No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
~ in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty. 3s
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted TO the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much to
ditfuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful Knowledge" go
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families IN which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telEgent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated
Harper's is edited There is not cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly more popular magazine in the world

This paper at the. outset occupied place
not filed by any American periodical, and
won for itself a deserved popularity. It is
really the only illustrated chronieler of fash

are worth the subscription price of the paper.
While fully maintaining IT'S position as a mir

brilliant essays, besides. general and person

spared no labor or expense necessary to make
