MAGAZINES for May.

The May number of LippincOtrs Mqgd-
zine is particularly attractive, whether we
regard the interest and variety of its articles
or the numLer and beauty of its ilustra-
tions. The third part of sFThe Roumi in
Kabylian forms the initial article. This
charming record of travel is embellished
with many spirited and Apostle engrav-

little known to The public. "Our Home in
the Tyrol," by Margaret Hewitt, is a de-
lightful narrative of a summers residence
at Bruneck, in the Pusterthal. "Queen

her Britannia Majesty, and discloses many

as timely paper By the many admirers OF
a game which, after having become nation
allied in England, and there won the en-
thusiastic sympathies of al classes Of the

youth and manhood of this country fresh
admiration and fresh devotion. Fiction 10
