st. Nicholas for Dseeshbsr has for its from
tispiece an entirely original and most charming
20 trait of Hans Christian Andersen, surround
ed by Several of the representative creations OF
his fancy, (which are Bet forth. with almost as
much delicacy ain Ms own word-pictures. 1t
is eminenuy fitting Chat SO perfect picture
shonld be made to illustrate an article as per-
feet; and thatsr does 80 N tits case can hard
ly be denied. No writer I'M this country is
better qualified to tell of Hans Christian An
dersen than Mr.. Boyesen, the Norwegian
novelist and the author of the article in the
DECEMBER number of 81. Nicholas. This cpntri-
button, indeed, is 4 prominent. valuable and
thoroughly fresh memorial Of the children s
poet, and is full of biographical anecdotes,
given in an entertaining manner. - =
OF the other contributions to the number,
perhaps the most noticeable are II. IS poem
of The Legend of St. Nicholas, with its ex-
quiste illustration the article Something A
bout Railroads, and giving details Of the his;
tory, construction and management OF the
railway; and the long contribution on ORe
Hundred Christmas Presents, and How to A6te
Them. 10
As for other attractions, Mr.. Brooks serial,
The Boy Emigrants, grows, in interest, and
power as we make oursslow advapce with thu
boys across the Western prafries Sandy. The
Hunchback, gives US change of air, and a
pathetic picture of poor, MANNED boys life
among the braes of Scotland; even farther
still we go to witness the interesting and pecu-
liar observance Of ST. Nicholas, Day IN Ger.
many and on our return we stop just shortsol
our native shores to meet Mr.. Trowbridge's
sporting characters, Joe and Bonwig, and ex.
perience the delight of hunting dpcks with
them, upon Il little island. Frank and the
Toad a novel mock-trial, and the poem of a
Dead Doll are sure to bring laugh with them
and Mrs. Dodge has one of her charming
rhymes, with a maryelouSly beautiful ilustra.

To simply glance through the Decembel
number of ST. Nicholas is at least toz confess
that never before has literature for children
reached so high level.
