has selected the primitive forest, and given
US glimpse Of its wildness and gram
deur. His subject is "Kwasind, Tho
Strong Man, in tho "Song of Hiawatha."
and he has handled it magnifcently, with |
all the strength and none of the extrava-
gance Of Dore. Nehlig has selected the
Colonial forest, so to speak, and has given
us glimpse of its sunny openings, rooted
with foliage, draped with vines, carpeted
with flowers and moss, and peopled with
happy birds. His subject is Camp
bells "Gertrude of Wyoming" the
spirit of which he has realized in his
figures Of Gertrude and Albert, who are
rambling through the woods in fam
ciful Indian garb. Hows has select
ed the forests of the Adrondacks,
and has given us glimpse Of the
pines Of the Racquette. A nobler trio of
forest pictures than these were never drawn,
and they ought to make the fortune of
The Aldine as an art journal. The rest Of
the illustrations are Of various degrees of
merit, the most noticeable beings Dayis's
"Rainy Day." after Longfellow's poem of
that name, and a Characteristic design, by
Stephens, for one Of Hlsop's fables. The lit
erature is as splendidly varied in character
as any other periodical published in this
country. The present number contains

and Father" by January Searle; "on an
Islands, simple and pathetic story, by
