Fashions. Experience has fully satisfied
us, that the literary periodical", as now pub
liehed, cannot give authculic plate of f sliinn.
In no cine is the Paris or London fashions
published by the Manzine in :his countty
earlier than two months from ilia tine of
their pro-nu'j;a,tioit aliroad. Tltu reason is,
that it requ.res two weeks for the Steamer to
bring tbu fashions to this country fotn Lou- J
don. and ai loast lour weeks to engrave,
print, and color them. Hero are six weeks,
And ai th? Magazines are nil l.ouud up two
weeks in advance of the fj.gttla) (if the month
for which they are publish- d, it is plain that
the fasliiot they contain are two mouths b -hind
the Londeo, and still longer behind the
sris st)les.
iX months experenco as pu! li hers, has
npeaed our eyes lo t'.is inafer; and nothing
but oar promise te do so could have induced
us to continue the fashion plates through the
last volume. Now, honesty compels us to
Ihrnw them UM(!e;unii wo du so without a
moment's hi'sitatiou. In temiiiinciiig the
pulil.Cfitioa ol this work, it was witli the ex
press agreement among the parties concern
ed, that all mere pretensions Mid humbug
aliould be atudivutly avoided, that, above
all tilings, no la I -e statements should be
made in proejiectuses und iidvertsements.
True to t; tie principle of action, we cast u.-ide

literature and fashion is an unnatural one; anil

In order, however, te gratify those of our

until the present time, when it has a circulation
exceeding by Ihoiisands any other Magazine in the
country, isperh.ips as guod an evidence of its gt eat
and increasing merit as the publisher has it in his
power to oll'el. To his old siibn ribeis, he (rusts
no assurances are necessary ol hisdetermiiidtiou to
niuintuiii its present ascendancy over all the rival
periodicals ol the country. The engagement, per
manently, duiiig the past ) ear, ilsuth melius

Graham's Magazine has been, from its establish
ment, more than any other, the f.ivonle periodical
of the people of the United Stales Though its
plan does not eutuely exclude articles ol the most
important character, such as have raised Black
wood and some other loieign journals to their
high inlliieiiceand reputation, Us p.ig-s arc prni
cipallv devoted to n hat is usually termed light
liteialure. it is distingui.-hed fiom other onhli
cations of similar aims bv the literary and artistic
merit of its contents. While those of other works
are unknown or anonymous, the conlrihutois In
this are the most eminent authors ol our age and
country; the very crealors, lounders, of our -Sa
tional Literature. Especially is it celebrated a:
containing the choicest pro dictions of the linest
female writers of the tune. Every number con
tains gems whiih may be appealed to with pride by
the sex, as vindicating then intellectual eminence.
It may snfely be asserted, that Graham's Maga
ziue has regularly engaged a heller corps of wriu-rs
than any oilier uiaganuue; that since its establish
ment it has been the pioneer in magazine literature;
and that the contributors ol "Giuliani" have, by
their ablo contribution-, giveu a higher national
character to periodical liteialure in the United
States than it evei ot lore possessed. H nil s ich

'1 HE MOST ACCOMPLISHED AMERI
CAN AUTIS I S employ their ireuius for our suln
scrihers. The most elegant engravings that have
ever appeared in Ainciica, have been given to the
puhhc in Graham s Magazine. W e are now pie-
paied to give the right direction to the talents of
our artists, and are resolved that a national lime
shall be strictly preserved in "Graham." Hereaf
ter we shall place in the engravers hands none but
ainmcan pictures. Our own country abounds
with the linest scenery in the world. It is full of
historical associations, of thrilling interest, and on
every hand subjects start up, lit lot Hie painter
pencil and the engraver's buring. Every patriot,
ic sentiment urges the selection of national subjects
for the pen aud pencil, and wc feel a-siired that the
American ptililm will sustain (lie enterprise.
VARIETY Ut MAGMl'ICfc.N 1 tiNUKAV-
1NGS. No magazine in the world has presented
so great a variety of elegant engravings to ts sub
scribers as Graham's. Every branch of art is
brought into requisition, and every novelty in
Scenery, or incident in American History, that
can interest or instruct the reader, is seized upon
by the artists in our employ. Among the styles to
be put forth in our new volume, for 16 J5, wo will
enumerate the following :
AMEKICA.N HATTLE-GUOUNDS. Giv
ing correct pictures, taken on 'he spot, of the places
in which the most mnnrkabk baltl'S have been
fought. These engravings will be of the highest
order of art; and we may mention, that in order to
insure a permanency in the elegance for which
these designs have already become celebrated, we
have engaged .Mr. Smillie for three years, on Amer
ican Scenes and Incidents.
PREMIUM PICTURES AND ENGRAV
INGS. In addition to this, we have entered into
permanent engagement with the house ot Raw
don, Wright & Hatch, of New York, for o supply
of most exuuitite pictures, among which we Inay
mention a seiiesof elegant INDIAN AND PRAI
RIE SCENES, got up in most magnificent style,
aud representing, from sketches taken from nature,
the most beautiful scenery of our western country.
Our Southern Views, engraved by the same house,
which have become so widely popular, will also be
continued. The exquisite female heads engraved
by this firm among which we may instance that
ofMra. Stephens, which has never been equalled
in this country will be further supplied by Messrs.
R. W. 8c 11., whose facilities and talents, in their
line of art, are unrivaled in the woild. We may
safely say that we have all the best artists employ
ed on" Graham."
OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY occupies the
time of several accomplished artists, among whom
are Welch & Walter, G. Parker, and others.
PORTRAITS OK AUTHORS is a feature ori
ginated by the proprietor of Graham, and success
fully carried out. ' We defy any cotnpeti.inn in
this branch. SARTAIN'S ELEGANT MEZ
ZOTINTS Mr. Sartaiu will furnish us, fur the
New Volume, a scries of his magnificent mezzot
ints. One will appear in January. We need
not say to the readers of Graham, that these brilli
ant pictures excel any mezzotints ever issued in
America, and his finest efforts have appeared in
this work.
FLOWERS COLORED FROM NATURE,
truthfully drawn by an able artist, to take a place
in a department, got up expressly for the ladies, for
the New Volume, embracing embracing THE
LATEST FASHIONS, NEW STYLES OF
NEEDLE WORK. AND ORNAMENTAL
WORK, ETC., ETC. With letters on topics
connected witn female interests, will also form a
feature of the New Volume.
COMIC AND HUMOROUS SKETCHES.
Mr. J. C. Neal, E. A. Poe, II. II Weld, and
others will furnish a scries of amusing sketches,
which will be haud.ninely illustrated by Cloome,
or Dai ley. We shall al.-o have HINTS AT
FASHIONABLE LIFE IN LETTERS FROM
ABROAD, written by F. J. Grimd, Esq., Con
sul to Antn eip, who will also furnish us with the
earliest litea&ry intelligence, aud short notices of
new works, prior lo their appearance here hi the
shape of reprints. This will give "Graham" a po
sition to adjust the value of foreign woiks, before
the purchaser here has been duped by puffs paid
for by interested publishers.
EDITORIAL AND CRITICAL DEPART
MENT. The Editorial Department will contin
ue to embrace notes on current literature, and re
views of all new American or foreign works of
general interest or value. The criticisms of Gra
ham's Magazine are acknowledged in all parts of
the country to be superior in acumen, honesty and
independence to I hose of any cotemporaries
Greater scope will be given to this department of
the work, and topics on all subjects likely to at
tract attention will be fearlessly dUcussed. In
this department wc shall give a chapter on FASH
IONABLE GOSSIP each month, hitting off the
follies of the fashionable woild, for (he amusement
of our lady readers; and for the gentlemen; Frank
Forester has promised us HINTS ON SPORTS
AND PASTIMES, a feature which we have no
doubt will be of interest to many thousands of our
readers. Wc have also made arrangements for a
large supply of Origin d Music with eminent com
posers so that we shall present next volume A
MOST AMPLE MUSICAL DEPARTMENT,
suited to tba wants ol a very large number ol ladies,
and of value, in itself, equal lo the subscription to
"Graham." ONE PARAGRAPH MOKE. IMPORTANT-READ

Tightness of the Lungs or Chest, Sfc. S,-c. The
proprietor has never known au instance where they
did uut give perfect satisfaction. Several thousand
boxes have been sold within the last year, restoring
lo health persons in almost every stage of consump
tion, and those laboring under the most distressing
colds and coughs.
Jonathan IIoa nrth, esq. the well known temper
ance lecturer, took a severe cold last January by
sleeping iu damp sheets, that seemed to have settled
in a consumption. He raised a good deal of bloody
matter, and his cough was so harrassiitg and inces
sant that be could get no rest by day or night. Af
ter trying various remedies without relief, hetho't
that death alone would relieve him of his misery.
But by the advice of a lady he purchased a box of
Sherman's C. ugh Lozenges; they gave him great
relief, aud to his surprise allayed bis cough, made
him rest easy, and enabled him to sleep sound all
night; three days' use of them made a new man ol
him, and he is recommending Sherman's Lozenges
to all his acquaintances.

F. T. &Co. 147 Maiustieet, Cincinnati : Gentle
men. Myiwife has been alllicted with worms from
the age of three years, and has never been without
llietn. She resided ai Middletown, Butler county.
At times, she ha., been so alllicted with worms as
to require the attendance of two of the best physi
cians in the place one doctoring her for one com
plaint, and one for another, but getting worse, she
removed to Madison, and was under the hands of
two of the most celebrated physicians of that place,
but all did her no good. She came to Cincinnati
some time since, aud began to despair of gelling
better: indeed she got so bad, the worms came up
in her throat her sufferings became almost intoler
able. Hearing of the many cures performed by
Sherman's Lozenges, she thought she would try
them last August. I stepped in your store and got
a box of the w orin lozenges, and I have every rea
son to rejoice that 1 did so. She took but o.ni:
half box, when the worms came from her in
bunches. I could not be positive, but 1 would sup
pose that there were from fifty to jixty in each
hunch. The last dose brought .-everal while worms,
from twelve to fifteen inches long. She began to
get well, aud felt better than she had for years. Be
ing cured, she gave the balance of the box to a
neighbor by the name of Herald, who lives a short
distance from us, who has two chilcren.one live and
the other two years of age, who were much troub
led with worms, audi have heard since, that by the
time I Ley had used up the box, both children ucre
entirely cured."

WISTAR'S BALSAM
0Y WILD CUEttUY.
vpx GREAT REMEDY fob CONSUMPTION
Among all the famous medicines for Consumption
none seems to be meeting with greater success, or
gaining a higher reputation than that most wonder
ful article,
WISTAR'S
- BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY!
That it stands at the heml of all other remedies
is now universally conceded. It has cured thous
ands upon thousands oi all classes in cases of
the most dangerously consumptive character.
Aud physicians of the greatest eminence throghout
our whole country unhesitatingly recommend it,
as the
MOST POWERFUL CURATIVE
of Pulmonary diseases in the whole range of Phar
macy. The sales in the Western States heve thus
far been unparalleled; and the most gratifying
proofs of its efficacy have been received from every
place where it has beeu used. Thousands of
CONSUMPTIVE PATIENTS
have already tested its exalted virtues, and confes
sed its surpassing excellent and amazing power
The remarkable success of this Balsam is uo doubt
owing in a great measure to the peculiarly agreea
ble and powerful nature of its ingredients. It is a
FINE HERBAL MEDICINE I
Composed chiefly of WILD CHERRY BARK
and the genuine ICELAND MOSS (the latter
imported expressly fortius purpose,) the rare med
ical virtues of which, are also combined by a new

The following we have just re. eioedfrom Messrs.
Jolind. Rutee, Druggists, in A'ewurk, in this
Stale, to whom it was communicated by John Wi
mer, Esq., citizen of Burlington, Licking Coun
ty, Ohio.
Burlington, Licking Co., O., Dec. 1. 18 3.
Messrs. Joslin &. Rows: At your request I
herewith transmit to you a statement of (he ease of
Mrs. Wimcr and child, as near as I am able to com
municate, which you are at liberty to publish if you
see lit, as I ieel a desire lo inform the world of the
edicts of the invaluable medicine called Wistar's
Balsam of Wild Cherry to which, by the divine
blessing, I am indebted fur the restoration to health
of aiy wife and child.
About live years ago, Mrs. Wimcr was attacked
wilh a violent cough, pain in the che-t and side,
and symptoms of approaching consumption,. Dur
ing the intervals from that time lo sometime in
February last, she had been treated by eminent
Physicians from L'tica, Sylvania, Homer, Chat
ham and New ai k, and with only partial relief of the
most urgent symptoms. About one year ago, she
caught a violent cold, which seated upon the Lu.igs
producing an alarming aggravation of all her pre
vious synitoms. ller Physician was sent for, aud
despite his best efforts, she began rapidly to sink
under her disease. Cough, Expectoration Hectic,
together with night sweats, soon reduced her to a
complete skeleton. In February last, her attend
ing Physician, deemed her case altogether hopeless,
a council was called and after deliberating upon
her case unanimously pronounced her to be beyond
the leach of means, anil expressed their opinion
that she could survive but a short time, one or two
necks at farthest. She was at this time entirely
eonliiied to her bed, an I scarcely able to articu
late, except in a whisper. Her daily paroxysms I
coughing would last her unintcrupledly from 3 to
j hours, a. id so severe were they, that we did ex
pect li.it every paroxysm would be the last. The
physicians iu council pronounced her Lungs, Liv
er, Kidneys, Spine, and Mucus Membrane of ihe
Sto nach lo be incurably diseased. It was at this
last extremity that we happened to obtain n pam
phlet describing Dr. Wistar's Balsam of 'A'ild
I berry, as applicable to Lung allections. H s un
miMliati'ly sent to you and procured a bottle, and
commenced iu u.-e at evening by giving her one
teaspoon full, and such was the surpii-ing effect,
that she Mas able to pass a comfortable night's rest,
n ithotil experiiuicing any paroxysm of coughing,
and such was its ultimate effect, that alter taking
In e bullies she was, contrary to the expectations
of her physicians, and every one who saw her, en
tirely restored to health; and since last summer has
done the entire work of her family. After the last
attack of Mrs. Winter, our youngest child, then au
infant at ihe brei-st was taken down, and rapidly
sinking, with the same symtoms as its mother, and
seeing the happy elfcct of the Balsam in lbs case
ol the mother, wc were disposed lo make trial of it
for the child, and it was attended with the same
perlcu t success-
The iiiiovc statement cn be attested by our phy
sician as ivellasour iieighoo'ra and acquaintances,
who saw Mrs. Wiiner during the course of her
sickness.
Very truly, vours.&c.

Watkiivillk, Oneida, co., N Y., Sept. 15, 18 3.
Dear Srn: I owe it to the alllicted to inform
you that in January hist I wai attacked by a very
violent cold caused by working in water, which
settled on my lungs. It was accompanied by a
very severe pain iu my breast and side, and also a
distressing cough. 1 had iu attendance all the best
medical aid in our village, aud after exhausting
their skill to no avail they pronounced my disease
a continued Consumption, and one and all gave
me up to die. After much persuasion I got the
consent of my physician to use Wistar's Balsam of
Wild Cherry prepared by Dr. Wistar. 1 purchas
ed ol the agent iu ourplacc one bottle, before us
ing hall of which, I began to gain strength, and it
was very evident my cough was a great deal better,
anil my symptoms in every way improving. I
have now used three bodies, and am restored to
health. The result is alone owing to the use of
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and I take
this method of giving you the information, partly
to pay the debt of gratitude I owe you, and partly
that others similarly alllicted may know where to
apply for relief.
Respectfully and truly youis,
JAMES SAGE.
Mr. Palmer, Druggist, under the date of Watcr
ville, Sept. 24 1843, writes
"The statement given you by Mr. James Sage is
well known to be true by this whole community,
aud it certainly was a most remarkable cure.
Yours respectfully,
O D. PALMER." .
The following is from a distinguished lawyer of
therityofJWw York, who had been ajjlietcd
with the Asthma for upwards of "TWEJYTY
YEARS;" and who after reading such eases
can doubt the ijjicacy of this medic tie?
New York, January 25, 18 3.
I have been alllicted with spasmodic asthma for
twenty-lour years sometimes so severely as to be
confined to my room for weeks; aud although at
tended by various medical advisers, of the highest
reputation and skill in the country, the relief was
but partial aud temporary twice the disease prov.
cd nearly fatal to my hie.
Some few weeks ago, I commenced taking Wis
tar's Balsam ol Wild Cherry, which gave me in
stant relief, and a single boHle produced in a few
days what I believe to be a radical aud perfect cure.

y.. PROSPECTUS. ' '
The Pictorial and Illustr'ated Editions of
Shakspkare, lately published in England, are
amongst the most beautiful specimens of the recent
and remarkable improvement of the art of Wood
Engraving, which by combining great excellence
of execution with economy of price, has given an
unprecedented diffusion to the most useful as well
as the most exquisite productions of the Arts of
Design.
The designs of Kenny Meadows for the illus-
trations of Tyas' edition of Shakspeare, express the
character of the several personages, and the spirit
of the scene, with wonderful truth and power; i '
whilst the wood engraving ol Kmglit s 1'ictorial e
dition, combine with the highest merits of art and ,
tatc, such a learned and miliuteaccuracy as to sce
nery, costume, architecture and antiquity, ic as .
make them a perpetual and most instructive com- "
meutary upon the Poet's text. It is now proposed
to embody in an American Edition, the admi
rable illustrations of both these editions, engraved
with equal excellence of mechanicl execution, to
add to these, other engravings from eminent ar liati, -as
Reynolds, Fu.-eli, S. Newton, &c, and to ac
company them with a beautifully printed and cor
rect text.
But tliepublisher.anxious that his country should
pay some part of the homage due Irotn her to Ihe
greatest of Poets, aj lo one who belongs not solely
to England, but to all
IV ho speak the tongue
That Shakspeare spake, .
Could not content himself with a mere republica
tion or compilation. He has therefore prevailed
upon Roiiert W. Weir, whose reputation as an
Artist is already identified wilh his country's histo- L
ry, to contribute a series of Oriental Designs, to
gether with such advice and assistance in other de
tails of art, as his taste may suggest, for the illustra- -tion
and embellishment of this publication. .From
the same reason, the publisher, instead of reprinting
the text and commentary of any popular jtnglish
impression, was desirous th.it his lulitiou should
huvethesupervisionofaii American F.ditor. This
task has been undertaken by GULIAN C. VEtt
Pl.ANCK The plan proposed to himself by the Editor is to '
furnish the reader wilh a carefully prepared and ac- .
curate !y printed text.unencumhered by any notes or '
comments upon the page itself; as however useful
they may I else-where, they are too apt to divert
the mind i'.-om the power of the Poet's thought, and
to disturb the magic of his scene. Such notes as
may be thought useful for the explanation or criti
cism of the text, will be put into an Appendix to
each play. .
The text of Shakspeare's dramatic works, drawn
from old printed copies in his age, which had never
passed under the author's own eye, was conse
quently di.-ligiired by manv errors and absurdities.
It passed during the last century through a succes
sion of varving editions, until the revision of Ste
vens aud Maloue, whose text, (or rather that of
Stevens) has become the standard from which most
of the English aud American editions have been
printed, with various degrees of accuracy. But
within the last twenty years, a more minute and fa
miliar acquaintance with old English idioms, hb--
its and modes of thought, guided by an intense and
constantly increasing admiration for Shakspeare'
genius, has led to the strong conviction that very
many of the numerous though blight deviations
from the ancient text, appearing iu modern editions,
are useless c r erroneous inteipolaiions, sometimes
weakening the sense, and often substituting an ar
bitrary monotonous, metrical regularity, to the Po
et's own native melody. Accordingly, very many
of these emendations have been rejected by the last
and best English editors, especially Mr. Kuigiitaiid
Mr. Collier, aud the readings of (he old folios aud
quartos have been restored, tin leas where some er
ror of the press or manuscript was undeniably man
liest. Yet there are many such passages confes
sedly corrupt, requii ing conjectural emendations;
there are also difference of reading between the ;
several old impressions allurdiug grounds for some
diversity of text and warm controversy, between
the more recent editors.
Upon these, the American editor thinks it due to
the character of this edition, to decide himself,
without implicitly following the text of any one
modern edition. As. the industry aud learning ot
prior editors have furnished the collation of various
rsadings, and ihe authorities upon which they may
be supported, the task is no longer that of laborious '
investigation, but, as it were, of judicial decision, '
enlightened by contending argument.
As many of these variations are of nearly equal
probability and as some of them are doubtless they,
author's own alterations at different periods, all the
more important readings will be presented to the '
reader in the notes, lor his selection. Those notes :
will also contain so much ol commentary as may be
useful to explain antiquated words and phrases, ob
scurely expressed passages and illusions to obsolete ;
opinions, or the habits or history of the times; the
whole in as condense J a form as practicable. But
any commentary upon Shakspeare, however brief,
would be imperfect it it did not present some view ;
of the higher criticism employed, not on the inter
pretatiou of his language, but upon bis thoughts,
his character, his poetry, passions, philosophy. The ,
only dilliculty here arises from the abundance, the
the magnificent variety of the materials contributed
during the last half century, by the most brilliant
minds of Europe. Still it is believed tha' this duty
can be satisfactorily performed, without swelling ,
the edition to an inconvenient bulk.
