Literary Notes.
The July Magazines.


THE New JERSEY MAGAZINE, has preaxed to
its title the name Northern Monthly, in order to
avoid the appearance Of local character, and Sc
cure wider field of circulation. 1t now enters
upon the broad arena Of magazine literature,
asking only to be Judged by Its own merits, and
pleading for no favor not deserved.
We cannot help admiring the courage of this
new candidate for public support and there Is
surely strong reason for confidence In Its success
The character of its contents Is already attracting
attention, and the names upon Its title-page are
such as will lead the critical reader to turn over
the leaves. The most prominent in this issue Ia
the first of the series Of articles on "Past Pres
idential Nominations" by Parton. These we're
intended at first to refer only to the Accidental
Presidents" Tyler, Fillmore, and johnson, but
they will now include Two more papers, which
will appear in the August and September issues.
The paper on Parke Goodwin, tho managing
editor, when he Ia at home, of the N Y Evening
Post, Is by Frank W. Potter, the versatile and
ambitious assistant In the Newark Courier. 1t Is
pleasant and well written. Whether either the
subject or the manner Of treatment Is sufficient
to assume the first place In a monthly Of this
character we shall not here determine Else
where, two combatants on the political field,
place side by side In peaceful congruity, their of
ferings at the Literary shrinc. These are two re-
markable sons Of Jersey, Jim Wall, the radical
Democrat, and Jim Scovel, the Radical OF his
own school. Both have readable and pleasant
papers, the latter on "a Day with Richard Cob
den y the former on 1.-THE Letters of the Younger
Pliny." NiAi
The Northern Monthly Is published by NJ R.
Dennis g. Co., Newark, N. j., at % per annum.
WHEN WE oEAsE to say good word of the
genial Harper's Monthly, our pen will cleaye,
doubtless, to the paper, and refuse to advance.
From the outside cover, with It's color of singu-
lar freshness and attractlveness, clear through to
the end, the magazine Is readable, entertaining,
and instructive.
The illustrated papers In this issue are "a
Stage Ride to Colorado" which Is interesting /;
1.-THE Dodge Club" in Italy, which, as ever, is
jolly and full Of rich humor; "Our New North
west" whose descriptions and Illustrations are
timely and valuable, just now, when we are all
in search Of now information concerning North
ern extension; and " Independence Hall and In
dependence Day." a reminiscent sketch of patri-
the familiar old hall in Philadelphia.
Harpers Monthly is published at o. per an
mum.
The ART OF DRESSING well, with numerous
Illustrations, which should make Its mysteries
plain to all the latest and most practical drec-
lions to assist every department of household Ia
pors; the pleasant light stories which ladies love;
WIN handsome steel engraving and double page
ashion plate characterize Godey's Ladys Book
Among the stories Is one by Octave e. Hill, Of
poylestown, Pa, whose literary labors we have
heretofore noticed.
Godey's Lady's Book Is published at s3 per
annum.
TINS ISSUE of the Lady's Friend opens with
steel Plate of interest and beaul va lovely Gin
aereila, sitting cad and neglected by the kitchen
nre' her naughty sisters disappearing through
.nc doorway. The Colored Fashion Plate Is a
a'thiui transcript of the prevailing modes and
he wood cuts, illustrating articles of dress, and
teaching fancy work, must be of great value to
lhe ladies. Tho Music, "Kiss the Little One,
,of Me-" looks the kind of song to be popular.
Inc literary entertainment is furnished by Eliza
beth Prescott, Mics AL. Muzzey, ,Auber Forester.
