SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY. 1875 We invite the attention of the public to Scum- NER'S MONTHLY, which now deservedly ranks among the BEST ILLUSTRATED PERIODI CALS OF THE WORLD. The papers illustrative of American Scenery which have appeared in its pages, among which were included "The Wanders of the Yellowstone" and the "Grand Canon of the Colorado," have won wide-spread admiration on both sides of the At lantic; and "The Great South" articles, with their beautiful engravings, have been re-issued in book form in both Great Britain and America. For the coming year we have broader plans than ever before. The magazine will be enlarged, and there will be Three Remarkable Serial Stories by American "GABRIEL CONROY," BY BRET Of which the Boston Post says: "It is a serial that will make every new number of Scribner'e eagerly sought for, if it had nothing else to recommend it " The The Canadian Illustrated News predicts that "we have found at last the American novel." The Louisville Courier Journal says: "The second installment is even stronger than the first, justl:fying all that was looked j'or." We begin in January "PHILIP NOLAN'S FRIENDS," BY EDWARD EVERETT HALE, This is an historical romance. The scene is laid in the South-west, at a time when that terri tory was first Spanizh, then French, and then American, and when war was ernminent, to obtain the control of the mouth of the Mississippi. It is likely to be the great romance of the Mississippi Valley, as GABRIEL CONROY will be of the Pacific Slope. "THAT LASS 0' LOWRY'S," BY FANNY lIODGSON BURNETT, The friends of ",S'erihner" who have read "Sur ly Tim's Trouble," "One Day at Arle." "The Fire at Brantley Mills," and others of Mrs. Burnett's short stories, will not need to be assured that they have a rare treat before them. The scene of the new novel is laid in an English mining town, and from the first page to the last tae interest is un flagging. _ Along other notable papers we mention the following: A SECOND"FA RMER'S VACATION," by CoLliEottnu E. WARING, descriptive of a row boat ride of two hundred and fifty miles, in one of the most fertile and interesting of the vine-grow ing valleys of Europe—a region never seen by the ordinary traveler, but full of interest, in its social and industrial aspects. A rare collection of REV OLUTIONARY LETTERS. A SERIES OF IL LUSTRATED ARTICLES ON AMERICAN COL LEGES. The Series includes William and Mary, Harvard, Yale, Michigan Stare University, Wes leyan University, Amherst Agricultural College, Princeton, Union, Bowdon!, Trinity, and other typical institutions of the country. Elegantly il lustrated articles on OLD NEW YORK,illustrated papers on AMERICAN CITIES, &c. The editorial control and direction of the Maga will remain in the hands of Dr. HoLLAND, who will contribute each month editorials upon current political and social topics. Our readers may look to "TOPICS OF THE TIME" for healthy opinion; "THE OLD CABINET" for pure sentiment; "HOME AND SOCIETY" for graceful economy; "CULTURE AND PROGRESS" for criticism; " THE WORLD'S WORK" for industrial intelli gence; "BRIC-A-BRAC" for wit and innocent pleasantry. Scribner's Monthly is now recognized, both in this country and in England, as the great repre sentative American Magazine. Encouraged by the favor accorded to it by a generous public, we shall aim, during the Centen nial year, to eclipse its former achievements in both its Literary and Art departments.

DIGGII PLIULF; A Fucculent communication, Entitled to deep veneration, Excited profound admiration Whilst reading the JOUBNA L last night. The author prefers female teachers; I know they are praiseworthy creatures, But that's not the prominent feature That graced his epishle so bright. The ladies excel, says the writer, In intellect mostly they're ',right, We stand as the hood to the mitre— A clerical simile that— Excepting myself and some others, Perhaps one or two of my brothers, All nursed by the wisest of mothers, Who stand as the bee to the gnat. Oh! had I the mind of "Observer" To back my poetical fervor, My country, oh ! would'nt I serve her, My signature high I would grave; But if I have wounded his feelings, B,fore him consider me kneeling, With tears down my countenance stealing, The gentleman's pardon to crave. Yxc ffitorg-Zrtitr. BILL. Aristocratic noses were turned up in dis• gust. The broad piazza of the hotel in the village of B. had perhaps never be fore such a weight of annoyed humanity. The proprietor had just informed his guests that the members of a circus com pany who were to perform in the neigh borhood had telegraphed their intention of putting up at our tavern. Within five minutes of the receipt of this intelligence almost every guest had received it as a personal insult. This of course is not to be wondered at : indeed it was a perfectly natural result, and one which our host should have been prepared for. The only surprise I felt was that in this goodly company there were to be found a few in dividuals who.e noses remained level. and who, notwithstanding their distinguished descent ; did not appear to be in the least disturbed by the unusual news. We were sometimes compelled to look this fact squarely in the files:. The accident of aristocratic birth does not always insure against plebeian proclivities. The minor ity in this case, I observed, kept very quiet. A wise course for minorities on all occasion. One little woman, who bad charmed us all, even the folks with the sensitive ol factories, came, dancing up to rue after the party had dispersed, evidently imagining that she had found a congenial spirit. "I am so glad," she said; "won't it be jolly ?" "Hush !" I answered warningly. Don't talk so loud. "Oh ! they are all gone," she went on, her pleasant eyes sparkling; and I do be lieve I should like to shock 'em. I kept to myself the fact th:it she had already done so. Twice in my knowledge she had threatened Mrs. Grundy with ver tigo. Once she had been seen tying up a finger on the head waiter. The poor fel low had given himself a bad cut and nat urally enough, perhaps, for one who didn't know any better, had rushed to the per son, whose sympathy and assistance he was surest of. On another occasion she had bounded into the dining room fresh front a ramble in the woods, her hands full of wild flowers for her table. After arrang ing them nicely in a vase she actually se lected some of the freshest of the blossoms, and making a tasteful buttonhole bouquet fastened it to the lapel of our waiter's coat. "There, Frank," she said, "this is what I call a proper regard for the fitness of things. Give me some soup quick, pl3ase I am famished." It was a little singular, perhaps, but that colored man wore those flowe-s till they withered and wasted,carefully putting them in water every night. But I must hurry on to The circus company arrived, and of course there was a great bustle. Moss of the guests kept their own rooms. I thought it would be pleasant to get a glimpse of the horses and hear the music, so I did not vacate my rocking chair on the piazza, as perhaps, under the circumstances, it was eminently proper I should do. My only lady companion was the sweet and incorrigible little Mrs. Van Arness, the lady above mentioned. Trunks, portman teaus and baggage of all description found its way to the rooms set apart for our new guests. Then followed the human freight; by the way not half so frightful or so coarse as our super sensitiveness had imag ined. A man and a woman, looking very much like other folks, walked into the house, the woman with a young baby in her arms, the man leading a young boy apparently about three years of age. The child's gait and manner gave evidence of training for tha ring, even at that early age. Five minutes later I looked up from my book to Re Mrs. Van Arness a short distance away from me talking very busily with the same little fellow. His parents were busy in their own room, and had not probably noticed the child's absence. "Come out here," said she at last, ac tually takinc , her companion by the hand and leading toward me, "and see this lady. She likes little boys. I have heard her say "Oh, everybody likes little boys," he answered naively; everybody likes me," and then after a moment added, but Bill likes me better than anybody ?" "Who is Bill ?" 1 inquired. "What does Bill do ?" inquired my friend, with keener intuition. The little one stopped a moment, and then, as ifpos sessed by an original idea, bounded off to the iron chains that fenced the grounds in front of the hotel. Once here he stopped to assure himself that we were looking, and then said : "This is what Bill does." In an instant he had turned two or three. summersaults around the chain, and landed gracefully on his feet in the middle of the grass plot. "That's no place to do it," he added scornfully, as he returned to our side. "Bill makes all the people clap their hands and holler, hi ! hi! Oh ! you ought to see Bill." Just then a gray-coated, keen faced, and good•natured looking young man came quickly up the path. In an instant the boy was off, saying joyfully; "Oh, there's Bill 1" and in less time than it takes me to write it Bill had him tight in his arms. "Did you see that rough fellow kiss that child?" said Mrs. Van Arness, as the couple disappeared. Just then the most pompous of our boarders sauntered out, cigar between his fingers, and with a shrug of his fat shoulders remarked : "I wonder at you ladies. I have in sisted on my wife keeping her room." "Well ?" said my companion, striking an attitude, and for the first time since my acquaintance with her evidently losing her temper, •that means that you think your wife would be contaminated by contact Nsiththese cirethi people ?" 'You are correct, as usual, Mrs. Van Arness," he answered with impressiveness. "Well, I like circus riders, she replied. with a mischievous crease in the corners of her pretty mouth ; "that is, if' they have hearts I saw an Irishman. sir, a day laborer, the other day, digging in the streets, and I declare to you I wanted to shake hands with him, A little girl al most fell into a hole he was making, and when he had not only prevented her, but took her in his arms and hugged and kissed her, I thought to myself that the sweet no bility of that red-shirted son of Erin would put to shame many a so-called aristocrat in our so-called society." "Well, I declare!" said the gentleman, as my lady walked off. "Would yon be lieve that a woman of her culturJ could have such low taste ? I believe I smiled and made no answer. What use to fight these prejudices? About as inucth as to try and destroy a stone wall with a blow from one's head. Not long after this I come across Mrs. Van Arness in earnest conversation with Bill. I con fess ti-at this slight annoyance was of short duration fur she turned to me and said : "I have just met that little buy in the hall, and if I hadn't dashed some water in his face I really belied he would have choked to death; and I was asking his friend some questions about him." "And I was telling her," said Bill, re• spectfully, with his hat in his hand, "that last night he had the croup, and he don't seem to have got over it; but lis's bright as a dollar. The croup is generally pretty hard, I've heard on a child of his build. He'll get through his performance the first of the evening, and his mother will send him right down to the hotel; and I shall be through in an hour after that. She has to ride the last one." "And what becomes of the baby?" "That goes to the show," he answered with a smile. "It's a migty good baby. and we take turns taking care of it. If you have anything, ma'am that's good for croup, I wish you'd let me know. Ifany thing should happen to little Jo—well— if anything should happen." . . For a moment he twirled his hat ner vously. and then with au abrupt bow turned on his heel and walked hastily away. . . "oh ! it was frightful !" said my com panion. "Poor little child ! I don't be lieve you ever heard anything half so sweet as what he said to me when I wiped the water from his face, after the spasm had passed." "You was scared, wasn't you, lady ! Mind now, don't tell Bill nor my mamma. My mamma will cry, and Bill will look this way !" and then he drew down his face in comic imitation of his faithful friend. "I lust a little boy with croup once," she continued softly. "It must ba agonizing for a mother to be obliged to lire a life of this kind, with no time for domestic comfort ; no time to nurse her sick, or pet her little ones." It was strange that this woman, bred in luxury, accustomed to the choinest society, should have not a word of blame to utter against the profession which her sister woman had chosen. She was sorry fir her. She would have assisted her with her means and her sympathy, have nursed her and hers with her own tender hands, but reproach her never by thought, word, or deed. I realized then, as never befor, the tremendous power for good that such pu rity and unselfishness must exert. But God help us, the majority of those who labor for others, seek first in their mistaken zeal and pride to tear down trades and institu tions, never thinking of the poor souls who perish in the ruins. I heard no more of Mrs. Van Arness until about nine o'clock that evenir , Then a messenger informed me that the lady desired my presence immediately in her room. I found her with little Joe in her arms, hvoking very pale and anx ious. The boy had been brought home a short time before, and Bill, on arriving a few minutes after, had found him in a spasm of strangulation, and sent for my friend. lle was now easier, and looked up into my face with a smile. _ _ "Much as Jo could do to stand on Bill's hand to.night," he said, glancing at the poor fellow, who looked the picture of despair. "But didn't they holler l►i ! hi ! Bill ? didn't they clap their hands and holler hi ! hi !" "Next time we'll make 'eta holler loud er than that," said Bill, with difficulty; "we'll just tickle 'em to death, Jo !" and as the child closed his eyes wearily, contin ued with great pathos : "Won't we, little Jo ? say, won't we. Jo ?" "Guess so !" said the child, and then followed another frightful spasm. The doctor came and did all that human skill suggested. The mother was sent for in great haste, and all the time Bill walked backward and forward, up and down, with the little sufferer, who begged to be kept in motion. At last, after one of those fearful paroxysms, the child opened his eyes and looked around at all of us. The angel of death, or rather of quick lire, was hovering near. That was plain to all but Bill. "Where's my mamma ?" the child asked in piteous tones, and then raising himself to his nurse's arms, as it' perfectly conscious that his time was short, said : "Kiss Jo, quick. Bill. Kiss Jo, quick'." The tiny arms were clasped around the rough neck, and when Bill, a moment after, held him off and looked into his face to account for the sudden stillness, a pair of lifeless blue eyes stared up at him. The child was gone! The mother, in her short skirts, tinse land paint, fresh from the ring, came in a moment after, and fell in a dead faint upon the floor.— Neither moan nor tear escaped poor Bill. Once, as Mrs. Van Aruess endeavor ed to comfort him, Ile remarked, in a f.►r off way : "I thought there was a God. Jo was all I had." Well, it was all over, and the wretched mourners went away with their precious burden. I was surprised, when Bill bade Mrs Van Arness good bye, to hear him say. . ... . .. . . hope I shall see you again sometime, ma'am. I begin to understand it now, and I believe little Jo is in God's hands That's a good deal to be sure of, un'ani. and sometime I shall be reconciled, but if it hadn't been for you :" The young man turned away to:i full to utter another word. I don't think any body else saw it, but when the weeping mother pressed Mrs. Van Arness' hand to her lips, the dear woman drew her sister close to her heart, and kissed her cheeks with all tenderness and affection born of purest charity. For the greatest of all is charity. _ _ A few days after this I was introduced to Rev. Mr. Van Arne... Imagine my surprise on (Fsf.,,irritig that my tierol a mini,ter'A wire thir pompous 211(.4 Said to him Anon after him arrival: "Your wife hos worn herself quite out waitityz on some people here. Nothing any of us could say or do seemed to have the least effect : and with this el.iss or people, sir. you ofconrse know how impos sible it is do any good." The pale fien of the minister flushed a little as lie answered : '•My wire. heaven bless her! works with her heart!

Amen ! and amen. itcatling •for the Million, Sunlight at Last. We take the following from the Detroit Free Press : Why did this woman live? [lad life one charm for her ? Perhaps she asked herself these questions as she sat with her thee in her hands and looked nut upon the cold, cheerless day. There were no tears in her great black eyes—only smelt a look of woe and despair that the world should been there to► s'e it and to have it painted on their hearts. "Mot her :" A little, wasted form on the wretched bed—a bony hand on the ra,..-Ired voice that told or hunker and pin and weary waiting. She bent over him, and for a moment mother's love shone in her eyes, and her. wrinkled hand rested on his pale Nee with such tenderness as only a mother has. "Lift me up and let we see the sun shine," he whispered, trying to put his arms around her neck. "There is no sunshine," she !shivered in reply, a sob in her throat. "Kiss me, mother, and call me when the sunlight comes again," he said. She knew that he had been dying for a week—sinking slowly and sorely into ever nity, but she had no friends to call 4.n— -she could only weep over him and pray God that she might soon fellow. Wi; h a gasp and a sob she pressed her lips to his forehead, then turned away to struggle with her despair and her great sorrow The cloudy, cheerless day faded into dusk. She roused herself for a moment and peered through the g'oom to see if her boy still slept, and then she whispered with her thoughts again. And such thoughts When the darkness covered the bare floor as with a mantle ; and when she could no longer sec her own poverty, the boy suddenly cried out : "Mother! mother ! The sunlight has come !" "Not yet, dear Ned—not yet ! It is night now." 'But I see the sun—it lights all the room —it blazes into my face !" he eallefi.

The sunlight had truly come, but it scis the sunlight—the rayA relleced from the gates of Ilenren—and not the sunlight of earth.

When they found his little dead body she was not there. They can not find ber. If she is dead God did not judge her harshly. Your First Sweetheart You can never forget her. She is PO young, so innocent, and so pretty. She kept such a looking at you over her book at church. She alone, of all the world, did not think you a bay Of eighteen, but wondered at your size and learnin. , . and your faint foreshading of a sandy mous tache, and believed you every inch eta man. When at those stupid evening par- ties, where bays and girls who should hare been eatingsuppers of bread-and milk, and gone to sleep hours before, waltzed and flirted, and made themselves sick over oysters and champagne, you were favored with a glance of her eye. or a whisper of her lip, on ascended to the seventh hear en immediately. When once, upon a memorial eae, she waltzed with young Smith, and never even looked at you, how miserable you were. It is funny to think of it now; but it. Wa.i not funny then. for you were awfully in earnest. °ace at picnic, she wore a whit:: dress, and had roses twined in her hair, and she looked so much like a bride you fairly trembled. Sometitnesyou thought, jug in such snowy costume, with such blossoms in her hair. she might stand before the altar. and you. most blessed of all mortals, might place a gold ring upon her finger ; and when you were alone with her gar a few momenta, sonic of your thoughts would form them selvc., into words, and though she blushed and ran away, and would not let you kiss her, she did not seem angry. And then, when you were somewhat partetlafor a lit tle whilo, and when you met again she WaP walking with a gentleman. a large. full grown, whiskered man of twenty-eight or thirty and had neither word nor smile fir you, and some well meaning gossip inform ed yen soon afterward that she was • en gaged" to a tall gentleman with black whiskers, anti that it was a splendid match"—it was terrible news to you, then, and sent you off to some busy town far from your native place, where, after a good deal of youthful grief• and many resolutions to die and haunt her, you recover your equanimity, and begin to call love stuff and nonsense. You have a rich wife of your own now. and grown up children—aye.even two or three toddling grandchildren— about your hearth ; your hair is gray. and you lock your heart up in the fire proof safe at the counting-house when yin gn home at night. And you thought lon had forgotten that little episode of your nine teenth year, until the other day you read her death in the papers. You knew she was a stout lady who wore glasses. and has died older than she was in that olden time; but your heart went back, and yon saw her smiling and blushing, with her golden hair about her face, and yourself boy again dreaming of wedding-robes and rings, and you laid your gray old head upon your office desk, and wept for the memory of your first love.
