ApPleton's Journal for 1874.

Appleton's Journal will henceforth be
enlarged TO the extent of four more pages
of reading. The Journal has always
contained a larger quantity of reading
matter than any other periodical of its
class, and this addition renders it the
cheapest literary periodical in the coun-
try. Applcton's Journal gives, in a
weekly form, all the features Of a month
ly magazine. Its weekly issue brings il
a more frequent visitor TO the family
than is the case with monthly periodi-
ical, while, III the course of the year, a
much greater aggregate and a larger va
riety Of papers are furnished than are
gwen in any Of the regular monthlies.
But, for those who prefer it, the Journal
is put up in Monthly Parts, and in this
form its scope and variety, as compared
with other magazines, become conspicu-
ously apparent.
Appleton's journal will continue to
present healthful, sound, instructive, and
entertaining literature. 1t will coniine
itself as a rule to one serial HOrel at time,
it will contain the best short stories at
tainable; it will give picturesque des-
criptions of places, and stirring narra-
tives of travel and adventure; it will
have entertaining papers upon various
subjects that pertain to the pursuits and
recreations of the people; il will give
portraits and sketches of persons distin-
guished in various walks Of life; will
present lively, social sketches, having in
special view those things the knowledge
of which will contribute 10 the welfare
and happiness of the household; il will
describe phases of life in all quarters of
the globe; it will discuss the important
events of the time, and the advances
made in art, Literature, and science; il
will endeavor to reflect the ideas, move
ments, and development of society; and,
while hoping to enlighten, will strenu-
usly aim to entertain, with large abund-
ance of material, all who resort 10 its
pages for intellectual pleasure. Illus
tration will be used sufficiently to give
variety and animation to its pages; but
the aim will be to make it rather a jour
nal of popular high-class literature than
merely vehicle for pictures. In carry
ing out this programme, the editors will
have the aid Of the ablest writer's pro-
durable.

devotion of our sisters of the Rebecca

appearance in regalia to keep them from
the performance of their last sad duty
to departed sister.
