A Musical Periodical, designed to circulate
among the homes of the people, Is NO new idea,
for the want of it has been 80 long felt that there
are but very few persons musically inclined, TO
whom the thought has not naturally suggested
itself. In Europe, q dozen works Of this class
exist, which circulate hundreds of thousands OF
copies. They are looked for with the same ex-
peetanoy as the weekly papers, or the monthly
magazines. Their popularity arises, not so much
from the fact that they are cheap, as from the
fact that they are collection affording variety
in style, vocal and instrumental, calculated to
suit overy taste. Their cheapness is, Of course,
a recommendation, for in all Of them, as in FOR
TUNES MUSICAL HOST, the music given for
fifty cents would, in separate pieces at the mu.
sic stores, cost over three dollars. A saving,
taking into consideration tho admirable manner
of their production, that no one, in these times
can afford to despise.
This monthly publication, now in the com.
mcncement of its third year, has met with a suo-
cess altogether unprecedented In the history of
Musical EXPERIMENTS, either In America, or In
Europe.
Cheap musical publications have hitherto fail
cd, because they were just as cheap in their style
Of production, as they were In their scale OF
charges.
Tee Publisher of tho MUSICAL HOST is do.
termined to make this work model Of beauty
in style, and artistic in every respect first in the
superior excellence of its Music, comprising Orig.
NAL Compositions by popular writer's of Europe
and America, together with choice selections of
italian A1ias, German, English, and American
Songs, Duetsand Quartettes, Pieces do Salon for
Piano, Polkas, Mazurkas, Schottisches, Quad
rifles, and other Piano Music, suitable both for
amusement and instruction.

MUSICAL HOST
Is printed in the best manner, upon fine and
costly paper. Its Title Page and illustrations
are beautiful in design, and engraved in the
highest style Of Art. Each Monthly part con-
tans from four to six pieces of music.
The work is edited with view to suit every
taste, and its contents are both popular and eas-'
sic, combining the dulce ct utite. Conducted on
this principle, the work has met with the most
aatteling success, numbering its subscribers from
every state in the Union.
The MUSICAL HOST has been established in
field of labor wherein all other aspirants had
failed to secure footing. We are, therefore,
led to infer that We have adopted the right course
whereby to meet the requirements OF the discern
ing and progressive Musical world of the United
States.
Our long experience in the publishing business
warrants US in promising that the expectations of
our subscribers, in regard to the character, the
growth, and the success Of the MUSICAL HOST
will be thoroughly satisfied. For upwards of
quarter Of century We have been associated
with eminent publishers, and every literary en-
terprize with which the name Of Fortune has
been connected has been successful In the fullest
sense of the word. Never having known failure,
we do not propose to make its acquaintance now.
