One Of the cheapest Works erer offered to
the Public.

In presenting to the public the October
number of the LADY'S BOOK, the Propri-
etors feel much pleasure in inviting atten-
ton to comparison between it and the
preceding numbers. 1t will be perceived
that gradual, but decided improvement,
has been effected in its embellishments;
particularly in the department of the cos
ume ofGashions, which have been executed
by KELLY; an artist who, in the emhel-
ishment which accompanies this number,
has literally excelled himself; rendering the
prints of Fashions of the LADY'S BOOK
sufficiently excellent to compete with the
best executed in London, and to surpass
those of Paris.-Hence, the public will
perceive that the hopes of progressive i'm
provement, which the proprietors Of the
LADY'S BOOK have expressed to their
patrons have been fully realized.
A very material change is observable in
the reading department of the LADY'S
BOOK, which improvement will proceed,
or, at least, be sustained, by the exertions
OF its contributors; and, as further.expres-
sion Of their gratitude to a patronizing COM

GEs, and the whole number will be exclu-
slvely devoted to and composed of ORR
dlNAL subtects-every article written ex-
pressly for the work.
Among the contributors on this occasion,
may be enumerated Miss Leslie, author Of
the Prize Tale entitled "Mrs. Washington
Potts"-Mrs. Hentz, author of the Prize
Tragedy-,he late Mrs. Gilfert-Joseph
r. Chandler, ESD. A. Shea, author Of
Adolph, Address to the Ocean, &c the
author of "a Tale of Fashionable Life"-
the author of"Sketches ola Jurist-Consult"
y. PA. E.-and other well-known
u popular writer's. whose productions have
given so peculiar delight to the readers
of the LADY'S BOOK. This publication
has been always distinguished for its Beau
,iful engravings of the Fashions, but it is
the intention of the Proprletors to render
the ONE FOR JANUARY STILL MORE

without heralding it by professions, re-
enceler to past experience is the best prom>

OWE NO MAN.

How happy the man who owes not pound,
But laysup his fifty every year that comes
round:
He fears neither constable sheriff nor dun;
To bank or to Justice has never to run.
His cellar we'll filled, & his pantry well stor'd.
He lives far more blessed than prince, or
lord.
Then take my advice, if fortune you'd get,
Pay off what you and keep out of debt.
This may be bad poetry but it is good
sense; depend upon it, it is excellent
sense. 1t is an old saying that a debt
or is slave to his creditor. lfso, half
The world enter voluntary scrvilude.-
The universal rage to buy on credit, is
"A serious evil in this country. Many a
married man is ruined entirely by it.
Many man goes into store for a
single article. Looking about, he sees
twenty things which strike his fancy
lie has no money and buys on credit
Foolish man! Pay day must come, and
len chances to one, like death, it finds
you uuprepared to meet it. Tell me,
ewho have experieuc d it, did the pleas
ure Of possessing the article bear any pro
portion to the pain Of being called on to
p ay for it when you had it not in your
power.
A few rules well kept will contribute
much to your happiness, independence.
Never buy what you do not really
want. Never buy on credit when you
can possibly do without.
Take pride in being able to say 81
owe no man."

A CARD.

In directing the attention of their renders
to the Improvements and exertions which
have been increasingly made, to elevate
the LADY'S BOOK TO that station which
it now occupies, the Proprietors have in
Cured very considerable expense, which
deserves, on the subscribers part, a suitable
punctuality in meeting their engagements.
70 them, individually, the amount of the
subscription is a trife, but to the proprie-
tors, il is, collectively, of the utmoslimpor-
lance; and it is confidently expected that
the early transmission of arrears, will prove
to them that their intentions and exertons
have not been disregarded or forgotten, by
those for whom they have been made.
After the fisrt OF January it is the inten-
ton of the proprietors to send circulars to
all who are in arrears one year. Subscr-
bers wishing to avoid the expense of post
age, will please make payment before that
time.
In addition to the plan originally proposed,
the four pages of the cover have been added, in
whose ample columns the editor weekly crowds

extracts from the newest and best books as fast
as they issue from the other presses, and endea-
