it will be National in its circulation and influence.
Such is our aim aud expectation. We desire to see
the Prinoiple of Prohibition established in State after
State, till it becomes tho rooogniflbd policy of tho Na

stricts them to tho friends of tho cause. Tiik Pro

tracts) among the indifTeront and tho hostile. For
this purpose it is put at a prioe so low as to enablo
the friends of Temperance in evory school district, by
oombinod action and at an ineonsiderablo expense,
to place a copy in each family that will eonseut to re

THK NSW YORK MUSICAL RKVIBW
AND
CHORAL ADVOCATE
JS the cheapest and best Musical Paper in the
world. This Journal, which has heretofore been
published monthly, commences its fifth year in Jan
uary next, and thenceforward it will-be published
?very two weeks?on every other Thursday, thereby
[iving more than twiee as muoh matter, without any
ncrease in prioe. Each number contains sixteen
quarto paces, four of which are new music, consist
i og of glees, hymn tunes, chants, anthems, dedication
and holvday pieees, and, in short, every variety of
musie adapted to purposes of religious worship, to
public occasions, and to the home oirole; all of which
will be of a practical character, and such as can t>e
sung by parsons of ordinary musioal attainments. In
the editorial department of the Review are engaged
(in addition to Mr Cady, the former editor) gentle
men of the highest talent and ripest musical experi
ence, among whom are George F. Root, William B.
Bradbury, Thomas Hastings, and Lowell Mason;
and its circle of correspondence, home and foreign,
is complete. The Reviow will also be a regular me
dium for the announcement of new musical publica
tions by all the leading publishing houses in the
Union. The subsoription list of this papor is now
larger than that of any similar journal in the world,
and the new arrangements, rendering it the cheapest
as well as (it is hoped) the most valuable musioal
paper ever published, must largely increase its al
ready unparalleled circulation.
Ternut. ? One dollar per annum, or six eopies for
five dollars, always in advance.
The musio alone in a volume would cost over
five dollars in the usual form. Beside this, tnere will
be an immense amount of musical news, essays, erit
icism, instruction, Ac., all for only one dollar! Ev
ery one foeling a particle of interost in the cause of
music will surely subscribe.

One Volume 12mo, $1.
TIIK object of thin tale ia to exhibit in different
phases, in high life and low life, the accursed
effect* of intemperate drinking, the banc of social
life, the curse of civilixod man. The characters are
well aud sharply drawn, and the various scones arc
described with much spirit and graphic cffcot. *
* We are disposed to regard the book as the beta
of its kind that has yet appearod.?Boston I ravelin .
It is not often that we read a story of any kind,
but we have broken our practice, and have read this
book, not only with pleasure, but with a gratification
which but very few novels havo ever aflorded us. It
is a uuiet and simple, but still striking and effective
picture of American sooial life.?Chicago vrthun
Written with marked ability.?Zauesviih Courin.
A thrilling picture of tho effects of that infernal

Tho style is attractive and fascinating ; there is a
freshness and originality about it, that is very pleas

lence of its conversations.? Enquirer.
llaa so many thrilling passages and well drawn
characters, thatyoa read it with absorbod attention.
It cannot fail to achieve for Mrs. Collins an enviable
popularity. She takes us with her to the drunkard's
home, and tolls of the hunger and the fear, the toil
and the suffering, that are there. Sho paints, with
a woman's delicate skill, the meok patience, the
long-abused, but unchanging love of the drunkard's
wife, touches the deepest chorda of the heart, and
makes them vibrate with pity and with indignation.

Though Mrs. Collina has already hosts of admi
rers of nor literary productiona, thia work, we pre

her a reputation worthy of her high talents.?yffeir

The style ia easy, natural, beautiful, chaste, and
at timea very eloquont. We would oomutend it es
pecially to young ladies, that they may see to what
dangers they are exposed, in forming alliances with
the fashionable in high life.?Ohio Organ.
A deeply interesting and poworful work. It vivid

We know of no passage, anywhere, more uniqaely
beautiful, more intensely absorbing, more overpow

Such a Paper is demanded by the Farming
Community.
The publishers confidently believe that the agri
culturists of this country are becoming too much
awake to the demands of thoir owu calling to be
longer *%tisfied with the slow monthly issues of a pa
per professedly devoted to their interests, or to trust
alone to the irresponsible extracts in a"farmer'*
column," so popular just now in papers chiefly devo
ted to businoss, politics, or literature; and they look
for the united support of all the intelligent fanners
of this country in their continued effort to furnish a
weekly paper of a high and reliable character, which
shall be progressive, and at the sarno time cautious
and conservative in all its teachings.
Essentially an Agricultural Paper.
The Agriculturist will not depart from its legiti
mate sphere to catch popular favor by lumbering up
its pages, wfth the silly, fictitious literature, and
light, miscellaneous matter of the day; it has a high
er aim; and a small part only of its spaco will be
devoted to matters not immediately pertaining to the
great business of Agriculture. The household m
well as the out-door work of the farm will receive a
due share of attention. The humbugs and nostrums
afloat in the community will bo tried by reliable sci
entific rules, and their worthlessness exposed. It 1a
the aim of the publishers to keep this paper under
the guidance of those who will make it a standard
work, which shall communicate to ils readers only
that which is safe and reliable.
An Independent Journal.
The American Agriculturist stands upon its own
merits; and the truthfulness, seal, and ablHty,
which it brings to the support of the interests of the
fhrmer. It is untrammeled by any collateral busi
ness connections whatever; nor is it the organ of any
clique, or the puffing machine of any man or thing.
Thoroughly independent in all points, its ample pa
ges are etodiously given aJono to the support and im
provement of the great agricultural class.
