The high tone and vigor Of this sterling
Democratic Magazine, which was 50
marked in the January number, is still
more apparent in the present issue.
TIE OLD GUARD wears well, not only
sustaining the reputation which its
six years publication has won, but it
improves like good wine, the older it
grows. The February issue is replete
with political, literary, and miscelane-
Gus matter. "Religious inequality of
Human Races By the Editor, IS es-
pecialIy worthy of attention. "The
Cub of the Panther" by w. Gilmore
Simms, Esq, keeps up its interest.
"Forgotten English Poets, " "The First
Edition Of Shakespeare" and mo
hammed as prophet, are readable, and
the Book and Editors Tables were
never better. Single copies, 25c.; $500
per annum. Van Evrie, Horton & Co.,
1G2 Nassau street, n. Y.
