' Is an original, first-class, Dollar Monthly. It is 
fresh and sprightly, 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 belieyes 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 preach as though it 
preached not—an interesting story,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 at one 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. 
Each 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 mailed 
free to every subscriber to the Magazine at SI 50 
Specimens free. Agents wanted. Address S.

magazine is one of the monuments of business 
enterprise which mark the age .—Methodist Home 
Journal , Phila., Pa.As its title promises, it 
is devoted to the instruction and entertainment 
of the family circle,and,in order to place it with¬ 
in the means of readers in moderate circum¬ 
stances,it is furnished at a remarkably low rate 
in proportion to the interest of its contents.— N. 
Y.Tribune. . .It is essentially a borne magazine, 
and is just the thing that one would most desire 
to place in the hands of his wife and little ones, 
or that a man of business would himself take 
up for the employment of a leisure hour .—Post 
Wilmington, N. C.Were we out of our 
chair editorial, as a “private citizen,” cut off 
from our exchange list and all that, one of the 
first magazines.to which we should subscribe 
would be Wood’s Household.— Register, Hart¬ 
ford, Ct.It is an intellectual and moral 
educator, highly prized by ail who become ac¬ 
quainted with it .—Christian Advocate .It 
popular writers arc, therefore, good writers, 
and if high prices prove the merit of literary 
wares, then Mr. Wood’s magazine is a good M 
„ . one .—The Independent, New York.Its arti- 
cles breathe a spirit of economy, morality and 
^ virtue which is highly refreshing in this age of 
fashionable folly and extravagance.— Sentinel, 
Edina, Mo.It is undoubtedly one of the 
freshest, liveliest journals we have examined. 
—. Record , Springfield, Term.The articles 
are short, piquant, and of such unquestioned 
excellence, that this periodical ought to be both 
familiar and welcome in very many house¬ 
holds. Wood’s is a marvel of cheapness and 
first-class quality combined .—New York Times.
