Probably no novel which has ever ap-
peared in an American magazine has
been more deliberately illustrated by
more distinguished artists. A clever
story of another kind is that of the new
English novelist. Gilbert Parker, in the

The May Magazines.

FAIRIES, Covenanters, wolves, ghosts
and dancing puddings figure one after
another, each rivaling its predecessor
in lively interest, in the pages of Ro.
nance. The special feature is stories
of Scotland and Ireland, and the most
characteristic writers of those coun-
tries have been drawn upon for contri-
buttons. A thrilling account of a Rus
sian wolf hunt, some charming Ere nch
love stories, and an exciting tale of old
Indian warfare in New England, fill
out most entertaining number. This
magazine is issued by Romance Pub.
fishing Company, Clinton Hall, Aston
Place, New York.
The Century Company will show in
their exhibit at the Columbian EXPOSE
ton great number of interesting
original manuscripts and drawings for
important illustrations in The Century
and st. Nicholas. Manuscript poems
by Tennyson, Longfellow, Whittier and
Bryant will appear in the st. Nicholas
exhibit, with the manuscript of the
first chapter of "Little Lord Faunt-
leroy" by Mrs. Burnett, and orig
inal stories by other wel-known
writers. Letters from General Grant
to the editors of The Century regarding
his papers for the war series-the last
from Mt. McGregor-will be exhibited,
with original manuscripts by Generals
Mcclellan, Joseph E. Johnston and
others.
THE Ne,o England Magazine con-
tains paper describing the relations of
Phillips Brooks and Harvard Univer-

is accompanied with illustrations, which
show The familiar haunts of Brooks
while at Cambridge. A paper on
" Milton as an Educator" by Phillips
Brooks, is also in this number. Celia
Thaxter contributes a poem setting
forth the claims of Indian corn as the
national emblem. Julie M. Lippmann,
the brilliant young essayist, poet and
story-writer, of Brooklyn, N. Y, con-
tributes short story, 1.-The Meeting

The Boys.

You can't keep boys quite straight,
you know. They must have a chance
to SOW their wild oats" Must? A
word from Satan's vocabulary! Look
ahead few years. There he goes
young boyl swearing, staggering,
coarse, obscene! You hope he will
marry and sober down! Yes, if some
pure girl will pour the fulness of her
sweet life into the turbid stream of his,
there is bare chance that he may be
saved. How much better to have trained
him to the right, when you had him I'M
der your hands! In the outset he was
not unlike his sister in morals. You
hold her to the proprieties and decen-
cies, while you let him run at his own
will in paths of misdeed. Now, in pu-
rity of life, they are leagues apart.
There are as many boys as there are
girls in the infant class of our Sunday
schools; but not one-half as many boys
as girls in the Bible classes. Women out
number men in the church two to one.
In the state prison men outnumber
women fifty to one. This sad proper
tion tells its own story.-Gospel Teacher.

Good Advice.

We overheard a conductor on train,
the other day, counseling casual ac-
quaintance, a young girl, after the fol-
lowing fashion, avowiDg at the same time
that he was not religious, but only "a
decent sort of railroad NAM: "Never
go to dance--there is always harm in
it. 1t has proved many time the first
step toward ruin for both men and
women. Not while l live would l
allow daughter of mine to go. know
too much about the harm there is in it
to allow daughter of mine to dance"
Not long before that we heard man
who for years had been a consistent
Christian, but who had been before
conversion very dissipated, say in
prayer-meeting, 81 wish could make
others see as plainly as do the evil of
card playing. l have tested tit led
me down almost to hell. 1t brought

FlOssie's Fancies.

Flossie was spending month in the
country, and the second evening after
her arrival she was taken out to see
the milking. "Well," she said, when
a glass of warm milk was handed her,
that's the first time ever saw a milk
wagon with four legs" Hens and eggs
were objects of interest to her, also,
but she did not see turkey until she
had made the rounds of the hennery,
and then she frightened up great old
gobbler in the melon patch. He make
rush for the fence and she fell over a
watermelon. "What's that, Flossiep"
inquired her mother. C. don't know"
she said, as she brushed her dress, but
guess it's the kind of hen that lays
watermelons. "-DetrOit Free Press.

CURRENT LITERATURE.
New Books.

JACK, JR.," by Sally Campbell,
has been received from the Congrega-
tional Sunday-school and Publishing
Society, Boston. The book is for boys.
The author knows all sorts and condi.
tions OF boys very thoroughly and has
made use of this knowledge to bring
into this book several very lifelike
characters. The story of the school
life of "Jack, Jr., with its record of
manly Christian character and kindly
helpfuness, forms the larger part of the
book. Every boy who reads it will be
sure to profit by it,
UNDER the title of GA Cathedral
Courtship," Kate Douglas Wlggin has
given the public delightful volume
written in her happiest vein. Under
the guise of story in which the hero
Inc and maiden aunt visit the English
cathedral towers, the writer gives, with
great vigor and remarkably full infor-
nation, much that cnalle ages careful
study of English types of character.
a dash OF romance makes the little
volume so attractive that one is 10th
to lay it down until the last page is
read. Houghton, Mlfllin & Co., Boston.
"DoNALD MARCY " is the title of an
attractive story written by Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, just issued by Houghton,
Miff1in Il Co. from the Riverside Press.
Cambridge. Those who are familiar
with the works of this gifted author
need not be told of the attractive way
in which she follows the fortunes of
Donald, the hero of the story, through
his college life. 1t is no exaggeration
to pronounce this work far above the
average of stories of this kind, and it is
confidently believed that lovers of
wholesome literature will find in it
much to admire.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. is the title
OF the last addition to the american
Statesman " Series, edited by John T.
Morse, Jr., and published by Houghton,
Miff1in u Co., Boston. The story of
the life of the great emancipator is told
in two volumes, sixteenmo, of nearly
400 pages each, attractively bound. In
writing the life of Abraham Lincoln
the biographer must write also the his
tory of the war of the rebellion. 50
these volumes contain in clear COM
pact form the story both of Lincoln's
life and the origin, progress and final
suDJectlon OF the great slavery rebel
lion. The story is told with sufficient
degree of fulness for the general reader,
and particularly for the younger class of
readers, for whom, we imagine, the
" American Statesman " Series is pri-
marily designed. The style of writing
is simple, but strong and vivid, awaken.
ing and holding the interest of the
reader, young or old. The narrative is
sufficiently full for general purposes and
the story is the graphic and connected
relation of events that constitute
mighty epoch in the history, not only
of America, but of the whole world
also. To individuals or to librarians
we heartily commend these volumes.
No public or private library should be
without either this life of Lincoln, or
the other volumes of the splendid
series. Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Bos-
ton. Each volume gilt top, S1.25
each. Half morocco, $3.50 each.

Pest-Office Business in New York.

The most interesting details which
can be told of the New York post-oflice
relate to the amount of business trans
acted in each division, for only in this
manner can true idea of the impor-
lance of this office be obtained. l have
already given the grand totals, but
these are made up of many interesting
items. For instance, the international
money orders received and certified to
Europe in 1891 numbered nearly
million, and aggregated nearly sixteen
and half millions of dollars. The
European country with which the New
York post Office had the largest trans
actions through its money-order depart.
ment was Great Britain, the items
amounting to nearly half million.
The Bahamas were at the foot of the
list, with only ffty-eight items. The
total number of items in the registry
department was e,273,659. Nearly three
hundred million items of mail matter
were handled by carriers, and the sale
of postage stamps, stamped envelopes,
etc., amounted to S6,30S ,012.96. Nearly
thirty million letters were forwarded to
and nearly twenty-four million received
ilOuh loiOiSh COuhIIlcS-Iu6 NtW OTk
post-office easily handled over three
fourths of our foreign mail. We should
lose faith in the intelligence of the
human race on learning that in this
one office 602, 1893 misdirected and in
sufficiently addressed letters were re-
ceived, did we not learn at the same
time that 505,074 of these letters were
corrected and forwarded by other men,
bers of the human race. The items of
mail matter handled averaged for each
day 930, 707, and the number of pouches,
1926, the aggregate for the year
being 42S, 973,550 letters, and 3,770, 450
pouches. The postmaster receives a
salary of $4,000 year-a very small
sum when the business of the Office is
considered. But then he doesn't have
to receive, face, post-mark, sort, and
distribute every letter himself. In fact,
he doesn't even drive a mail wagon.
For he spent 81 1852, 834.92 in 1891 for
clerk hire, and an express company
does the carting under contract

A Grateful Boy.

Little children teach those of larger
growth many lesson. Would that
older people were always as thoughtful
for their blessingsl Little B. had
just recovered from tedious illness
and was wild as colt with the pleasure
of being out again. The other day he
was invited to picnic and came home
trimming over with the happiness he
had enjoyed. That night, when he
said his prayers as usual at his aunt's
knee, he added on his own accord: 81
thank thee for giving that picnic and
letting me 60 to it."-Ne,0 York Trib-
