GRAHAM'S MAG AZlNE,
With more splendid Embellishments, greater
popularity, and larger subscriptionAst
than any .Magazine in the country.
ELEGANT PARIS FASHIONS IN EVERY NO.
The great popularity of Grabams Magazine, in
every part of the Union, in consequence OF the en-
gagement of the very best writers contributors,
and artists of the highest celebrity and acknow-
ledged abilities to illustrate the work, has made 1t
sort of polar star to all the other periodicals. So
that every thing done by Graham is instantly pro-
missed by the whole tribe. The promise the public
might forgive, at least forget but the wretched
attempts made 10 initiate the costly and beautiful
works of art which adorn this work, and the power
ty of their limitations in the literary department,
have impaired the public confidence and given turn
to our periodical literature which would ultimately
bring it into disrepute and contempt.
We have resolved, so far as Graham is concern
ed to correct the error and the magazine litera-
ture of America is now confined to Graham and
| his imitators determined to give proper
direction to the popular taste; and propose III the
coming volume greatly to amplify the literary de-
partment of the work-to engage none but the very
best writers-to open field tornyoung writer's of
merit-and, in fine, to cultivate National Perodi-
cal Literature, which shall command respect at
! home and abroad.
| PREMIUMS FOR THE BEST ARTICLES.
$1,000 TO BE GIVEN IN PRIZES.
In order 30 call forth the very best talent that the
country can produce, we offer the following pre-
miums for the best articles the subjects desgna-
ted -
5000 for the best Sea Story, of not less than 80
| pages of the Magazine. 10
| 5000 for the best Story founded on our RcvbS
| tionary Incidents.
! 5000 for the best Essay on American, l@2er1

sWater WHch,' etc.
We have the pleasure of being able to announce
to the SO, 900 readers of Graham's Magazine, that
we shall commence the publication in the Novern.
Der number of Graham's Magazine, of new Novel
by James Fenmore Cooper, entitled The lsLETs
OF THE GULF Sea Move, ,swritten in the very
best vein of that accomplished novelist This Story,
which is intended to bring out the authors brilliant
powers in the description Of scenes and incidents,
while it will describe most powerfully nautical ad-
ventures and engagements, has a delightful vein OF
of sentiment running through the entire work. The
heroine 'RosE,' is of the sweetest characters
ever drawn by Mr.. Cooper, and one of the 'Old
Salts has a vein of humor and home-spun phloso-
ply equal to 'Natty Bumpo,'in his best days
This novel will run through twelve or fourteen
numbers of 'Graham,' and W predict for it "a rum
unequalled by anything Cooper has ever written.
Subscribers to the January volume Of the Maya
zine will receive the entire sheets of The lsets OF
the Gulf (which commences in November. 1t is
understood, that the novel will make from te., to
fifteen pages ertra in each number Of the Magazine,
SO that subscribers will receive this novel in adolf
ton the usual quantity of reading matter in Gra-
ham. The publishers have given TWELVE Hun
DRED DOLLARS for the novel; and with the Premi-
ums mentioned below Graham will undoubtedly
excel all the Magazines for lSe7.
