SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY FOR
I877-'78.

I0//-I0,
Without recalling the excellence of the past, the
publishers of SENTIMENTS MONTHLY announce,
for the year to come, the following papers:
The PicturssqueS Side ofAmerlcan
Farm Life-This subject Will be treated in
series of separate papers engaged from writers
who stand in the front rank among Americans,
both in quality and style and in keen insight Of
nature. MIR. r. +. Robinson, author of a delight
full paper on "FON-Hunting In New England" in
the January number, will represent the same sec.
ton in-this series John Burroughs, whose pa.
pers on similar topics have been a highly priced
and popular feature of SCRBSER will write of
Farm Life IN New York. Maurice Thompson, the
pOet-naturalist, will describe the characteristics of
Western farming, of which but little has been
written. II Is expected that the illustration Ofths
series will be of Il refined and typical character,
commensurate with the subectmatter II is
thought that no series Of papers yet issued in
SCBIBNER will 80 fully realize the constant desire
Of the magazine to keep out of the ruts, and, both
in text and Illus uutiOns, to obtain quality rather
than quantity, and to print fresh, strong and deli
cate work from original sources
"Roxy,"-By EDWARD EGGLEsTON (au.
thor of "The lIooscr SchOomaster," &C.) This
new novel will doubtless be the most important
American serial of the year. The first number

read il in manuscript declare ROXY b be much the
most striking and remarkable story this author
has ever written. II is illustrated by one of the
aDles1 of the younger American painters - Mr..
Walter Shirlaw, President of THE American Art
Association"
American Sports. - Some of the most
novel and entertaining of these papers are yet to
appear, the scenes of which will be in the West,
the Middle States, the South, New England and
Canada.
