Every lady ought to take " Peterson." It is emphatically, The Magazine for the Times ! The stories in " Peterson " are conceded to be the best published anywhere. All the chief female writers ofAmerica are regular contributors. In addition to the usual number of shorter stories, there is being given in 1869, Fire Original Copy-righted Novelets, viz : MARIA ANTOINETTE'S TALISMAN, by Mrs. Ann S.

These fine plates contain from five to six figures each, and excel any thing of the kind.
