The Ladies' National Magazine, is now so
well established and so favorably known, that,
by general consent Of the newspaper press, il is

most celebrated American writer's of both sexes.

stant proof of the taste, and ability of our be-
loved counirywomen. No other magazine is so
exclusively mirror of their minds, oris so gen
orally supported by them. The contents are OF
every variety, and while usually of the lighter
kind, do not preclude the insertion of papers Of
more value. Fitted alike TO the boudoir and
the freede, the Ladies National," presents
monthly an agreeable variety OF domestic sketch
es, tales of fashionable life, of hetory,
poems, critical notices ofliving authors, new re-
ceipts for the honse-keeper, directions for fash
ionable embroidery, descriptions of the fashions,
gossip ST our eastern metropolis, musical lnteli-
gence, &c, &c, comprising, in shor, all that
lady wonld wish TO know objects of interest
transporting during the month.

the other tlco doItdr magazines, make up chiefly
by selections from old newspapers and other sec
ond hand sources, are written expressly for US
