therefore, to subscribe for this book instead of
all others, which are reprints of English ones.
Our Editor is Mrs ANA :. Stephens, the FE-
MALE SCOT I OF AMERICA! She is assis
ted by Mrs l., II. Sisourney, Mrs Oss God, Elet,
Dinnies, Pierson, Orne, and by the unriva We'd
author of of 'sConquest and Self.Conquest.' he
best writers of the other sex also contribute to
the variety of our pages.
PRIZE TALE OF THE SOUTH,
founded on incidents in the Revolution, will
appear, by the au hor of "MARION'S MENn
Our Domestic Stories, by Ellen Ashton, F.E.F I;
and others, intoxicating useful morals, which
have been so popular, will be continued. AS
proof Of the superior character of our literary
contents, we may mention the fact that more
articles are copied from us by the press than
from any other Magazine. This Is because no
other periodical is exclusively mirror of
woman's mind, or SO thoroughly devoted to her
tastes or interests.
OFTNER THAN ANY RIVAL.
During the past year we have published more
of ihe costly Mezzotints than any rival, and for
1876 we shall average a Mtzzotint for every
number 1.-THE Shipwreok," ''Washington at
Eighteen" "Family Chased by Wolves" and

scape., Female Beauties, Colored Birds and
Flowers, Fixtures of Domestic Life, &c, &c,
keeping ahead Of all rivals. We shall give a
portrait of the Editor, Gratis, next year. The
Engravings will be worth double the subscriP'
FASHIONS FROM PARIS.
The Magazine has long maintained the repu-
tation of giving the most correct r fashions, &C :
companied by full letter press descriptions; and
this, to country subscribers especially, is great
desideratum. We get our Fashions in advance
| from Paris, SO we can never be beaten in this
department, but will always remain ahead
Each month, from variety Of Patterns, the
Fashions are selected, engraved,an colored for
us ahead Of all riuals! To each plate is added
a full letter press description, besides informa
{ ton on all the latest les. The other Maya
, zines have long been mere copyists of this one
which has now becume, in our eastern cities, the
Text Book of Fashion! So energetic are we il
this department, that we have Often actually
published the Fashions here before the Londor
J, Maya lines. OF rhese assertions we challenge
4 denial!
THE HOME DEPARTMENT.
;, To render our periodicals. FAMILY Maya
zine as well as lady's book, we give, every
month, New Receipts for Housewives, Pattern
for Embroidery, Lace Work, &c, &c; thus ma
! king a sort of wade mecum, indispensable Il
; every female, but especially to those in tn
= country, who would learn the latest improve
n ments in the city.
AUSEFUL HINT.
