Oar Book Table.

ANY one who examines the November
ALDINE will be surprised at the sumptuous-
ness of its illustrations, as well the high
literary merit of its poetry and prose. Be
sides the two full-page original pictures, this
number contains reproductions of three cell
ebrated steel engravings, which alone would
cost at the picture shops no less than thirty
dollars. The ADLINE pictures every
way as fine as the steel engravingS. The first
Illustration is full-page view of Lake Mo-
honk, in Ulster County, New York, by
kruseman Van Elten, of the National Acad-
emey. lie depicts all the wild romance of
the lake in the mountains. Homer Martin
has full-page picture of GA White Noun
tain Brook," grand, shadowy, and silent.

out-of-door scene, the second warm, cosy

in tone and sentiment. The other ilustra-

IN WOODS HOUSEHOLD MAGAZINE for
November, the table of contents seems spread
for Thanksgiving feast, and gives evidence
that no efforts have been spared that could
add to its excellence. "a Sermon on a
Skinner" is not only pleasing in it's quaint
ness and originality, but contains sound
logic. Mrs. Pomeroy's Pin Money" is
capital. 'Upon the Stand" is another mer-
itorious sketch, by the popular writer Kate
w. Hamilton. Goldfish and Potatoes by
Eleanor Kirk, is a short serial which opens
well. ''Growing Aged Together" by the Rev
Robert Collyer, is well worth the price of
the years subscriptions; it is full of this great
mans eloquence. There are many other in
teresting articles had we space to mention
them. A new feature of the magazine is the
introduction of pictures, and the illustration
Past, Present and Future" here given, is
exceedingly pretty. Price 90; with chro-
mo Yosemite" 81, 80. Address Woods
