THE CAsKE -.

There is issued from this Office fPhiladel-
phia Saturday Evening POST monthly pub
LEGATION, entitled THE EASKET, or Flo,oers
Of Literature, wit and Sentiment, containing,
each number 50 octave pages. printed well,
on small handsome type, upon the finest pa
low price of TWO DOLLARS per annum. !.
The Casket is collection from the choicest
pieces of the Saturday Evening Post, made
with a reference to the difference which should
exist in the materials of a weekly paper, and
those Of a monthly publication, the former of
course enriched with essays poetry, anecdotes,
and those set off by a recital Of the occurrences
Of the week. The latter can receive little
value from a mere detail of events, many Of
which would cease to be interesting before
they were recorded.
The vast quantity of matter crowded, by
small type, and careful arrangement into the
columns of every number of the Saturday
Evening Post, will in the course Of month.
furnish the most ample materials from which
to form an interesting periodical work such as
the Casket has been considered by its partial
friends, and such as we intend, shalt be-
Notwithstanding the fact, that the Casket is
but collection from the columns Of Saturday
day Eve. Post, we confidently predict, and in
deed we are sanctioned in the experience we
already have, that its most numerous patrons
will be found among the subscribers to our
weekly paper.--A large number ofthose who
take the" Post" depend upon that paper for
the news of the weck-it is therefore read with
avidity by almost every member of the fam
ily where it is received. and this general use
frequently Injuries its appearance SO much as
almost to render it unfit for the file, and for
binding. The numbers too, by this general
use, are not unfrequently lost, mutilated or
entirely destroyed, and the file thus bro
ken.-The Casket is calculated to prevent this
Inconvenience, and to furnish, at very cheap
price, all the useful matter for which the week
" paper would be desirable when bound
In thus giving permanent form and select
association to the choice pieces Of our weekly
contributors, it is confdetly anticipated that
new and successful Inducements win be held
out for the exercise of superior talent, and
unusual care in our literary Department.
