Harper's Young People, November, 1888 — November,1889. (Sampson

Low and Co.)—This is an old favourite which it is scarcely neces- sary to praise. It is an American journal, and shows all the enterprise and spirit which our friends across the Atlantic are wont to put into their catering for the wants of young readers, We may be permitted to suggest that it would be well to begin and end the serial stories with the volumes. But there ace plenty of good things which may be enjoyed without any drawback, things humorous and pathetic, fanciful and practical ; for this journal is made to suit various tastes.
