Woods Household Magazine

Most heartily do we welcome the May num-
Der of Woods Household Magazine. We
hardly recognize it as it entered our Office in
its new spring clothes; but while admir-
ing the color and quality of its dress, we
were delighted to discover that it adorned
our old friend. The improvements which
have followed thick and fast in this Maga-
zine, show the enterprise and success of It's
publishers. The heavy paper is great ad
dition as well as the cover, and its typograph-
ical appearance is unsurpassed.
Its contents are unexceptionable, and
among its list Of contributors are some of the
most noted writer's of the day. We do not
understand how Mr.. Wood is able to do SC
much for SO little money-nevertheless we
are very glad to acknowledge his achieve
mcnts. The Magazine is furnished for the
small sum Of one dollar. Specimen copy

-r DIED.
In Stroudsburg, on the 18th inst, Charlie
Edgar, son of w. E. b. g. l.. Anna Palmer
aged years, months and 10 days.
The child we loved has past away,
The form so dear no more we see,
No more we meet the eyes mild ray,
Nor catch the smile of JOY and glec.
Is not the dream of Heaven more sweet,
Bright with the living forms of love,
Does not each trial that we meet,
Raise our rapt spirits more above.
Yes, death that pales our curdling check,
Tells of our angels opening bliss,
Again, we view the form we seek,
Bright with immediate happiness.
