The June Century has been received,
and is not only fully up to the standard
of that popular magazine, but shows
steady progress in improvement. This
number contains several handsomely IL
Illustrated articles, one of the main fea-
lures of the publication being prize en-
cravings, in which the magazine renews
the competition which it inaugurated
last year with such beneficial effect. In

the number is New England sea-faring
sketch entitled THE Story of the Alca-

We have also received the following
recent publications: "What is Brights
DiseaseP" by Seth Pencoast. M. D., of

authors ideas, and affording hope to
those suffering from the terrible maladY.
'Lorimer and Wife," a novel, by Mar
garet Lea very pretty domestic ro-
nance, decidedly of the society order.
A pleasant book with which to while
away few idle hours.

Longfellow. This well known work,
