Ilail-is. One of the most important articles of the montli wlll be an article on .lames Hussell Lowell, by Eihvan Evereti líale in the October numbei of the New England Magazine. Dr. Hale is well known to all the. world as a brilllant essayist, and the close intimaey whlch existed between liim and the poet gives a personal interest to hls article, whlch adds to its attractiveness. A number of anecdotes of Lowell are incorporated in the body of remtnlseentfea aml eriticism, and, receiving publicly now for the fust liiiii', eive the article a piquancy which it could not otherwise possess. A Hne portrait of Lowell in liis stiidy, taken just before ïis death, forms the fromtispiece of the magazine. As men have never been able to be lerfectly good, so they have never been capable of being entirely evil.
