These Reprints have now been in successful epc-
ration in this country for tne.'y years, and their cir
culation is constantly the increase notwthstand-
ing the competitor they encounter from American
periodicals of similar class, and from numerous Ec-
icctics and Magazines made up Of selections from
foreign periodicals. This fact shows clearly the high
estimation in which they are held by the intelligent
reading public and affords guarantee that they are
established on firm basis, and will be continued
without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished by the DO
ltcal shades above Indicated yet but small portion
of their contents is devoted to political subjects. 1t
is their literary character which gives them their
chief value and in that they stand confesscdly far
above all other journals CT their class. Backwood,
sui undef the mastery guidance OF christopher
North, maintains its ancient celebrity and is, this
time, unusually attractive from the serial works of
Buwer and other literary notabes, written for that
magazine, and first appearing i'll its columns both in
Great Britain and in the United States Such works

The ImagiRatiOn.

Is joy painter who can seldom harmo-
nize his colofs with the coarse canvass of
Reality. All is bright with him no shade,
no dark foreground, no dim perspective
Eden was not more fair than are the scenes
he draws. Neither rock, nor preciPice, nor
waterfall has he, but blushing flowers, and
azure skies and verdant groves.
How beautiful they are, how our hearts
through our senses are won TO them! We
recline upon the lawn, inhaling the breath
of bursting blooms and listening to the
sweet carroling Of myriad songsters in the
fruit laden boughs.
How almost oppressed with pleasure are
we! a fascination and sense of volup-
tuousncss have grown around our charmed
spirits which we think we can not, nor will
we shake off. This is the life we have seen
in dreams. This is The home for which our
souls have sighed.
We arc not deceived here is the flower
bending beneath the fragrant zephyr, and
there the brook that floats onward with a
song Of joy. Why found we not this bless
ed isle before, whose ambrosial dews descend
and bathe the weary spirit in food of Joy.
All about is loveliness; let US pluck the
flower and taste the tempting fruit. We
reach forth our hand, and all vanishes-
darkness and the old truth Of heavy life
are made known.
Reality has swept the canvas 80 delight
full, with his heavy brush, and fancy With
cred beneath his touch.
