GIVEN AWAY. 
A Grand National Work of Art . 
MARSHALL’S 
“Household Engraving of Washington,” 
A work of world-wide fame, universally acknowledged to l»e the most 
magnificent engraving ever executed in America. 
THE PUBLISHERS OF 
THE CHRISTIAN UNION 
Take pride in announcing that they have purchased the plate of this Ruperb, large, line engraving of Washington, from 
Stuart’s, celebrated head in the Boston Athenaeum—a Plate valued at Ten Thousand Dollars. When originally 
brought out, this work at once placed Mr. Marshall in the very front rank of engravers—ancient or modern—meeting, 
both hi Europe and America, the most enthusiastic encomiums of artists, critics, and men of judgment. It was even se¬ 
lected for exhibition at the French Academy of Design, an honor accorded to none but the very highest works of art. But 
the prices put upon this splendid work were too high to give it any wide popular circulation. For years none but expen¬ 
sive "artist proofs" at $20, and “India proof ” at $10, were offered for sale; while the regular impressions were afterwards 
sold at $r>, and never for less. During and since the war, tills noble picture has lain almost unnoticed, except by the few 
who seek and buy the finest works of art. It is the best, indeed the only satisfactory portrait of Washington that exists, 
ami is ihe acknowledged standard “ household engraving ” of the “ Father of his Country.” The publishers make the 
following 
EXTRAORDINARY AND LIBERAL OFFER: 
'l'o every NEW Subscriber for tlte Christian Union at $3, will he pre¬ 
sented a Copy of this splendid and world- 
renowned work of art. 
THE CHRISTIAN UNION, 
HENRY WARD BEECHER, Editor, 
Js the only weekly religious journal for which Mr. Beecher writes . or to which he in any way contributes. In the man¬ 
agement :iiul editorial conduct of the paper Mr Beecher is assisted by an able staff of skillful and experienced journal¬ 
ists; while the contributors embrace well-known and eminent zoriters from every evangelical denomination. This is, 
therefore, a paper for all Christians everywhere, being published in the interest of the whole body of Christ's followers. 
It seeks to interpret the Bible rather as a rule of life than as a Book of Doctrines. It is a Family Journal and has 
something' of interest for the whole household , young and old. The paper will be made, in various ways, the most attrac¬ 
tive religious weekly published ; it is already the most widely quoted throughout the whole country. Its form, sixteen 
pages large quarto, is so convenient for reading, binding and preservation, that it has in this alone a special and peculiar 
merit not possessed by the large “blanket-sheets;” while its’ literary attractions are not surpassed by any. Therefore it is 
growing in circulation more rapidly than any other. 
A NEW SERIAL STORY, by MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, 
Autiior of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” “The Minister’s Wooing,” etc., etc., 
Which is to be commenced within a few months in the paper, will alone be worth the cost of the year’s subscription. In 
short, toe offer the Handsomest, the most convenient and the best religious weekly published, for S3; and give 
away one of the finest works of art, and the very finest portrait of Washington, ever engraved. 
ITS PRICE : ONLY $3 PER YEAR.
