MAGAZINE-DAY,

BLACKWOOD.—" Tony
Butler" possesses more
exciting incidents in its present instalment than
have heretofore been met with. Mr. SkaEngton
Kamer is quite the hero of this portion, and his
careless flow of spirits, his ne;r:r.ending
and perfect good-humour is rather a relief after the
somewhat lugubrious style of " ony," who is of a melan-
choly cast, and always prone to think the worst of things.
Alice is again mixed up with her flirtations, and does not
shine in that capacity, There is a variety of description in
this story that renders it very readable, and it is almost cer-
tain to attract attention. "The Life of it'ir Williatn Nepier"
is one of the most interesting articles here art with. The
distinguished man meets with due coasideration in this
able criticism, and it will doubtless prove agreeable to many
to wander back into the
past, and retrace 8011i0 of the
stirring scenes in which this departed worthy figured, and
which he afterwards chronicled to such good effect. One
of the most noticeable points in his career was that he was
self-educated. He is a striking proof of the value of perse-
verance, and an evidence that precocious children are not
those that turn out the most brilliant scholars in after-life.
He made himself a proficient in many languages, adding
thereto the study of the literature of the country. Bis
whale career, as here epitomised, is a truthful and a touch-
ing one. Ile seems to have struggled valiantly,toilcd sedu-
lously, and laboured efficiently in many paths, and at last
to hare endured a melancholy old age, amid much
suffering and great leases, t The last passage of
this criticism well sums up t .sithject in the follow-
ing elpressive words :—" Wo
this side of the graVe, wherefore il tam apt7may well
rest in his, with so much recorded Concerning him, that in
spite of some bletafahes Overshadowed by a thousand ad-
mirable qualities, he was a noble kftattre, of whom, as a
soldier, an author, and a man, his counts had just reason
to be proud," "Chronicles of Carlingfora" in Lila twelfth
part apparently brings us very near to the conclusion or
the fitful tale. As might be supposed, the Curate is suc-
cessfully brought through his trial. IL certainly does not
meet with much encouragement from his relations and
friends or courtesy from his enemies. The episode of Miss
Nitodehouseis engagement is an amusing change to all the
serious and solemn events that ate conatantly taking place
in this narrative. Like many in real life, Nies Wentworth,
though brusque and impracticable in everyday concerns,
comes out in agreeable cntrast
in times of great emer-
gencies, and appears willing to help the unfortunate and
assist those perplexed by cruel dilemmas. Mr Morgan's
confusion is well described when he finds that his prejudice
has made him ridiculous and unjust; but his pity for him-
self outweighs his sorrow for having injured his fellow-
minister by his harsh and hasty measures, "The fublic
Schools' Report" contains a great deal of useful informa-
tion on topics with which it is desirable to become ac-
quainted with, yet of which many are ignorant. It is
entertaining to note the curious replies which are sometimes
given to awkward queries, and to mark the sweeping
changes of modern times pass over institutions that seemed
at one tine impervious to all alteration. "Eton" is the
public school here referred to, and a very fair estimate
is given of its character on the whole. The
writer mentions some desirable changes that might be made
in some respects, but it is no proof of want of interest to
advocate the adoption of the remedial measures that the
change of Hama may have rendered necessary, One very
true observation is here made, that there is hardly any
foundation for the many assertions we constantly hear of
relating to physical perfection in athletic spurts being com-
bined with mental proficiency in sterner labours. Such
combinations of powers are rare—the gifts of Heaven are
distributed more evenly. It follows as a natural sequence
that to distinguish himself conspicuously in any pursuit a
boy must make it his almost exclusive occupation, and the
fatigues attendant on either post of honour, as Head of the
School or Captain of the Eleven, debars and unfits him from
time or attention to the other sphere of excellence or depart-
ment of competition. "Cornelius O'Dowd upon Men and
Women and other Things in General" is continued in the
bantering style of old, and also we meet with the same racy
descriptions and satirical allusions to passing events, "A
Masterly Inactivity" aptly designates the present awkward
position of England in respect to foreign affairs. "The
Crisis of Parties" is the last article met with, and treats of
the perplexing state of things at present in a moderate tore.
An opinion is expressed that e period his nearly arrived
to the monotony of this a: poet of t'ffaire—" A crisis of parties
is taking place at hem?, a eras in the. tray is iminin,nt
abroad. The sesaiou of Parliament is far adfgtoed, and it
has been wholly wasted, but it is not likely to terminate
without the occurrence of events which will make it memo-
rable in our annals."

enters very fully into the sabj, c', and concludes by
stating that "the present 41stern cannot last."
" Mary" is the title of some very melancholy Cm"
that allude to bygone days and depict vanished
scenes of pleasure. They are written in a pleasing style,
with a flowing melody that attracts and interests. "Mil-
ton's Minor Poems" come under notice. There is always
something worthy of attention in the early efforts of those
whose achievements in the fullness of time have shown out
conspicuous among the literature of their age, and will last
while the language in which they are written lives. The
"vital signs" always discoverable in Miltor.'s style are
found even in the earliest of his compositions. It is here
truly said that there is cause for regret that the great poet did
not present us with more of the im Iginings of his youth,
fresh with so vivid a lustre and stored with such enchanting
illustrations. " Something of a seraphic spirit animates his
boyhood and early manhood," we me told, and that account
accords well with the after life of him who was inspired to
catch glimpses of—.

great genius who was placed
in strange times, and is evidently impressed with the spirit
of his age. The mention here made of his works shows
that he promises considerable powers of description, and
the extract taken from his description of the French
blockade is a very impressive one. The spirit of national
hatred must have been strong, when starving and
naked crowds burned and destroyed the "treasures
of the two hemispheres ~
because an English pre-
judice made them establish a blockade. " Yaxley and
its Neighbourhood" is continued. Everything goes at
cross purposes in this instalment, and Lizette is afresh
doomed to disappointment. The character of Mrs Pittner
is very well sketched in her crafty waneeuvres and dark
schemes. " Baden Vanity Fair" is a very clever account,
which is sure to win attention and admiration.
FRASEIL—Fraser opens with an article on Public
Schools, founded on the report of the Commission
on the
our great
schools, more especially referring to Eton, Theesuboj
r government which enters very fully into the
principles overnment existing in
paper is well worth reading, and the author pro-
mises at a future time to discuss the questions of extending
the study of the sciences, and of modern languages, in
public schools. " Indian Dorado and Hospitale" is the
title of a paper which treats of a subject whose importance
is too apt to be overlooked amid the crowd of ptessittg and
exciting interests. Years ago the condition of our Indian
barracks aroused the fervent indignation of Sir Charles
Napier. No wonder, when he saw his brave soldiers
quartered in places more deadly than the hottest conflict
with the Sikhs, that the great General, whose care for his
men was one of the brightest laurels of his wreath, should
passionately exclaim, ,4 Wald to God that Parliament had
the returns of the regiments quartered in these Ca'aba
barracks from the year 1800, and of the British soldiers
killed by them I" Even now, when Parliament and the
public have before them the startling fact that 60 per
thousand of our troops in India periab annually, the inac •
tion or indifference is something surprising. The rev:la-
tions of the Sanitary Commission, the strictures of Miss
Nightingale, the wise and kindly friend of the soldier ; the
loss of a company out of every regiment every 20 months,
all fail to awake the official mind from its supine routine.
It is sufficiently mortifying to find that the evils of which
the great conqueror of Seinde coinpl,ined so bitterly are
still the active destroyers of our army, but it is more so to
find that so little is doing towards their remedy, Surely
we must not bear the national sin and disgrace of counte•
nancing such wholesale murder, when we can no longer
plead ignorance as our excuse. "The Campaigner at
' Home" discourses upon various matters pleasantly enough,
and the writer of the lively and fascinating picture of
"French Life" continues her narrative. In a survey of
the results of " Three Years' War in America," the writer
observes " we may well draw some lessons of modesty in
our prophecies, and moderation in our political theories,
from the great events enacted for three years past within
the borders of the once United States." The story of
"Gilbert Rugge" is proceeded with, and promises interest.
