Three of the foregoing articles are of
more than ordinary excellence. They are
timely and trenchant-no mere abst-ac-
tions, which would answer purpose of the
past or future. They are of the present,
and hence command u lively interest. The
other articles are upon themes which
serve to give that variety so attractive to
the general reader, and insure wide cir
culation.
Mr.. P. F. Gogarty, Catholic bookseller
and stationer, Isl Camp street, promptly
placed the May number in our hands last
week, but through inadvertence we failed
to acknowledge the courtesy which we now
tender him.
THE LEADER. Baltimore: Published by
the Leader Association.
We have received the first number of the
above weekly, and gladly welcome it to our
table. Southern Society, which it super
cedes, was creditably got up and deservedly
popular, SURPRISING in some respects, any
publication in the land. Judging from the
specimen before us, the Leader will surpass
it, as it will occupy larger sphere and
minister to more diversified class. Why
encourage Northern journals, so often offen-
sive and unjust, with such periodicals as the
Leader in our midst, and deservedly worthy
OF our warmest supports Let the South
rouse from her slavish dependence on those
who profit by the people they malign.
RIVERSIDE MAGAZINE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
May. New York: Hurd g. HOughton.
The young folks are certainly we'll
cared for in the present generation. Their
studies are abridged by philanthropists
their recreation hours increased; royal
roads to learning, if not made as easy as
riding on rail-" are still made so easy,
judging by prefaces to "new Methods
that dullness will soon be expelled from the
land But what shall we say of the amuse-
ments provided for the young, and in par
ticular- of the Riverside Magasines The
number for May is in no respect behind its
predecessors. indeed, the contents, in one or
two particulars, we think an Improvement,
If there was room for such thing. The
illustrations are very attractive, the frontis-
piece, Feeding the Calf" especially so. 80
Mr. Gresham, 90 Camp street, is the agent
in this city for the last named magazine,
and we tender our acknowledgements for the
courtesy extended to us.
The LAND WE LOVE. May, 1868.
Ihepresent number fully equals any before
published predecessors, both in style and va
rlety of subjectstre "An Alpine Scene.n
by Mrs. NJ. j. Preston, is worthy of the
gifted authoress. "Demoralized Weeklies,n
is an excoriating but just criticism of q set
OF publications so loathsome and repulsive
that one is at loss 10 know whence their
come. We hope they find few
readers in our midst. "Industrial Combi-
nations" is well-considered and Thought
full article, worthy of extensive perusal.
In fine, the whole number is admirable.
THE CHILD's MONTH OF MARY. BY the au-
thor of est. Francis and the Francis"
cans" Boston: Patrick Donahoe. 1868,
This is an admirable little volume, writ
ten with great care and simplicity, and well
adapted to impress the youthful mind with
the sweet devotion appropriate to the
