THE july NumBER of "Peterson's Maga.
zine" is on our table, and is unusually
good, even for this unrivalled Monthly,
The principle establishment is q spirited
steel en- ngraving, "Ahead of the Field" il
Illustrating an old-fashioned love story. The
fashion plate is on steel and richly colored.
Peterson" be il known, is celebrated for
the surprising style and beauty of his
Paris fashion plates The stories are al.
original, and by our very best walters. 1t
| gives more for the money than any other.
| iadccd. it is standing wonder how so
good magazine can be published at so
low price, viz, $500 TO single subscri-
bers, Sl.50 to clubs of four; but it is to be
accounted for, we suppose, by the enor-
nous circulation. As the publisher says,
"a small profit on large edition is better,
| both for the public and for him, than a
| large profit on q smaller edition." No lady
Of taste ought to be without Jefferson 81
Now is the time to subscribe, for the July
number begins Il new volume, and sub
scriptions will he taken, if desired, for six
| months, at half price, so that the subscrip-
| ton may end with the year. Address

luxury, and those who spend fabulous
SUMS in purchasing Sheet Music are
simply throwing their money away. If
our musical friends will take the trouble
to procure cepy Of Peters Musical

friends are doing namely, getting bet
ter Music at one and two cents piece

valuable publication contains thirty-six
pages Of Music, printed from full-size
music plates, embracing Sacred and
Secular Songs. Duets, Choruses, Polkas,
Waltzes. etc.. in every issue.

Music, neatly bound, that would cost
Just four dollars and fifty cents in sheet
form. You can get it by mail, postpaid,
by sending thirty cents to J. L. Peters,

THE newest and best, the most beau
tiful and brilliant, consequently the
most nonular and fashionable songs are
Three Little Words, by j. A. Butter
field, author of "Sweet Ethel May"
"When you and I were Young Maggie" !"
etc., and The Beautiful Days That are
Past, by the popular Frank Howard,
author of "Guess Who?" and "Little
Barefoot"
The melody of Three Little Words is
as sweet as a wild wood-bird's love song,
and the words as beautiful as flower
strewn prairie.
Mr.. Howard, in a letter to the pub
Usher, notifying him of the completion
of The Beautiful Days That are Past,
says: 81 think the song one of the
best I hare e0er acritten."
