Grand Literary and Artistic Com
binatiOn,

Arrangements have been made to furnish the
KNIcKERBoCKER MAGAZINE, the HOME JOURNAL,
and the New YoRK MUSICAL World AND TIMES,
to NEW SUBSCRIBERS, for FIVE DOLLARS year,
This is cheap literature, with vengeance. The
Knickerbocker is SO per annum; the HOME jour
NAL, So; and the MUSICAL WORLD AND Times, So;
making S8 year. at the usual rates. That three
such works can be obtained for FIVE DOLLARS a
year, is fact truly worthy The CALoRlc age,
which is just now being uShered in. OF the
kNIcKERBocKER MAGAZINE, edited by LEWIS GAY
LORD CLARK, il is unnecessary to speak, For
twenty years it has bten the most genial, humor-
Gus, and spicy "monthly' in the world and the
present volume will be better than any which
prect ded it. The HOME JOURNAL, edited by GEO.
p. MoRRIs, and N. P. WILLIS, is we'll known as
the best family newspaper in America; and the
MUSICAL WORLD AND TIMES, edited by RICHARD
SToRRs WILLIS, with LOWELL MASON, GEO. H.
CURTIS, THOMAS HASTINGS, VIM. BRArDUUY,
GEo. F. RooT, and other musical writers contrib
uting; and which gives, among other things, over
S25 worth of music and full course Of inStruc-
tlon in harmony annually, is the very best musi-
cal journal ever published. These three publ
cations will post family up in regard to nearly
every thing worth knowing-Art, Science, Liter
ature; Music, Painting, Sculpture; Inventions,
Discoveries; Wit, Humor, Fancy, Sentiment; the
Newest Fashions and other attractions for Ladies;
Choice New Music for the Sabbath, the Church,
and the Fireside; Reviews and Criticisms Of Mu-
steal Works, Performers and Performances; in
short, the very pink and cream of Novelty, Incl
dent, History, Biography Art, Literature, and
Science; including whatever can be given in pc
riodicals TO promote Healthy Amusement and
Solid Instruction in the family, and help 10 make
it Better, Wiser. and Happier, may now be OBJ
tanned for FIVE DOLLARS. Address DYER d WILL
LIS, 257 Broadway.

The best evidence that eau be adduced in favor
Of the efficacousnesS of Hoofand's German Bit
ters prepard by DR.. G. NJ. Jackson is the unprece-
dented demand for them from all parts of the
Union; and although there may be many com
pounds prepared and represented as being worthy
Of liberal patronage, yet we feel constrained to
remark, that the vast number of testimonials
with which the worthy doctor has deem honored,
by persons of the highest character and respecta-
bility, who found it necessary TO have recourse
to his preparation, Is testimony sufficiently con-
elusive, that more etIectual remedy for the
almost immediate relief of lose afflicted with
that direful malady, dyspepsia, has never been
discovered.

Perfumes.

1t was once very fashionable to almost lit
orally baptize the body with fragrant extracts,
but this practice has we'll nigh become obso-
lete. We occasionally meet with an instance,
however, even in this latter day, of corporal
inhibition of odiferous particles. The last
case we saw was in the person of q hairy
faced chap, who had something growing on
his upper lip. ~ostensive that it was cultivated
to sneezc at! The delicate creature was
firmly encased in a she'll of gaudy clothes that
shined-oh sparkled! His mode of migra-
ton from one point to another was peculiar,
and brought wildly to our mind a scene we
once witnessed when a boy it made us laugh
then and it makes US grin yet; the scene was
simply the half run, half flight of a venera-
BILE turkey over a bed of hot ashes! The lit
tie creatures chOLer was up too, not precise
ly mad, mind We, but his choler was in the Ia
test admissible altitude, and showed how IA
tai to his tiny organs of addition would have
been a slight oscillation of his sleek, poma-
tuned head! When he passed us, bless the
age we live in, how fragrant How like the
sprigs of myrtle, Of many roses from the gar
dens of the orient wales, and how likethe green
lavender, the cinnamon of Ceylon and the
sweet smelling hyssop! The circumambi-
ent air became laden with the rich molecules
of fragrance, and our olfactories were filled
with the exhalations When the delicate
creature of fragrance passed us on his swift
-
urkey-burnt-foot-fight we at first laughed
outright and then fell to moralizing. We
reasoned thus the practice being obsolete
among genteel folks, the example we had
just witnessed, in his natural, unperfumed
state, must have smelled like destruction, or
he never would have bedaubed his precious
self with bears grease and patchouly, in or
der to be considered a decent young man.
This was our conclusion after rejecting a
moment that decent, cleanly people never
think nowadays of having resource to the
p%erfumer's shop while they have access tc
