Acoustic Auricles, Cornets, Soniferons, Sound Magnifiers, AND OVER SIXTY VARIETIES OF EAR TRUMPETS, AT PUGH MADEIRA'S EAR INSTRUMENT DEPOT, the INTERESTING TO THE DEAF.-For the benefit of our readers who may be afflicted with a partial loss of hearing, we publish the following extract from pen of an eminent divine of our city. Speaking of the loss of sight and hearing, the two most important senses, he says: "When men find their eyesight failing, they then resort at once to the optician and supply themselves with artificial helps to vision-they are not willing to grope their way in darkness, when science supplies them with the means of seeing clearly. Now it seems strange indeed to us, that this promptitude to remedy the defects of failing vision is not witnessed when the ear is implicated and man's hearing is impaired ! Deaf men, it is generally observed, are more sad than blind men; and yet, the deaf man can remedy his defect, in nine cases out of ten, with scarcely more cost, and certainly not more discomfort, than the feeble-sighted. Why, then, does he sit in silence, when he would not sit in darkness? We asked this question to-day while looking over the various ear instruments provided by modern science to assist the hearing, and read in the book of Mr. Pugh Madeira, (No. 115 South Tenth street,) the numerous testimonials voluntarily recorded there, of those who bore grateful testimony, from their own experience, that science had succeeded in her task, and supplied the muffled ear with an instrument that opens its obstructed passages to the incomings of sweet sounds and articulate enunciations. Let all affected with deafness try the instruments thus offered them, and we feel confident that one of the many scientific instrumen in the possession of Mr. Madeira will afford relief. "GOOD WORDS ARE WORTH MUCH AND COST LITTLE."-Herbert. GOOD WORDS, AN ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY MAGAZINE, EDITED BY NORMAN MACLEOD, D. D., One of Queen Victoria's Chaplains. PRICE FOUR DOLLARS PER YEAR. ADVERTISEMENT FOR 1865. GOOD WORDS proposed at its establishment to provide a Magazine which would reflect the every day life of a good inan, and if public encouragement be the criterion of success, it has realized its aim beyond the highest expectation that could have been entertained-its circulation during 1864 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. The following are some of the Authors whose writings have helped to raise GOOD WORDS to its present position, and who still write for it: REV. E. H. PLUMPTRE, Professor A. A. PROCTOR, JEAN INGELOW, DORA GREENWELL, PROFESSOR W. F. GESS, HENRY D. ROGERS, LL. D., F. R. S., etc. PROFESSOR AUBERLIN, Miss MULOCH, Author of "John HENRY ALFORD, D. D., Dean of CANON STANLEY, D. D., Subscriptions received by all Booksellers and News Agents in the United States, and by WILLMER & ROGERS, 47 Nassau Street, N. Y., NEW MAGAZINE EDITED BY DR. GUTHRIE. ON THE FIRST OF OCTOBER 1864 WAS COMMENCED THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE. EDITED BY THOMAS GUTHRIE, D. 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. THOMAS GUTHRIE. The demand for the October, November, December and January numbers of the Sunday Magazine has already exceeded 110,000 of each. Subscription $ per year.
