CURRENT LITERATURE.

Aunt Judy's Magazine, for March. (George Bell and Sons.)— Grown people need not despise this thoughtful little periodical, though it be especially meant for young ones. "Mother Molly" increases in interest; and besides this, there is abundance to interest. Indeed, if possible, this number is almost too instructive. "The Dog in History" is exhaustive, but more like an encyclopzedia article than a paper for young people. We should like to find Aunt Judy a little lighter and more amusing than it is this month. The verses are an improvement on former poetry, but still halt a little in their rhythm. The "Alpha- betical Gardening Proverbs" are admirable, and claim particular attention just now.
