tive growth in art, beauty, and literature, from
month to month, as gratifying as it is wonder
full. "Superb" is the only word which fifty char

has stopped to drink from woodland brook on
its way home from the blacksmith's A dog on
the rustic bridge engages the attention of the
eldest boy. Van Elten's landscape shows n
charming stretch of country, and the ancient
city of Kingston, New York. Mr.. j. ID. Wood
