THE LARGEST PAPER IN THE WORLD
THE
Waverly Magazine,
A WEEKLY PAPER,
Devoted to Tales, Poetry, Music, History,
and General Intelligence.
MOSES A, DOW, Editor and Proprietor.
The unexampled circulation which this paper has ob-
i tained, in about two years, bears ample evidence of its
merits. Its contents are mostly original, from the best
writers of the country,—of whom it numbers nearly one
hundred, male and female, as regular contributors. The
music is worth more than the price of the paper, and
is a prominent feature, as it is either imported, or writ-
ten expressly for it. It contains sixteen pages in each
number, 11 by 15 inches.
Terms, $2 a year, or $1 for six months; six copies to
one post-office, $5. All subscriptions stopped at the
end of the time paid for. Postage only 26 cents a year,
when paid in advance at the office of delivery. Sample
numbers will be sent, if requested. A new' volume of
416 pages, commences every January and July. A Ti-
tle Page and Index included in each volume.
Among the notices of the press, we will only take-
three, as a sample of all the rest.
Waverley Magazine.—A new era of beauty and
style, in the publication of newspapers, has been intro-
duced in the bringing forth of the Waverley Magazine.
This is not a pamphlet, but an .elegantly printed news-
paper, in the quarto form. Tfie style is rather showy, ___
out elegant. It is filled with R great variety of matrer, physicians, which warrants—me
prose and poetry, tales, SKetches, essays and music. ~-1-------i—
A fews years ago it would have been a marvel iu the
newspaper enterprise—-IVest Citizen.
The Waverly Magazine.—We are happy to perceive
by the last number of this elegant publication, that it
has acquired the ivide popularity which its high litera-
ry character and fine typographical appearance could
not fail to procure for it. Each umber contains more
reading matter than any of its w'eekly contemporaries,
and as much, almost, as any of the monthlies. Choice
music is likewise given every week__-Cottage Gazttte.
Waverley Magazine.—We have received", from a
friend, a number of this elegant sheet. Boston has be-
come noted, of late, for its beautiful productions in the
newspaper department, and the Waverley stands No. 1
in the list, it's contents are mostly original, and it
numbers among its host of contributors the talent of
the country. Its editor, Moses A. Dow, is a fine wriong'
and has already obtained an enviable reputation amter,
the fraternity.—N. F. Journal.

R some time past I have been engaged in a businesa
(known only to myself and comparatively few ots-
ged me an income of from $3,000 to $5,000 per annum—
tinent next Fall, 1 am willing to give full instructions
m tiie aic to any person in the United States who will
remit me Two Dollars. I am induced from the suc-
cess 1 have been favored with, and the many ’nappy ac-
knowledgments that 1 have received from those who I
have instructed m the art, and who are now clearing
from $8 to $15 per day, to give every person a chance
to come iu possession of this valuable means to make a
Hmr.ii fortune. There ino Humbug about the business
(ji \ herein alluded to. References oi' the best class can be
j j. J..-, jgiven as regards its character, and I can also refer to<
: per.mi:. in Ubicago, as well as in this place, who have
' ' l' ’ within three mouths embarked in the business, and who
inaa al; testify that thev are making from $8 to $15 per day
‘Mighty careless you be of small matters
no hundred cents make a dollar whar I
J jRun from. Fifteen cents aint to be sneezed
L J^Tjpood morning.”
Messrs. Burlap, Jean & Co. were elect)i
* lienal the miraculous honesty of the down
I easter, -and would not let him go so readily,
r They insisted upon his purchasing a bill of
I goods, but Zerubbable was unwilling. “It
1 was darned hard to pay for ’em,” he said,
I “held been all winter raising that.” But
f to their gratification they succeeded in se-
t curing a good customer, by selling him a
| bill of* one thousand dollars, payable in six
, months.
“The treble is clear, pure, powerful, and very
melodious, the base is deep, rolling, and sono-
rous ; the middle part is rich, and sympathetic,
and possessing the powerof singing, j. e.pf uni-
ting th sound of each tone, in a degree but
rarely achieved.”—Heniy C. Watson.
"Our friends wtlI find at Mr. Waters’ store
the very best assortment of music and pianos to
be found in the United States, and we urge our
southern and western friends to give him a cal)
whenever they go to New York.”—Graham’s
Magazine.
“We consider them worthy of special atten-
tion, from the resonant and exceedingly musi-
cal tone which Mr. Waters has succeeded in at-
aining.”—N. Y. Musical World <J- Times
“There is one-which, for beauty of finish and
richness and brilliancy of tone, equals i! it does
not excel, anything of the kind we have ever
seen. It is from the establishment of Horace
Waters. Being constructed of the best and most
thoroughly seasoned material, and upon im-
proved principles, it is capable of resisting the
action of the climate and of standing a long time
in tune.—Savan?iah Republican, Savannah Ga.
“His instruments are well known for their su-
perior qualities, though they scarcely surpass in
richness, volume of lone and delicacy of touch
some instruments of more obscure makers which
we have seen: yet even in these prime respects.
Waters’ pianos and melodeons challenge com-
parison with the finest made anywhere in the
country.—Home Journal.
C, L. Sholes editor of the Kenosha “Tribune
and Telegraph” says, “The piano was received
in good order, and is pronounced an excellent
instrument by good judges, the tone of it is par-
ticularly commended as is indeed its external
workmanship and finish, compared with its cost.”
Speaking of the Horace Waters Pianos and
Melodeons at the Crystal Palace the“N. Y. Des-
patch” says: “A number of these pianos and
pedal bass and organ melodeons, from their
great power, and fullness and richness of tone
attract the very general attention and commen-
dation of visitors Waters “New scale” is recog-
nized by artists as not only a sensible but im-
portant improvement in pianos.

“The Horace Waters’ Pianos are known as
among the very best. We are enabled to speak
of these instruments with some degree of confi-
dence, from personal knowledge of their excel-
lent tone and durable quality.—N. Y. Evangelist.
Says “The Christian Intelligencer: ” The
Horace Waters Pianos, for elegance of construc-
tion, superior depth and sweetness of tone, were
pronounced by competent judges at the Crystal
Palace, to be iu all respects master-pieces of
mechanical skill. Having inspected a
number of the Horace Waters’ Pianos, we
, speak of their merits, from personal knowledge
■ ■as being of the very best quality.”

male iri-egulariti.es and all improper discharges from
both sexes. It matters not from what cause the disease
originated, however long standing or obstinate the case,
recovery is certain, and in a shorter time than a per-
manent cure can be effected by any other treatment,
even after the disease has baffled the skill of eminent
physicians and resisted all their means of cure. The
medicines are pleasant without odor, causing no sick-
ness, and free from mercury or balsam. During twenty
years of practice, I have rescued from the jaws of Death,
many thousands, who, in the last stages of the above
mentioned diseases had been giv en up to die by their
in promising to the af-
flicted, who may place themselves under my care, a per-
fect and most speedy cure. Secret diseases are the great-
est enemies to health, as they are the first cause of con-
sumption, Scrofula and many diseases, and should be a
terror to the human family, as a permanent cure is sel-
dom ever effected, a majority of the cases falling into the
hands of incompetent persons, who not only fail to cure
the diseases but ruin the constitution, filling the system
with mercury, which with the disease, hastens the suff-
erer to rapid consumption.
But should the disease and the treatment not cause
death speedily and the victim marries, the disease is en-
tailed upon the children, who are born with feeble con-
stitutions, and the current of life corrupted by a virus
which betrays itself in Scrofula, Tetter, Ulcers, Erup-
tions and other affections of the skin, eyes, throat ancL
numbers among its host of contributors the talent of lungs, entailing upon them a brief existence of suffering,
■ " ■ ■ ' and consigning them to an early grave.
SELF ABUSE, is another formidable enemy to health,
for nothing else in the dread catalogue of human diseases
causes so destructive a drain upon the human system
drawing its thousands of victims through a few years of
suffering down to an untimely grave. It destroys the
Nervous system, rapidly wastes away the energies of
life, causes mental derangement, prevents a proper de-
velopment of the system, disqualifies for marriage, soci-
ety, business and all earthly happiness, and leaves the
sufferer wrecked in body and mind, predisposed to con-
sumption and a train of evils more to be dreaded than
death itself. With the fullest confidence I assure the
unfortunate victim of self-abuse that a permanent and
speedy cure, can be effected, and with the abandonment
of ruinous practices, my patients can be restored to ro-
bust’ vigorous health.
The afflicted are cautioned against the use of Patent
Medicines, for there are so many ingenious snares in
the columns of the public prints to catch and rob the
unwary sufferers, that millions have their constitutions
ruined by the vile compounds of quack doctors, or the
equally poisonous nostrums vended as “Patent Medi-
cines.” I have carefully analyzed many of the so-called
Patent Medicines and find that nearly all of them con-
tain Corrosive sublimate, which is one of the strongest
preparations of mercury, and a deadly poison, which, in-
stead of curing the disease, disables the system for life-
Thre-fourths of the patent ncstr ims now in use arc
put up by unprincipled and ignorant persons who do not.
even understand the alphabet of the materia mcdica,
and are equally as destitute of any knowledge of the hu-
man system, having only one object in view, and that
to make money regardless of consequences.
Irregularities and all diseases of males and females
treated on principles established by twenty years of
practice, and sanctioned by thousands of the most re-
markable cures. Medicines with full directions sent to
any part of the United States or Canadas, by patient.-,
communicating their symptoms by letter. Business cor

Extempore Baby.—Parisian sympathy is
I very much interested, just now, in the ac-
I counts given iu the growth and accomplish-
| ment of a child found asleep in his cradle
at the sacking of Sebastopol. The French
soldier who first came upon the little un
L conscious creature, took him carefully in gracishaw charles,
his arms to bear him to af
intending to fully adopt and rear him as
his own. But an English officer, a man of Lleaveland capt.^
I wealth and high social position, chanced to
F meet him with the babe pressed to his
n bosom and on inquiring into it, offered to
buy his prize. Upon consideration of how
I much better off the little "enemy” would be
1 with the rank and means of his proposed
step-father, the soldier agreed—giving up
the boy and receiving one pound as the price.
h Delighted with his impromptu baby, the
officer took him to England, and, though a
| bachelor had him properly cared for by his
I wealthy relatives He is, at present, daily
I seen mounted on his little pony, and riding
i in Hyde Park with his adopted papa, one

The “New York Express” .’ays : “The Hor-
ace Waters Pianos are pronoun Ted by musical
amateurs as a decidedly superior article in all
the requisites of this instrument, and it is fast su-
perceding those of other manufacturers.”
“The New York Evening Post” says: “The
Horace Waters Pianos pie excellent as well as
cheap ; but he has those of other makers, as well
as second hand ones, capitally adapted to limi-
ted means.”
Says the “Knoxville (Tenn.) Standard :” “Mr.
Waters has long experience in the business, and
has gained a reputation unsurpassed for -selling
the best instruments in the country.”
‘•The Sunny South” reaches us with the fol-
lowing : “This gentleman is one of the most ex-
tensive music dealers in the Union. His pianos
land melodeons have obtained great celebrity for
their excellent tone and durable quality.”

Y^REAT success is always the most essfllni-
sive proof of great merit. Judged by thl?
test, there is no labor-saving machine before ths
public comparable to Singer’s Sewing Kiaehiaes.
After establishing the highest rspatatiesi ia the
United States they were exhibited at the lats
“Exposition Utiiverselle” in France, whete they
carried off the highest premium; and a great
manufactory to make them has been built ih
Paris,
In Every Branch of Industry,
In which sewing is to be done, these ataehiuss
can be used with immense profit. As the speed1
of the Railway train is to travelling on foet,
is sewing with Singer’s Machines compared
with hand sewing. No tailor, shoemaker, dress-
maker, carriage trimmer, saddler, hatter, &«.,
should be without one. The fair profit ofosiag
one of these machines regularly employed is
One Thousand Dollars a Tsar.
In all private families where there is
sewing to be done, these machines are an is
valuable assistance. Planters and hotel-keepers,
find them particularly’ convenient and profitable.
These machines are simple in their eoustrae-
tion and very strong and durable, beingrthe
ly kind of Sewing Machine ever made, by
which every sort of work, coars^e_pf<f?ne, eoald
be perfectly executed. Thousands
atid worthless Sewing Machines have bees
made and sold under various names, bat Sin-
ger’s Machines alone Have been found every ■
where to satisfy the wants of the public.
Plain printed instructions for using, ara seat
with each machme, from which any cue can
readily acquireJ.be art of managing them. The
machines are11 packed securely to go te aey
part of the world. To all persons desiring more
particular information we will on application by
letter at either of our offices forward a copy of
f. M. Singer & Co’s Gazette, a paper wholly
devoted to the Sewing Machine inte’rest,
