HARPER's PERIODICALS
1IARPER'S MAGAZINE.

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.
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
diffuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ OF the .sSeeiety for the Diifu-
sion of Useful Knowledge"
Phe 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. ts.ft{
There is no monthly magazine that an in.
telligent 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 Il more popular maglzine in the world
Netr England Homestead.
The most popular in its scheme, the most
! original of our MISREPRESENTATION.

HARpER's BAZAAR.

Free from all political and sectarian discas-
sion devoted to fashion, pleasure, and IN
struction, it is just the agreeable, eoinpan-
ionable, and interesting paper which every
mother and wife and sweetheart will require
every SON, husband, and loyer to bring home
with them every Saturday evening" hiia-
deiphid Ledger. Z"
This paper at the outset occupied n place
not filed by any American periodical, and
won for itself deserved popularity. 1t is
really the only illustrated chronicler of fash
ions in the country. Its supplements alone
are worth the subscription price of the paper.
While fully maintaining its. pc 'ition rs u mir
ror of fashion, it also contains stories, poems,
brilliant essays, besides general and person
al gossip. The publishers appear to have
spared no labor or expense necessary tomake
the Bazaar the most attractive journal that
can possibly be made.-BostOn Saturday Zee

Peferson's Magaeine for July more
than maintains it's old re-eminence
Its principal engraving is steel-plate,
q Mothers Darling" one that will go
to every woman's heart. The stories
are unusually good, even for Peter
son." Among them is "When we
went Yachting,e by Frank Lee Bene-
diet, with II capital illustration, a
spirited tale in this popular authors
very best vein. Then there is " Her
Modern Pickwick, J" by Daisy Ventnor,
and Ny Idees About Free Love-
as good as anything of the Widow
Bedott. "Miss Vernon's Choice is
"a story of great power, by Fanny
Hodgson, one of those frst-class
writers whom +" Peterson monopo-
Lies. The fashions in this magazine
are always the latest, and, what is as
necessary, the prettiest. " Peterson's"
is the only lady's book left that gives
colored steel fashion plates, and the
one in the July number is a miracle
of beauty. Every lady ought to have
this magazine on her eentre-table.
The price is only two dollars q year,
with great deductions to clubs: it is,
in every sense, the cheapest and best.
Now is a good time to subscribe, as a
new volume begins with the July
number. Address CHas. J. PETER

Saws the Thibodaux Sentinel :


We regret to- state that the pro-
iected rail road between this place and
Terrebonne Station and this place and
Labadieville will not be constructed
at present.
Mr.. Morgan requires too much bo-
nus for the people along the line of
route to give under existing circnm-
stances. Had he been willing to con-
struct the road on the same terms as
he allowed the citizens of Terrebonne
for the road between the Station and
Houma, the contract would have been
made at once. Arrangements had
been contaminated for that amount,
but when increased aid was demanded
no time was allowed to canvass the
country along the line of route pre-
vious to the departure of Mr.. Morgan
for Philadelphia. Therefore the propo-
sition remains open until next winter.

next.n If the Leader can cite single
instance where we have guided our
selves by its expressed ideas, it is
welcome to oHr hat. fElii3

The Leader complains that it " told
the CHIEF that Louisiana would take
none of the Liberal movement, but
our ideas were treated as worthless by
the CHIEF man." Aye, and they will
still be treated SO unless some evid-
ence of their truth and worth can be
presented.

Written for Our Fireside Friend.
When many years have rolled away
When we no more are young
When other voices may repeat
The songs that we have sung
When all thy youthful beauty pales,
Which time will not restore,
Some tender thoughts may come again
OF days that are no more.
The soul but slumbers to awake
Alike to joy and pain !;
And every holy thought and dream
Are sure to come again
The youthful heart, unmarr'd by care
But dreams OF days before
The old heart lives on memories
OF days that are no more.
There is phantom world to come,
Whose gateway is the tomb,
Where voices will be heard again
Beyond the hidden gloom.
Where shapes and. shadows of the past
Within the soul will stay
When human hearts aud human plans
Have crumbled to decay.
And then when years have rolled away
And we no more are young {;
When other voices may repeat
The songs that we have sung
When heavenly sunshine on the soul
Thy beauty may restore,
Some tender thoughts, perchance, wi
come
Ofdays that are no moro.
