ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan Of
the "Phenix and Budgeti-and in the way of stories
an important reform has been adopted, which vii.
abolish the plan OF giving long novels continued pro-
vokingy, from number to number.

may not feel willing to pay the expensive prices
Of monthly magazines the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unilustraed predecessor
The price viii therefore be 81 so per year for sin
gle copyive copies for So 90. This is giving about
four pages for cent

may know how to regulate our issues
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious we are to extend the usefulness
Of the work as widely as possible.
