A monthly Magazine, deroted 10 de mo-
raj improvement instruction, and amgse-
ment Of The youthful fair Of Mississippi
--m Mrs. AVN llowE--to be publish
cd at CoBeer'ne, MI.
NNllE design OF tue contemplated PEE
n riodcal is indicated by its title. II
is the intention Of its conductor that the
articles which appear in its pages, while
they shall possess at least sufficient at
traction to fix tho attention, interest and
crafty the youthful reader, shall also be
of so chaste, moral and instructive char
acter and tendency as TO leave impress
slous incentive 10 virtue upon her plastic
mind, and 10 her intellectual advancement
Ito "quiaken her perception, strengthen
her Judgment, correct her laste,n and in
duce her TO "iall in lovo"--not with some
ideal hero, or gay cayalier--bul with what
is morally lovely, noble and useiul---wilh
wisdom and virtue and utility. 1t is in
tended that the Miscellany shall BIO to her,
pleasing, an instructive, and monitorial
companion.
To YOUNG LADIES, whose homes arc in
the country, il cannot but be acceptable:
unfolding 10 them, as il will, in their green
retreats, pictures of life and society, incl
dents and novelties, from knowledge and
observation OF which, they arc dcbarred.
by ;hoir isolated location. II will furnish
them with matter for reflection and con-
ycrsaiion, in their rambles through shad-
owy wood,by the hillside, or running brook;
by the cottage hearth, or the parlor sofa;
beneath the green trees shade, or in fcs-
TONED -whcre'er they are whoth-
or they roam abroad, OF sit at home. II
will be as glass ihro' which they can soc
many objects Of an interesting character
in the "great world" beyond the apparent
y inteminabe landscape which separates
them from It's "much Of good,n and, per-
haps, "more Of evil"
To PARENTS, the inducements 10 take
such work must be manifest. IL Il were
calculated TO do no more than crente or
foster taste for reading, in their youthful
daughiers--that OF itself should, we re-
specially suggest, DO conceived a consid-
GRAFTON Of sufficient weight TO induce them
10 extend TO the Young Ladies' Miscea-
ny their encouragement counienonce and
patronage.
THE MISCELLANY, though especially de-
signed for the improvement, instruction
and amusement Of the youthful fair; yet
cannot, VIC think, but afford pleasure, IL
not cdification, TO all who love chasie and
interesting prose and poetry. Its monthly
table Of contents will display a pleasing
Miscellany of carefully selected and APP
propriate tales, essays, sketches, anec-
dotes, poetry, &c. II is needless, per-
haps, to say, that nothing indelicnIe, inn
pure or offensive, shall ever auly lis pages.

strict purpose Of this Prospectus. There
