Harper's Monthly Magazine and Young People continue to be worthy
of their high reputation. Mr. Blackmore's new story, " Springhaven," which le running in the former, and which de- picts the England that successfully resisted the first Napoleon, promises to be as good as anything that has recently come from the same pen. Under the title of "Their Pilgrimage," Mr. Dudley Warner gives a very lively account, slightly tinged, perhaps, with caricature, of American summer jnuntings. "The New York Exchange," a profasely illustrated article, is one of those papers taking us behind the scenes of commercial life on the other side of the Atlantic for which this magazine is noted. The illustrations in Young People, more especially the pictures of animals, are admirably executed. There is, perhaps, a trifle too much of letterpress, and some of it is more fitted for old than for young readers. The stories are, on the whole, very good.
