We have read this pamphlet, and if
we are competent Judge, would say
that as literary production, it has
no superior and but few equals. The
marks of deep research are visible on
every page, the language used superb,
and must have been a recherche enter
tainment for the audience, as its de-
livery, we have no doubt, was in
keeping with the subject. We venture
the prediction, that it will be n long
time before that Institute will have
the pleasure of listening to such a rich
"tribute" on any subject.
Demorest's Young America.--An illustrated
Monthly Magazine for Children. Published by
W. Jennings Demorest No. 4T3 Broadway
New York. Price, 81 80 per annum. Single
numbers, IS cents.
This handsome little periodical
started with many competitors, but
has outlived, or outstripped, nearly all.
Since its first issue, last November, il
has exactly trebled its circulation, and
expects confidently to quite treble
that again, before the LIST of January.
1t is great favorite with the little
folks, and deservedly so, for the efforts
Of the editors to amuse them are un-
ceasing. No other magazine contains
so many toys, stories, games and puz-
zles. No wonder the children like it.

piquart steel engraving of a rustic

Fashion Plate for this month is a
group of six young misses, beautifully
designed and colored. An illustrated
article shows what pretty things in
the way of Vases, &c, can be made of
common egg-shells. Among the Edi-
torials, we call special attention TO
the leading article on "Bread-the
Staff of Life" with its receipts for
making unfemented rye biscuits, rye
and Indian cakes, rye puffs, fappers
Of rye and Indian, &c.

way, N. Y Price, 25 cents
"Ten-Minute Speeches." or "Tem.
perance in Congress-" is beautifully
printed on tinted paper, in large, clear
letter, and is in every way worthy of
the occasion which called it forth.
We would have copy placed in the
hands of every young man in the
nation. 1t would serve to fortify
him in resisting temptations, which
will sooner or later bcset him. Walled
in with the best resolutions, he is still
liable to fall. We hope the Honora-
blcs will stick to their pledges, and
become as temperate in political
sense as they profess to be in their
drinking A reformation could not
have broken out in better place, as
the intemperance of Congress for tho
past seven years has been a disgrace
to the country.
