DROsPECTUs OF A NEW AND VERY
Il CHEAP MAGAZINE.
On the first day Of April was commenced a new
Magazine 10 take e place Of the Phnir and Budget
under the title of the
BALTIMORE MONTHLY VISITER
II is issued with far neater cover, on good paper
and type, and is composed of closely printed matter
amounting to nearly four hundred pages per volume
Each number will be accompanied by a very fine
wood cut, illustrating the natural history and Gus
toms of the month for which each number is intend
ed. Each design will be accompanied by both prose
and poetic sketches not only Of the general features
and holiday customs, but likewise of the agricultural
peculiarities Of every month. This will be a
feature, and il is hoped, will render the MONTHLY
VIsTER peculiarly welcome guest on every farm
ers table. The first number is likewise embeished
with engraving representing Shakspeare's Tanning
the Shrew illustrated by story from the pen of the
late Charles Lamb, one of the most popular authors
England has ever boosted This plate, and the illus
tratons of the months, have never appeared in any
other magazine.

In the line of critical notices of new books, de-
cided improvement has been made upon the plan of
the Phenx and Budget''-and in the way Of stories
an important reform has been adopted, which will
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
vokingly from number to number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such as
may not feel willing to pay the expensive prices
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for SIN
gle copyfve copies for S. co. This is giving about
four pages for one cent.
1t is desirable to receive orders at once that
may know how TO regulate our issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious as are to extend the usefulness
of the work widely possible
