Tue SECOND NUMBER of Lippincotts Magazine
well sustained the reputation won for the new
periodical by the first one. Mrs. Davis " Dallas
Galbraith' Is continued. II is good story and
will add to the reputation which It's author is
rapidly forming In the scenes given us this
month there are some pleasant sunbeains Of hu-
NOR, quality the lack of which has not unfre-
quently made Mrs. Davis novels seem overstrain-
ed and tlresome. A well-writton, clear, and pow
erful article IL that on "Rstori as Marie An
tonctie.' 1t is really eloquent criticism, form
ed of glowing thought and well chosen language,
and except that 1t will have the effect of carrying
the sympathies Of the reader entirely In behalf of
tho folly-burdencd Queen, direction where all
sympathy does not belong, the article Is beyond
criticism. John NJ Read Jr class his "reminiscences
of the Old Slate Roof House. His rration of facts
which to many readers are not especially ent.r-
tanning is done in very pleasant style, and his
articles will be read by many besides antiquarians.

the third aud fourth in the April and May NUM-
bers. DIR. Hayes gives us a further record Of the
adventures of the two whaler boys who were
"Cast Away In the Cold Of the Arctic regions.
His story has been exceedingly attractive to all
Juvenile minds, resembling somewhat the good
old fathcr of all adventure books Robinson Crusoe
or the scarcely less entertaining "Swiss Family
Robinson" Perhaps the best feature in the
Young Folks after all, is "William Henrys Letters
to his Grandmother" The style Is simple, un
affected and exceedingly diverting, as it isper-
fectly natural.
THE FEnRuARY NUMBER Of Pcterscn's Ladies'
National Magazine fully maintains its reputa
