bly, the very finest issue OF children's
magazine ever published anywhere. In
makeup and contents it is specially
adapted to the season; and the great va.
riety and uniform excellence of its con-
tributions are indeed remarkable. All
classes OF articles are represented, anec-
dOte, adventure, description, sentiment,
fun, fancy; and each representative is
worthy to rank among the best Of its
kind. More than twenty articles by such
writers as Lucy L9rcom, Celia Thszter,
James 7. Fields, Mrs. A. d. 7. Whit
ney, Mrs. Dodge, Noah Brooks, Mrs.
Oliphant, Lucretia P. Hale, Abby Nor

| Monthly is in every respect the fulfill
ment of the promises ma de by its new
proprietors, that all the excelIencies
which contributed to secure it place
among the periodical literature of cur
country should be maintained, and new
features added from time that would in

good opinion we long ago expressed OF
! his abilities. "The Land of Sinim," by
A. P. Parker, is very readable and in
structive, though very short article. The
"Second Wife Of Napoleon" by Mrs.
Maria l.. Johnson, is a paper
of more than usual strength and

| full as it is forcible in its statements and
| just in its conclusions. The remainder
of the contents help 10 sus an the good

The "MIDsUMMER HOLIDAY
SCRIBNER fulfills the promise made by
the publishers announcement. A new
venture, it will, we hope, continue to
be one of the speclalties of favorite
magazine. The subjects dealt with have
an out-of-dOor interest and the illustra-
tons (of which there are nearly one
hundred) are quite in sympathy with
the text. There are five articles Of sum-
mer travel; the localities described be-
ing Niagara, Colorado, Nova Scotia, the
city of Trier on the Mcs2l, and Hide
snd-Seek Town, New England sum.

lightful language about birds, and Miss

so much admired in New York, has

toned to the weekly visits of this ele.
gantly printed and always instructive

so sorely that we can hardly reconcile
ourselves to change, which, while it
brings US four weeks fairly engrossed,
leaves wide gap of thirty days between
each issue. Yet, we ought not to grum-
ble with such table of contents before
US ss this for the August number, table
that for variety and interest lie all that
the most exacting reader could ask for.
