Price, $1. 
This is another book treating of political and 
social life at the South; since the Civil War. It 
is written by a mun who fought in the Northern 
army, and afterwards settled in the South, There 
are some exciting: chapters in the book. 
Burke's Texas Almanac for 1880, edited 
by N. A. Taylor, contains a vast amount of infor¬ 
mation about the State of Texas, and wlii be 
found a most desirable book of reference. It. 
contains 232 pages, and has a township map of 
the State. Published by J. Burke, jr., Houston, 
Texas. Price, 75 cents. 
Magazine Literature. —The magazines 
are all unusually rich this month. This has oomo 
to he the rule with the December numbers. It is 
always important to begin right; and in maga¬ 
zine publishing it has come to be recognized as 
equally Important to end right; for the last num¬ 
ber of the year is put forth as a promise of what 
the next year’s numbers are to be. The day of 
renewals is at hand. 
One noticeable indication of the prosperity of 
our American magazines, is the promise of per¬ 
manent eniargment made by the Atlantic and 
Scrtbner'8. This also shows tho increasing de¬ 
mand by the reading public for periodical litera¬ 
ture. W hen the literary history of the Nineteent h 
Century is epitomized by the student of the 
future, a strongly marked feature will be dis¬ 
covered in the growth of our monthly, we ekly, 
ami daily Journals. The talent of thiseouutry, 
like that of Europe, is largely devoted to maga¬ 
zine work. Books come from the press In count¬ 
less numbers; and yet the book is not all that it 
once was. Many renders have no time for it. 
The daily paper, the weekly journal,themonthly 
magazine; these must bereud, because they are 
"timely;’' they contain the literature of the day 
whioh is talked about in common conversation. 
To be ignorant of this, is to confess one's self be¬ 
hind the times. 
After all, it may he questioned whether this 
now order of things is wholly for the best. We 
read too much, many of us. And we read what 
is put before us, rather than what we might se¬ 
lect with judgment and with some definite aim. 
Three-fourths of the time employed in skimming 
over the stock supplies of a monthly magazine, 
might have been devoted with vastly greater 
profit to pursuing soma course of study.
