PETERsoN's MAeAzINE.-The June
number of this Magazine is unusually
good, which is saying great deal for PEI
terson. "The Soldiers Orphans bids
fair TO prove the finest of Mrs. Stephens
productions. There is so much heart and
human sympathy breathing through the
whole, that one feels the author must
have n clear insight of humanity and
tender, loving heart. "The Old Mill of
Amoskeag" is commenced in this number
and promises well, and in addition TO these
two most charming novelettes, are the
usual number of short pithy stories, max
ing the number complete.
GopEY's LADY's Book for June is
prefaced with an engraving, in which the
grouping of the figures, and execution of
the plate are fine. A colored fashion

evening and walking, come prochein.-
The literary matter is as usual of a high
order, as it must be coming from the pen
of Marian Harland, and other of the IA
vorite writers for Cooley.

DEMoREsT's MoNTHLY.-The June
number of this favorite Magazine is be-
fore US, and is as fresh and full of beauty
as the month itself. We have only had
time to bestow cursory glance upon it,
but that has revealed TO us a variety of
reading matter, illustrations, and the usu-
al fashions, patterns, and delicious odds
and ends which make it so interesting to
women. A fine engraving of the Noun

following the music which, this month. is
of the comic order, and entitled Mr..
Carney, none Of your Barney"

BEADLE's MoNTHLY-TheJ June num-
Der closes the first volume OF this truly
meritorious Magazine, which has won its
way to popularity in very short time

Mr.. Albert Richardson has an interesting
illustrated paper on " Colorado" The
Dead Letter" which is a powerfully writ
ten romance, and enough of itself to es
tablish the reputation of any periodical, is
continued, and grows more deeply inter
esting, as light begins to dawn. 1t also
contains other articles of merit, from some
of our first writers. The poems by Alice
Carey and John Neal are truly exquisite
and afford fine contrast.
