SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY
for IS77.,7S.

Without recalling the excellence Of the past,
the publishers OF Scribner's Monthly announce
for the wear to come the following papers:
THE PICTURESQUE SIDE OF AMERIC AN
FARM LIFE.-This subject will be treated in
q series OF separate papers engaged from wri-
ters who stand in the front rank among Ameri-
cans, both in qualities Of style and in keen in
sight OF nature. Mr.. Il. e. Robinson, author
Of q delightful paper on Fox-Hunting in New
England IN the January number, will represent
the same section in this series. John Burrows,
whose papers on similar topics have been a
highly priced and popular feature OF Scribner,
will write Of Farm Life in New York. Maurice
Thompson, the poet-nsturalist, 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 character, commensurate with the
subject matter. Ii is thought that no paper or
series Of papers yet issued in Scribner will so
fully realize the constant desire of the maya
zine to keep out OF the ruts, and, both IN text
and illustrations, to obtain quality rather than
quantity, and to print fresh, strong and delicate
work from original sources.
ROXY,-by Edward Eggeston, (author OF the
Hoosler Schoolmaster, &c.o This new novel
Will doubtless be the most important American
serial of the year. The first number was pub
lished in November. Those who have read 1t in
manuscript declare Roxy to be much the most
striking and remarkable story this author has
ever written. 1t is illustrated by one Of the
ablest of the younger American painters-Mr.
Walter Shirlaw, President OF The American Art
Association.

novel and entertaining OF these papers are yet
to appear, the scenes OF which will be in ths
