Two American Magazines.

The excellence of American Magazines has
become so well recognized abroad, that one
of the leading English Papers, the London
Weekly Register, in recent issue, thus
speaks of Scribner's Monthly:
eve are constrained to ocn that tScribaser's
Monthly carries off the prize against all oar
shilling monthly serials for briHiancy Of M'tS-
trotions and variety Of contents. II is simply
a sconde,.tim ShiHjng's north. Nothing can be
more charming than tie cuts---tiM of force and
gigOr tie light and shade are managed wih a
truly artistic po,cer ont of its one and t,Centy
original articles really do not kno'o ecltich TO
choose as best, for each and all are excellent"
Not only is it true that Scribner's Monthly
excels the English Magazines, but it is The
Best of the American Monthlies."
In the extent, variety and artistic excel
lence of its illustration of American themes,
it has never been even approached, much less
excelled- 1T has a larger page and gives a
greater variety in its contents than any other
of the Standard American Monthlies.
In literary character, and in the brilliancy
and ability of its Editorial Departments, it
enjoys an equal pre-eminence.
Its conductors started with the definite
aim of making it tie best magazine IN the
,cor2d, of which they have never for mo-
ment lost sight, and they point with pride
and pleasure to the May and June numbers,
recently issued, and ask for them a candid
examination and a careful comparison OF
their merits with those of other magazines
and they renew their pledge to the public, to
strive for still higher excellence in the future.
A considerable demand has recently arisen
in England for st. Nicholas, Scribner's New
Magazine for BOYS and Girls, one publisher
desiring to secure an edition of three thou
sand of the first bound volume (when com
pleted), with his imprint.
The success of St. Nicholas in this country
has been even more remarkable than that OF
Scribner's Monthly. 1t is pronounced to be
an ideally perfect Magazine for children,
and, as is the case with all the best litera-
ture for children, it has been found to possess
surprising interest for grown up readers, as
we'll
The influence of the periodicals of the day
can scarcely be estimated, especially upon
the rising generation. Parents and teachers
cannot afford to be Indifferent to this inhu-
ence, or careless in relation to the character
of the literature furnished to the children
outside of their school lessons In st. Mich
olas not only are History, Natural Philoso
phy Literature, Fine Arts, and Manufactures
presented in an attractive way to young
readers, but the children are stimulated to
/ seek information for themselves.
/ The Publishers will send to any address a
! specimen number of St. Nicholas, postage
pre- paid, on receipt of ten cents, the bare
cost of paper and printing. The magazines
are sod by all frst-class Booksellers and
! Newsdeaers, everywhere.
