days since, by the appearance of the
bright face of "THE LITTLE PILGRIM"
a monthly for the children; edited by
Grace Greenwood, published by l. X.
Philadelphia, at fifty cents
a year, in advance. 1t is issued in
quarto form, S pages, and is full of in
teresting stories and poetry, for the
young. In his salutatory, The Little
Pilgrim says
"He has stories wild and warlike,
For the stormy winter night,
And for summer gay and CHEEKY,
He has tales of fay and fairy,
Woodland elf and water-sprite
"He's not shy about discoursing
OF the wonders he has seen,
He will open all his budget,
If you let him once begin
He brings tears and he brings laughter,
And some knowledge dropping after"
We trust he will not fail to call on
US while on his monthly round.
The PRACTICAL DRAUGHTsMAN's

by Messrs. Stringer & Townsend, and is
no doubt, from cursory glance, valu-
able work but judging from the man
ner in which we have been treated on
two or three occasions by these gentle
men, we don't care tc give ourselves the
trouble to examine it very critically.
They sent US one number of the Prac-
tical Mechanics Journal, and finding it
to be valuable work, we recommended
it as such, but we never could induce
them to favor us with another number.
These gentlemen publish some valuable
works, which we would be happy to re.
ceive and notice according to our ability
to judge of their merits but if it is not
an object to them to send them regular
ly, they may as well save themselves the
trouble of sending them at ali. That's
all we have to say on that subject, at
present.

GRAHAM AND Cooley, BOTH FOR ss4 PER
ANNUM.
TIME WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION and ac-
i knowledged ability of these popular Maga-
zines, render long descriptions and elaborate puff.
cry unnecessary. They are known and read in
every corner of our country, and are as household
words in the mouths ofthose who pretend to judg-
ment in Literature or taste in Art. The pens Of
our most accomplished writer's, as we'll as the bu-
rims OF the abest artists, enlisted to enrich and
adorn their pages-and all that is now famous in
letters or beautiful in engravings, in the world of
periodical literature is owing to the fostering
and lavish expense Of these two prominent Anne
Ican periodicals.
Their imiators fail a,pays in equalling them, for
want of public support, and the poor dupes who
are led to subscribe to the hastily born enterprises
which spring up every year to delnde the public,
with promises of wind and words of sound, find
that these ,celestabshed toorks are as yet the only
reliable sources to which they look for faith
ful performance of all contracts entered into with
subscribers.
The publishers of Cooley and of Graham have
determined that for 1853 they will surpass in the
cheapnsss, elegance and merit of their periodicals,
all that has ever been attempted and as the works
are dssmilar, have resolved to place both within
the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly
posted up in the rapidly improving periodical lite
nature Of the age. la-i
The best and freshest both in Literature and
Art, will be found in their ample and greatly null
tplied pages, and they challenge the world to ex-
eel equal the forthcoming volumes either in the
beauty and cost of their adornments, the merit and
amplitude of literary matter, or in the cbeapness
and accommodating terms with which they are pre-
sented to the American public.
