Literary Note.

A most suggestive and beautiful pic
ture OF Spring, in the form of lovely
woman arrayed in the latest fashion
and standing in an Easter egg, which
forms a chariot, TO which are harnessed
the traditional rabbits, makes the cover
of the Easter number Of the New York
Ledgcr a thing OF beauty, The con-
tents of this number are also fresh and
seasonable. Miss HolieY ("Josiah Al
lens Wife") tells New England story,
''Serena's Sacrifice, in characteristic
and delightful way. Sir Edwin Ar
nold's poem, ITO a Pair Of Egyptian
Slippers" is reprinted. An article on
the "Grayes Of Schubert, Mozart and
Beethoven" will interest all lovers OF
these great musicians. ''The Bicycle
as a Pm jsician," "Napoleon's Attempt
ed Escape from St. Helena" How 10
Promote Marriage" are interesting
miscellaneous articles. A new serial
by Mrs. E. y. E. y. Southworth, enti'
tied The Rejected Bride" is com
menced. The other serials are By Mrs.
Amelia E. Barr and w. Heimburg.
"The Woman's World" contains much
that is especially interesting, and the
Illustrations of this number are numer'
Gus and good. How such a paper as
the Easter Number of the New York
LEDGER can be produced for five cent:
is a puzzle which we invite our reader;
to solve.
