HARPER's PERIODICALS,
HARPER,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.
It's scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, arc 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 1t
was the organ of the Society for the Ditftl-
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 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.
| Harper's is edited. There is not cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
! eddy a more popular ma gazine in the world

original of our Experimentation.

POWER OF NEwsPAPERs.-Rome be-
came corrupt, and fell. But it had no
newspapers. New York became cor
rupt. It has newspapers, and by them
it has been purified. The dangers to
a republic are from the men it honors
and trusts!and these men, accustomed
to honor, feel disgraced most keenly.
How newspaper does impale the of
fetal wrongdoerl It writes his of
fences ON his forehead, and stands
him on ounces block in public view,
to receive the dreadful pity of the
public. In this way have lately been
punished venal legislators, raseally
city officials, and corrupt custom house
officers. There is no danger of the
republic dying of foul air while it car
enjoy the purifying effects of news

HARPER'S BAZAAR.

Free from all political and sectarian discus
sion, devoted to fashion, pleasure, and in
struction, it is just the agreeable, compan-
ionablc, and interesting paper which every
mother and wife aud sweetheart will require
every son, husband, and lover to bring home
with them every Saturday evening.-Phtia-
deLphia Ledger.
This paper at the outset occupied place
not filled by any American periodical, and
won for itself deserved popularity. 1t is
really the only illustrated chronicler of fash
ions in the country. lis supplements alone
are worth the subscription price OF the paper.
While fully maintaining its position as a 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 to make
the Bazaar the most attractive journal that
can possibly be made.-Rosten Saturday Ere
