The Girls' Journal, Parts I. and IL

The " boys" have for some time past had a maga-
zine of their own, and now a new periodical makes
its appearance for the benefit of the "girls." The
contents appear to resemble the Family Herald and
the Lady's Newspaper, without possessing the par-
ticular merits of either. Tao " patterns" given
may be very acceptable for the work-table, and the
novelettes may wile away a passing hour, but we
could wish for the leisure hours of the girls of Eng-
land a more profitable employment. Instead of
imitating the sensational effects now so much
admired by older novel writere, the projectors of
this new journal should endeavour to grace its pages
with simple tales of sterling merit, such as the
writings of Maria Edgeworth and Mary Russet
Mitfterd. A reprint of some of those deservedly
popular works, with original stories of a similar
character, such as Miss Ty tler or the author of the
" Heir of Redelyffe" might contribute, would render
the Girls' Journal a valuable and enduring publi-
cation.

PRAED'S POETICAL WORKS will be published by
Messrs. Moxon and Co., in two volumes, the first week in
July, Ludy Young, the poet's sister, contributes a series
of poems written in early life, for the most part
i unpub-
lished. Mr Preed's nephew, Sir George Young, s revis-
ing the text ; and a memoir of the poet will be supplied by
the Rev. Derwent Coleridge.
REBOUL, POkT AND BAKER.—M. Itebotll, ti!
Ntsrnes, died on the 29,11 May, in bis native town,
atter long and painful suErings. lle was born in :796, cod
condoned to furnish his fellow townsmen with fresh rolls
all his life, although his poems had been received so
favourably. The first collection of his " appeared
in 1836, introduced by Lareartine and A. Dumas, Lamar-
tine's muse has evidently strongly idiu,,nced Reboul s
genius, which was not o! power sutliwent ever to take quite
an original footing. In 1616, a second collection followed.
In 1848, Reboul was member of the Assembles Consti-
tuante, for the Gard department. The town of Nismes has
honoured its poet by a princely funeral, at which the Maire,
the Protect, till the higher officials of the department Gard,
numerous officers of the army, the bishop. and all the
clergy assisted, accompanied by a vast crowd of people.
After three different addresses, a poem in Provencal dialect
was delivered at the grave. The town is about to erect a
niausoletim to his memory.
PATRIOTIC AMERICAN LADIES.—A recent letter
from Indianapolis says :—" Toe ladies of Indiana-
polis have energAically entered upon the work of recruiting.
Seven hundred of them, under their own names, in the
public pints, volunteer to take the places in business of as
many men who will go to the war. This is more than the
city's quota under the last call."
