Timothy Shay Arthur
Timothy Shay Arthur (June 6, 1809 – March 6, 1885) — known as T. S. Arthur — was a popular 19th-century American author. He is famously known for his temperance novel ''Ten Nights in a Bar-Room and What I Saw There'' (1854), which helped demonize alcohol in the eyes of the American public. His stories, written with compassion and sensitivity, articulated and spread values and ideas that were associated with “respectable middle class“ life in America. He also believed greatly in the transformative and restorative power of love as is shown in one of his stories, "An Angel in Disguise". He was also the author of dozens of stories for ''Godey's Lady's Book'', the most popular American monthly magazine in the antebellum era, and he published and edited his own ''Arthur's Home Magazine'', a periodical in the ''Godey's'' model, for many years. Virtually forgotten now, Arthur did much to articulate and disseminate the values, beliefs, and habits that defined respectable, deco ...

''Arthur's Home Magazine'' (1852 – ''c.'' 1898) or ''Ladies' Home Magazine'' was an American periodical published in Philadelphia by Timothy Shay Arthur. Editors Arthur and Virginia Francis Townsend selected writing and illustrations intended to appeal to female readers. Among the contributors were Mary Tyler Peabody Mann, Rosella Rice, and Kate Sutherland.
