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
ditfuse 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 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.
Harpers is edited. There is not a cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly a more popular magazine in the world
Neio England Homestead.
The most popular in its scheme, the most
original of our MISREPRESENTATION.

We;find the following anecdote in a
Grant and Wilson, newspaper:
ga rolored porter, bright and intel
ligentS and formeflya slave, was asked
yesterday:
Well, John, alie you a voter?'
'Yes SIR
Are You going to vote for Gree
ley?'
why, Sir, myiold master is going
to vote for Greeley and the look
which, accompanied the answer was a
sufficient index of its force"
What is the point of this? Is it not
that between those who were once
slaves and those who were once slave
holdets there mast be il bitter and
endless feud? After the 5original par
ties aye dead, are these enmities to be
transmitted, legacy Of hatred, to
their children And what are the mis-
named Republicans doing but seeking
to perpetuate in the Southern States

tions State Journal.

NOT AT ALL REIARKABLE.-The

a statement to the effect that ga horse
in Iowa pulled the plug out of the
bunghele of water barrel and slaked
his thirst" As the horse could not
have sfaked his thirst without pulling
the plug out of the bunghole of the
barrel I'VE do not see any thing extra
ordinary in the occurrence. Now, if
the hose had pulled the barrel out of
bunghole, and slaked his thirst with
the plag, or if tn barrel had pulled
the btInghole OUT Of the plug, and
slaked; its thirst with the horse, or if
the plug had pulled the horse out of

slakel the plug with the barrel, or if

worth while to mike some fuss over it.
