GODEY, 323 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Ladies' Home Magazine for 1859. Volumes XIII and XIV. EDITED BY T. S. ARTHUR AND MISS VIRGINIA F. TOWNSEND. IN announcing the volumes of the HOME MAGAZINE for 1859, the publishers cannot but refer to the significant fact, that, while nearly every other literary periodical in the country lost ground during 1858, under the depressing influence of the times, the HOME MAGAZINE increased in circulation beyond any previous year! A fact like this needs no comment—it speaks for itself; and we only remark, on presenting it, that it has encouraged us in the work of preparing a magazine for tho HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, that shall come to both parents and children as a true and welcome friend, more than anything that has occurred since the initial number went forth. Our magazine will continue under the same editorial supervision as before, and its pages continue to be largely supplied from the editors' pens. Other writers of ability will aid in the task of producing a periodical which is designed to meet a want that no other work has attempted so broadly to supply. Besides the Literary Department, there will be, as heretofore, in each number A MOTHER'S DEPARTMENT, A HEALTH DEPARTMENT, Reliable Colored Fashion Plates and fine Steel Engravings, besides an almost endless variety of Needle-work Patterns, will continue to be given. In a word, the HOME MAGAZINE shall be all that its name implies; while in style of embellishment and beauty of typography, it will not be exceeded by any magazine of its kind in the country. The admirers of Miss TOWNSEND will be pleased to learn that she will commence, in the January number, a new novel, entitled "WAIT AND SEE,' To be continued through six or seven numbers of the Magazine. Those who have read her "LOOK OUT," need not be reminded of the pleasure that is in store for them. TERMS. One copy for one year, $2; Two copies for one year, $3; Four copies for one year, $5. All additional subscribers above four, at the same rate, that is, 81 25 per annum. Where twelve subscribers and $15 are sent, the getter-up of the club will be entitled to an additional copy of the Magazine. Specimens furnished to all who wish to subscribe or make up Clubs.
