METEoRoLoGIcAL.-Ye ay, we might say,
was unusually fine, more yenal than wintry. But as
we prefer TO be euphonistc, and we viii be II we Ike
we venture TO declare that all the yoes OF the heavens
we're in bloom, and that the zephyrs OF the Spring
seemed to have escaped from the unsteady clasp OF the
approaching season. and TO have stolen across placid
seas and out Of fragrant groves TO kiss The stern cheek
Of Winter into smiling peace. Nature was IN her Jarrett
mood and we have no doubt all the Gods of Olympia
were in high aesthetic spirits as they sat about the
Oympan board, and sew how beautiful the faron
earth looked as they glanced through rosy gobes az the
radiant eyes Of the laughter loving Queen.
ILLUSTRATED BooKs.-Among the literary
attractions for the holidays the perpe1ed sesrcher for
"things Of beauty" should not overlook the puohca'
tons Of the London Publishing Company. Of which Mr.
Henry A. Brown is the NewYork agent and manager.
They comprise large collection OF standard works
issued in the most slmpuous style Of Typography and
binding and equally valuable for the classical character
OF their contents and the excellence Of their mechanical
execution. Besides several admirable editioQs Of
Shakespeare and other British poets OF the highest
emnence their collection embraces maDy works OF art
as Hogarths Complete Works. Finden's British Gal
ery The Cartoons OF Raphael, and variety Of books
Of travel and OF natural history, with profGson oi
well executed Illustrations. One or two copies OF por
traits and scenes IA the Crmean war in elephant folio
are Of great interest both from their rarity and from
their superior artistic character
