sCRIBNER'S MONTHLY FOR 1878.

Withour recalling the excellence of the past,
| the publishers of Scribner's Monthly announce,
for the year to come, the following papers:
| TIE PIcruREsouE SIDE or AMERICAN FARM
LuE.-This subject wfll Be treated in series of
separate papers engaged from writers who stand
| in the front rank among Americans, both IN
qualities Of style and in keen insight of nature.
Mr. R. E. Robinson, author Of a delightful pa
per on "Fox Hunting IN New England" in the
| January number, will represent the same section
in this series. John Burroughs, whose paper on
/ similar topics have been a highly priced and pop
ular feature Of Scrlbner, will write of Farm Life
| in New York M-arice Thompson, the poet
naturalist, will describe the characteristics of
Western farming, of which but little has been
written. 1t is expected that the illustration of
this series will be Of refined and typical sharac
/ ter, commensurate with the subiecr-matter. 1t
is thought that no paper or series of papers yet
/ issued in Scribner will so fully realize the con-
slant desire of the magazine to keep out of the
ruts, and, both in text and Illustrations, to OBJ
tain quality rather than quantity, and to print
| fresh, strong and delicate work from original
| sources.
"RoxY, by Edward EgglestOn (author Of
'The Hoosier Schoolmaster," Sc. This new
novel will doubtless be the most important
American serial of the year. The first number
was published in November. Those who have
read it in manuscript declare Roxy to be much
the most striking and remarkable story this
thor has ever written. 1t illustrated by one of
the ablest of the younger American Painters-Mr.
Walter Shirlaw, President of "The American
| Art Association"
AMERIcEN SPoRTs-Some Of the most novel
and entertaining these papers are yet to appear,
the scenes of which will be in the West, the
Middle States, the South, New England and
| Canada.
OuT-oF-DooR PAPERS, by John Burroughs,
author of "Wake Robin,' &c, will contain not
only articles on Birds, but on "Tramping,'
"CamPing Out" and kindred topics. Mr.. Bur
roughs's papers will begin in the January num-
Der, the first being entitled "Brds and Birds"
and illustrated by Fidelia Bridges.

TO draw upon for the illustration OF these papers

uses.
