NOVEMBER Is SUES.

Having been confined, by sickness, thre'
the last three weeks. We have been unable
to notice the various magazines &c, that
have been received, so We give them pass
ing notice in single file 5a
I "Godey," for this month, is super-excel-
lents abounding in every combination of at
traction in taste, talent and skill.
I ssGraham'sp is not O whit behind the best
he ever issued. 1t needs no praisng, every
one who knows it, loves 1t dearly-a more
interesting periodical could not we'll BIO got
up.
Frank Leslie's Gazette Of Fashion," is
a large, splended and most fascinating mag
azine. In the Mmber and fnensss.. Of his
snsrayings, plates, cuts and patterns, he out
does all competitors, and besides, he gives
regular pattern maps with full directions for
cutting. DC Franks Lady's Book is bound
to be . great favorite with the ladies, and
many will subscribe so sooa ~ they sea Is.
Ii is bsautifal thing.
Frank Lesle's New-York Journal" il
also, a largo, handsome and interesting vol
ume, with an abundance Of the choicest read
ing, all got mp in the most fine and beautiful
sty!e--a volume bound would be worth three
times the subscription price.
" ilarper's"-one of the most solid and en-
tertainin. magazines there il Published. 1t
forms library that never gets old or out of
pIace-it is new, interesting, good and useful
everywhere, and no well endowed library
. will be without it. 1t is a real family book
"Peterson's Lady's Magazine, is really
sweet and desirable understanding Ia all
that makes a book admired. Peterson has
laid the foundation for great popularity for
his magazine, and he will reap the reward.
Great improvement will be made in this cap
itaI magazine for 1856. The reading matter
will be increased to nine hundred pages a year
Each number will contain steel engraving
q colored fashion plate, and about forty wood
cngravings. The fashions are always prettier
and later in Peterson than in any other mag
aziue Mrs. Ann 8. Stephens, the celebra-
ted author Of Fashion and Famine is one of
the editors, and writes exclusively for it, as
sisted by all the best female authors. The
terms are dollar less than those of other
magazines of similar rank, viz. 81, 90 year
inssead OF $500.
" Pu MANS" is becoming the star of mag
azine literature, and every number becomes
more interesting under its present manage
ment 1t has certainly gained much well de- |
served popularity and We now look with |
much interest for its monthly arrival.
"Dicksns Household Words" is always
neat, clean, and like an egg-~chock full Of
something good. 1t il a work one loves,
mos from long acquaintance. 1t never
gets nsipid, but one wants to sit down and
read il oil thorough before laying 1t asiGe.
We wonder more of our reading neighbors
don't subsoribe-we would not do without
it for twice the price. +
ssArthurs Home Magazine is neat apd /
