suggestive one. Several of Mr. Seward's "impudent" phrases are commented on; among others, his saying " that it has been only European sympathies and European aid that have enabled our disloyal citizens to prolong the civil war." Mr. Motley's observations are alto referred to, and due notice is taken of his annotations on British matters. He was very angry at Mr. Glad stone's speech at Newcastle, and expressed a hope that that statesman's tongue might be blistered. This is very elegant phraseology certainly, and makes one wonder where some people are going to stop. It is truly said in conclusion that we might well laugh, but unfortunately the grotesque display has its terrible side, and incapacity and conceit only increase the tremendous power of mischief that is wielded by the characters in the burlesque. " The Budget" is the politioal paper, and satirises the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and states that he has adopted some of the recommendations of the Opposition without having thegrace to acknowledge them. After allowing that this new Budget is less ingenious and hazardous than some of its prede cessors, it is said that the danger that menaces Mr. Gladstone's arrangements is that there will be a deficit in the years 1864-45 of £200,000. In a word, he is dispensing with a real surplus and re signing himself to a past deficit. The abandon ment of the Paper Duties has rendered our present financial position one of no ordinary embarrass ment. Finally, it is said that the peace of Europe does not rest on very safe foundations; if exceptional expenditure occur how are we to meet it. We cannot re-impose the Paper and Tea Duties, and the articles in the French Treaty are irrevocably fined as they are. Hence it is argued that— " A large increase of the income tax, and an issue of Ex chequer bonds, are the only means by which we can hope to make head against an emergency. The surplus is merely nominal—the balances in the Exchequer cannot be further reduced—and even the issue of Exchequer bonds can be re sorted to only to a small extent, in consequence of Mr Gladstone's repeated postponement of paying off, as they fell due, the amounts already in circulation. Over the term of Mr. Gladstone's present financial administration, as over his previous one, the country will yet have to write the words, so damnatory of the reputation of a statesman, Improvidus futuri.

The first article met with is sure to be a welcome one with all readers, for it is entitled "The Land of the Princess, the Isles of Denmark and their People." It is truly stated at the outset that, whatever may happen, we are not yet flooded by the results of re cent travels in the country that has given birth to the princes s w h om we all, however differin g among ourselves, have unanimously resolved to love and honour. A most agreeable sketch is given of the Isles of Denmark, and certainly a more attractive subject, just at present, could not have been fixed upon. " The Great Essayist of France" next en gages our attention. First we are introduced to Montaigne Pere, and then to Montaigne Fils. This sketch is entertainingly written, and furnishes us with a good general idea of its subject, " Bella Donna, or the Cross before the Name," is continued at some length. It is a romantic tale, but not one of any special interest. " Catullus," Part 1., is an instructive essay. It is mentioned that his life was passed almost wholly unrecorded by biography. Great pains have been taken to impress the reader with a correct idea of this notability of antiquity, and the result is favourable on the whole. It is mentioned, in treating of his works, that " in no other Roman poetry, not even excepting Virgil, do we find such charming original images, and so facile and exquisite a gift for producing musical effects in language, as in that of Catullus." " Sterne and his Day" is conti nue d , b ut does not yet approach com mpleentit, on on. I t ir he ele t ahvr e eshold o him, at f thes new career.

The concludi ng pas sage, tho ug h, most descriptive, is exaggerated, as will be seen from this instance, viz., " It is curious to contrast Heine's poetry of affec tion and sorrow, so full of misanthropy and de spair, so startling in its o c c as i ona l depth and brief throu g h gr i ef and scepticism, dramatic intensity, with th at of the larger poet conte mplation, an d ascending tr s ha o ei u s soul, raises ah universeo e , ryb strugglingsinovi esthe conquered years—embraces above the regions of knowl e d ge, folds its wings in fond assurance in the sph ere of faith and love, where the personified Heart of Deity re i gns to save and to restore.

Our Answer to Professor Cairns, on Slavery and Secession," is a sensible paper on an important topic. It satirises the inconsistencies of the work, and is altogether a smart sketch worth y of perusal. " The Earlier otrfacthtieveGteoneva R e p u b l i c " can hardly fail to Heroesro attractive those who d e li g h t to fol low the fortunes of the remarkabl e nen of that period. It is forcibly said that "no one can read the early story of the Geneva struggle without ad miring the disinterestedness, ga ll antry, and devo tion of the patriots whose resi s t ance to foreign in trusiontaught them to appre ciate ki nd which they were also destined to hold fo r th as an example for an a e n m d a d n o e m i p e a s t t i i o c n t y o r f a a n n y nations still enchained and depressed." " Pass we by the presence chamber and other state rooms, and let us enter the long gallery erected by Cardinal Pole—a noble room, lighted by windows enriched by stained glass. Hence we will proceed to the chapel erected by Boni face. Lighted by three lancet-windows on either aide, and divided by an elaborately carved screen, on the inner side of which is the archiepiscopal stall, this chapel retains but little of its pristine character, and is dis figured by a fiat panelled ceiling, added by Archbishop Laud. "Attached to the palace are a park and gardens of consi derable extent, and in the olden time of great beauty. Within the gardens, up to the commencement of the pre sent century, grew two singularly fine fig trees, planted by Cardinal Pole, and trained against that part of the palace which he erected. "Lambeth Palace came into Pole's hands in a very habit able condition, having been well kept up by his prede cess •r, Cranmer. So well pleased was the Cardinal with the mansion, that he not only embellished it in many ways, but enlarged it, as we have previously mentioned. He also took great delight in the gat dens, and laid them out in the Italian style. " Unostentatious of character, and simple in his tastes and habits, Pole felt it due to his elevated position to main tain princely state in the residence assigned to him by their Majesties, and employ his large revenues in hospitality and charity. When complete, which it was within a month after his occupation of the palace, Pole's householi: was as numerous and magnificent as Wolsey's, and comprised a high chamberlain and vice-chamberlain, twelve gentlemen ushers, steward, treasurer, comptroller, cofferer, three mar shals, two grooms, and an almoner. In his chapel he had a dean, a sub-dean, twelve singing priests, and the like number of quiristers. Besides these there were his cross bearers, his pillar bearers, and two yeomen to bear his poleaxes. The inferior officers were almost too numerous to particularise, comprehending purveyors, cooks, sewers, cup bearers, yeomen of the larder, of the buttery, of the ewery, the cellar, the laundry, the bakehouse, the ward robe, the chandry, the wood yard, and the garden. Of gar.. deners, indeed, there were several, Besides these, there were a multitude of pages and grooms, a sumpter man, a muleteer, and sixteen grooms of the stable, each of whom had four horses. Then there were tall porters at the gate, yeomen of the chariot, and yeomen of the barge. Nor were these all. In addition to those previously enume rated, there were a physician, two chaplains, and two secretaries." A Crimean officer contributes a paper on the " In vasion of the Crimea," founded on Mr. Kinglake's recent work, which has renewed all the old discus sions and associations of that troubled time. Monkshood has an essay, which is as usual well worth reading. His subject this month is the loneliness of great cities and the opportunities for privacy offered by the crowded streets and thorough fares of London. Alluding to Hawthorne's story of the man who, in pursuance of some unreasonable whim, took lodgings in the street next to his own house without letting his family know of his where abouts, and who resided there twenty years with out being detected, Monkshood says that London is the one city in which such an incident is possible, A paper on "The Bois de Boulogne" tells us that the Bois in its present condition is the creation of Napoleon 111. When Louis XVIII. restored it, after the occupation of Paris by the allied armies, he retained the old form of straight alleys at right angles, but the present Emperor has transformed it into an English park. When the design is fully completed, the Bois de Boulogne, says the writer of this article, will leave far be hind it the parks of all other capitals. Frederick Marshall contributes an amusing paper on false hair, which gives us some curious statistics of the trade in that commodity. The story of " Modern Marriages a la Mode "is continued in a melancholy fashion, and relates the death of the malign s e t, d Emily.

Secretary of State for War. A vast amount of information is afforded by this paper on the whole. We meet with some " Re marks on Military Law," which advert to various facts. Great stress is laid on the importance of young officers duly considering the importance of the duties that devolve upon them, and an instance is quoted in which, at a court-martial, a junior member calmly replied " dedth," in answer to what form of punishment the cffendcr of some trivial offence was to undergo. On being questioned afterwards as to the meaning of his extraordinary conduct, he replied that be bad looked at the Articles of War, and seen "Death, or such other punishment as a court-martial shall award," and so had said the word without thinking of it. Some observations are made on corporal punishment, and it is very properly said that it ought to be restricted to offences of a disgraceful nature. Some very useful hints are given as to the expediency of de cision in trying moments of emergency, and an example is adduced of what once occurred to the writer of these remarks when blockaded in Sebas tian by the Carlists. The English artillerymen were discontented in consequence of not having been paid, and one night refused to move from their private pareede until they got their pay. The writer hastened to them, and first explaining that he would guarant ee their payment, but they must not disgrace the British name, he added — "Now, my men, I have told you how the matter is, I shall order you to face to the, right and march off with your officers, who will now fall in with drawn swords; and, so help me God I as sure as I stand here, if you don't move at command I will shoot the right hand man, and run the next through with my sword on the instant; I hereby re quire the subalterns to do the same,each to his subdivision," and (cocking his pistol), gave the word, 'tight, face, quick march I" They all moved off like clockwork. The writer went with them and remained all night on the Curtain, and never heard any more grumbling. On the contrary, they said, that is a good officer and the man to see his soldiers righted —a real soldier's friend I' He could always trust them in the greatest difficulties from that day for ward; and, as Herodotus says, 'no* I have done speaking of Military Law.' " " Greenwich Characters" is a very amusing paper, and brings in'a description of some characteristic seamen. " A Month on the Overland Route" is a very readable article. It is descriptive of the part of the route across the Isthmus of Suez, in which the writer gives an entertaining account of a visit to the Pyramids, In "The British Soldier" we meet with noticeable arguments. The absurd plan of paying the soldiers is commented upon, and it is shown how much trouble and expense might be saved as well as discontent avoided by paying them a smaller sum and giving them their rations gratis. This paper may be recommended to the notice of the authorities, and they must derive information, useful hints, and wise suggestions fram its perusal. Few subjects are more important than the right organisation of the army departments. This num ber of the " United Service" offers, on the whole, a very fair share of information. Bentley's Miscellany. The prominent feature in Bentley is of course its editor's romance. This instalment is full of start ling changes, and Constance Tyrrell's flight from the Palace, her concealment by Osbert, her detec tion by the King, and her imprisonment in Lam beth Palace, follow each other in quick succession. We cite the following passage from Mr. Ainsworth's elaborate description of the Cardinal's splendid house : "The present vast and irregular pile, known as Lambeth Palace, was preceded by a much smaller mansion, wherein the Archbishops of Canterbury were lodged, and to which a chapel was attached. This building was pulled down in 1262 by the turbulent Archbishop Boniface, and a new and more important structure erected in its place, Of Boni face's palace little now remains save the chapel and crypt. So many additions were made to the palace by successive arc hbishops, and so much was it altered, that it may al most be said to have become another structure. A noble hall, subsequently destroyed in the time of the Common wealth, was built by Archbishop Chichely, who flourished in the reign of Edward IV. ; while the chief ornament of the existing pile, the gateway, was reared by Cardinal Archbishop Morton, towards the end of the fifteenth century. The Steward's Parlour, a chamber of large dimensions, was added by Cranmer, and a long gallery and other buildings were erected by Cardinal Pole. "Before entering the palace let us pause to examine the gateway, a structure of almost unrivalled beauty, and con sisting of two large square towers, built of fine brick, em battled, and edged with stone. The archway is pointed, and has a groined roof springing from four pillars, one in each corner. Spiral stone staircases lead to the upper chambers, and from the leads of the roof a wonderful pros pect of the surrounding mttxopolis is obtained. Connected with the porter's lodge is a smart priteln chamber, hav;ng a double door, and high, narrow grated windo*s. .The walls are cased with stone, and of prodigious thick ness, while three heavy iron rings fixed in them attest the purpose to which the room was formerly applied. " Passing through the principal court, we enter the great hall, rebuilt by Archbishop Juxon on the ex act model of the old hall, demolished during the Protectorate, so that it may be considered a counterpart of Archbishop Chichely's banqueting chamber. Nearly a hniaired feet in length ; proportionately wide and lofty, this noble room has a su perb pendant timber roof, enriched with elaborate carv ings, and lighted by a louvre. In the great bay window, amidst the relics of stained glass, recovered from the origi nal hall, may be discerned the arms of Philip of Spain, painted by order of Cardinal Pole. At the present day the hall is used as the palace library, and its space is somewhat encroached upon by projecting bookcases, filled with works of divinity. At the upper end is the Arch bishop's seat. " From the great hall we may proceed to the gallery and guard chamber, the latter of which was once used as the armoury of the palace. It has an ancient roof, with pen dants, pointed arches, and pierced squandrels. Here are portraits of many of the Archbishops of Canterbury, among which may be seen that of Cardinal Pole, copied from the original by Raphaelle, preserved in the Barteiini Palace a Rome. Macmillan's Magazine. There are several things in Macmillan that are well worth reading. It opens, of course, with the interminable story of " Vincenzo, or Sunken Rocks," which is followed by a paper on the physicians and surgeons of the last generation, containing a num• byr of interesting anecdotes. " History and its Scientific Pretensions" are carefully considered by Mr. Thornton ; and we meet with a pleasant essay ,ontitled " Rariora of Old Poetry," which gives us a good deal of curious and recondite information respecting the laws of rhyme and metre in olden days. The author is evidently an experienced philologist, and his citations from old Saxon, Norse, Icelandic, and Welsh verse illustrate his rimming very strikingly. The science of language occupies a prominent position in this part, for a member of the Philological Society contributes an article on Babel, in which he descants learnedly on the ex traordinary variations of speech that continually occur among neighbouring peoples. The dan gerous absurdities of the mediums are dis cussed by Mr. Edward Dicey, who is half inclined to be a cor.vert to spiritualism. "Neapolitan Prisons, Past and Present," form the topic of a paper by a visitor to their gloomy precincts, and the number concludes with a very excellent article on " Servia and the Mussulmans." Cornhill Magazine. " The Small House at Allington " is much more exciting in this number. Crosbie prover himself the villain that he is, and his friends are ashamed of him. It is a good scene in which he is telling his friend at the club of his transactions and Lily's uncle arrives. In the next instalment we shall pro bably have the painful scene of Lily's ecclaireisse ment. " Chess "is a very entertaining sketch, and all who admire that noble game will be much edified with its perusal. The following passage will ex emplify the tastes of the writer : " In fact there is nothing in the way of amusement about which people throw into the sea such mines of pleasure as this same game of chess. It possesses all qualities that are good, and none at all that are bad. It even combines fascinations of opposite kinds, a quality entirely special to itself; for it is peaceful, and at the same time warlike; it is light, and yet profound ; it is manly, and yet womanly; you can play it by daylight, and you can play it by lamp light ; you can play it in the house, you can play it on the lawn, you can play it in a railway carriage, you can play it with board and men, and you can play it without either. It costs nothing, it is reputable, it is dignified, and it tbe comes all classes and all ages of life. And it has a wealth that no other game can even approach. Its changes,lef.ajnetort literally endless, are at any rate past counting. Their beauty is like Cleopatra's— " 'Age cannot wither it, nor cu stom stale Its infinite variety.'" but does not " Romola " drags on its weary l e n gth, as y minster Abbey " is a very et. 4, W est _ eem approaching its termin ation i p r essive sketch of the it is worthy of its it adopts —it is said that which t ra to rn ; great u heroes, s sugg e sted t h e tongue of praise need no longetrbaet still.hsfilue je hasercaal;) Aft e r oiaqnsfd steShdie enumerating ahnme thees the various groups that stood is that that of the Westminster boys. i stoo d round the bier, the last division mentioned suc h a ceremony as they witnessed that day, of the last great national honour paid to the to might was go and a powerful inc en ti ve d d y ea , to their minds do likewise i vocations.

" Revelations of Prison Life" is a readable paper, and certainly the light of day is needed in these abodes to disclose, not the deeds of darkness, but of mistaken kindness and ill judged lenity. It is said that many new " dodges" are in vented in prison,..and that what college i s to the student the prison is to the thief.
