VNAKE II TO YOUR HOME.

1t ia SO much the fashion nowadays to con-
vey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of ad-
dress. The mass of people, especially the young,
demand stories to such a degree, that papers
filed with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have wide circulation. To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND
HOME, in addition to the usual variety of that
paper, have engaged a corps of frst-class writer's
among whom are Jean 1ngelow, Edward Eg
gleston, Mary +. Dodge, Louisa M. Alcott, Ed
ward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Harriet Prescott Spofford, Rose Terry, Maria r.
Oakley, Lucia @. Runkle, and many Others, who
furnish to this journal the best original Stories
of the purest character and highest grade-thus
conveying much instruction in pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND
HOME contains large amount of firstelass
reading, editorials, literature art, science,
amusement; instruction for the housekeeper
the gardener, the farmer; a capital department
for children and youth; the news of the day
financialland market reports, etc. Its engravings
costing over $25, 600 year, of high order OF
merit, unsurpassed by any illustrated paper in
he world. Altogether, HEART n AND HOME
is such journal as may be safely and very pro-
fltably taken into any family. 1t is supplied at
the low rate of SO year; four copies for 81 !;
and ten or more copies for 81. 90 each.
