HARPER'S New Monthly Magazine continues its career of success. We notice that the recent numbers contain elaborate original articles by American writers, adding greatly to the value of the journal.

The “Editor's Drawer" is another novelty, and is very attractive. The only rival of Harper in the field is "The International Magazine," which is conducted with the highest degree of taste, skill, and vigour. Its section on "Authors and Books" alone is worth the price of the whole work.

We have received the first number of the "Southern Repertory and College Review, conducted by the Faculty of Emory and Henry College, Virginia. A paramount object of the journal will be to promote the cause of education, while the general interests of literature, science, and art, will by no means be disregarded.

THE "Temple" (Harrisburg, Pa.) is a magazine devoted to Masonry, literature, and science, edited by B. Parke, Esq., and Professor C. E. Blumenthal, of Dickinson College.

Of the Masonic part we cannot speak, being, fortunately or unfortunately, not among the initiated; but the literary execution of the work is far above the ordinary standard of our magazine literature. The work is very neatly got up, and is furnished at the low price of $1 50 per annum.
