cded improvement has been made upon the plan of
the " Phenix and Budget"-and in the way Of storcs,
an important reform has been adopted, which VIII
abolish the plan Of giving long novels continued, pro-
vokingy, from number TO number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such
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 unllutrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for sin
gle copy-fve copies for SIS co. This is giving about
four pages for cent
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that we
may know how to regulate issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates

Of the work as widely as possible.
