This cheap and favorite ladies' monthly for Novem-
Der is upon our table. 1t is as usual, filed with
choice reading matter, valuable pattern plates,
fashions, &C. From the prospectus Of 1861, we
learn that this popular monthly is to be greatly
improved next year. How it is to be done, it be-
ing now among the best in the country, we are at
loss to perceive. The prospectus for 1861 says:
| at has now a circulation of about 100000; or
ten times as much any Other two dollar Magazine
1t contains 1000 pages of double column reading
matter yearly from 20 to 80 Steel Plates and about
500 Wood Engravings which is proportiona!ely
more than any periodical, at any price, gires.

the best published anyChere. The editors are Mrs.
Ann S. Stevens, author of Mary Derwent,' Fash
ion and Famine; and Charles Peterson, author of
the old Stone Mansion Kate Aylesford,' The
Valley Farm, ETC., etc.; and they are assisted by
