ALMOST EVERY MAIL from far and near brings to us some new evidence of the great favor and growing popularity of this beautiful instrument, and abundant testimonials are constantly reaching us, proving conclusively that no other Reed Instrument contains so many excellencies as the PERFECT MELODEON with Base Damper and Harmonic Attachment. The Harmonic Attachment is the most valuable of modern improvements-by it the power of the Instrument is doubled without increasing its size or the No. of Reeds Our newly invented HARMONIC ORGAN for Churches, Concert and Lecture Rooms has greater capacity and power than any other instrument made in the coun try, considering the price. It is far more simple and less liable to get out of orde than other Reed rgans. It contains only Laif as many reeds as other instruments of the same power, and consequently not half the expense to keep in tune. It has a fine powerful PEDAL BASE with REE DS disconnected with the other part of the instrument. Another entire new feature in the Melodeon enterprise is the PATENT HARP or Piano Attachme nt to the Melodeon. This is rrecisely what its name indicates, a combination of the Melodeon and Pisto All Instrum nts warranted and sent to any part of the country at our risk. FOR IMPORTANT TEXT-BOOKS.

Sometimes we feel as if we were studying a treatise on the exact sciences; at others, it strikes the ear like an epic poem. Now it reads like history, and now it sounds like prophecy. It will find readers in whatever language it may be published."-Christian Examiner.

CXCII,—JULY, 1861. The North American Review has now attained its 191st number, or 92d volume; having been published without intermission for nearly fifty years. It is far the oldest American periodical devoted to general literature and science; and its reputation has been steadily maintained, both in this country and in Europe, as the leading journal of the United States in its appropriate department. Among its editors and contributors are found most of our eminent men of letters, of all parties and sects, and from all portions of the country. It has always maintained a distinctive American character; preserving neutrality upon all domestic questions between various religious sects and political parties, but aiming to expound and defend the general doctrines o Christianity, and the general principles of our republican institutions. It articles are frequently republished and refered to in England, and even translated into the Continental languages, as authoritative expositions of American opinion. Republican yet conservative in their tone, they have, fois believed, contributed essentially towards the formation and guidance this opinion. The Review is published on the 1st of Jan., April, July, and Oct., in numbers of nearly 300 pages each. A new volume commenced with the July No. Terms $5,00 per annum.

Lowe's Patent Printing Press. The invention of this press enables every man to have a printing office of his own, and print his own Cards, Billheads, Labels, Circulars, &c.; and it is decidedly the best letter-copying press invented. With each press, if desired, we sell type, ink, and other fixtures, and give printed instructions for working the press, setting type, &c., so that any person, of common intellect, can execute all kinds of printing with ease. Printing in Gold and Silver can be done upon this press without trouble, and at about the same expense as common printing. The press is durable, occupies little room, and the largest size can be easily managed by a boy ten years old. We can refer to many persons who have earned a comfortable living by working on these presses. The presses are not excelled by any press in the world. A small press may be exchanged for a larger one by paying the difference. Orders must be accompanied by cash, or the money to be collected on delivery by the express. We have but one price, and sell for cash only. To those wishing further information in regard to the press, we will send, on application, a Circular, containing a description of it, a list of the articles sent with each office, and letters from some of those who are now using these printing presses.
