HARPER’S MAGAZINE. 
it THE GIANT OF THE MONTHLIES.” 
The circulation of Harper's Magazixh 
has always been greater than that of any 
•other periodical of its class In America ; 
while in England It has outrun all the Eng¬ 
lish magazines of its price.

says, and richly illustrated articles, cover 
every subject of interest In travel, biogra¬ 
phy, history, literature, art, and industry. 
Notable novels are first printed In its pages 
as serial stories. The most brilliant writers 
of America and Europe, In every depart¬ 
ment of letters, are Its contributors, while 
Its illustrations are the best work of the 
most skilful artists and wood-engravers of 
our time. 
The editorial departments are abreast of 
the age lu every human interest. The “Easy 
Chair” chats wisely and wittily of subjects 
on which everybody Is thinkiug ; the “ His¬ 
torical Record” gives a comprehensive 
summary of the World’s progress; the 
Literary Record” presents a critical re¬ 
view of current literature; and the “Drawer” 
with its exhaustless supply of good stories, 
is a source of perpetual amusement. 
A like variety of equally good literary and 
art work cannot he bought in the form of 
books for many times the price of the 
Magazine.

« A PICTURE HISTORY OF OUR 
OWN TIMES.” 
Harper’s Weekly is the best illustrated 
paper in America. It presents, week by

noteworthy events of the day ; portraits of 
men of the time; reproductions of the 
works of celebrated native and foreign ar¬ 
tists; cartoons by eminent pictorial satirists; 
and humorous illustrations of the ludicrous 
aspects of social and political life. 
Harper’s Weekly always contains in¬ 
stalments of one, usually of two, of the 
very best novelB of the day, with fine illus¬ 
trations. Its short stories are bright and 
entertaining. Poems, sketches, and papers 
on important topics of the day, by the most 
popular writers, and columns of humorous 
ana personal paragraphs, make it interesting 
to everybody. . .. . 
Its pages are kept free from everything 
which would unfit it for the family circle. In 
art and general literature it always appeals 
to, and cultivates good taste. In the field 
of politics it holds country above party : 
and while it upholds the grand fundamental 
principles of the Republican Party, it 
maintains its right to criticise and dissent.

dent, Illustrated Newspaper should sub¬

merous, have nearly all, thaDk fortune, been 
driven from the field by the Introduction of 
publications for the young which are just aa 
cheap, and perfectly healthful and whole¬ 
some. This good work of reform was led by 
the Harpers of New York, with their hand¬ 
some Young People.”
