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 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 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 in which Haa-
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.
Harper's is edited. There is not u cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly a more popular magazine in the world

original OF our MISREPRESENTATION.
