an important reform has been adopted, which viii.
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
vokingly, from number TO number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such
may not feel willing TO pay the more expensive prices
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged fer its palmer and unillustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be II so per year for sin

four pages for cent
