Such very dissimilar papers as "Why are we Coquettes ?"

and "The Higher Education of Women" may appear out of place in such a miscellany as Chambers's Journal. But no fault ought to be found with this evergreen magazine, the contents of which are as varied and entertaining as ever they were. In the March number, "Some 03d Advertisements," " Scottish Humour and Character " (although we fancy we have seen some of the anecdotes given here before), and above all, " Begging as a Fine Art," told by a clergyman in London, are especially good. "Richard Cable," a powerful story by the author of "John Herring," is now running its course in Chambers's Journal.
