rank among its ravals, and is now universally
conceded to be
THE BEST AMERICAN MAGAZINE.

In the department of Art Graham's Mag.
azine has always been celebrated. The
excellence and beauty of its pictorial appoint
ments far surpass the usual adonments of
the Monthly Magazines. The very finest
and most expensive efforts Of the first artists
of Europe and America grace the work.
Every variety of subject and of style is
found in perfection in Graham No
indifferent or interior designs mar its beauty
but all that taste can suggest or capital
command in the way ofelegance is to be had
in the yearly volumes of this Magazine.
We ask our readers to take the twelve num-
bers OF last year and compare them with
the same number Of any current periodical
to test the vast superiority of Graham's
Magazine in this respect.
The new volume opens in style of ele-
gance that must convince our friends that
"EXcELsroR" is our motto for 1852, and that
"Graham" will continue to be THE FA-
VORlT OF THE PUBLIC, both in it's
pictorial and literary character while the
extraordinary increase of the amount of
reading matter will insure il still wider

Mrs. Brown. Appeal to Her Husband.
By J. X. HOLMES.


Why don't you take the paper, Brown!
I'm sure il is a shame
That we can't get the news from town,
Before its old and tame
There's Deacon Jones across the way,
Who gets one every week.
Aud he can beat you, they all say,
When called upon to speak.
The reason, sir, is plain you know,
For when he reads it through,
His words like milk and honey flow,
And all he tells is new;
So he is taken by the hand,
For what he can impart,
While old and young around him stand,
And say the Deacon's smart.
Oh, is it cot shame, l say,
To hug your purse so tight,
When mere bit of yellow clay,
Would set the matter right?
What good is gold, now can you tell,
To any of our kind.
Unless it keeps the body well,
And benefits the mind
Why don't you take the paper Brownl
I'm sure il is shame
That we can't get the news from town,
Before its old and tame;
Now let us quit this simple way,
And take worthy start,
And ere year our friends will say,
The Browns are getting smart.
