BREACH OF PROMISE CASE--NOT TO COME OFF.--The "Mauch Chunk Gazette" says: "Godey promises one hundred pages in each number, and he has never yet been indicted for '_breach of promise_.'" * * * * * WE do not want the gentlemen to read this paragraph. But, ladies, did you ever see such superb fashion plates as we have been publishing? Look at the one in this number. Paris can't surpass that. They seem even to have excited to admiration our grave, but good friends of the press. The "Mercer Whig" says: "The fashion plates given in the 'Lady's Book' are worth the subscription price to any lady." The "Plainfield Gazette" adds a remark which our vanity also induces us to copy: "Godey is the greatest favorite with ladies amongst publishers, and his fashion plates lead all other magazines." The "Ebensburg Alleghanian" winds up with, "The fashion plates are graceful and colored, superior to any that we have yet seen." And they and our other embellishments shall surpass all others. By way of variety, we give in this number a mezzotint engraving, which the graceful pen of Mrs. Neal has illustrated--"_Selling the Wedding Ring or Love Token_." * * * * * THIRD EDITION.--We are now using our third edition, but, foreseeing the great demand, we have kept ourselves supplied. Every day's orders have been mailed within the twenty-four hours. * * * * * IS it economical for a family to take the "Lady's Book?" that is the question. The "Brandon Republican," says "It is _decided economy_ in any family to take it. The useful information to be derived from it in a year is worth ten times the subscription." * * * * * PATTERNS, PATTERNS.--We shall have the most beautiful patterns for spring wear that have ever been offered from this establishment. Send on your orders soon, ladies. * * * * * BACHELORISM AGAIN.--One of them says: "Whatever amount of 'cooing' we may have in our honeymoon, we may be pretty sure of having a fearful amount of bill-ing." * * * * * MERCHANT PRINCES AND STREET OF PALACES.--The splendid stores of Morris, Hallowell, & Co., and Caleb Cope & Co., recently finished, are the most splendid specimens of store architecture to be found in the United States. They have recently been opened for public view, and crowds of ladies and gentlemen have visited both establishments, and been delighted with the varied and tasty arrangements so beautifully conceived and admirably executed. * * * * * ARTHUR'S "Home Gazette" says:--
