The Lazar commends itself to every member of | the householi—to the children, by droll and pretty pictures, to the young ladies by its fashion | plates in endless variety, to the provident matron | by ita patterns tor the children s clothes, to pa- | terfamilias by its tasteful dezigus for embroider- | ed slippers and luxurious dressing-gowns. But | the reading-matter of the Bazar is uniformly ot | great excellence. The paper has acquired a | wide popularity for the fireside enjoyment it af- | fords —N. VY. Lvening Post.
