THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY FOR 1868. The Publishers of the ATLANTIC MONTHLY have now for ten years aimed to give the American people a first-class Magazine. They have spared no pains or expense to procure from the most able and popular writers of America and England, articles embodying the best literary culture and the freshest and most vigorous thought of the age. The excellent and varied contents of the twenty volumes already issued, and the large and constantly increasing circulation of the Magazine, prove the full success of the Publishers in their efforts to furnish a periodical that should meet the wants of intelligent readers. The Publishers will seek to give yet greater variety and value to the ATLANTIC in future, to make it the medium through which the foremost writers shall communicate with the public; and they are gratified in being able to promise for the coming year such contributions as cannot fail to accomplish this result. PROSPECTUS FOR 1868. MR. CHARLES DICKENS will furnish an Original Story, in three or four numbers, entitled "George Silverman's Explanation." DR. I. I. HAYES, the Arctic Voyager, will contribute a series of papers on "Life in Greenland and the Arctic Regions," similar in character to "Doctor Moltke." JAMES PARTON will continue to furnish articles on cities of the United States, with prominent Industrial and other topics. An article on “ Pittsburg" will appear in the January number. BAYARD TAYLOR, who is now in Europe, will contribute regularly papers on "Out of-the-way Corners of the Old World." Two excellent Serial Stories will be commenced in the January number. RALPH WALDO EMERSON will commence his contributions for the year with an article on "Aspects of Culture," which will be given in the January number. EDWARD EVERETT HALE, Author of "The Man without a Country," will contribute frequently throughout the year. His first paper for 1868 will appear in the January number, under the name of "A Week in Sybaris." EDWIN P. WHIPPLE will continue his series of admirable articles on English Literature. JOHN MEREDith Read, Jr., Author of "An Historical Inquiry concerning Henry Hudson," will contribute a series of Historical Articles, of deep general interest. WILLIAM J. STILLMAN, United States Consul in Crete, will furnish a series of papers, giving his experiences and observations during the struggle of the last year or two between the Grecks and Turks. CHARLES DAWSON SHANLY will contribute regularly. Several new contributors, who have already made their mark in the Magazine, have sent in capital articles which will appear during the coming year. Among the regular writers for the ATLANTIC, in addition to those already named, the publishers are still able to promise contributions from H. W. LONGfellow, G. W. CURTIS, R. W.

BOKER, HENRY JAMES, JR., DR. S. W. MITCHELL, G. W. GREENE, SAMUEL OSGOOD, J. G. HOLLAND, CAROLINE CHESEBORO, J. H. A. BONE. The Publishers deem it one of the most important functions of such a Magazine as they aim to make the ATLANTIC, to discuss frankly and temperately the great political principles and issues that agitate the country; and they will endeavor to procure from the ablest writers of the land such articles as will aid to a clear understanding of the leading questions of the day, and to a settlement of them in the interest of Liberty and Justice.

With the number for January, 1868, “OUR YOUNG FOLKS" will enter upon its fourth year, and the Publishers have peculiar pride and pleasure in directing attention to the following schedule of the principal matters which are to be contained in tho new volume, believing that this exhibit alone will be sufficient to prove their constant devotion to the interests of their subscribers, as well as to show that for variety of contents, for strength and brilliancy of writers, and for liberality and felicity of illustration, "OUR YOUNG FOLKS" is unrivalled in the juvenile literature of the world, deriving, as it does, its material from the pens and pencils of American and foreign authors and artists, while in all cases adhering to its principle of giving original matter in every department. The responsible management of the Magazine will continue in the same hands as heretofore, and while the rule of the Editorial office will still be to secure all the best things that can be had without regard to their source, the positive arrangements of the conductors include these features:— MR. CHARLES DICKENS-whose pen has created such beautiful pictures of child life in the his tories of Little Nell, Paul Dombey, Poor Jo, and David Copperfield—has been induced to coʻ operate with the Editors of " OUR YOUNG FOLKS," and has written a juvenile story expressly for this Magazine, which will not even appear in England, the exclusive right of publication having been purchased at a very large outlay by the Publishers of "OUR YOUNG FOLKS." This story is entitled "A HOLIDAY ROMANCE"; it is in four parts, and each part will be ac companied by a full-page Illustration, drawn by the greatest English designer, MR. JOHN GIL BERT, who has consented to waive his decision not to draw again on wood, in order to give additional interest to MR. DICKENS'S" Romance." THE AUTHOR OF "JOHN HALIFAX" (MISS MULOCK) has also been engaged, and will write several articles in prose and verse. Two of these, "The Little Jeun" and "Running Away," have already been received, and will appear as soon as the Illustrations can be prepared, DR. ISAAC I. HAYES will complete his already famous Arctic story, "Cast away in the Cold," in the course of the year. MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, after finishing her narratives of "Pussy Willow and Emily Proudie," will contribute other tales and sketches in her inimitable manuer. MISS GEORGIANNA M. CRAIK, one of the most favorite of younger English writers, is to be a contributor. Her first story," The Old Life Boat," will be printed in an early number. THE AUTHOR OF "LESLIE GOLDTHWAITE " will print in the present volume a new story, called "When I was a Little Girl.” "GEORGE EAGER" will relate more of Round-the-World Joe's strange but true adventures and observations in Oriental lands. China has been completed, but Turkey, Hindostan, Burmah, Madagascar, and other romantic Eastern lands and waters are yet to be described. MR. J. H. A. BONE will supply for alternate numbers six historical articles, giving, in a form no less interesting and delightful than fiction, authentic accounts of some of the most important epochs in middle age and modern history. Several of the subjects are those of religious and civil liberty, such as The Downfall of the Saxon Gods, The Children's Crusade, The Magna Charta, &c. These articles will be illustrated with historical accuracy, and will fill a place which has always been vacant. DR. J. W. PALMER will occasionally paraphrase an ancient myth, or relate some story of our day. THE AUTHOR OF the "SEVEN LITTLE SISTERS" has prepared a charming series, called "Dame Nature's Stories," and these sketches, similar in character to her former contributions, will also appear in "OUR YOUNG FOLKS," explaining many curious phenomena of animal and vegetable life. MRS. LOUISE E. CHOLLET, in addition to her fanciful stories, has written three little lectures upon Heat, in a novel and entertaining form, which will be given soon. MISS E. S. PHELPS, MRS. A. M. DIAZ, MRS. JANE G. AUSTIN, MRS. HELEN C. WEEKS, "AUNT FANNY," THE AUTHOR OF "LITTLE PRUDY," MARY N. PRESCOTT, T. B. ALD RICH, CHARLES J. FOSTER, Charles D. SHANLY, "WILLY WISP," CLARENCE COOK, and many of the best writers have all prepared articles for the volume of 1868, in which also appear some articles by the EDITORS, and which, it may reasonably be anticipated, will contain occasional contributions by MR. LONGFELLOW, MR. WHITTIER, and PROF. LOWELL. MUSIC will continue a prominent feature. To some original pieces will be added extracts from Beethoven, Mozart, Hummel, and other classic authors; the selections being made and arranged by JULIUS EICHBERG, Director of the Boston Conservatory of Music. THE ILLUSTRATIONS will continue to be the very best that can be obtained from any available source, and it is only necessary to recall the names of DARLEY, HENNESSY, TENNIEL, EYTINGE, WEIR, MCENTEE, STEPHENS, WAUD, FENN, HOPPIN, FREDERICKS, WHITE, and LUMLEY, and to compare the later with the earlier numbers of the MAGAZINE, to appreciate how much attention has been bestowed upon this department, and to see how rapid and decided has been its improvement, while a comparison between "OUR YOUNG FOLKS," and any other juvenile magazine cannot fail to show that the former maintains the highest standard in this respect. FULL PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS will be published every month; an early number will contain the companion of the COLORED PICTURE contained in the November number, while occasional COLORED SUPPLEMENTS, at least equal to that which will accompany the December issue, will be presented to the subscribers. THE CHILDREN will still have their own departments in the Magazine, -"ROUND THE EVENING LAMP" and "OUR LETTER-BOX," which will be as interesting as Editors and Subscribers can make them. Each number of the new volume will contain a Picture Puzzle from Shakespeare, in the most agreeable style of humorous design. It will thus be seen that OUR YOUNG FOLKS for 1868 has something for its patrons in every juve. nile department; ROMANCE, HISTORY, FICTION, FACT, POETRY, PROSE, FANCY, SCIENCE, MUSIC, ART and AMUSEMENT, and must continue to be, as it now is, A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY AND DELIGHT. SUBSCRIPTION. -THE TERMS OF "OUR YOUNG FOLKS" will remain unchanged, in spite of the greatly increased expense which the publication of the new volume will involve. They are as follows: One Copy for twelve months, $2.00; Three Copies, $5.00; Five Copies, $8.00; Ten Copies, $15.00; Twenty Copies, $30.00; with an additional copy free to the getter-up of the club of twenty.

These CHROMOS are fac-similes of oil and water-color paintings; being artistic copies of the best masters. They are published by L. PRANG & CO., No. 159 Washington Street, Boston. For many years it has been the constant desire of these artists to popularize Art and Art ideas in the homes of the people of America; in their various experiments, they spent thousands of dollars before they published their first picture; but great success has crowned their efforts, and now their Catalogue enumerates a vast array of subjects, including Sunday-school Cards, the Beatitudes of our Saviour, cards for Christmas, "Autumn Leaves," Moths and Butterflies, up to the "Groups" of Tait, the "Landscapes" of Bricher, the "Magdalena" of Correggio and many others. Every subject glows with beauty under their magic touch. They have issued the following communication: "To EDUCATORS AND CLERGYMEN. We are so firmly convinced that a candid consideration of our theories in regard to the popularizing of art as an educational agency, by the dissemination of our best CHROMOS, will commend itself to the intelligence of the educators of the country, that we are willing to send a few specimens of some of our finest productions, at a very greatly reduced rate, to all the Heads of Colleges, Superintendents of Education, Principals of High Schools and Clergymen in the country, who, after examining them (if they are satisfied with our work), will do us the kindness to bring them to the attention of the pupils and people under their charge, by explaining what is intended to be accomplished by our art. "We ask for no eulogium which is not prompted by a hearty recognition of the beauty of our productions in themselves, and of the importance of refining the taste of the American people in art. "We shall be glad to hear from the educators and ministers of our country; and we pledge ourselves that they shall have no cause to complain of our lack of liberality." Address L.

GOOD WORDS proposed at its establishment to provide a Magazine which would reflect the every day life of a good man, and if public encouragement be the criterion of success, it has realized ita aim beyond the highest expectation that could have been entertained-its circulation during 1867 having averaged ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND copies a month. Its contributors include some of the very first writers in Europe, and the illustrations are from designs by the best artists, and executed in the highest style of Wood Engraving.

D., AUTHOR OF "PLEAS FOR RAGGED SCHOOLS;" "THE GOSPEL IN EZEKIEL," &c., AND PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED. Extract from the Address by the Editor. THERE is as yet but little done in the way of supplying periodical literature for " the day of all days the best" in comparison with what is done for the rest of the week. This journal is intended to answer to its title. Its articles will be brief and varied, and will touch on subjects connected with Christian thought, work and life. Laymen will teach in it without offence, and clergymen will speak without ascending the pulpit. It will be cheerful and healthy in its tone, wise in its teaching, tender in its spirit, and catholic as befits the day. While aiming to bring the Bible into relation to common life, it will also seek to express the devoutest thoughts of worship. Theology and the Story of the Church, Missions and Missionaries, Pictures from the Word, and Biographies of Men and Women, Illustrations of God's Glory in his Works, and God's Care in his Providence, Homilies on Daily Duties, and Tales and Sketches of Character, will all find a place. Human life has many relations, Christian experience many shades, the Truth many sides; it will address itself to each. In filling its pages, we shall try to follow the bee in drawing stores of honey from a great variety of flowers; and considering the sound religious principles and high talent which we have secured in our contributors, we are not without happy expectation of helping to make the Sunday a more pleasant as well as more profitable day to thousands.
