Is an original, first-class Dollar Monthly. It is 
fresh and *prlglitly, and will interest the entire 
household, including lovers and maidens, hus- 
bands and wives, parents and children. It sug- 
gests the importance of securing a union of 
hearts and purposes in life, before there shall 
be a union of hands. It believes that, while it 
is woman's privilege to purify and comfort and 
adorn, it should be man's pleasure to provide 
for, cherish, and protect. It would have chil- 
dren treated as feeling, thinking and growing 
creatures— perfectly created,but not full grown. 
Yet in advocating these doctrines, the Maga- 
zine does not employ doctrinal sermons— long 
and dreary disquisitions which do not interest 
and therefore do not profit the reader. On the 
contrary, it would rather nreaeh as though it 
preached not— an interesting stor3',for instance, 
being made to serve the purpose of a long dis- 
course by giving the reader something real, in- 
teresting and profitable to think about. 
The worst as well as the best feature of the 
Magazine is its price. The idea of getting a 
really first-class Magazine atone dollar a year, 
seems absurd to most people. Yet it employs 
some of the best contributors in the country- 
including Gail Hamilton, its leading editor, 
who receives a salary of three thousand dol- 
lars, equivalent to about ten dollars per day. 
Eacb number contains nearly eight hundred 
dollars' worth of matter, which costs the sub- 
scriber about eight cents. 
Hope and. Joy— two beautifully tinted crayon 
portraits worth Four Dollars— will be matted 
tree to every subscriber to the Magazine at $1 50 
Specimens free. Agents wanted. Address S.
