SCRIBNER,S MONTHLY FOR 1s77.7s.

Without recalling the excellence of the past,
the publishers of SCRIBNERs MONTHLY announce
for the year to come, the following papers:
THE PICTURESQUE SIDE OF AMERICAN
CAN FARM LIFE. This subject will be treated
in a series of separate papers engaged from writ
ers who stand in the frontrank among Americans,
both in qualities of style and in keen insight of
nature. Mr.. X. E. Robinson author of delight
full paper on : Fox 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 highly priced
and popular feature of SCRIBNER will write OF
Farm Life in New York. Maurice Thompson the
poet naturalist will decide 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 charac-
ter. commensurate with the subject matter. 1t is
thought that no paper or series of papers yet is
sued in ScRIBNER will so fully realize the constant
desire OF the magazine to keep out of of the ruts
and. both in text and illustrations. to obtain quail
ity rather than quantity. and to print fresh strong
and delicate work from original sources.
"ROXY,''-By Edward Egcleston (author of
= The Uoosier Scho"master,' &C.. This new
novel will doubtless he the most important Amer
lean 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 author has ev
written. 1t is illustrated by one of the ablest
of the younger American partnership. Walter
Shiraw. President OF The American Art Asso-
Ciation."
