    Novembee—Longman ' s Magazine opens with the first four chapters of a new story by Mr . W . Clark Russell , entitled ' Jack ' s Courtship : a Sailor ' s Yarn of

    ! Love and Shipwreck / Jack J . , when the story opens , has given up the mariner ' s life , owing to his father— ' s death , and the consequent x incoming f * of a—~

    modest . £ 250 a year , on which he is living in lodgings off Regent Street . An uncle suddenly appearstakes him off to Cliftonwhere the

    author shows , us the first stage in what , we imagine may develop into the promised courtship , Jack having in a very short time contrived to fall

    in love . In an article entitled ' An Opening for the Unemployed in Ireland / Mr . Charles G . Iceland takes what some perhaps "will regard as a

    rather optimistic view of the artistic capacities of our fellow-subjects , and looks forward to the revival of minor artistic pursuits as a hope for

    the . « unemployed ^ ^ Irish ¦«• mm population * ¦ . m . Mr —m v . Ri ' fc mm chard Jefieries' picture of the * Wiltshire Labourer' sums up the case with much directness when he says

    , * Labouring men more and more think simply of work and wages . They do not want'kindness ; they want coin / and it is the search for higher wages

    — j - j — — - j--y which , in his opinion , makes the labourer ^ a nomad . To induce them to take to stationary habits agai Cj n he proposes JT X to g ive them a certain fixity % / in

    cottage tenure , and believes that it would pay the landowners to let ail the cottages upon their property to the labourers - _ . _ _ ____ themselves ^ ______ directexactly

    as JL farms V are let . If such a course were adopted , j ^ , Mr . Jefieries would have good hope of the result , for he has much faith in the young English

    agricultural labourer of to-day , and thinks that if he is permitted to live , he will be satisfied . The other pages of the number are occupied by a
