The World at Home-We are in recent
OF the hrst number of a new monthly maya
Zlne, bearing the above caption, lust issued
In Philadelphia by Messrs. Evans & Co. It
is the best effort at magazine literature that
mas ever came under our observation, and
upon Its own intrinsic merits alone cannot
fail to secure and maintain leading posi-
tion IN the literary world. It iKreplete with
the productions of some Of the best American
ana european authors, is deliberately illus
trated, and is issued upon g new and novel
plan, whereby every subscriber obtains al
opportunity each month to secure an article
OF merchandise, worth from So to $500, by
the investment of only $3 for the magazine

Tor goods awarded. Send So cents for spe-
cimen of the magazine and one check and

traordinary inducements to agents.
The Age.-We publish elsewhere the an
nouncement of great reduction in the SUBJ
scrlption price of the weekly issue of the
Philadelphia Age, and shall next week give
place to the regular prospectus of this ster-
ling Democratic journal. The Age is the
leading Democratic organ of this State. and
has ever been frm, faithful and efficient
advocate of the peoples rights, and an un-
nlnchlng opponent Of Radical miSrule and
corruption. No Democrat who can afford
the outlay should withhold his patronage
from paper so eminently deserving of gen
eral support and encouragement.
The metropolitan Record a mammoth
weekly published in New York, is invalua-
ole as democratic family journal. We

buttons Of which it is almost entirely made
up) are more forcible or exhaustive. Tie
letters of ''R E. Bel'' are alone worth the
subscription price, So per year.
