PROSPECTUS

FOR 1859.

THE GUARDIAN:

A MONTHLY MAGAZINE, DEVOTED TO THE SOCIAL, LITERARY AND RELIGIOUS INTERESTS OF YOUNG MEN AND LADIES.

EDITED BY REV. H. HARBAUGH.

THE GUARDIAN began its TENTH VOLUME on the First of January. 1859. It has lived sufficiently long to reveal its true character, and to be known by its fruits. The steady encouragement which it has received from its constant friends, is proof enough that it has a mission to fulfil, and that the spirit in which it labors meets with approval. Cheered by these facts we offer a new volume of the Guardian to the favor of its friends. This Magazine will be, as heretofore, devoted to the highest interests of the young, at the most solemn and interesting period of their life. It will offer its friendly coun sels to them in an earnest though free and cheerful way. It will solemnly seek to warn them against the wrong, and affectionately allure them to the right. The Editor will endeavar to make its contents true, pure, fresh. and healthy as the morning of life. It will particularly urge self-culture and early piety as of the highest importance. It will seek to move in the element of its motto: Life-Light-Love."

The Guardian has no denominational or party bias. It interferes not with controversies either in Church or State. It is its ambition to take the quiet way of peace and love. It would turn the attention of its readers to that first and greatest of duties, the cultivation of the heart, mind, social feelings and pious affections. It will have its reward if it can be the means of making Hearts better, Homes happier, and Heaven surer. The evidence that it has in a degree done this, which the experience of years has furnished, is more precious to us than gain or gold. Cheerfully, hopefully, and believingly we look into the future as we take our pilgrim-staff in hand to travel another year.

The Guardian contains thirty-two pages monthly, making a handsome volume of three hundred and eighty-four pages at the end of the year.

NOW IS THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE.

Pastors who receive this Prospectus are requested to hand it to some active member of the church, who will procure subscribers for The Guardian. If ten subscribers are obtained, we will send one copy to the person obtaining them and one to the pastor, gratis.

We respectfully ask all Young Men and Ladies to aid us in increasing our circulation. It will be an easy thing for them to raise a club among their companions.

Postmasters are requested to act as our agents, to whom we will allow the usual per centage. Specimen numbers sent when requested.

The Editor and Publishers are determined to do everything in their power, still further to deserve the encouragement of the Christian public, and to make The Guar dian acceptable and profitable to its readers.

The Guardian will be printed with new and clear type, and on heavy white paper. The January number will be embellished with a fine steel engraving.
