table, laden with intellectual nourishmeRt. Its
articles are all of high merit: The Ancient Lam
guages in the United States; Norma Maui
rice, an American Drama; Nathaniel Hauthorn,
an able article by Henry T. Tuekerman, a highly
interesting collection, by a pen not unused to
write Virginia's past history, with many others
too numerous to mention.
The Messenger is Southern Periodical, and we
hope receives that generous support from the
South it so justly deserves. describing the light,
ephemeral, trashy productions of the day, it is
devoted to a high order of literature and sound
practical information. 81 pages each No, at IS
