In the line of critical notices Of new books, de-
ciued improvement has been made upon the plan OF
the Phenix and Budget-and in the way of stories,
an important reform has been adopted, which will
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 unustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for SIN
gle copy-fve copies for IS co. This is giving about
four pages for cent.
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that
may know how to regulate issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious are to extend the usefulness
| of the work widely as possible.
