| The demand which has existed for the past
year for Godey's Lady's Book, Graham's Mag
azine, and other kindred publications, has in
duced the subscriber to present to the public
monthly magazine, similar in its general fea-
| lures to the popular works referred to-, but
with some claims to attention which they d.
4 not possess. For this purpose he has recur-
! ed the aid of Miss f. LESLIE, universally
known as one ofthe first female writer's of the
age, and particularly distinguished by her gra
I phic sketches of manners, and her success in
illustrating and correcting fashionable fol!ies.
AS the writer of various books, and contri
fbutor to Godey's f.ady's Book, and other pub
! locations. Miss Leslie has done much to engh
| ten and enter tain the public, and in the maya
/ zine row presented, which bears her name,
she will make her eminent talents still more
( available for general good Besides series
of nouveilettes, in her own inimtab1e style, in

embracing general suggestions for the regula-
ton of domestic establishments, hints and re-
Elections useful to housekeepers, practical adj
vice, numerous receipts never before publish
ed, and all other things that may be made sub
servcnt to the purpose. This department of
| the magazine is not to be found in any other
periodical, and the publisher is satisfied that it
will not be less interesting and valuable than
IT is novel. AS it is the purpose of the publ
sher to make the magazine tributary to useful
design, he has made an arrangement with the
justly celebrated 7. S. ARTHUR. Esq. by
which that gentleman will be directly engaged
in joint superintendent, and will bestow
his best endeavors. He will furnish for each
number one or more Of his iifelke narratives,
and such other matter as may be adapted to
