MAGAZINES.-CONTINUED.

THE ANALYST.

The best essay in the Number before us, is that on
" Elevating the Profession of the Educator," in which
some useful suggestions arc put forth, in a spirit of ear-
nestness that impresses them on the reader's mind. The
remarks on Ushers have truth and point to recommend
them. " The Monk" is a tale not devoid of exciting
iccident, but it is much too long. It should have been
abridged at least one half.

MONTHLY CHRONICLE.

There is a very useful, practical article in this
Number under the title of the " Thames Steamers
and the Waterman," in which the case between the
rival parties is fully and impartially stated. The watert
men, says the writer, have lost some of their perqui-
sites of office, but they still retain many valuable ones,
and may long continue to retain them, provided they
will practise the very available accomplishment of civi-
lity. " George Sand" is an acute and spirited analysis
of the works of Madame Aurora Dupin, one of the
moat remarkable writers of young France. In the
course of this analysis occurs an observation which we
quote for its just and elevated character : " It is not
good to prostrate oneself lazily and blindly before the
grandeur of intelligence, and to make a vow to follow it
without inquiring where it leads.. There are moments
in which the pale and modest star that God has placed
in simple bosoms, and which we call conscience, throws
more light on the path of truth, than does the blazing
comet of genius in her haughty wanderings." In the
Essay on " Greek Funeral Inscriptions" there is some
neat and elegant criticism, such as we meet with in the
writings of Leigh Hunt, who perhaps is the author.
" Studies of Undeveloped Characters in Shakspeare" sani
ingenious notion adroitly worked out. We quote a
Sonnet, which is of a most dreary, lugubrious character,
but not deficient in fancy :
A Shape of Grief it is words cannot paint
That on my weeping heart its gaunt hand places,
And with relentless strength, that leaves me faint,
Crushes its salt tears out. Time, that effaces
All other memories, makes this immortal,
As if the deepest woe should also be
The longest-lived: as though it were not well
To suffer and forget—but, lingering, see
The shadows darkening day by day upon
The earth, blotting out all things fair and good,
But showing still their spectres in the sun,
Making the Past our Present. Hope, that stood
Upon the horizon's verge, is vanished,
And I am left alone, companioned with the Dead !
