. GRAHAM's AMERICAN MONTHLY
MAGAZINE, for January, 1854, is, in
our opinion, superior to any of the jan
uary magazines AS yet. 1t contains one
hundred and thirty pages of reading
matter of superior quality, two splendid
steel plates and large number of wood
cuts, illustrative of the text. In the
course of the ensuing year the Illustrat-
ed Life of Washington, by j. T. Head
ley, will be given. The price of the
magazine for the year is So, with lib-
eral discount to clubs. Edited by Geo.
r. Graham, published by r. H. See &
Co., Philadelphia.

Dec. 10th, in a greatly improved style
The first page of the Museum is filled
with vignette which must have been
got up" at a great outlay of expense.
In his prospectus for this volume, the
publisher says that he has prepared a
variety of new and brilliant features for
the coming volume, such as will main

class American Authors. Also, original
sketches, humorous and serious, of every
day life, including none which are not
marked for truth to nature, piquancy,
and decided literary merit. Original
poems, by genuine poets, (not poetas-
ters) many of whose names have long
added to the fame of Dodge's Literary
Museum, which from its commencement
over five years ago, until the present,
has always been a favorite with the
public. With the present number COM
mences the publication of the $500 prize
tale, selected from sixty complete MSS:
