STEVENSON & CROSS.
SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY FOR 1878.

Without recalling the excellence of the past,
the publishers Of Scribner's Monthly announce,
I for the year TO come, the following papers
! The PIcTURIsoyE SIDE OF AMERICAN FAM
LFE.-This subject will 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 4 delightful pa
per on "Fox Hunting in New England" in the
! January number, viii represent the same section
i in this series. John Burroughs, whose paper
similar topics have been highly priced and pop
ular feature of ScTibner, 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. 1t is expected that the illustration Of
this series will be Of refined and typical chsrao-
ter, commensurate with the subject-matter. IL
| is thought that no paper series Of papers vet
issued in Scribner will so fully realize the con-
stan, 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.

read it in manuscript declare Roxy to be much
the most striking and remarkable story 5his au-
thor has ever written. tits illustrated BY one Of
the ablest of the younger American Painters-Mr.
