The Great and important events-RelgiOus, Politi-
CAL and Mlitary-now agitating the nations of the
Old World give to these Publications interest and
value they never before possessed. They occupy a
middle ground between the hastily written news
items, crude Speculatlons and lying rumOrS OF the
newspaper and the ponderous Tome of the historian
written long after the living interest in the facts he
records shall have passed away.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great
political parties of Great Britain-Whig Tory, and
Radical-but politics forms only one feature of their
character. AS Organs of the most profound writer's
on Science Literature, Morality and Religion, they
stand, as they ever have stood, unrivalled in the
world of letters, being considered indispensable to
the scholar and the professional man, while to the in
tellgent reader of every class they furnish a
correct and satisfactory record of the current tera
ture of the day, throughout the world, that be
possibly obtained from any other source.

Interesting Baby Affair.

Last Saturday evening a gentleman

with his wife and some friends at their
parlor fire, when the door bell was VIC
lenily rung. The lady rose, but then
suggested TO her husband that as the girl
was out, he bad better go 20 the front
door. Accordingly he opened it, and
found no n there; but there was a
nicely done up basket, covered with
white linen, al his feet, and he thought
he heard the rustic of a female dress de-
parting. After Looking up and down the
street and around the portal, he took the
basket into the parlor. On TIE cover
ing being removed, a beautiful child.
some five months old, was revealed 10
view. The lady screamed; one of the
lady visitors took up the baby and found
a note pinned TO The dress, and which
charged the gentleman Of the house with
being the father. and implored him 10
support il. A rich scene ensued between
the indignant wife and the husband. the
latter utterly denying all knowledge of
the little one. and asserting his innocence.
The friends interfered. and at last the
wife vas induced to forgive the husband
