Tinted cut—“ Will it Bear?" -U - Jew r el-box, printed in colors. The Flight of Time. A seasonable engraving. Skating Costumes for Children. Large extension sheet, filled with a great variety of articles—dresses for ladies and ciildren, and other novelties— thirty-two in all. The articles of fancy work have been evidently selected with great care. Among them will be found a foot-cushion, silk fan, work-bag, key case, case for combs and brushes, pen-wiper, knitted bodice, etc. The literary matter is the crowning feature of the January number. The stories by Alarion llsrland, Mist Churchill, Aliss Dorr, the O, Fogy Papers, and the charade by Miss Frost, arc the best that h»v* ever been published. Alore beautiful than ev£r, coihea to us the first number ofithe American Agriculturist for 1869, (the Twen-ty-Eighth Annual Volume). This always finely illustrated sheet is now to be supplied with a Tinted Cover, Ornamented with suporb illustrations, appropriate to the successive seasons. Besides many small engravings of a useful and instructive character, the number before us contains four splendid Illustrations, entitled: “Maternal Solicitude;” “In the Lumber Re* gions” (6 cartoons) “Alexican (puttie Driving—the Lasso;” and "A Treacherous Friend.” All the Illustrations are excellent specimens of the engraver’s skill. But aside from the engravings the 72 columns - are filled with a very large amount of condensed, practical, reliable information of great value. The Agriculturist should find a plaop in every family in the land. It is & marvel for real yaluc and cheapness combined, ar it costs only $1,50 a year, or four copies for $3.
