A LETTER FROM MRS. HENRY WARD 
BEECHER. 
While overhauling our papers, after the recent removal to 
our new quarters,we came across the following letter,which 
so appropriately expresses the general sentiments of those 
who read lour Magazine, that we have concluded to pub¬ 
lish it: 
Brooklyn-,. Feb. lltli, 1871. 
S. S. WOOD: 
Dear Sir— In ’09, while I was editing “ The Mother at 
Home,” I was much interested in a few copies of your 
“ Household Magazine,” which found their wav into" my 
house, whether to me or my husband, I do not know, nor 
does it matter. X was so much pleased that I wrote asking 
for an exchange, hut receiving no answer, I let the. matter 
drop. I write now, inclosing two dollars, with the request 
that if yon can furnish me the whole set of 1870, you will do 
so, and also put me down as a subscriber for, 1871. If yon 
have not a set of 1870, please, for the extra dollar, put, my 
daughter down for 1871, directing to Rev. Mrs. Samuel Sco- 
ville, Norwich, Chenango Co., N. Y. 
1 think one copy comes to the office of the “Christian 
Union,” edited by my husband, but I prefer to have one 
copy sent to the house for my own use. 
Direct last year’s nos. if you have them, and this year's 
edition, it you please, to Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher, 121 
Columbia st., Brooklyn. N. Y., and oblige yours respect- 
full v, ' Mrs. HENRY WARD BEECHER.

THE NEW VORK TIMES, 
Daily, Weekly, ami Semi-Weekly, 
Tiiis journal is now thoroughly identified 
with the greatest political necessity of the hour 
—uncompromising Yvarfare against all forms of 
corruption, Yvhether in national or local govern¬ 
ment. For years past the TIMES lias been 
exposing (lie demoralizing schemes of self-in¬ 
terested politicians, and its recent warfare upon 
llio Tammany Democrats lias been received 
with universal approval. It has adhered to the 
pledge given in its original prospectus, more 
than twenty years ago, that the public should 
be truly represented, and their interests faith¬ 
fully guarded through its columns. Its record 
lias been pure and honorable, and the highest 
aim of its proprietors is to render it more and 
more worthy of its past-history, and of the con¬ 
fidence which the public repose in it. Two out 
of three of the original proprietors still direct 
its policy, and guide it on all public questions. 
They purpose that the TIMES siiall continue to 
keep clear of ail narrow and unworthy influ¬ 
ences and cliques, and aim to represent the 
great body of the public, as distinguished from 
personal factions. It occupies a perfectly inde¬ 
pendent position, and is free to speak the truth 
on all subjects and about all men. Its greatly 
increased circulation throughout the country 
adds to its power and influence. It will con¬ 
tinue to be a faithful exponent of Republican 
principles, and advocate with untiring energy 
every cause which tends to further the welfare 
of the people. 
The utmost care will be devoted to gathering 
political news from special sources during the 
Presidential canvass. This department of the 
paper will be unusually full and trustworthy. 
Renewed enterprise will be exhibited in every de¬ 
partment of the paper, and large space will bo 
devoted to reports of speeches made during elec¬ 
tions, or on other important political occasions. 
A very full summary of news, and many 
general articles of great interest, arc published 
in the Semi-weekly editions; and in the Weekly 
edition there is an unabridged report of the 
proceedings at the.Farmers’ Club, an excellent 
summary of political information, aud a great 
variety of matter suitable for family reading. 
The NEW YORK TIMES is pre-eminently 
a family paper, all objectionable advertisements 
being rigidly excluded; and it lias a constantly 
increasing circulation among the most respect¬ 
able classes of the community.
