have started on the road to ruin at headlong speed.
The Paris excursion, upon which Dora has insisted,
does not seem likely to conduce to the reputation or
profit of either husband or wife. Kate Fane is a
Provoking character, who seems able to do much
better than she ever does through her perversity and
Belfi.shnes'• " Notes of a Curious Man" contain
some sad sketches of life, that are told in a feeling
manner and in an impressive style. " The Little
Garden', is the beginning of a tale that seems an
attractive one. Its descriptions arc given in an
animated form, and the incidents are exciting and
interesting. " For Gentlemen Only" is a paper
that possesses the merit of originality at any rate,
for it refers to the, a)itheties of dress" in connec-
tion with male attire, and there is a good deal to be
said on that subject. Some of the hints here given
may be appropriately studied, and turned to the ad-
vantage of those who dress without regard to suit-
ableness
or economy. " Tapos, the Notary of
Argostoli "
is brought to a conclusion. The end is
dramatic one, told in a spirited manner. " A
Lost Home" is continued in its usual diversified
style, and narrates the schemes of its heroes and
heroines in a very effective style. " Tornadoes"
gives some account of these extraordinary visita-
tions. It may astonish the uninitiated to learn that
alcmg the track of one tornado 110 ships wore
wrecked, crippled, and dismasted.
MACMILLAN.—This magazine presents us now-a-
day with a double attraction ou the title-page.
The ever-welcome author of " Friends in Council"
continues his " Realmah," and every one who is
familiar with the names of Milverton, Ellesmere,
and their colleagues, can readily guess what shrewd
sense, what sound judgment, what kindly wit and
ready humour adorn its story. The other page to
which the reader of Macmillan will naturally turn
with eager interest is the second instalment of Miss
I.,"ge's new story " The Chaplet of Pearls." The
Plot: which had already advanced considerably in
the first chapters, proceeds yet more rapidly. The
reader,tk whose English notions were scandalised at
,u proposed dissolution of the early marriage, w ill
'earn with relief that the bold court lady whom
/°ung Berenger shrunk from in the last part was

foresee the shadow of grave historical events darken-
lag over the future of the hopeful young pair. Mr.
