more full of interest than just at this time, when so many important questions in politics, theology, and philosophy are agitating the minds of all thinking persons in England and on the Continent. (See advertisement in New England Advertiser.)

THE RIVERSIDE MAGAZINE.-This new magazine for young folks, of which the first number has appeared, bids fair to provide abundant entertainment as well as instruction to the class for whom it is designed. The editor, Mr. Scudder, is a gentleman in every way qualified for his task. He can write well for boys, as well as for men, and no one need fear that anything offensive to taste or morals will gain admission to his pages. The admirable cat story, entitled "The Neighbors," in the present number, is from his pen.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.-We have spoken before of this Magazine, which is published by Messrs. Ticknor and Fields, of Boston. It is now entering upon its third year; and its conductors seem never wearied in furnishing new attractions for the great army of boys and girls who watch each month for its coming. The price of subscription for a year is 82.

THAT GOOD OLD TIME.*-This is a fine book for boys. It is written in a healthy tone, and, abounding in lively accounts of outof-door adventures and sports at the sea-side, deserves a welcome from the class to whom it is addressed.
