IaarDer's NIaEnZine,

HARPER's MAGAZINE for September
is distinguished, not only by the beauty
of its illustrations-ot which there are
nearly one hundred-and the interest
which attaches to every article in its
contents, but also by its remarkable va
riety-touching upon every field with
which it is possible for magazine to
concern itself For lovers of natural
scenery there are the admirably well H.
Illustrated papers on Prince Edward Is
lands and Mount Shasta. The scientific
reader has also DR.. John W. Draper's
exceedingly interesting papers on Their
mometers, with nineteen illustrations.
For those interested in art, there IS Mrs.
Helen S. Commits well considered and
entertaining paper on the .'Domestic
and Artistic Life of Titian," with seyen-
teen effective engravings. Especially
timely are the three papers devoted to
commercial and industrial interests. All
readers who are interested in our educa-
tional progress will find two very sugges-
tive and instructive papers in this num-
Der. Tho historical paper of the Num-
her is devoted to General Stark, and
the Battle of Bennington" and is effect
lively illustrated. Two articles of es-
pecially literary interest are contributed

by Park benjamin. Jr. Two beautifully
illustrated poems are contributed

ord, illustrated by Fredericks. and "The
Pastors Reverie," by Rev. Washington

is also beautiful anonymous sonnet,
"a Late Wild Rose" The five Editori-
al Departments make up, as usual, the
most interesting portion of the Number.
The Nursery,
Bright and sparkling as ever comes
promptly to hand. In no other way
can parents afford young children so
much amusement, and at the same time
benefit their minds as by placing the
Nursery before them. The publishers
