The New York Tribune says:
''The Herald Of Health presents an agreeable |
and instructive miscellany of popular reading, in |
addition to the lucid expostions of Hygiene, to |
which 1t is specially devoted. 1t aims TO accom- |
piish the work which Is usually neglected by the
and to lay before the American
people, especially the younger members OF the
community, plain account of the principles and
laws which are at the foundation of physical
well-being. Without maintaining any ultra sys- |
tenn of abstinence, it makes war on alcohol, to-
bacco, and the unclean social habits which arise
from their use, and earnestly sets forth the i'm
portance Of purity Of body well as of purity Of
mind. The value of frequent bathing, regular
exercise, wholesome cooking, and other ordi-
nances of muscular Christianity, is insisted on
with apostolic zeal, and the best methods of turn
ing them to practical account are fully explained
and illustrated. The arrangement of the matter
evinces not little editorial experience and skill,
insuring a valuable family journal which de-
serves kindly welcome as efficient aid to the
progress of popular education"

The 1tlantic over1ows with excellent
reading from under a long array of our best
pens. But we hardly need have made the
statement. The contents of this number
have been already widely rcpublished by
the newspapers from early proof-sheets.
| BY this courtesy and enterprise on the part
of Osgood & Co., their magazine for 1872
has been advertised the best possible. And
in addition to its former. special attractions
| it has this year others which will be
highly valued. New departments of Art,
Music, Science and Politics have been APP
pended, and are well edited. Howells, as
a Western man, in one of the most inn
portant of Eastern literary positions, is
doing what his friends had a right to ex-
pect of him-editing the Atlantic better
than it has ever been done before. And,
yet, we deem it the correct thing to con-
graduate him not so much as his readers,
great as may be his merit. aa
Haper's New Monthly has grown. old,
yet it is ever a ne,o magazine, eagerly
looked for in the family circle. Its best
illustrated articles are !: "The Legend of
the Mistletoe," a Christmas poem 'Hol-
land and the Hollanders," an article in
| which the West will find an interesting
description of people who have been COM
ing this way in great numbers of late years;
"a Stranger in the Pew" pleasant poem
which We may hope will have its force in
making a stranger in the pew less strange
a thing "From Barn to Drury Lane' !;
"The Danish West Indies," and ga Visit
to Greenland Glacier" "Miserere" is a
good but scarcely characteristic sonnet by
SAKE, and he will hardly excite argument
with the last verse, which says:
81 think the pity of this life is love-"
The young and rising Julian Hawthorne,
we believe it is, who writes up "The Mys-

of poor ones that get into print now-a-

from the press.
