This work, devoted to both sexes, opens a New Volume with the number for January, 1842, with an array of Contributors of talent and fame, which no periodical in the country can boast, or pretend to r,}’ a -“ , . , The Volume 0pe,..” With anew and beaut,lu type, the finest white paper, ailu ’ “ith the first ol a iiev series of Embellishments, uii, ul^ asEe any winch nave appeared in any Magazine. The style of elegance, the beauty and linisti of these lilustratioiis, and the extensive improve ments which will be made in its typographical appearance, and above all, the tone ol ils Litera ry Department given it by the brilliant array ol its Contributors, whose articles will enrich ilie pages of each number, will give it a character a bove any Magazine in the Union. The Magazine has become the standard ol taste in matters of embellishment, and lias led the way in every thing really beautiful published in the Magazine of last year. The voice of the public press, while it places the work at the head of American Literature, is unanimous in the an nouncement, that no work ever stalled m the country has been so elegantly embellished, or has so rapidly increased. For the new volume, the most extensive arrangements have been made with the most distinguished artists m the coun try for a supply of elegant embellishments of all sorts. Our beautif ul Mezzotint Engravings. It affords us much satisfaction to be able to state, that we have made arrangements with iVlr. Sartain, the accomplished mezzotint engraver, whose plates have contributed so much to the beauty of the Magazine heretofore, by which we secure his splendid mezzotints tor tills; work a ione. No other Magazine of this kind can have lifetn without j>orims!oll ITO 111 US. in addition to tiiose, we have secured the fau nae oi another talented mezzotint engraver, if. tv. Dadd, Esq. of New-York—'.hat there may be no disappointment as to number or regularity, these will be equal to any thing published, so that we are able confidently to promise a Mez zotint in every number. These beautiful engravings will, therefore, form a feature in Graham’s Magazine, in every number, so that we shall be able to distance anything like competition on this ground. These plates are the most expensive that can be got up lor a Magazine of large circulation, in conse quence oi tiie great price of printing-—being more ihan double that of line engravings—and the necessity oi reduplicating the plates; our e dition already rendering it necessary that two or three plates oi the same subject must be prepar ed lor every number in which they are used.— VV e now print an edition greater than that of any cotemporary tor the last year, and confidently assert dial at tiie same rate of increase we shall issue, in 1842, an edition of not less than 35,000 conies monthly. Our Splendid Steel Engravings. We have aiso entered into a distinct and per manent arrangement with Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Miniilie, and with A. L. Dick, Esq. of New-York, lor a series oi splendid engravings, to bo got up in a styie unsurpassed b; any that have ever been done in this country. The wide spread fame of these artists is a .sufhcient guar antee of the character of the work wo shall re ceive from their hands. So that, with such an organization, we may safely dely competition in the way oi embellishments, show the world a pat tern for others to follow, in die way of liberal and judicious expenditure, and fix anew era in the j iiistory of Magazine publishing in this country. Elegant Embossed Work. An agreement has also been made with that meritorious and accomplished artist, F. Q,uarre, Esq., tor a lull supply’ of tasteful Embroidery, Lace- Work, Birds, Flowers, and Landscapes, co lored in the most, finished and elegant, style.— This will form an expensive, but popular and til tractive feature in tiie work, and with the varie ty which will be thus introduced, will always bo novel and pleasing. Richly Colored Fashions. In compliance with the almost unanimous wish o; our lady subscribers, we shall iurnish them with a beautiful and correct plate of FASH IONS, and shall also give the style ior gentle men, which has been decidedly popular with noth sexes, and has rendered the work the Text Book of Fashion, the Union over. These, however, shall in no wise interfere with ‘he regular and choice engravings and music which accompany each number oi the Magazine, as vve shall not sutler ourselv es to be surpassed in number or beauty of illustrations by any other work, but shall maintain the position we have assumed, of leading all others mt lie richness, beauty, excel lence, and variety of Magazine embellishment. The Literary Character. The reputation oi the Magazine thus far, would be a sufficient guarantee for the future; but that it may be seen that nothing has been left undone to maintain every department of the work, and to elevate the literary, as well as the pietoriai department, vve beg leave to announce a host ot talented and elegant American writers. List of Contributors. In addition to the olu contributors, whose names and articles have given a high celebrity o tiie Magazine, a number of new ones, it will be perceived, are added, of worth and note, so that vve may fairly say that vve have the strength oi American talent enlisted in the work.

If there is a redeeming feature in the cha racter of Aaron Burr, it is to be found ill the love which he bore for his daughter.— From her earliest years lie had educated I j her with a care to which we look in vain { j lor a parallel among his eotemporaries.— ‘ I She grew up, in consequence, no common ! woman. Beautiful beyond most of hi ; sex ; accomplished, as few females at that day were accomplished ; tender, suscepti hie, devoted, the character of Theodosia Burr lias long been regarded as we regard that of a heroine of romance. Her love for her father partook of the holiness of a bet ter world—pure, deep and unchanging ; it reminds us of the affection a seraph might be supposed to entertain for a parent, cast down from heaven lor sharing in the sin of the “son of the morning.” She heard at 1 Charleston of her father's arrest, and flew instant.’; to his side. There <s nothing more touching in human history, than die hurried letters she Dotted with her tears, announcing her daily prog,'ess to Rich mond ; and oven die character of burr bor rows a momentary halo from hers, when, forgetting his own peril, he labors in his re ply only to quit i her fears. AN ODD FISH. Well, we do think they have some queer kind of folks in and about Boston. Mr. Finney, who is what is called a ‘perfec tionist,’ is thus noticed in the Boston Post. He must he an odd un : Perfection. —Rev. Mr. Finney, the Per fectionist, preached at Marlboro’ on Sun- j day. He walked into tobacco chawers a- ; bout the distance of a feet and a half, and I as to those miserable Sodomites, who actu - j ally is guilty of smoking • turbuclccr,’ he j chopped ofi’their tails a quarter of an inch behind the ears. He said that a man who i used turbucker mocked God theofteeer he | prayed, and he rolled his eyes about like a j couple of Blue Point Oysters in a saucer, j while describing the scenes of horror those eves had often witnessed in certain pulpits; lie said he had seen in minister’s spit boxes (here he placed his hands together just as a j man does who expects to receive a pint of boiled chestnuts) —not exactly so much, said lie, 1 won’t exactly say how much filth, all iu one box.” Nextly, he jumped upon the opposers of Abolition, like a fifteen foot alligator on a little infant of a colored gentleman, chaw ing them up and spitting them out with great disgust. Under this head he remark ed that every body would be an Abolition ist if they only had the courage of him and his own co-workers. But folks did at. dare to look at the subject on account of public opinion! Thirdly, lastly and in conclusion, he li st’d up the disbelievers in perfect sanctifi cation, with a few dry knots that told on their skulls with the crushing force ofa rye straw on the pate of an emigrant from Gui nea, said that the people durst not pray for sanctification now-a-days, because so much had been said about it; they used to pray for it, but had lately backed out from the subject, and not only backed out therefrom, hut incontinently mizzled ! AN IRISH TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY. YY r e heard the other day the description ! ofa visit paid by a gentleman to a sort of prison or Bridewell in Dublin where per sons found intoxicated in the street were ! confined twenty four hours without food.— He went in expecting to find a set of exhaus j ted wretch s sunk in gloom and sullenness ! from their long last. But a different scene met his view—for there he beheld, instead, an animaled group of curious lookers on, 1 who were crowded eagerly round some oh j ject proved to he a ragged man vigorously | dancing a hornpipe ! The visitor waited until at last the dance j triumphantly ended with a flourishing ca- , per amidst the applause of the bystanders. | “ You seem very merry, my friend,” he | then said. j “1 is merry, your honour ?—and why 1 not ? What good will fretting do me ?” “ And what brought you here ?” “ Whv, then, sir, just out ofa frolic, no ! tiling else. 1 forgot myself with a glass j too much, and they put me in here to re pent anil grow cool.” When the gentleman was leaving the 1 place, his eye was caught by something | chalked in large letters over the door; go ing up to it he read these words inscribed by some light-hearted wag : “Total Abstinence Society.—Number admitted this day thirty-seven How buoyant are the spirits that neither hunger nor privation can subdue ! —who can make a jest even of their misfortunes ! Dublin University Magazine. A compliment to the Ladies. —A Minister a short time ago held forth to his female au ditors in the manner following ; “Be not proud that our blessed Lord paid your sex the distinguished honor of appearing first to a female, after the resurrection, for it was only done that the glad tidings might spread the sooner /” There is a man in this city who supports 1 himself and family ou lemon-aid.

WHOM IT WAS HARD TO MARK SCOLD. A gossipping correspondent of the N> w York Standard, who writes over the signa ture of•• John Smith, jr. of Arkansas,” tells the following story about his better half. About six years after I had transformed Mis> Mary Li-jiei Smith, into Y! John Smith, Juii., of Arkansas. I got into a hab it of going down to old Billy Taylor s tav ern, in Helena County, and there Fit sit, hour after hour, amt play beards, as the Vermonters express themselves when they want to talk about card p.’aying, and some times got a little wrong in tie’ upper story. : Mrs. John Smith, Jun., bore’ all this pret ty well, fora longtime; but ! could see that my folly and ext-.avigunee wus £ sour.’ie of anguish to her; and though slic’d s.’t unu weep in silence, when she thought 1 din not see her, she was too proud to complain- loved me too well to tell tne that I was an ! ungrati ful fellow, and was driving her to ! til? tomb by my neglect and dissipation.— j I saw all ; knew that I was murdering the wife of mv bosom, and yet, for the life of me ; 1 could not conquer my thirst for gaming and conviviality. A thousand times did I attempt to cut I asunder the bands that bound me to a sin- j ful course of folly and madness ; and I ol- J ten prayed to my God, imploring him to in- \ vest me with a resolution sufficiently strong j to enable me to escape from the slavery of j vice and folly. But al! was of no avail.— j At last it occurc-d to me, that, if 1 could get j Mrs. John Smith, Jun., waked up to anger j and compel her to scold me like a virago my end would be accomplished, and 1 should be able to consummate the reforma- j tion I panted for in all sincerity. At last j I was successful Christmas came round, and I flogged all j Imv negroes ; gave * ach ot them a suit ol ; I new clothes of Oznaburgh, and a shilling ‘ all round, hv the way of an annual comfor ter; and away I went down to Billy ‘! ay lor’s tavern, to play cards and drink wins- | key. 1 was gone three days and in fts, and daring the whole of • Hat sad pi raid, Mrs. John Smith, Jun.. sat by the door iff the log-cabin, and sighed and wep! for her truant and reckless husband.

Do you know, madam, that ! an; j lord ofthis manor, and master over yoi ;uW j j vour negroes! “Mr. John Smith, Jr., of Arkansas,” she j exclaimed in a dignified tone, and with an 1 air of majesty that reminded me of Mrs. Siddons in Catharine of Arragon, -A ou are i unendurable ; your conduct, sir, is ini i mous, and I.shall not submit to it any lon ger ; you area brute, sir ; yes sir, a brute, and fail complain to your honored father and to my brothers, sir, and 1 11 see if a re medy cannot be effected. “My honored father and your brothers I may be hanged, madam,’ I returned ; “I b do as 1 please, and act as I please, and you j madam, shall submit to it! So take that, for your consolation !’ “Mr. Smith.” replied Mrs. John. Jr., “it is idle and unnecessary for us to live as vve now do.
