VIE SUBSCRIBERS. responding 70 the re-
1 peated and urgently expressed wish OF emf
nent and judicious persons in various sections of
the country, have decided to commence, on the
tyh Of January. 1853. AN ENTIRELY ORIGl-
NAL PERIODICAL. under the above title.
1t 10 intended to combine the lighter character
1stics OF popular magazine with the hiaAer and
graver qualities OF quarterly review, filing
position hitherto unoccupied in our literature.
While attractive VARIETY for the general reader
Is thus obtained, there will be attempt to secure
substantial ExcELLEscE in Zach department
To accomplish this we intend that the work in
all its mechanical and business aspects sGAll be
such as will meet the views of our most dstin-
guished writers-such medium as they would
seek for in communicating with the world, and
such as may tempt some to write ably and profta-
bly, who have not hitherto contributed to periodi-
GALS 90
We intend that all articles admitted into the
work shall be literally paid for.
We believe that an ample material exists for
such work; that there is no lack either of talent
among our writers OF Of appreciation ON the part OF
the reading public; and that properly conducted
periodical Of this kind may bring to light much
true genius as yet undeveloped.
"Putnam's Monthly" will be devoted to the in
terests of Literature, Science and Art-n their best
and pleasantest aspects.
Entirely independent of all merely selfish in
terests, partisan sectional leanings, in its
management. it will be open to competent writer's
for free discussion of such topics as are deemed im-
portant and of public interest
The critical department will be wholly indepen
dent of the publishers, and far possible Of all
influence or bias Wholesome castigations
Of public abuses will be allowed fair field without
fear or favor.
An elevated national tone and spirit American
and Independent, yet discriminating and just,
both to the literature and 10 the social condition
nd prospects of both hemispheres, will be cult
waited a Leaking principle of the work.
Special attention will be given to matters con;
nected with social policy, municipal regulations
public health and safety, and the practical econo-
mics of every day life
While subject needs illustration or pictorial
example, such illustrations will be occasionally
gven but it is not expected that the of the
work is to depend on what are termed ''embeliish-
ments''
The following, among many others. have
pressed their hearty approval Of the plan, and will
all give it their general cooperation, while yearly

GRAHAM AND Cooley, BOTH FOR 81 PER

THE WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION and &C.
i knowiedged ability of these popular Maya
zines render long descriptions and elaborate puff
cry unnecessary. They are known and read in
every corner of our country, and are as household
words in the mouths of those who pretend to judg-
ment in Literature or taste in Art. The pens of
our most accomplished writers, well as the bu
rims OF the ablest artists enlisted to enrich and
adorn their pages-and all that is now famous in
letters or beautiful in engravings in the world of
periodical literature, is owing to the fostering care
and lavish expense of these two prominent Anne
rican periodicals.
Their imstators fail alscays in equaIling them, for
want OF public support, and the poor dupes who
are led to subscribe to the hastily born enterprises
which spring up every year to delude the public,
with promises of wind and words of sound, find
that these .ce established .corks are yet the only
reliable sources to which they look for faith
full performance of all contracts entered into with
subscribers.
The publishers of Cooley and of Graham, have
determined that for 1853 they will surpass in the
cheopness, elegance and merit of their periodicals,
all that has ever been attempted, and the works
are dissimilar, have resolved to place both within
the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly
posted up in the yimproying periodical lite
nature Of the age.
The best and freshest, both in Literature and
Art, will be found in their ample and greatly mul
tiplied pages, and they challenge the world to
eel or equal the for Incoming volumes, either in the
beauty and cost of their adorn ments, the merit and
amplitude of literary matter, in the cheapness
and accommodating terms with which they are pre-
rented to the American public.

Printers.

Printers.
PRINTERS, it is said, universally die at an
early age. This is doubtless caused by the
noxious efluvia arising from the types, the
want of exercise, constant confinement, and
the late hours to which their work is pro-
longed. There is no other class of human
beings whose privileges are as few, whose
labor is as continuous, and whose wages are
as inadequate, as Printers. If TYPO :"
be man of family, he is debarred of the
privilege of enjoying their society at all
times, because his hours OF labor are almost
endless, and his moments Of leisure so few
that they must be spent in sleep to recruit
his exhausted energies, and prepare him for
q renewal of his tolls Poor fellow, he
knows nothing of sociability, and from ne
eessity, Is as clearly shut out from the
world as convict in a prison cell Truly
he is in the world, yet knows not Of it,
until premature old age ends his existence
For the advancement of science, morality,
and virtue, the cords of his heart are sun
dered, one by one, and when his race is
run and time to him is no more, he goes
down to the grave uncared for, and un-
known, though his existence has been sac
riiced for the benefit of his race.
When We hear mechanics crying out
against oppression, and demanding certain
hours for labor and for rest, we cannot but
reflect upon the situation Of our own craft,
how every moment of their lives is forced
into service to earn bare subsistence, and
how accomplishing they devote themselves
to the good of that same public who wear
them as q loose garment, to be donned
when convenient, and DOTTED when no long
ct needed
Printers are universally poor men, and
tor two reasons; The first is-they rarely
ever receive fair compensation for their
services. And the second is-that euured
20 continual suffering, priyation, and toll,
their purse strings are ever united at the
bidding Of charity, and the hard earned
dimes are freely distributed for the re-
lief of their fellow men. Thus it is that
they live poor, and die poor; and if suit
able reward does not await them after
Death sad indeed must be the beginning,
the existence, and the end of poor typos"
