The hldine, while issued with oil tho reg.
ularity, has none OF the Temporary or time
ly interest characteristic OF ordinary PERI
o,licals. W r. an elegant miscellany OF pure

ton OF pictures, the rarest specimen OF ar.
tistic skill, in black and white. Although

rivals OF a similar class, the hldine II an un-
ique and original conception-alone and un
proached-absolutely without concept
ia price or character.
