"The Square Piano of the same makers, No. 12790, was very much admired. It has great fulness, depth and mellowness of tone, and, in certain grave styles of music, would probably be unexcelled by any similar instrument on exhibition."

READ WHAT THE PAPERS SAY:

It already excels every child's paper that we know of in this country.-Chicago Even. Journ. THE LITTLE CORPORAL.-The Pittsburgh Christian Advocate says: "The best paper for children, published in this great country of ours, is The Little Corporal. It is a gem in the catalogue of monthlies."

Forney's Philadelphia Daily Press says of it: "The Little Corporal is destined to become the great children's paper of America."

"It is, without doubt, the best and cheapest children's gazette published anywhere.”—Marshall (Mich.) Statesman.

The Little Corporal.-Though modestly calling itself by a subordinate title, it is really a very Major General among the children's magazines.-Chenango Telegraph. (Norwich, N. Y.) The most interesting and instructive monthly in the Union.-Louisville Democrat. Universally admitted to be the best juvenile paper now in existence.-Dubuque Daily Times. It strikes the right key, and is admirable-neither heavy nor silly, but simple, fresh, buoyant, and earnest.-Adams' (N.Y.) Visitor.

Its influence for good can never be estimated.-Grand Haven News.

Indeed, there is no paper of the kind published that approaches it as a juvenile journal. -Poughkeepsie Daily Press.

It is the cleverest thing of its kind yet realized in America.-Roxbury (Mass.) Journal. The Little Corporal.-Certainly we have seen nothing in the shape of a child's paper which could compare with this which comes to us from over the prairies.-Portland (Me.) Daily Press. The Little Corporal is conducted with a great deal of tact, taste, and care. Either this paper or Our Young Folks-and it would be hard to choose between them-would prove a welcome present for the children.-The Nation.

It should be in every household.-N. Y. Teacher.

It is now, as it has been, the child's magazine of the country.-Norwich (N.Y.) Telegraph. The brave, beautiful, and good Little Corporal conquers all.-Vermont State Journal. The Little Corporal is at hand. There never was a better paper printed for children. We should desire no better monument to leave behind us in the world than the gratitude of the little folks who read this paper, all the way from Maine to Oregon -Bloomington (Ill.) Pantagraph. It is a gem. Chaste, elegant and excellent in its every department.-Lancaster (Pa.) Repub. After a careful examination, we can cheerfully say of The Little Corporal that it deserves all the praise that has been lavished upon it by the press everywhere.-Philadel. Episcopal Recorder.

The above are only a tithe of the many beautiful notices our young soldier has received. Address

From Judge Story.

I have read the prospectus of "The Living Age" with great pleasure, and entirely approve the plan. It will enable us to possess in a moderate compass a select library of the best productions of the age. I wish it every success. I shall be glad to be a sub

From the Historian, Jared Sparks.

I fully concur with Mr. Justice Story in his estimate of the utility and importance of "The Living Age" as a valuable contribution to our literature, not merely of temporary interest, but of permanent value.

From Chancellor Kent.

I approve very much of the plan of your work, "The Living Age," one of the most instructive and popular periodicals of the day. I wish that my name may be added to the list of subscribers.

From the Historian Prescott.

I have little doubt that Mr. Littell will furnish a healthy and most agreeable banquet to the reader; and t seems to me that a selection from the highest foreign journals will have a very favorable influence on our reading community.

From George Bancroft.

From the specimens that the public has seen, it cannot be doubted that Mr. Littell is able to make, from he mass of contemporary literature, instructive and nteresting selections. I wish you success with all my

From George Ticknor.

I have never seen any similar publication of equal nerit. I heartily wish for it the wide success it deerves as a most agreeable and useful selection from he vast mass of the current periodical literature of our imes. Be pleased to consider me a regular subscriber o "The Living Age."

From the late President of the United States, John
Quincy Adams.

Of all the periodical journals devoted to literature nd science which abound in Europe and in this counry, "The Living Age" has appeared to me the most seful.

to the people, at a very moderate sum, the cream of a

so well as to have deserved and earned for himself
the thanks and esteem of all grateful readers. Out of
so wide a field to select with taste and good judgment

From a Gentleman in Knoxville, Tennessee, writing under date of May 14, 1864.

You can scarcely be more gratified to hear from me than I am to renew my acquaintance with you through the "Living Age." Among all the deprivations of the last three years (nearly), that of your journal has not, I assure you, been of the minor class. As, however, I had a complete set of it from the beginning, I turned to the bound volumes, and gave them quite a thorough reading. Indeed, these same volumes proved a real solace and refreshment intellectually to the family, in the midst of the protracted literary dearth that we have suffered. We therefore hail the return of your familiar face, as a journalist, with sincere pleasure, as we welcome the spring after a long and severe winter, and wish you long life, and an uninterrupted career of usefulness.

Celebrity.

In the formation of my mind and character I owe as much to "The Living Age" as to all other means of
