LITERARY.

The GALAXY for 1871 promises even great
er attractions than heretofore. One distinct
i've feature of THE GALAXY is, the bright
sharp way in which it is edited. Every sub.
iect of popular interest is at once seized upon
and written up by the most competent per-
son.
THE GALAXY has gathered itself a staff OF
the most popular writers In every depart.
ment. and it is clear that every number is
made up with the same unity of purpose and
nice discernment of the public taste, which
characteriZes our most successful daily and
weekly papers. 1t has been the custom for
magazines to furnish the puollc Win Inc pest
selection they could make from such articles
as were sent to them for publication. The
day for this has past, and the editor of first
class magazine has a very different duty to
perform from reading manuscript, and cul :
ing out the best. He must create. He
must map out the style of magazine he wish
es to produce, and then seek out the most
competent person to prepare articles upon
subjects on which the public desire it read.
This important change in the requirements
of magazine literature, THE GALAXY was the
first to discern, if it did not itself create the
change.
Among the attractions for the coming year,
THE GALAXY has engaged Porte Crayon to
furnish series of sketches of life and advent
ure, which will revive the old interest in his
pictures of American scenes.
