LEGATION, entitled THE CASKET, or FJOiDeFs
Of Literntsre, WIT and Sentiment, containing,

on small handsome type, upon the finest pa

low price of TWO DOLLARS per anrum.-
The Caslket Is collection from the choicest
pieces of the Saturday Evening Post, made
with preference to the difference which should
exist in the materials Of a weekly paper, and
those of monthly publication, the former Of
course enriched with essays,p poetry anecdotes,
and those set of by a recital of the occurrences
of the gveek. The latter can receive little
value from 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 tire 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, shall De-
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 VINO
take the" Post, depend upon that paper for
the news of the week-it is therefore read with
ayidity by almost every member of the fam
lily where it is received, and this general use
frequently Injuries its appearance so much as
Utmost to render it unfit for the file, and for
binding. The numbers too, by this general
use, are not unfrequentlys lost, mutilated or
entirely destroyed, and the file thus bro
ken.-The Casket is calculated to prevent this
Inconvenience, and to furnish, at a very cheap
price, all the useful matter for which the week.
" paper would be desirable when bound
In thus giving a 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.-In
addition to this recommendation of neatness
in the general apprenticeship particular, at
tention to the typographical execution, it is
our intention to embelish each number of. the
s'Casket' with handsome Engraving from
the hands of some of the most distinguished
artists of the Countrywide number for Au-
gust (which is Just published, contains like
ness of the late venerable THOMAS JET
PERSON, Esq. with Biographical notice
of his public life. The next number, win be
issued on the first Of September, will contain
Biography and Portrait Of the late President
ADAMS.
With these claims to patronage, the 'tCask
ct" will, as has been previously mentioned, be
afforded to those who subscribe for that paper
exclusively, the low price of 81 per year,
subscription, which it is confidently believed,
is much lower than that for any other public
alton Of similar character in this country
but to the subscribers of $ The Saturday Eve
mig Post" "The Casket'' will be furnished
for 81 so.
Post-masters and publishers Of papers WHO
will interest themselves to obtain subscribers,
shall be entitled to every sixth copy gratis
