A Musical Periodical, designed to circulate
among the homes of tho people, is no new idea,
for tho want Of 1t has been SO long fc that there
are but very few persons musicaliy inclined, TO
whom the thought has not naturally susgeste7
itself In Europe, dozen works of this cas-
exist, which circulate hundreds of thousands QF
lcopies. They are looked for with the same er-
pectaney as the weekly papers, or the monthly
magazines. Their popularity arises, not so much
from the fact that they arc cheap, as from tie
fact that they are collection afording variety
| in style, vocal and instrumental, calculated to
suit every taste. Their cheapness Is, of course,
| q recommendation, for in all Of them, as in FoE-
TUNES MUSICAL HOST, the music given FOX
fifty cents, would, in separate pieces at the mu'
sic stores, cost over three dollars. saving,
taking into consideration the admirable mann"
Of their production, that no one, in these times
can afford to despise.
This monthly publication, now in the con-
mencement of its third year, has met wiz ste
cess altogether Unprecedented in the history o:
Musical experiments, either in America, or in
Europe.
Cheap musical publications have hitherto fall
ed, because they were just as cheap in their stric
of production, as they were in their scale oi
charges.

| tcrmined to mako this work model of beauty
