some pretty hard raps with regard to the
correctness of his historical knowledge.
The other articles in the number are of
a lighter and more general character, and
will interest those who read such articles
only. They are: The approaching

ONWARD for April Mayne Reid's
magazine for the coming month il far
superior to any previous numbers. Cap
tain Reid, as he himself admits, has dis
covered that the contents of periodical,
when written, for the most part, 10y a
single individual, pals upon the reader.
He has, therefore, given W. a magazine of
varied contents, but which. even now, has
too much OF the Indian, Mexican, and
short Photographed literature of the day.
And we would further add, in "A kind
spirit of caution, that no magazine ever
became great success in this country
that was partisan in its political views.
We uld name sometime prominent
and popular monthly, which lost over fif-
teen thousand subscribers on the first of
January last, lat least so says report,
principally because Of their becoming
tired of the political articles published
therein. Onward has a well-known pub
Usher, and cannot fail to achieve success
if its columns are thrown open to all
writers, no matter what they think or
write, so long as they write well and in
terestingly.
We have received from the publishers,
Messrs. T. s. Arthur & Sons, of Philadel- |
phia, "ONcE MONTH" for April, gal
axy of contributions, both original and
select. The periodical il in every respect
worthy of patronage. Terms, 80 per
year.
ARTHUR's HOME MAGAZINE, by the
same publishers, has already been favor
ite from the excellence of the articles
which it contains, and for its valuable re-
ceipts. Terms, So per year.
THE CHILDREN's MAGAZINE, pub
lished by the same house, is capital Pc
riodical for children, which we are sure
will be appreciated by them all.
