L1rEaA ruRE AND JOURNALISM.

The next issue of tho DELAWARE TRIBUNE
will contain the first of q series Of articles on
"a Fruit Culture written for lite columns by
Josiah Hopes of West Chester. Mr.. Hopes Is
,ne of the leading pomologists of the country,
Ind presides with ability over the East Pennsyl-
vania Fruit Growers Association. His Book
Of Evergreeus, lately published, has been ac-
cepted as standard work, and has met with
success.
In THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY, for March, nre
some excellent articles. The number Is rather
more lively and entertaining than usual. Bayard
raylor's serial, Joseph and His Friend" ad-
vanees, though not swiftly. II seems TO US that
Bayard has set out to preach, through this story,
an elaborate sermon, enforcing his great Idea
that young men must see the world, and be ex-
posed to its temptations; otherwise, when they
escape over the parental paliugs, The world takes
them 10, after the bad not the hospilable fashion.
Joseph. OF our story, was brought up carefully,
and knew nought of the pitfalls of life, where
upon Bayard has now pitched him, first into the
SHARES of au artfu young city girl, and second,
into the clutches of shabby genteel family, with
mercenary designs on Juseph's well-stocked, two
hundred acre, Chester county farm. But Quare,
just.here how many such green young men, in
an average year. does Chester county produce
We believe, not many, and 1t seems to us as
though Joseph" is the type of small class, If
our theory Of the story be correct
Dickens new novel Is the sensation, of the
near future. Fields, Osgood & Co., are to bring
1t out, in Ererg Saturday, simultaneously with
its issue in England, with all the original illus
tratiops. The title, over which there has been
so much curiosity, is "The Mystery of Edwin
Drood," and it is surmised, If not limited, that the
author eau hardly fail to draw on his new Amer.
lean Note Book, made up a year ago, through
more friendly spectacles than those of Martin
Chi, szlenit." II this anticipation is realized, Of
course ,ee story will be still more interesting.
We do,,,bt it any of the March magazines
