THE ATLANTIC Monthly FOR 1862
The first number of the ninth volume of
the Atlantic, is one of the best specimens
of what has long been the leading mag
azne this side the water. The new num-
Der opens with an article from Prof Ag-
ASST on Natural History, the first of
series which is new feature for the year.
1t is mastery in arrangement and lucid
in style, and will DO deeply interesting
to those who read for graver purpose
than to be amused. Then we have the
commencement of new story by Theo-
doro Winthrop, and of series of papers
of great military interest, by the private
secretary of Gen. Fremont; also the au-
photography of Dr.. Wiudship, the noted
gymnast, whose weight is only one hun
dred and forty, aud who has trained him
self to lift nearly two thousand pounds.
The style of this medical Hercules is de-
lightful, and his story is sure to win ana
reward attention. After the doctor comes
our old friend, Birdofredum Sawin, for
merry n United States ser tinel outside the
"Halls Of Montezuina," but now rabid
secessionist by virtue Of his marriage to
a southern widow, "whose thirds was
part in cotton-land, part in the curse of
Canaan"
Altogether, the atlantic is the ablest
magazine of the country, and, indeed, is
the peer of the ablest trans Atlantic pub
locations.

PARENTS, your assistance is necessary in
