! AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL MoyT4.
LY.-The January number begins Wi.
ume 3, of this periodical. Ii Is, Wa
think, one of the best educational "a.
rials published. OF course it could nor
supply the place of Mr.. Burrowes' ey.
cellent School Journal, but as It's object,
of a more general character than tha,
Of the latter, it can be read with great
! benefit by those who are readers of the
| School J01Gm0i. The Ed,tcatio1oj
| MOl8hly contains some fine scientific
articles and sharp reviews of current
literature which make its pages quite
attractive. Schermerhorn, Bancroft 4

HARPER's MAGAZINE.-The Febru-
ary number of Harper is on our table
We are glad to find it free from the Ah-
! olitionism which tainted the pages Of
some of the preceding numbers and
J which crops out III such Dartizan rnngb-
ness in the Weekly. We should like to
| see Ha3per return to his first love, Clq-
serUatiSH7, for it really gives us pain to
see an old friend get so wrOng-headed.
| The present number is filled with in
teresting matter, but, we presume, was
| intended for the special benefit of the
Radical Congressman, as its leading ar
ticle is on the "BlGck-WeEs Lunatic
| Asylum"
GoDEY's LADY's BOoK.-Godey, for
January, is capital number. 4 new
ryby Marion Harland, entitled "Riz-
pah's Idols" is commenced. "The
Unclaimed Portrait" )" by Meta Victor
ia Victor, is a Well-written tale, and
the republication of Mrs. Washington
Potts." by the late Miss Leslie, will
interest many readers. The fashions
and others illustrations are Very fine.
