Graham’s Magazine.—This magazine is last in order of reception,
but first in order of merit. It has some very fine
embellishments, and is filled to the brim with the rich
contributions of the best talent in the country. What a
revolution Graham has brought about in the Philadelphia
Monthlies. “Milliner Magazines”—a soubriquet to which they were
justly entitled, for they did little else than record the
changes of fashion, and furnish sickly, mawkish tales for
milliner’s apprentices—is now, applied to them, a misnomer.
From Graham’s the fashion plates are entirely discarded, in the
others they form an unimportant feature; and these magazines are
now filled with reading matter of an entirely different
character—so that where was once “milk for babes” is now “meat
for strong men.” As this is all Graham’s work, we hope he will
have his reward.—_Eastern Mail, N. Y._
Graham for July, surpasses any thing in its line that has come
under our observation. It is well filled with the choicest of
reading matter and some beautiful embellishments. Graham never
brags about his Magazine, but he is always sure to rival every
attempt, no matter by whom made, to throw him in the shade; he
seems to know just what the ladies want, and he sees that they
have it.—_Lansingburg Gazette._
Nothing but enterprise and untiring energy could produce such a
Magazine—and these Graham possesses. Bear in mind that while
some publishers give 112 pages of reading matter now and then,
(beginning and end of a volume) Graham gives 112 pages every
month.—_Gazette, Ellicott Mills, Md._
Graham’s Magazine for July was duly received. It is the very
best Magazine published in the United States. It cannot fail to
suit all kinds of readers. _American, Albion, N. Y._

J. K. Mitchell.—The Masonic Mirror for June contains a capital likeness
of Doctor John K. Mitchell, R. W. Jr. Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of
Pa. The many friends of this eminent gentleman will be gratified with
this delicate testimony. Dr. Mitchell is too well known as an able
medical and literary man to require eulogy at our hands. His popularity
as an able speaker and writer, and as a polished, refined gentleman, is
second to that of no man among us, and his manly and unselfish stand for
the principles to which he is attached, have endeared him to the people.
The publishers could not have made a selection better calculated to
attract attention and subscription to the work.
