New-York, and the Transatlantic recognition is
almost as general and hearty as the American
Although the progress OF the magazine has been
steady advance. IL has not reached its editors J.
IDEAS Of best, because her idea continually Outruns
it, and the magazine as swiftly follows after. To-
day ST.. NICHOLAS stands

The New York Tribune has said fit: Isl. Nick
olds has reached a higher platform, and con-
mands for its service wider resources in art and
letters than any of its predecessors or contempt

" There Is no magazine for the young that can be
said to equal this choice production Of Scribner's
