GREAT INDUCEMENTS FOR 1858!

==> NOW IS THE TIME TO GET UP CLUBS. <==

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE

THE BEST IN THE WORLD FOR LADIES!

==> ONLY TWO DOLLARS A YEAR. <==

This popular monthly Magazine will be greatly improved, as well as
enlarged for 1852. It will contain _over_ 900 pages yearly; from
25 to 30 Steel Plates; and 600 Wood Engravings. _This is more,
proportionately, than any periodical gives._ The Newspaper Press
calls this Magazine "THE CHEAPEST IN THE WORLD."

ITS THRILLING ORIGINAL STORIES.

The editors are Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, author of "The Old Homestead,"
"Fashion and Famine," and Charles J. Peterson, author of "Kate
Aylesford," "The Valley Farm," etc., etc.; and they are assisted
by Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, author of "The Lost Heiress,"
"Vivia," "Retribution," etc., etc.; by Alice Carey, Mrs. Denison,
Miss Townsend, Miss Fairfield, Carry Stanley, Clara Moreton, Hetty
Holyoke, and by all the most popular female writers of America. New
talent is continually being added, _regardless of expense_, so as
to keep "Peterson's Magazine" unapproachable in merit. Morality and
virtue are always inculcated.

ITS SUPERB MEZZOTINTS, AND OTHER STEEL ENGRAVINGS,

Are the best published anywhere; and at the end of each year are
_alone_ worth the subscription price.

COLORED FASHION PLATES IN ADVANCE.

Each number contains a Fashion Plate, engraved on Steel, and colored;
also a dozen or more New Styles, engraved on Wood; also, a Pattern,
from which a Dress, Mantilla, or Child's Costume, can be cut, without
the aid of a mantua-maker, so that each Number, in this way, will
_save a year's subscription_. The Paris, London, Philadelphia, and
New York Fashions are described at length, each month. Patterns of
Caps, Bonnets, Head-dresses, etc., given; in short, of every article
of female dress.

Colored Patterns for Embroidery, etc.

Embroidery Patterns engraved for every Number, with instructions
how to work them; also, Patterns in Knitting, Inserting, Broiderie
Anglaise, Netting, Frivolite, Lace-making, etc., etc. Also, Patterns
for Sleeves, Collars, and Chemisettes; Patterns in Bead-work,
Hair-work, Shell-work; Handkerchief Corners; Names for Marking and
Initials. Occasionally, SUPERB COLORED PATTERNS FOR EMBROIDERY,
ETC., _are given, each of which, at a retail store, would cost Fifty
Cents_. A piece of fashionable Music is published every month. Also,
New Receipts for Cooking, the Sick-room, the Toilet, Nursery, etc.,
etc.; and everything required in the Household.

_TERMS:--ALWAYS IN ADVANCE._

One Copy for One Year, $2.00
Three Copies for One Year, 5.00
