NUMBER. 1883.

INHlS Popular Magazine has now attained a
Il circulation equalled by few Of its cotempo-
raries. 1t is the only thoroughly ORIGINAL Am
erican Illustrated Periodical, strictly speaking
now published in this country.
1t ranks among its contributors some of the
finest minds ON this continent its wood engrav-
ings are acknowledged to bc superior to any
other; and its inducements to subscribers are
Unequalled.
Since it has passed into the hands of its pres
ent proprietors, all sectional and party features
have been removed, and it may now deservedly
be classed as the highest exponent Of American
lteraturc--neutral in politics, and wholly Ma
tional and impersonal in its general character
The publishers have determined to continue
their great offer of MAGNIFICENT FIVE
DOLLAR PREMIUM ENGRAVING to every
Three Dollar Subscriber commencing with or at
any time since January, 1858.
The Engraving selected for the present year,
and which will be presented to every Three
Dollar Subscriber, is
THE LAST SUPPER,
well known to be the finest steel plate ever exc
cuted in this country costing over Sc, 900 to on
grave. A full description of this beautiful work
OF art will be found on the third cover page Of
the Magazine
1t is also the intention of the publishers to in
crease the attractions Of the Magazine in both
a literary and artistic point Of view, and TO add
to 1T several departments of interest and practi-
cal use not 10 be found in any other Monthly
Periodical So
In commencing the eth volume, the publish
ers feel encouraged to announce that hereafter
each successive volume will be an improvement
on its predecessors. 1t may not be generally
known that the present proprictors Of this Mag
azine have furnished EIGHT MONTHS subscription
for nothing to all those subscribers whose SUBJ
scriptons expire with the June number They
have not only done this. but have carried the
Magazine through period OF great financial
embarrassment without ineuiring liabilities; and
1t is but fair to suppose that thay will hereafter
be enabled to expend more upon the improve
ment Of its general appearance than heretofore,
having no longer a large gratuitous subscription
list on their books
