THE GUARDIAN enters upon its XIVth volume It has a sufficient history to establish its character, and to show its fruits. In its principles, purposes and general spirit, we have no changes to propose The True, the Beautiful, and the Good are unchangeable--error and sin are always the same. It will remain under the editorial management of its founder, Rev. H. HARBAUGH, D. D, whose name of itself the publishers regard as the most satisfactory guarantee of the high tone and general interest which characterize the family magazine. From and after January the 1st, 1863, THE GUARDIAN will be published by M. Kieffer & Co., Chambersburg, Pa. Though comparing well in its present form with any publication of the kind, improvements are always possible. The new Publishers propose a general renewal of its mechanical and typographical appearance. The January number will be embellished with a beautiful steel Engraving, and the new volume appear with a handsome ornamental cover title. Though paper has advanced one hundred per cent., they promise to use a superior quality in the new Volume; and shall do all in their power, in co operating with the Editor, in rendering THE GUARDIAN acceptable to its subscribers. 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 counsels to them in an earnest though free and cheerful way. It will solemnly seek to warn them against the wrong, and affectionately lure them to the right. The Editor will endeavor to make its contents true, pure, fresh, and bealthy as the morning of life. It will particularly urge self-culture and early piety as of the highest importance, and cultivate the home feeling as a sacred element in social purtiy and peace. It will seek to move in the element of its motto:"Life-Light-Love." THE GUARDIAN has no denominational or party bias. 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. 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.

Discontinuances.-As all subscriptions are commenced with the beginning of the Volume, so discontinuances can take place only with the close.

If the notice is received after one or more numbers of a new volume have been sent, the subscriber will be charged for the full year thus commenced. ADDRESS M. KIEFFER & CO., Publishers, Chambersburg, Pa. 7. PREPARATION FOR THE LORD'S SUPPER. By the Editor. 248 Subscribers to "THE GUARDIAN," who have not paid their subscription for the current year, will find their bills enclosed in the present number. As the subscription price is comparatively small, and our terms call for payment in advance, we trust that none will overlook their account, but promptly remit to us the amount of their bills. It will be borne in mind also, that we do not take a subscription for less than a year. Were we to do so a volume in each case would be broken, and thus one object of the publication would be defeated, that of furnishing a full and interesting volume at the end of the year, for the library. We shall be pleased also to find our friends making efforts to increase our subscription list. We can still furnish copies from the commencement of the year, so that the volume will be complete. None need, therefore, to hesitate to subscribe, even during the progress of the year. If properly encouraged, we hope, at the commencement of another year, to make stil! further improvements, so that; "The Guardian" shall be in appearance, as well as in matter, all that its friends can desire it to be.
