HARPER's PERIODICALS.
HARPER's MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learns
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much to
dlffuse correct information concerning cir-
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful knowledge
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 III which Har
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Haiper's is edited There is not a cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly more popular magazine in the world

HARPER,s BAZAAR.

Free from all political and sectarian disci,as

mother and wife and sweetheart will require
every son, husband, and lover to bring homo
with them every Saturday evening. PhiLas

This paper at the outset occupied a place
not filled by any American periodical, and
won for itself u deserved popularity. 1t is
really the only Illustrated chronicler of fash

are worth the subscription price of the paper.
While fully maintaining its position as a mir

brilliant essays, besides general and person

handsome gold-headed butcher, who
grabbed him By the tail, swung him
round, cut his throat from ear to ear,
and in less than minute the carcass
was in the water. Thereupon he
came forward and said there were
times when the feelings overpowered
one, and for that reason he would not
attempt to do more than thank those
around him for the manner in which
SO huge an animal was cut into so
many fragments was simply astonish-
ing. The doctor Concluded his re-
marks, when the machine seized him.
and in less time than it takes to write
it, the hog was cut into fragments and
worked up into delicious sausage.
The occasion will long be remembered
by the doctors friends as one of the
most delightful of their lives. The
best pieces can be obtained for fifteen
cents pound, and we are sure that
those who have sat so long under his
ministry will be rejoiced that he has
been SO handsomely treated"
