each meal, always employing lukewarm water, or holding cold water in the back part of the mouth until it is warmed. Never eat an atom after the teeth have been washed for the night. Always use the brush slowly, lest by a slip, a tooth may be scaled or broken. After meals, let the bristles of the brush be moved up and down by a twisting motion, making each one a toothpick. A yellowish tint to a tooth is proof of its soundness; hence do not seek to keep them of a pearly whiteness; it destroys them. Literary Notices, From PETERSON & BROTHERS, Philadelphia:THE PIRATES OF THE PRAIRIES: or, Adventures in the American Desert. By Gustave Aimard, author of "The Prairie Flower," "The Trail Hunter," etc. etc. Those who have been interested in the previous volumes of this series of novels will be looking anxiously for the appearance of the present work. Aimard well sustains his reputation as one of the best writers of fiction of this peculiar class. From GEO. W. CHILDS, Philadelphia: THE SIEGE OF RICHMOND: A Narrative of the Military Operations of Major General George B. McClellan during the months of May and June, 1862. By Joel Cook, Special Correspondent of the Philadelphia Press with the Army of the Potomac. An interesting and wellwritten narrative, laying modest, and we venture, therefore, to say, just claim to truthfulness, to the extent of its author's own personal knowledge and observation. We may regret that it is not so complete, in many important particulars, as a history of the memorable siege of Richmond ought to be; but at the same time we can be thankful for what is afforded us, meanwhile waiting patiently till the period when the restraints of military prudence shall be removed from our obtaining a full knowledge of all the facts. From HARPER & BROTHERS, New York, through J. B. LIPPINCOTT & Co., Philadelphia: A HISTORY OF FRANCE, from the earliest Times to the Establishment of the Second Empire in 1852. This work is one that admirably fills a hitherto vacant place in our literature. Though embracing in the limited compass of some seven hundred pages a general history of France from the earliest to the present times, it exhibits few of the dry characteristics of an abridgment in its style, and is really an interesting and readable volume, even to those who have had the opportunity to peruse the fuller and more detailed general and special histories of France, by French authors of undoubted. genins and research. As a convenient book for reference, containing all necessary facts for a clear understanding of French history, this volume will prove of invaluable service. CAMP AND OUTPOST DUTY FOR INFANTRY. By Daniel Butterfield, Brigadier General Volunteers, U. S. A. The present war has occasioned the publication of numerous works designed for the instruction and convenience of the soldier, among which not the least important and interesting is the little volume before us. It contains full, yet concise, directions concerning outpost duty, together with standing orders, extracts from the army regulations, rules of health, and much other VOL. LXVI.-17 necessary information for both officer and soldier. The book is not too large for even a soldier's limited means of conveyance, and is substantially bound. MISTRESS AND MAID: A Household Story. By Miss Muloch, author of "John Halifax, Gentleman," etc. etc. This is a simple, unpretending novel, detailing the various incidents and events in the lives of three sisters, the Misses Leaf. It describes first their humble way of living, with their little village school, then their removal to London, in the hope of providing a home for, and regaining an influence over their scapegrace of a nephew. Then come trials unforeseen, yet which must be, and are bravely met, until the story is finally brought to a satisfactory end. Elizabeth Hand, the "maid," is a striking character; and being placed in favorable circumstances, develops many noble traits, which, even in her humble position, make her almost, if not quite, a heroine. From D. APPLETON & Co., New York, through W. P. HAZARD, Philadelphia: THE PENTATEUCH AND BOOK OF JOSHUA CRITICALLY EXAMINED. By the Right Rev. John Wm. Colenso, D. D., Bishop of Natal. The author of this work gives a careful review of the Pentateuch, and records his impressions, convictions, and doubts concerning it. Some of his criticisms, it cannot be denied, are of a character to challenge serious consideration, and to lead the believer in the inspiration of the Bible to seek anxiously for explanation and reconciliation. Others, meanwhile, seem to us too trivial to deserve as much importance as he gives them. Strangely enough, there appears to be at this time almost a rivalry among certain Christians as to who shall succeed in casting the most doubt upon the reliability of the Scriptures. At all events their criticisms upon it in many portions will not compare unfavorably with those of noted infidel philosophers of both the past and the present. All this may betoken, and we may, at least, hope that it does, an agitation in religion which will result in the final justification and triumph of truth. From ABBEY & ABBOT, New York: MAY DREAMS. By Henry L. Abbey. This is apparently the production of a young poet, and bears the impress of more than ordinary talent. Whether its author does or does not possess the higher gift of genius time alone can definitely answer. What he has already written gives good promise; but reminiscences and halfechoes of the strains of Shelley are not to be relied upon as proof positive of any unusual degree of poetic genius. From TICKNOR & FIELDS, Boston, through W. P. HAZARD, Philadelphia : THE CANOE AND THE SADDLE. Adventures among the Northwestern Rivers and Forests; and Isthmiana. By Theodore Winthrop, author of "Cecil Dreeme," "John Brent," etc. Theodore Winthrop was a rare spirit. An ardent lover of nature, thoroughly enjoying the adventurous life of a wanderer in the wilds of the Northwest, he was also endowed with high intellectual gifts, among which was that of being enabled to perpetuate his enjoyment upon paper for the gratification of others. His descriptions are vivid, and his feelings are preserved in all their keenness; so that one can almost hear the dash of the waves, and delight in the sound of the wind among the pines. His command of language is remarkable, and in its use he is sometimes extravagant. The major portion of the book before us is a narrative of a hasty journey, with Indian companions, from Port Townsend to the Dalles of the Columbia. It is not beyond criticism, but there is a vigor and dash about the style that charms us in spite of all. THE POET'S JOURNAL. By Bayard Taylor. In the poems forming the first portion of this volume, and from which it derives its title, few readers not wholly unacquainted with the personal history of Mr. Taylor will fail to recognize what may be presumed to be a fair transcript of their author's past, so far, at least, as the poetic side of his life is concerned. Melodious and smooth in versification, and almost faultless in finish, they nevertheless lack that warmth of passion which is the life of all heart histories, and without which the poetry of love, sorrow, and happiness has few attractions for any but those metaphysical sentimentalists who find in the transcendental effusions of the German muse their model of poetic excellence. However, where Mr. Taylor is not seemingly overborne by the influence of a foreign literature, he presents us with many fine passages, and even with whole poems, worthy of a high place in our imaginative literature. Godey's Arm-Chair. OUR EMBELLISHMENTS FOR FEBRUARY NUMBER.-"The Duet," an admirable engraving, as all our subscribers will pronounce it; and an excellent story will be found illustrative of it. It is seldom that eleven figures in a picture are so distinctively made out, and yet each figure has an individuality about it that is unmistakable. Our Fashion-plate-well! our Fashion-plates require nothing said about them; they are a specialty of Godey, and are now recognized as the only true exponent of the fashions. We feel proud of them; proud because ours is the only magazine in this country that surpasses those of England and France. In this country no attempt at imitating them has yet been made. "Chair Seat." This pattern is worked on canvas. The small pattern in the corner has no connection with the seat. "The New Sewing-Machine" will appear in our March number. MIXED JOY.-We are receiving more subscribers now than we ever did any previous year that we have been in business; this is joy unmixed. Now comes the mix. We shall have to pay nearly all we receive to the papermakers; but-and here comes the inevitable but-we think we do not fare the worst. We deal with a firm that think that they have souls to be saved, and do not take the advantage of the combination, for combination it is in some respects; for we are informed that many of the Eastern dealers, who have no souls, have a year's stock on hand, and are grinding the publishers to the utmost extent. We hope these men will be marked for a future time. We do not wish them eventually to return to that condition from which their stock is formed-rags! for we have a more forgiving disposition. FIVE COPIES FOR $8.-We have no such clubs, and will not send even under the old terms five copies for $8. We publish our terms, and whatever they are we abide by them, and any attempt to make us swerve from them is in vain. PANIC IN PAPER.-The rise we make of club subscribers to $2 a copy will not begin to pay us, but we do not increase more in hopes that before long the price of paper may decrease. It is now about 100 per cent. above what it was when we issued our December number, and still going up. The small amount we have increased is but a trifle compared to that of the daily papers. They have raised 50 per cent. Papers formerly issued at two cents are now sold at three. This will pay ; but our rise is very small. Could we raise our price 50 per cent., we would smile at the rise of paper. Our present prices will be found on the cover of this number, and these terms we cannot depart from. We annex an article from the Baltimore American: "At the present price of printing paper the subscribers to newspapers are scarcely paying more for their printed sheets than the prime cost of the white paper on which they are printed. The advance in price in the last ten days is fully twenty-five per cent., or nearly one dollar per ream on the paper used by the American. But this is not all. We are threatened with a still further advance, and the probability is that the white sheet will soon cost more than the subscriber pays for the printed sheet. This condition of affairs cannot, of course, be sustained by the press, and we look to a very general advance in the charge to subscribers and agents for their papers. Some of the Northern papers have already advanced from two to three cents per copy, and the New York dailies are said to be discussing the imperative necessity of an advance." Since the above was written, the prices of the New York dailies have been advanced from two to three cents. This increase in the cost of paper is said to be mainly caused by the fact that the government contractors are using rags in the manufacture of blankets and cloth for the army, producing the article called 'shoddy.' They have bought up all the stock in the market, and will in due time force upon the government this miserable substitute for cloth. Another cause of the advance is the government tax on paper, and all the chemicals used in its manufacture. "There is probably no species of business so heavily taxed as the newspaper proprietor. He is required to pay all these combined taxes on the paper manufacture, has an additional tax of three per cent. on all the advertisements in his paper, and pays the tax on all other material used in his business. Then his income, if any should be left, is taxed, and, unless he advances the price to be paid by his readers-which will be light to them-the probability is that he will at least escape the tax on incomes.” THE AMERICAN PUZZLE was sent us for a notice in our December number; it is just in time for February. When will people learn that our immense editions require us to be out and stirring early? Well, the American Puzzle is a very ingenious matter, and will well repay a patient study. It is ingenious, and is somewhat like the old Chinese puzzles, so rife with us some years since. The inventor, J. M. Mueller, Detroit, Michigan, did not mention the price, but we presume it can be had on application to him. SEASONABLE CONUNDRUMS:— By what female name would a hen object to be called? -Addle-laid (Adelaide). What part of India resembles another part !-The one that 's Simla. When is an artist like a cook ?—When he's drawing a little duck. On what food should a prizefighter train ?-Mussels.

A Question for Coroners.-Must a man have "wound himself up to a pitch," before jumping off Waterloo Bridge? OUR MUSICAL COLUMN. A MONTH ago and we were hopeful at the prospect of a protracted opera season, but we have given up now. Two or three indifferent performances by troupes that come here to make good their losses in other cities are all that we dare expect. Will the time ever come that the plans and purposes for which the Academy was built-to establish a resident opera, with a school for the education of home talent-shall be realized? While we await a reply we walk down to that cosy little Opera House in Eleventh Street, where Carncross & Dixey put everybody in a good humor with their burlesques and exaggerations. Here we see scenes from Trovatore, and Concerts à la Musard in a style that would astonish Verdi and make Jullien roar. Of one thing we are satisfied-that burnt cork and broad caricature are not of necessity a drawback to good music. New Sheet Music for the Piano. Horace Waters, New York, publishes President Lincoln's Grand March, by Helmsmuller, embellished with the best likeness of the President we have seen, 50 cents. Music Box Galop, by Hering, beautiful composition, seven pages, 35 cents. L'Etoile de la Mer, fine valse, 35. Hillside Polka Quickstep, very pretty, 35. Volunteer's Polka, by Goldbeck, 25.

Pleasant Words for All, pretty song and chorus, by Roberts. Shall we Know Each Other There? Come Sing with Me, song and chorus. Flora Lyle, and Mother's Love is true, two sweet songs by Keller, sung by Bryant's Minstrels. Was my Brother in the Battle?

Still another fine seasonable composition is the Skating Polka, by Franz Staab, 25. Volunteer's Quickstep is a fine easy piece by F. Karl, author of our music in this number, 25. The Lafner, beautiful waltz by Otto, 25. Fairy Polka Redowa, pleasing, graceful piece by Vaas, 25. Schreiber's Band Drum Polka, capital composition, played by many of the military bands, 25. The last five 25 cent pieces we can send for $1, and they are all very pretty. New Music by the Editor.-We have published new editions of the following songs: Beautiful Valley (third edition in a few weeks). Poor Ben the Piper (seventh edition). O Lady, Touch those Chords Again. The Minstrel's Grave; and The Passing Bell, or Home Returning from the Wars. Price 25 cents each, or we will send the five to any address for $1. Orders for any of the foregoing carefully attended to, and the music mailed promptly and carefully. Address the Musical Editor, at Philadelphia, J. STARR HOLLOWAY. FITZGERALD'S CITY ITEM.-The New Year commenced the thirty-third volume and sixteenth year of this valuable family journal, and we are glad to see in its interesting columns renewed proofs of its popularity and prosperity. It deserves its long success. Its political course is eminently national and independent. In regard to the business interests of Philadelphia it has shown enterprise and integrity, which entitle it to the confidence of our merchants and manufacturers. As a literary journal the reputation of the City Item is unsurpassed. Its novellettes and tales are admirable, its poetry is far above the ordinary average, and among its contributors are many writers of celebrity. Its criticisms on the drama and the fine arts are intelligent and discriminating. In wishing our contemporary a happy New Year our wishes ask no more than it well deserves, and we take pleasure in expressing this brief opinion of a journal which has so long been an honor to the American Press. The City Item is published at 112 S. Third St., at two dollars a year. NOTICE TO THOSE WHO SEND US DRAFTS OR CHECKS.— Be particular, when you purchase a draft or check to send us, that the same has the proper stamp affixed to it by the person from whom you procure it. Extracts from the Law. "Stamps must be affixed to all documents by the party issuing the same. "The person using or affixing a stamp must write thereupon the initials of his name, and the date when used." "The penalty for making, signing, or issuing any instrument, document, or paper of any kind without the same having thereon a stamp to denote the duty, is $50, and such a paper will be invalid and of no effect." Any check on a bank, or sight draft, over $20 requires a two cent stamp; $20 and under no stamp is required. MISSING NUMBERS.-Those who do not receive a January number must write for it at once, and so with every other number of the year; if they do not, we do not feel obliged to supply them. A club will be sent for 1863, we will say, and we are then informed that certain numbers in 1862 never came to hand. This may be so, and then again it may not; they may have lost the numbers by lending them, and then call upon us to supply the deficiency. Now let it be distinctly understood that we will only sup ply missing numbers when they are written for at the time. When you receive a February number, and the January number has not been received, then write. MESSRS. J. E. TILTON & Co., Boston, have for sale all materials for the different styles of Painting and Drawing taught in their book, ART RECREATIONS. They will send a price list, if requested, and answer necessary questions, and will send, post paid, the book for $1 50. It teaches Pencil and Crayon Drawing, Oil Painting of every kind, Wax-work, Leather-work, Water Color Painting, and hundreds of fancy kinds of drawing, painting, etc. etc. LOSS OF DECEMBER NUMBERS.-We have had many applications for duplicate December numbers. We wish it understood that no fault lies with us. A large western mail was destroyed by fire that contained an immense quantity of our December issue intended for our subscribers. HERE IS A CHANCE FOR SOME FAIR LADY. A BACHELOR'S THOUGHTS ABOUT MATRIMONY. DEAR MR. GODEY: Your Lady's Book has so long supplied to me the place of a refined, agreeable, and entertaining companion that I had scarce felt the forlornness of bachelorhood until reminded of my miserable condition by a recent visit to my friend Joe Hopkins, which, I must confess, has seriously disturbed my mental equilibrium. You see I am a bachelor, and Joe was my college chum and classmate. Well, Joe is married and settled in life, and as happy a man as the sun shines on. He declares matrimony to be the ultimatum of human happiness, the grand panacea for all ills, the last lingering remnant of paradise below. His wife is the sweetest thing in nature, the sum total of human excellence; no man ever so blessed in a companion as he; in fact, his is the most felicitous union ever formed since Father Adam gave a rib to get his Eve. The dear creature is consulted on all matters of taste, propriety, and expediency, and everything is referred to her consideration as though she were an oracle. I don't believe Joe has bought a hat since his marriage without her approval. He goes and comes at her bidding like a well-trained spaniel, and seems to delight in the service. All my persuasions to get him into the country for a little rustication were of no avail, because he could not leave "wifie." Well I wonder how I would like such matrimonial servitude? such absolute subjugation to petticoated angel! But I suppose love's silken chain is no more burdensome than the glossy ringlets that cluster about the face of a fair maiden, or the white plume that decks the head of the victorious general. The contemplation of Joe's felicitous condition causes very uncomfortable sensations about my heart, and makes me almost willing to submit to the bondage of this mysterious matrimonial chain. But then what if the silkiness should vanish with the sweetness of the "honeymoon," and I should hear the clank of iron and feel the irksomeness of perpetual bondage, from which no magistrate could release me? That would be misery past endurance. To be sure, if my spouse had sense and skill, I never should feel the weight of chain nor hear the clank of bondage. But how could I secure such an one? The getting of a wife is such a hazardous undertaking, there is so much of the uncertainty and risk of the lottery about it that I am almost afraid to Incur the risks and responsibilities. What if she should beguile me with all the sweetness of a Desdemona until she had bound me fast, and then transform herself into a veritable shrew? What if to kisses and caresses should succeed frowns and repulses? All the horrors of old bachelorhood would be preferable to such a catastrophe. If I could get the right kind of a wife-a woman with sense and soul, affection and emotion, intelligence and discretion—in whose judgment I could confide, and in the lovingness of whose nature I could repose; one whose sympathies would beat responsive to my own; and when a thrill of joy gladdened my heart, it would glow in her eye; when grief and trouble agitated my breast, it would quiver in her lip; and when oppressed and dejected in spirit, I should hear words of encouragement in her gentle tones; if such a wife were mine, there would not be a happier man in existence than I. I would like, too, that she should possess some originality, some hidden resources of mind and character for varied circumstances to develop, so that I might discover occasionally new beauties and virtues. I would weary of a monotonous being, were she ever so good and sweet. Sameness, even though flavored with the essence of goodness, would soon become insipid. I want something more pungent, something of the flash and sparkle of spirit that can foam occasionally. I like a demonstrative nature that can give expression to the inner life, so that I may know when hopes elate, and when fears depress; when the soul is stirred with joyful emotion, and when deep grief broods upon the spirit. I like the natural play of feeling, well regulated by amiability; in short, I want a woman, modest, unaffected, and refined, whose emotions spring spontaneous, like the song of birds; whose conversation flows with graceful ease and lively interest; with a soul to appreciate the good and beautiful, and a hand and heart to will and do. If I could find such a woman, I would commit myself to the matrimonial noose in less than a week. "Would that Hea ven had made me such a wife!” TO CHARITABLE SOCIETIES.—We hope a different plan will be practised than that of former years. For instance, a visitor will go into a house and find everything looking clean and somewhat comfortable; the inference is that no charity is wanting here, because the woman of the house happens to be tidy, and the children's clothes whole, though, God help her! she has struggled hard and worked late to make things look comfortable. The same visitor will enter another house, and find everything dirty; children ragged, and the mother, perhaps, under the influence of liquor, but he doesn't see it. She tells a lamentable story, and charity is bestowed without stint. The really poor, but modest woman is chary of her words, and her chance of help is small. "Reform it altogether, I pray you." "THE SKETCH-BOOK."-A collection of easy landscape studies, drawn from nature by E. W. Holmes, 1711 Filbert Street, Philadelphia. We commend this series of sketches to all beginners. Mr. Holmes is a well-known drawing-master of this city, and would not publish anything but what would be useful to the student. There are fifteen sketches in the number now before us, and all admirably drawn. EXTRACT from a letter: GALENA, ILL. I have again busied myself in renewing my old club; happy to find its price remains the same, although every other article has so increased in price. MRS. R. Very glad you availed yourself of the present low prices. After the issuing of the February number, you will see that they are increased. Valentine MONTH.-This is the month when Valentines are sent. A most agreeable one to send us would be a $3 note, for one year's subscription to the Lady's Book. THE MUSIC IN THE LADY'S BOOK-Various complimentary letters have been received upon our music. There is one advantage that our subscribers have. They receive the music in the Book long before the music publishers issue it. By the time it is in others' hands, our friends are perfect in it. In fact, it is an "old song" to them. BOOKS BY MAIL.-We do not send books by mail—it costing us much more than we receive, and the books being lost, occasioning us a great deal of trouble. We mean bound books, published by others. THE CRAIG MICROSCOPE.-We furnish an engraving of the celebrated "Craig Microscope," a description of which we published in our last November number. This is the only instrument of high power that requires no local adjustment, and can therefore be readily used by every one, even by children. It magnifies about 100 diameters, or 10,000 times. As a Gift or a Present to a friend or child, it is excellent, being elegant, instructive, amusing, and cheap. The Microscope will be sent by mail, postage paid, on the receipt of $2 25; or, for $3 00 the Microscope and six mounted objects will be sent, postage paid. A box containing twelve different mounted objects will be sent by mail, postage paid, on the receipt of $1 50. Address HENRY CRAIG, Homœopathic College, Cleveland, Ohio. GODEY'S NEEDLES.-It will be seen by the advertisement on our cover that these useful little articles have advanced in price. The increased duty and premium on exchange, now nearly 50 per cent., and the premium on gold to pay duties, have obliged us to increase the price to 30 cents per 100, including, of course, the case that contains them: Dec. 1862. DEAR SIR: I must be exceedingly poor when I have decided to do without your Book. I take it to endeavor to become a judicious economist. Believe me, you have no greater devotee than myself. MRS. 8., Maryland. CANADA WEST. MR. GODEY-DEAR SIR: 1 have succeeded in getting a club for your truly valuable book. I am, dear sir, fond of your book, and most happy to recommend it to my acquaintances. It has been taken in our family for the last year. Its moral purity and ennobling sentiments make it worthy a place in every family. I wish you increased prosperity. B. TO COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS.-A new preparation called Newton's Prepared Colors for Albumen pictures is for sale by J. E. Tilton & Co., Boston. Price, with a bottle of Reducing Liquid complete, with full directions for painting, so that any person, though not an artist, may paint in a most beautiful manner, and very rapidly, the cartes de visite and photograph, etc., $3 25. There has been offered for sale a worthless imitation that will injure the photograph. See that the box obtained has the name and seal of J. E. Tilton & Co., Boston, who are sole agents for the United States. J. E. T. & Co. have also beautiful copies of flowers from nature (photographs) for coloring with these colors, or for copies for drawing and painting, which they will send by mail for 25 cents each. Also, cartes de visite of all distinguished persons. THE Fashion Editor desires us to say that she receives orders from those who are subscribers and those who are not; in fact, she never stops to inquire whether they are or are not subscribers to the Lady's Book. LETTER from an editor: DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 8th came duly to hand, and I hasten to reply. My P. O. address is -; and I already get your valuable magazine in exchange. Could you witness the effect of the intelligence of the receipt of Godey on our better half, you would rest assured that it is one of the "indispensables" of our household. Hoping that we may ever receive your valuable magazine in exchange, I remain, with due respects, Very truly yours, D. F. S. "Husks."-We are glad, though not surprised to find that this story is creating a great sensation. In answer to the editor of the Madison Herald, and the same answer will do for all others, the story is copyrighted, and cannot be copied. "I KNOW I am a perfect bear in my manners," said a young farmer to his sweetheart. "No, indeed, John; you have never hugged me yet. You are more sheep than bear." PARENTS HAVE MUCH TO ANSWER FOR.-At one of our dancing-schools for juveniles one of them was overheard to say to another: "My ma allows me to speak to you here, but I mustn't anywhere else. You all try to imitate me, and you do in some things; but my dresses you cannot imitate, as they are made in Paris." When this child grows older, will she not remember the parental instructions of her youth? The above memorandum was made ten years since. We came across it recently, and now state that the father of the child above referred to failed, took to bad habits, and soon died. The family is now very poor. POSTAGE ON THE LADY'S BOOK. - Postage for three Book. months, if paid in advance at the office where it is received, four and a half cents. |
