AnTrrrti's HOME MAGAZINE seems to have taken a new lease of life, and appears now to be ffresher and more interesting than ever.

In its new cover and larger form, ARTMVR'S is certainly in the lead of the cheaper monthlies, and its literary contents are good enough to be acceptable from any periodical without regard to cost. In the issue for January, 1887, which is now before us, there is a distinct literary merit that is not equaled by any publication of its class. The literature is wholly original, and for a clean style of fiction, suitable for the intimate associations of home, could not be bettered. In addition to a serial story of great merit, and a number of short stories of more than nsual interest, there are portions of the Magazine appropriated to Temperance, Housekeeping, Needle, and other fancy work, the whole making np a book very charming in character, and wholly appropriate to the purposes indicated by its name.

We wish the proprietors continued prosperity, and hope the life-long friend of many of many of oar readers may continue to boa favorite in their families. T. a Arthur A Son, Philadelphia, are the publishers, and they send specimen copies on receipt of ten cent*—half price.
