On reference to our advertisement in this number, it will be seen what is in store for the subscribers to Godey. When we announce the fact that the plates are engraved in the same style as those they have seen, “The Lord’s Prayer,” “The Evening Star,” “The Creed,” “We Praise Thee, O God,” and those contained in the present number, they will conclude that a rich treat is to be obtained for the trifling outlay of $3. Would it not be a convenient method, where it is difficult to obtain a club of five subscribers, to remit us $10 for a club of five years? Any person remitting $10 in advance, will be entitled to the Lady’s Book five years. We cannot forbear inserting the following notices:—
“The Lady’s Book is the best, most sociable, and decidedly the richest magazine for truth, virtue, and literary worth now published in this country.”—Indiana Gazette.
“In matter of sentiment, and light literature, and elegant embellishments of useful and ornamental art, Godey’s Lady’s Book takes the lead of all works of its class. We have seen nothing in it offensive to the most fastidious taste.”—Church Quarterly Review and Ecclesiastical Reporter.
“We find it difficult, without resorting to what would be thought downright hyperbole, to express adequately the admiration excited by the appearance of this last miracle of literary and artistic achievement.”—Maine Gospel Banner.
The above are unsolicited opinions from grave authorities.

BLITZ HAS ARRIVED.—What joy this will carry into the minds of the young! Blitz, the conjurer, the kind-hearted Blitz, who dispenses his sugar things amongst his young friends with such a smile—and they are real sugar things, too; they don’t slip through your fingers, except in the direction of your mouth, like many of the things he gives the young folks to hold—is at his old quarters, the Lecture-room at the Museum.

The Weber Minstrels is the title assumed by some gentlemen of this city, who intend to give concerts here and elsewhere. We commend them to our friends of the press in the various places they may visit. We can speak confidently of their singing; and we arc sure that, wherever they go, their manners as gentlemen and their talent as singers will commend them to public favor.
