Periodical Literature.

PERIODICAL LITERATURE .

Tinsleys' offers a very attractive programme this month . The serial stories aro still running fcbeir course , and , in addition , thero aro two short tales , and "a Psychological Problem , " which are sure to lincl great favour -with tho public . The latter is well contrived , and the conclusion is highly dramatic . The former aro entitled " An Old Maid ' s Story" and "A Lamo Proposal . " Mr . Vandam contributes a

sketch of " Prince Bismarck's Mother , " and Mr . W . TV . Fenn a very amusing picture of " Rustic Relatives " when on a visit to London ; tho energy they exhibit , the amount of hard work they aro capable of enduring , and tho enthusiasm they display on all occasions . However , Mr . Fenn points out , at tho close of his paper , that it is a question whether the delight they take in seeing everything is

Dot far ¦ worthier of imitation than the affected indifference of the trained metropolitan . "VVe have no doubt , whatever , on this point . There would bo moro reality in London life if it were less distinguished by an affectation of indifference . Tho following we have selected for quotation from the poetic contributions which , as usual , exhibit much merit : —

" Phillis selects a younger swam , And seeing me look vexed , Says , ' Him I love in this world ; you Alone , dear , in the next . ' " 'Tis true I ' ve got eternity , He , time ; but when they kiss ,

And bill and coo , I sometimes think I'd change my chance for his . " His love is earthly , of tho earth . — Mine is Platonic , skiey ; But , then , he ' s in possession , while I ' m put off—sine die . "

Cassell ' s Family Magazine is of the nsual character . The two serial stories aro completed . " Paul Knox , Pitman " concludes , as wo must have expected . May Gwynn is proved to be May Hastings , and Lady Elizabeth is consequently as anxious to secure her son Percy's marriage with tho heroine as before she was desirous of preventing it . So with the consent of everybody they are married

aud happy . May naturally continues tbe same affection towards Mr . Gwynn , the old schoolmaster , who had adopted her , and Paul Knox seeks a home abroad , but before starting takes leave of May and his fellow-miners , and departs amid loud manifestations of regret . "Stone Steps and Wooden Stairs , " the other of the serials is likewise brought to a satisfactory conclusion , and it only remains

for us to congratulate the authors of these stories on their successful conception and carrying out . " Paul Knox , Pitman " is the more interesting ; it is a more ambitious , more intricate story . Its progress is marked by more stirring incidents and there is perhaps more art shown in its construction . Still , tho companion tale is well written , the principal characters are naturally drawn , and in

many parts there is skilful handling and some delicate descriptive writing . Mr . G . Manville Fenn contributes " Two Cobwebs : an Old Man ' s Tale , " and the author of " A Eace for Life " explains " Why the Light Went Out . " Then there is the usual batch of useful and instructive papers , such , for example , as "How the Stock Exchange is Managed , " " What is Produced by Heat , " " Some Neglected

Articles of Food , " House-Linen ; its Wear and Tear , " and " The Value ' of Simple Remedies . " The paper on " Women , who have risen " is meagre , Mrs . Somerville being the only one whose career is described at length . Moreover , it seems to ns tho title is a mistake . Most of the women were born in a fair position iu life , whereas we connect with "risen" the idea that they achieved

distinction in the way of rank . "Illustrious Women , " or " Women who havo distinguished themselves" would havo met the case better . There is a short yet effective poem by Mr . W . A . Gibbs entitled " The Child and the Man : a Contrast , " and the Gatherer furnishes his quantum of useful and interesting notes . Most of the engravings are praiseworthy .

In the Countries of the World , after leaving the Indian Territory , we find ourselves in Louisiana and visit the City of New Orleans . Thence making our way to Texas wc take our way in a north-easterl y direction , traversing Maryland , Virginia , North and South Carolina , & c ., & c . The principal illustrations are " Loading a Cotton Steamer , " "Election day in New Orleans , " aud "A Street in New Orleans , "

" Catching Wild Horses on the Prairies with the Lasso , " " The Bridge across the tho Potomac at Harper ' s Ferry ( from the Hill ) , " " View of Goshen Pass , Rockbridge County , Virginia , " and "View of the Port of Richmond , Virginia . " Many of the scenes described in the latter part of the nnmber must be familiar to our { . sabers j a connection with the great Civil "Ww . _^ -L 4 '~ - ' , >¦ . ^ _
