The opening paper of this number is entitled
aTbe Gallows and the Gospel, designation in
exceedingly bad taste and calculated only to irritate
sbere i, car by possibility do the least to
vince. The article is an examination, able and
sell written, of the Scrirtural argument usually
ur.d In tgppcrt of the infection OF the Penalty G!
isa,h for Murder. Of course it is atdenty hos
ats to tie prevailing practice and opinion. Fol-
having this is Ballad by WRITER not unwor-
l,s to be placed beside Lockhart's Spanish Bal
hds or Mecanlay's Lays. Il commentaries the
.spara Southwick, condemned by the General
Cour, Of Boston in 1863 to be sold into Stausry
for the non payment of fine imposed as penalty

continues his "Syn,hentic Philosophy work
which, though marked by somewhat of its au-
,bots peculiar rashness and hasty judgement, will
have high and permanent value. Willing and
Reasoning are he two v.alI3 Important points upon
which he dogma,ises in this chapter. "Egotlsm
OF the Bos,m Serpent" is striking and skifuily
elaborated Allegory of the Heart, by that most
gifted writer, HAWTHORNE. We are inclined
heartily to forgive all the faults of our Magazine
mania for the good it has effected in calling out
some Of our best nag NATIVE writers and to none
Of them do we always extend more hearty well
come than to Hawthorne. This tale is in his bes,
vein, though less perfect and graceful than some

HuNr's MERCHANTS MAGAZINE; March, 1913: Freeman
Hunt l42 Fulton street
This number of BY far the best magazine Of its
kind in the couptry, contains several articles o
great value ard interest. The BEST perhaps, is
that with which it opens, upon 'China and the
Chinese Peace" by Francis Wharton, Esq, OF
Pennsylvania, who has long b-en valued contri-
butor to this monthly magazine. ltpossesses great
in,eres, and will be read with pleasure by all in
any way curious concerning the character and his
tory Of this great Eastern Empire. The argument
in favor of. the Protective Policy, made by HoR-
ACE GREELEY in the discussion at the Broadway
Tabernacle on that subject, is reported at length,
and will be followed, the Editor Announces in the
April number of the Magazine by that of PARKE
GoDwIS, Esq on the opposite side of the question
The Magazine has other papers Of the same gene
raj character. and its usual amount OF commercial
and other statistics. Every number only adds
strength to the conviction so frequently expressed,
lha. no one in any way concerned IN mercantile
pursuits or who would wish to be informed con-
cerning the progress of commei ce; and every thing
connected with i, in this country and throughout
the world should be without this work. l. is
edited with ability and industry, and numbers
among its contributors men of the most extensive
knowledge and the finest talent
