From Centennial ,of Na .rWrt/‘z Amcn'can, September 20, 1884. Although nearly every one knows of Godey's Lady’s Book (published at 1006 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia), it is not gen- erally known that it is the oldest monthly publication in America. Established in 1830, it has outlived all othep magazines, and might with propriety be called. the mother of magazines in this Established before the use of envelOpcs or postage stamps, before the introduction of steam, printing, steam rail— ways, steamships in this country, or steamboats to any extent; before the invention of steel pens, telegraphy, telephones, sewing machines, electric lights, and a hundred and one other promi- nent inventions of the age, greyhaired men and women re- member it as an entertainer when their hearts were young, and young people associate it with their first introduction to stories of romance. ‘And the rising generation find it as pure and interesting as did its parents, aye, as_ its grandparents did in the ' days of V "Auld Lang Syne." It is an old and well-remembered landmark in"3ur American literature, and we doubt not that many of our readers will recall with it pleasant memories of ' ' ' Pages of Reading, comprehending Poetry, Stories,.Sket.ch_es, History, Novels, Dialogues and Charades, by the best magazine writers of the day;- also, descriptions of prevalhng'fashions from all parts of the world; Recipes by practical housekeepers; Art, therary,Dramatlc and Current Notes of the day, and descriptions of the most exquisite Fancy Work.

Godey's Lady’s Book still holds on its way as young and fresh, to all appearance, as ever, giving attention to. household affairs, decorative art, fashions, etc., and with many a helpful word and suggestion thrown in here and there. L ,_ _ . Years' Echl-ience, and out very large circulation, alone enables us to offer inducements greater than any other ' $2.00 magazine published. ' who now publishes it has evidently determined that all who seek to renew their acquaintance with the old favorite shall not be disappointed. ‘ As viewed mechanically it is excelled by none, while its corps of literary contributors includes many of .the best-known names of magazine writers. It certainly speaks well for it and our people that, notwithstanding the enormous efforts made by the publishers of the numerous "penny dread- fuls," it finds such a large patronage, not only in Aurelica, but all over the world. Although its low subscription price ($2.00 a year) may somewhat influence its large circulation,-we are in- clined to ascribe its popularity to intrinsic merit, and we most cordially bid the old book godspeed on its second half-century, trusting that we may be permitted to congratulate it on its (:en- tennial anniversary. _ A Sample of Pleasalit Words Received from Subscribes: DEAR Gonsv :—-‘My interest in the magazine prompted me to endeavor to get you some new names.
