We have much pleasure in informing the
public that one of our contributors for The
coming year will be our friend ard colleague

VERY THRILLING STORIES.

for Us. in jransating from the French and
German and our own original narrative wri-
tcrs are among TIE first.
We are fortunate also, in travellers gone
abroad who are literary contributors, and we
are anticipating for our readers most agree
able surprise in the quality of these
Sketches Of TraVeLs and advenfures.
But the feature of our journal which we
have not yet mentioned is perhaps the most
recherche Of all. its prominence as
The Exponent of Refined Society.
Our urcorrespondence with the leaders of fashion
in New Y ork and the other capitals, is espe-
cially valuable in this respect, keeping us un-
mistakablv informed of the changes and pro-
gress of what is commonly understood by the
'gay woId." As we have taken some pains
to arrange the resources OF this new feature,
we speak confidently of its promise CT enter
tainment to our large circle of readers. In
this department.. foreign journals are endIessly
inventive and, with our industrious ranSack-
ing of these, we are sure to select, for the pc.
cular taste to which we minister, a most re-
fishing banquet.
