English Illustrated Magazine.

The February number has just
appeared, and it keeps up the position
that the periodical has held from the
first, as one of the first magazines of the
country. 1t contains the conclusion of
Miss Rose KingsIey's pleasant paper on
Snakespeare's Country; the conclusion
of Mr. H. A. Jones rambling paper on
The Dramatic Outlook; and the conclu-
sion of Mr. Wilkie Collins story, The
Girl at the Gate. Mr.. Hugh Conway's
eurrentserial ,SAI Family Affair, which
Is beyond his average, is continued, and
there are two papers whiehare complete
in this numper, Naworth Castle, by Mr..
Creighton, and In South italian
Taverna, by Mr.. Charles Grant Miss
Kingsley's gos;ipy sketch is enliyened
by a1passage from the diary of
Thomas Green, the cousin of Shakes
peare, clerk of the Corporation of
STRAIT. ord. M Greene writes from. London:
"16l4, JoYis II, No. My cousin Shake
speare coming yesterday to town, 1 went
to see him, how he did. He told me
that they assured him they meant to
inclose, no further than to Gospel Bush,
and so up ST. aight (leaving out part of
the Dingles to the field), to the gate in
Clopton hedge and take in Salisbury's
piece, and, that they mean in April to
survey the land and then give satisfac-
ton, and not before; and he and Mr..
Hall say they think there will be
nothing done at ALL" The great charm
of Miss Kingsley's paper will be found,
at least by American readers, in the
half dozen Illustrations. by Mr. Alfred
Parsons, which are joyous glimpses of
the fields lanes and old houses in Shake
speare's country. The illustrations in
the paper of Mr.. Jones are of great the
atrical interest, and are sure to be pre-
Irving and Miss Ellen Terry.

Art Notes. IRE

Mr.. Hamilton Gibson's exquisite illus.
trations are too well known to call fol-
comment Among the most tender OF
them are two designs published by
Prang as Valentines, in which BIRDS and
sunny blossoms are living in the very
fdeai of Love. The same idea, ex-
pressed in many ways, calls for special
pleading at this seasons, and we find it
eloquently expires sed by many of the
most popular artists and designers.
Walter Satterlee, who always meets
public taste, eonceiyes it in designs
wherein little children figure largely.
1t is idle to talk of the waning ofinterest
in Valentines, The old truth yet pro-
claims itself in new guise, and we are
all the slaves of the god of love in some
shape or other.

4 GEOPGLi SCENE.

Carersvi'l., ga } American.
:. While in Andairsville recently /
saw something that struck me as
very unusual and strange. Quite
party Of gentleman were sitting
around the stove in Bibb 4 Elroi's
store when little boy about five
wears old entered He was q quiet
looking little fellow and there was a
peculiar expression on his face.
Cant you preach for us, Claude?"
asked one of the party. 1t seemed
that he vas used to that and without
any hesi.a,ioh he placed a chair for
n pulpit. and took two little books
that were handed him, and pulled off
his hat for business Before saying
word he knelt by his chair in secret
PRAYER for moment. He then arose
and after lacking carefully through
on. of the little books he announced
the number of his hymn. gave it out in
language that was lisping aud hard
to understand. aud then sang it
through all alone. He then knelt
again by his chair and prayed-this
time aloud-but in words that no
one could understand. He took q
text from one of his hooks, and for
eight or ten minutes he preached
with much earnestness aud spirit.
The little audience Was profoundly
quiet and not aisnile fitted over any
face.
To me il was peculiarly solemn
scene. There was a strange light Ill
the little fellows eyes AID peculiar
glow on his face "a he preached. He
was scarcely As high a. the chair be-
hind which he stood, and yet he WAS
composed and easv IN his manners
sat there watching him and won
derinc what mysterious power was
IN wing him. His child voice rang
out in way that stilled the crowd %
loafers into q solemn and almos
painful silence. We could not catcl
the meaning Of his baby words tha
were 40 broken and lisping, but W.
could zee the flash of his black eye
and feel the power Of his presence

the -ub,ect has been too eloquently
treated by the sweetest poets and the

to dismiss him. In few minutes q
