EDITED BY MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS.


The Ladie-' National Magazine, is now so
we'll established and favorabIy known, that,
by general consent of the newspaper press, it is
placed at the
HEAD OF THE LADIES' BOOKS.
Its litararp conte,s, like those ofthe three dol
lar Magazines, are oil original, and from the
most celebrated American writers of both sexes.
The contributions to this periodical are a rOn-
slant rrOoi of the taste, and ability at our be-
loved countrywOmeh. No other magazine il 50
exclusively mirror of their minds, or is so gem
orally supported by them. The contents of
every variety, and while usually of the lighter
kind, do not preclude the insertion of papers of
mora value. Fitted alike to the boudoir and
the freeide, the ''Ladies National," presents
monthly an agreeable variety of domestic sketch
es tales of fashionable life, romances of hietory,
poems, critical notices ofliving authors, new re-
ceipts for the house-keeper, directions for fash
Gable embroidery, descriptions of the fashions,
gossip ST our eastern metropolis, musical intellI-
gence, &c, &c, comprising, in shorl, all that a
lady wonld wish to know o objects of interest
transporting during the month.
These contents, instead of being, like those OF
the other ttcO dOltar magazines, make up chiefly
by selections from old newspapers and other Sec
ond hand sources, written expressly for US ;
so teat Onr
CON TENTS ARE ALL ORIGINAL.
