A dimpied finger pointed, and two such Gag

but never bne that seemed such reflex from

Sure enough, there was the fower-bud, low
down on its stunted stem. The grass brushed
ivbrieht with it's slender tips; the litte coquet-
ish leaves folded about it, as if to keep harm
away, and now snowy hand lovingly touched
IFS velvet cheek, yet reverently, as if half
afraid the vision would melt.

DUTNAMs MONTHLY.-On the first Of


II July was commenced the second volume OF
Putnams Monthly. ltssuccess, remarkable among
literary undertakings, proves the geuuineness oi
the national welcome with which the prospectus
was received, and the manner ia which lis pro-
mise has been fulfilled.
To have demonstrated that an original Aneri-
can Magazine can command the lively interest and
substantial support OF the American Public and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is a
success of which the publishers are proud.
They will spare effort in deserving even
greater favor. They still believe, they said AT
the commencement OF the undertaking, that, "a
popular magazine must anluse, interest, and in
struct" They have still unabated faith in the
oppulence Of our own native resources" and they
appeal 10 the experience OF the last six months 10
show with what reason.
The first volume is now complete and may be
had neatly bound in cloth, price 81 90.
The first edition OF The June number consists oi
thirty five thousand copies--a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by an original
literary magazine, either in this country or IN
Europe.
