SOME EXTRACTS FROM OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
"THE books for our Ohio club arrived this morning by way of Cleveland! and, although it was Monday, and my 'girl' busy with the week's washing, and the house in confusion, I took time to read 'Mustard to Mix,' and found others had felt much as I happened to feel this morning. But the story restored my good humor; and so, you see, the 'Book' has done some good already—at least, my husband thinks so.
"Many thanks for the pleasant story accompanying your letter! I intend sending it to an old bachelor up town, who made remarks similar to those of the young collegian, when I solicited him to subscribe for his sister.
"With earnest wishes for your happiness and prosperity,
"M. C. P."
"THE 'Lady's Book' is fast superseding all other periodicals of the kind in this section. The general impression is that it is the best magazine of the kind published.
"J. R. S., Ala."
TO OUR FRIEND GODEY.
BY MRS. ADELINE J. WILLIAMS.
COME, ladies all, and help me thank
Our best of friends, so kind and frank;
For in oblivion's stream we'd sank
But for our good friend Godey.
He makes us his especial care;
