GoDEY's LADY's Book, for December,
closes the forty-seventh volume in a
style creditable to the publisher. Cooley
promises a rich treat to his subscribers
for 1854, and. we find Godey's promises
something tangible-whatever he pro-
misses his patrons may rely upon his per-
forming. The present number has a
magnificent steel plate of Vests great
painting" Christ healing the Sick"
with some forty-eight other embellsh-
ments. In regard to the letter press, it
is only necessary to say it is worthy the
magazine. Our lady friends will find
this a valuable investment of three dol
lars, by remitting to l.. A. Cooley, Phil
adelphia or We will furnish it with
copy Of the Echo for one year for So.
THE ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY RECORD,
Nos. l3 and IA, contain articles on
Tides and Tide Guages, Government
Schools of Ornamental Art in England,
and Electric Telegraphs, with seventeen
illustrations of articles on exhibition.

The LADIES' KEEPSAKE and Home
Library, for November, has a beautiful
engraving of Napoleon Bonaparte and
the King of Rome with the usual amount
Of interesting reading matter. Published
by John s. Taylor, II Ann-st., N. Y,
at S year.
Poems, by David Bates, published by
Lindsay & Blakiston, Philadelphia, 2lO
pp., contains some pieces of respectable
merit, but we see nothing to warrant an
embodiment in book form. Mr.. Bates
is probably young writer and will
doubtless improve with practice.
The Publishers Of the SATURDAY
EVENING PosT, propose commencing
the new year with brilliant array of
contributors, among whom appear the
names of Mrs. Southworth, Emerson
Bennett, Mrs. Denison, Grace Green
