NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Monthly Nag
azine for December is indeed an elegant
Christmas number. The fine oil picture,
Shedding" represents snow scene in the
time Of the French Directory. 1t is a work
of art worth several times the cost of the
Magazine. The beautiful photo engraving,
1.-THE Holy Mother" is exquisitely done,
and appeals to every heart at this Christmas
tide. ACROSS the Continent" by Jennie
June is profusely illustrated, the name of
the author being enough to recommend it,
as her graphic pen produces nothing but
what is good. Demorest's Monthly is FORUM
ate in having such an editress, for under her
direction a magazine is produced that no
lady can afford to be without, for it certainly
contains the essentials of all others, being
eminently a family magazine from which
any lady can get all the information she may
require on any subject, even to all the pat
terms she may wish to use during the year,
as each number entities the holder to q
selection of any pattern i'll that number and
in any size manufactured. This is the big
gest 50 worth that can be found. The pub.
Usher is w. Jennings Denorest, Il East 18th
St., New York.

volume of l59 pages, comprising all the
productions of one of the sweetest and ten
derest American poets, is on our table. D.
Lothrop & Co.. Boston, publishers.
Volume ~ of Alden's Cyclopedia OF
Universal Literature is certainly work OF
extraordinary popular interest and it wou,d
be very strange if at its low price it should
not receive an immense circulation. Though
it is to extend probably to 10 volumes, and
| will include representative selections with
biographical sketches) from nearly 1000 Of
the most famous authors of the world of al
ages and all nations, yet it is easily within
the reach of anyone able to invest so small O
sum as 10 cents a week.
The fourth volume of this excellent
cyclopedia is the richest, so far. 1t goes from
Gable to Clarke For some reason
known only to Gallon and other curious
writers, the letter c is apparently favorable
to genius. Here we find such poets a:
| Cedmon, Calderon, Callimachus, Camoens
Campbell and Chatterton we listen to sucl
preachers as Chalmers. Chrsysostom ant
Chaplin Carlyle and Clarendon dispute fol
the honors Of history; Calvin wears the
laurels of the incompatible theologian
although Cheever. Chillingworth Charming
and Cicero bears off the palm for oratorv
! while CaxtOn sets up his printy- press il
Westminster, and a few pages after, Cervante'
launches the immortal Don Quixote" Thi.
| is delightful volume, with something in j
to suit every taste.-National Baptist, Phila
delphia.
The general excellence of this valuabl,
work is fully maintained in the volume JUS
received The marvellous cheapness of thi:
edition has placed it within the reach of many
who are oyerjoyed to call such a work thei
own.-Orgonian, Portland, Oregon.
The present volume has eighty subjects, o
| whom twenty are American, which show:
the attention given to American literature
The undertaking should receive the supper
of everyone having occasion for reference t.
authors; and the favor Of the great public
that by means of it can secure its best genera
view of the worlds literaturc.-Thc Globe
Boston, Mass.
