SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY FOR 1873.

Without recalling the excellence of the past,
the publishers of Scribner's Monthly announce,
for the year to come, the following papers:
The PICTURESQUE SIDE OF AMERICAN FARM
LITE-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 delightful pa
per on "Fox Hunting in New England" in the
January number, will represent the same section
in this series. John Burroughs, whose paper on
similar topics have been highly priced and pop
ular feature of Scrbner, will write of Farm Life
in New York. M-urice 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 charac
ter, commensurate with the subject-matter. 1t
is thought that no paper series of papers yet
issued in Scrbner will so fully realize the con-
slant 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.
"RoxY. by Edward Eggleston (author of
"The Hoosier Schoolmaster," &c). This new
novel will doubtless be the most important
American 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 au-
thor has ever written. Iii illustrated by one of
the ablest of the younger American painters
Walter Shirlaw, President of "The American
Art Association"
