The Magazines.

A New York correspondent of the
Chicago Times tells of rejected manu-
scripts and prices paid for those articles
accepted, as follows
The proportion of accepted to declined
articles is generally one to twelve or
fourteen one to thirteen being a fair
average. The common opinion is that
if a paper be well written, interesting
and on popular subject, it is almost
certain to be taken. This is a great
error. Editors always have from one to
two hundred just such manuscripts, and
the question with them is, not what is
really good but what they can afford to
decline. If contribution be pzrticu-
larly timely, original or striking, its
prospect is laltering. If it came from
an author having a vide reputation, or
happening to be in fashion, the same
may be said. If, however, it be from the
pen of a competent and experienced
scribe. with nothing special to recon-
mend either it or him, the MS. is very
likely to be returned with thanks
Every magazine has enough accepted
matter for two years ahead; so that it is
obvious that the temptation to increase
the supply is not irresistible. The month
lies here have been unusually crowded
OF late, and two OF them have decided
not to look at any more contributions
from outsiders They declare they are
well-nigh swamped with copy; that they
send back good deal without even a
cursory glance at it. Could the great

ivory gate of dreams. The World s
arithmetic man has shown that the
chances against ones holding thirteen
trumps at whist-omitting from the cal
culation any recognition OF the fact that
player cannot hold thirteen trumps
save on his own DEAL which only takes
place once in four deals-are so great
that if all the paleolithic men
had sat down to play, and shuffled
and dealt once a minute without inter-
mission for meals or sleep, or Interrupt
tion by catacysms, death, destruction or
the deluge, they would to-day be much
less than half way to the desired hand.

seen that the odds in favor Of his dreams

SPECIAL NOTICE.

Dr.. SoHESoK's PULMoSIo SYRUP. SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medi-
cines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are COM
pounded OF vegetable Ingredients. and con-
tain nothing which can be injurious to the
Human constitution. Other remedies adver-
tised as cures for Consumption. probably con-
tain opium. which is somewhat dangerous
drug in all cases. and If taken freely by con-
sumptive patients, it must do great injury;
for its tendency is to confne the morbid mat
ter in the system, which. of course, must
make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic
SyruP is warranted not to contain particle
of opium II is composed of powerful but
harmless herbs, which act on the lungs. liver,
stomach, and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secretions. and expel all the diseased mat
ter from the body. These are the only means
by which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic.
and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, ii is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable
medicine is accompanied by full directions.

Boys.

Man has been called featherless
biped; also a forked radish Enthusiastically
cut A boy may be described as an un-
ripe man or an overgrown baby. There
are many varieties of boys, among which
are found the good boy, the bad boy, the
big boy, the little boy, the wild boy, the
fat boy, the tom boy, the fast boy aud the
Bowery boy. The good boy is at present
almost extinct. There are many boys
who are very good while they are sick,
while attending funerals, and above all,
when sleeping. A conscience OF caout-
chouc might perhaps consider them good
boys. The bad boy is fellow who will
bear watching. When he has done
wrong he should be corporally rebuked
with a good dose of Soloman's birch
tonic.
One of these bad boys has been trying
to find virtuous stage driver. His test
is to hit the driver in the head with a
turnip or potato; then il he swears, he is
bad man; if not, he is very virtuous.
The said boy has tested 6fty-six drivers,
and found but one virtuous man. That
man was dumb. The little fellow is he
who runs errands, tells tales, every morn
ing before breakfast, pulls the cats tail
until she gives him token of her affec-
ton on the hand or cheek, and never uses
his pocket handkerchief, They big boy
is that importantindividual who ''bssses"
the little fellow at every opportunity,
and is very fond of displaying his own
vast learning.
The wild boy is the most difficult to
manage, for he is not bad boy-that is,
he does not lie, steal, or swear. He only
allows his large stock of animal spirits
full play-and sometime they play the
mischief. He means no harm, but does
a great deal. He enjoys good health,
thinks principally of his own fun; can't
keep still, eats green apples, has awful
coics, cuts up a broom and put the
whisps into your bed, spills molasses
upon the seats of the chairs, forgets to
clean his teeth eight mornings out of
seven, and always has four or FIVE dis
tnct coats of real estate upon his hands
and face. The real fat boy always does
two things enorgetically, steadily, and
well, namely eat AMI sleep. Other
things are of no great Importance to him,
except the luxury OF good fire, perhaps.
The tom boy is a snare and delusion.
He is not a boy at all. de is a girl, and
we are not discussing girls.
As a general thing, the fast boy is only
ini our large cities. He is the citizen
who smokes fine cigars, expectorates
freely, wear Aashy clothes, drives fast
horses and drinks himself into an early
grave. He may be seen almost any fine
day walking on Broadway or Fifth Av-
enue Don't lend him any money if you
wishto hear from it again.
Lastly, we have the Bowery boy, or
Corner Statue" as he has been called
He seems to labor under the impression
that lamp posts are erected for him to
lean against, that sidewalks are made
for him to moisten with the juice of the
tobacco quid He never wears a collar,
has an inherited antipathy to all kinds
ofbraces or suspenders. boasts how much
whisky he can imbibe, and is, altogether,
a very lovely (2) creature. .-ErchGRge
