THE EDITORS TABLE. 
Our table fairly groans this month with 
its weight of Literary Treasures, and we re¬ 
gret that our columns are already so filled 
that we cannot give even a passing notice 
to any but the leading Magazines. 
The North American Review for January opens 
with a symposium in which three of the moot prom¬ 
inent advocates in this country of the “R> vision of 
hurch Creeds,” namely Rev. Dr. Newman Smyth, 
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and Rev. Dr. Lyman Ab¬ 
bott, set forth the grounds upon which such revision 
is deemed necessary as a defense o-f revealed reMgion 
against the encroachments skepticism, and as an ad¬ 
justment of the relations between faith and science. 
•University Education for Women,” is discussed by 
Prof. W. Le Conte Stevens, who, though he zealously 
.Klvocates the me;.s ;re, commands the attention and 
r "' T ^pect of its opponents by the eminent fairness with 
iuch he states the adverse arguments. “American 
i-iaglkib,” by Gilbert M. Tucker, is a spirited defense 
of «vr eba Atlantic fashiox of English speech against 
the aspersions of sundry British critics. The Rev. 
Dr. H. W. Thomas writes on “The Responsibilities of 
Progressive Thinkers,” Dr. David Hunt on “Bigotry 
in the Medical Profes; ion,” and CharlesT. Congdon, 
under the singular apt title of “Adulteration of Intel¬ 
ligence,” exposes some of the grave evils to be appre¬ 
hended from the monopolization of telegraph lines, 
press associations and influential public journals. 
Published at 30 Lafayette Place, New York.

“Don’t kill the toads, the ugly toads, that hop 
around your door. Each meal the little toad doth 
eat a hundred bugs or more. He site around with 
aspect pieek, until the fly has neared, then shoots h* 
forth his little tongue like lightning double-geared 
And then doth wink, and shuts his ugly mug, aid 
patiently doth wait until there comes another bug.”
