gotten.

L IPPINCO IT'S MA GAY. INF,, with its varied
and excellent contents , is a library in itself.
It was indeed a happy thought to print an
entire novel in each number.
Not a short novelette , but a long story such at
you are used to get in book form and pay from one
dollar to one dollar and a half for.
Not only that, but with each number you ge* an
abundance of other contributions , which gives you
a good m tgaxine besides the novel.
It does not follow in old beaten paths ,— which is
an easy task,—but is perpetually discovering new
and pleasant one r, and following them too.
The ringing blows U'hich have been struck on the
gatew ly of popular favor , have resounded through¬
out the entire land, and to day Lippincott’s Maga¬
zine stands in the front rank of monthly publications,
and is the most widcly-rcad-and-talked-of publica¬
tion of its kind in the world. For full descriptive
