SHORTY.

“Peterson” for November is before us; it is evidently deteimined to go out, this year, with flying colors. The steel plate is the finest of the yiiar: it is a copy of one of Millais’s most charming pictures of children—the portrait of pretty little Miss Muffet, of nursery fame. The wood-engraving ‘Three HouieRulers’ is, in its way, equally noticeable; it is the loveliest production of Kate Gre< nawa", ’s facile pencil. The fashion-plates display tueir usual excellence, and among the numerous interesting stDiies a very noticeable one is “Alec Benton,” by the popular Southern authoress, Miss M. G. McClelland. The prospectus for 1888 offers the promise of even greater attractions for the coming twelvemonth. “Peterson”| has earned the right to style itself a m gazine of literature, art and fashion; for, in every essentia], it unites the distinctive features of three separate magazines, either of whifh one would acknowledge to be of superior merit During nearly a half-cen-tury it has so thoroughly fulfilled every pledge, that we feel sure the richer promises of the coming year will be fully kept “Peterson"’ is really a household-necessity.
