Juvenile Wrr. A cotemporary tells a story
of a boy in one of the schools of a neighbor
ing town, who is an inveterate rhymster, and
who langhed one morning, during prayers, at
the sight of a rat. Being asked why he laughed
he replied :
"I saw a rat upon the stairs.
Coming up to hear your prayers."
Being told that ho must immediately make
another rhyme or be severely flogged,he quick
ly answered :
"Here I stand before Miss Blodgett :
She's going to strike and I shall dodge it ;"
and took bis seat, the whole school being in a
roar of laughter.

The Great Library Offer. Agents Getting Rich !
The union of EMERSON'S MAGAZINE and
PUTNAM'S MONTHLY has given to the consoli
dated work a circulation" second to but one similar
publication in the country, and has secured for it
a combination of literary and artistic talent prob
ably unrivalled by any other magazine in the
world. During the first month, the sale in the trade
and demand from subscribers exceeded 90,000 co
pies, and the numbers already issued of the con
solidated work are universally conceded to have
surpassed, in the richnessof their literary contents,
and the beauty and profuscness of their pictorial
illustrations, any magazine ever before issued from
the American press. Encouraged by theseeviden
ccs of favor, the publishers have determined to
commence the new volume in January with still
additional attractions, and to offer such induce
ments to subscribers as cannot fail to place it, in
circulation, at the head of American magazines.
With this view they now announce the following
splendid programme. They have purchased that
superb and costly steel-plate engraving,
"THE LAST SUITER,"
and will present a copy of it to every three-dollar
subscriber for the year 158. It was engraved at
a cost of over 56,000, by the late celebrated A. L.
Dick, from the original of Raphael Morghen. after
Leonardo Da Vinci, and is the largest steel-plate
engraving ever executed in this country, being
three times the size of theordinary 3 engravings.
The first impressions of this engraving are held
at 510, and it was the intention of the artist that
none of the engravings should ever be offered for
a less sum than $5, being richly worth that amount.
Thus every three-dollar subscriber will receive
the Magazine one year cheap at S3 and this
splendid engraving, richly worth 55 ; thus get
ting for S3 the value of Eight dollars.
We shall commence striking off the engravings
immediately, yet it can hardly be expected that
impressions of so large a plate can be taken as fast
as they will be called for by subscribers. We shall,
therefore, furnish them in the order in which sub
scriptions are received Those who desire to ob
tain their engravings early, and from the first im
pressions, should send in their subscriptions with
out delay The engraving can be sent on rollers,
by mail, or in any other manner, as subscribers
shall order.
$30,000 IN WORKS OF ART.
In addition to the superb engraving of ,;THE
LAST SUPPER," which will be presented so eve
ry three-dollar subscriber for 1H08. the publishers
have completed arrangemente for the distribution,
on the 25th day of December, 1858, of a series of
splendid works of art. consisting of one hundred
rich and rare Old Paintings, valued at from 5100
to 51,000 each. Also, 2,000 magnificentStcel-pIate
Engravings, worth from S3 to 55 each, and 1,000
choice Holiday Books, worth from SI to 55 each,
making, in all, over THREE THOUSAND GIFTS,
w. rth TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Indole 53 to the publishers and you will com
mence receiving the Magazine by return mail.
You will also receive with the first copy a num
bered subscription receipt entitling you to the En
graving of "THE LAST SUPPER," and a chance
to draw one of these uThree Thousand Prizes."
RRASONS WHY YOU SHOl'LO SRBSCR1BE FOR
EMERSON'S MAGAZINE FOR 1858.
First : Because its literary contents will, during
the year, embrace contributions from over om
hundred different writers and thinkers, num
bering among them the most distinguished of A
lnerioan authors.
Second : Because itseditorialdcpartments, '-Our
Studio," "OurWindow," and '-Our Olio," will each
be conducted by an able cdisor and it will sur
pass, in the variety and richness of its editorial
contents, any other magazine.
Third: Because it will contain,during the year,
nearly six thousand original pictorial illustrations
from designs by the first American artists.
Fourth : Because for the sum of S3 you will re
ceive this splendid monthly, more richly worth
that sum than any other magazine, and the superb
engraving of '-The Last Supper," worth 55.
Fifth: Becauso you will very likely draw ono
of the three thousand prizes to be distributed on
the 25th day of December, 1858 perhaps one
that is worth One Thousand Dollars.
Notwithstanding that these extraordinary in
ducements can hardly fail to accomplish the ob
jects of the publishers without further efforts, yet
they have determined to continue through the year
THE GREAT LIBRARY OFFER.
To.any person who will get up a club of twenty
four subscribers, cither at one or more post-offices,
we will present a splendid Library, consisting of
over Forty Large Bound Volumes, embracing the
