MAY MAGAZINES.
THE RECORD OF THE YEAR


This is novelty in the way of maga-
zine literature, the first number of which
appeared last month. The number is re-
ceived and we are pleased to be able to
say that it's contents are all the pub
fishers promised for it.
The object of the Record is to present
to the public the current events of the
month and year, domestic aud foreign,
in an orderly, compact and convenient
form; and besides, to permanently pre-
serve the otherwise perishable offspring
OF journalistic talent. Articles OF gen.
eraI interest from the leading daily and
weekly papers, editorial, literary and
local, the innumerable paragraphs OF
every description that we all love to
read, are thus rescued from probable
oblivion and offered to the reading world
in most attractive style.
An inspection OF the table of contents
OF this present number will be really
glad surprise for the reader, ana his
pieasurable expectations will be fully
realized by perusal of its pages. There
he will find all the news of each day
carefully compiled, condensed, yet COM
prehenslVe; select editorial extracts, in
which the many exciting topics of the
times are so pleasantly discussed; scraps
OF popular wit, humor, poetry and ticJion;
the miscellany, that, IN elegant variety,
constitutes the literary columns OF every
first-class Journal. These, and many
other things not possible to enumerate,
he will find, furnishing him with abund-
ant entertainment and instruction tor
his leisure hours. Another striking fea-
Lture is the finely y-executed steel engraved
portraits OF some one of our eminent
public men, authors, statesmen, divines,
euc., which will accompany each number.
The likeness of Mr.. Moody, the great re-
vivalist, is given this month. and one of
Mark Twain, the humorist, is preparing
for June.
The publishers deserve the thanks of
| the great American public for thus sup
plying desideratum in our monthly lit
erature. 1t 10 certainly q worthy enter
| tefprise that ought to ana will receive a
cordial support. Eachnumber contains
about one hundred and twenty-five
pages, and it is sent to subscribers at So
per annum, price which Is OF itself an
other and very important element Of sue
cess. Published by Messrs. Charleton
q Co., New York. For sale by RoberI
