K. 1". Sunday A New 7oy.—A Parts correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune speaks of a new ioy which is making the fortune of its inventor, and is thus described:— His invention consists in a balloon, which appears to he made of a bladder colored red and inflated with hydrogen gas. but 1 am assured they are made of gutta percha or India rubber. The public gar dens present a singular appearance with hundreds of these balloons in the hands of children, floating with a swanlike grace a yard above their heads. At a little dis tance the string hecomps invisible, and they seem to follow the children by a sort of magnetic attraction. Now and then, a negligent child lets the string slip out of his hand, the balloon rises majestically, despite the tears of the child, the screams ! and leaps of the nurse, and the "agitations" of the crowd, until it is lost to sight. -- ~ - Altitude of Spires. —Trinity Church spire, in New York, is 294 feet high ; St. Paul's, 2.'55 ; the Presbyterian Church in 1 Cincinnati, 272; St. Peter's, Philadelphia, 233 ; St. Peter's, Rome, 550 feet" | (jRIMT EXCliiiif AT TIIF.

The Fam ily Gazette says ;—" No parent who cares a button for his children's welfare, can spend a dollar more profitably than-in subscribing for the Playmate." But w c prefer to let the Magazine tell its own < st' ry. Those parents who have any choice about what their children read should subscribe for it. If it does not sustain itself, afteratrial, no recommendation of others would be of any benefit. TERMS.— The Playmate is published monthly at One Dollar a year, in advance. To clubs, 75 cents pel - copy. Letters enclosing money inav be sent at our risk, if directed to WM. GUILD & CO., 156 Washington Street, Boston, Mass.
