The Mahogany Tree.

"The Mahogany Tree," the third number of which is just issued, is the quaint name of a new magazine started in Boston, having in its corps of editors several Harvard men. It is decidedly a miscellaneous and interesting magazine. A page of editorials or their equivalent, a few stories - generally of a simple and entertaining character, a few poems, one or two short reviews of books, a criticism - and one of good understanding - of the symphony concerts, with a short review of the theatres and a page or two of notes of the times comprise the number. One object is to give criticisms on books, pictures, music, and acting, with, as the editor puts it "the purpose of saying just what he thinks on all subjects. He believes that most people are too much influenced by public opinion, - a thing which he respects, but by which he is not much influenced." "The Mahogany Tree" adheres to no formality or rigidity, but has proved to be a bright, active and well ordered paper, and one which, from its variety of subjects, will become popular.
