PHILADELPHIA CASKET.
UNPARALLELED srrccrs,

UNPARALLELED SUCCESS
PROSPECTUS OF A NEW VOLUME.
The great in crease in the subscription list of the
Casket since the first of the year. warrants the
most extensive Improvements on the first of July
next at which time new volume will be COM
meneed with increased vigor. Nothing need be
said ofthe firm basis on which the Casket
stands it being already the oldestmagazine in the
country. %
Observation-Disclosures.
The Casket is printed with clear and silyery
type upon the finest white paper. The illus
trations are NOT SURPASSED BY THOSE OF an Pa
RIoDICaL at home or abroad; and beside the mon
'hly steel engravings quarterly plate Of colored
fashions has lately been added The STYLE of
these embellishments is unequalled, and they Of
always accompanied with an apt SKETCH. N
wood cuts disgrace the work; whatever aopears
n the Casket is of the first order of the art.
LITERARY CHARACTER
The literary character of the Casket is well
snown. 1t is wholly original, of the highas
rider, and sustained by WRITER'S OE THEt
RSTRANk. Essays, Tales Sketches, and
travels, compose its prominent prose articles;
while the poetry is equalled by that ofno other
magazine Of like character. The variety for
which the Casket is celebrated, shall suffer no
diminution; but on the contrary, every exertion
shall be made TO increase its interest
SEVERAL ROMANCES OFTHE REVoL.
UTION have already appeared. and others shall
follow IN the course of the volume, presenting,
when finished, complete picture oftha manners
and historical account Of the great battles at
that time. Thus, the Casket, instead Of being
filed with siekly sentimentatles, aims al true
delineatiOn Of human nature in every variety of
passion.
TIME OF PUBLICATION
SThe Casket is published on the first ofE,he
month in every quarter of the Union. The
most distant subscribers consequently receive
It on that day, as well as those who reside in
Philadelphia. In all the principal cities agents
ave heen established, by which means subcri.
ers can obtain their copies free ofpostage
FASHIONS
The fashions ares published in the Casket
quarterly, or as oiten!as any really new STYLES
arrive from Paris The engrayines are colored.
and executed from original design. No old,

may be tested by comparing them with the la

From this tabular statement il appears that while
the expenditures of the Department have been steadi-
y advancing, with few exceptions, its revenues have
been very fuctuating, varying from mere nominal
increase to an advance of 20 per cent. in a single
year
The extension of the mail service and the advance
in the population and business of the country the
of the ordinary increase of the revenue But
temporary and extraordinary circumstances often
counteract those permanent of increase,
far to prevent any material advance. This has
been the the past year during which combina
ton of causes have operated to impair the revenue of
the Department to nearly the extent of the average
annual increase.
But the present uniavorabe condition of the inan-
ces of the Department is not wholly to be attributed
TO the decline of the revenue the past year is in
part the result of too sudden and large extension of
the service during the year 1887, 1888, and 1889
casoned by the extraordinary surplus which accrued
in 1886 and 1887 This surplus on tho Both june

The Postmaster General, in his annual report of
that year recommended a reduction of the rates Of
postage Congress did not sanction that measure;
but by the of the I'd July, 1886 established about
seven hundred post routes, which il becomes the
duty of the Department to put into operation. The
action this subject by Congress was considered as
indicating its desire that the surplus which had
ed, and which might accrue, should be expended in
providing additional mail accommodations. The
causes which had produced the above surplus the

No passing bell doth toll -
Yet an immortal soul
Ispassing now.
STRANGER however great,
With lowIy reverence bow;
There's is one in that poor shed
One by that paltry bed
Greater than thou.
Beneath that beggars roof
Lol Death doth keep his state;
Enter-no crowds attend
Enter-no guards defend
This palace gate
That pavement damp and cold
No smiling courtiers tread
One silent woman stands
Lifting with meagre hands
A dying head
No mingling voices sound
An infant wall alone;
A sob suppress d-again
That short deep gasp, and then
The parting groan.
Oil change-Ohl wondrous change
Burst are the prison bars
This moment here, so low,
So agonized, and now
Beyond the stars.
Oh change-stupendou change!
There lies the soulless clod.
The Sun eternal breaks
The new Immortal wakes
Wakes with his God
