ciaed 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 vii.
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 for its palmer and unllustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for sin
gle copy--fve copies for IS 90. This is giving about
| four pages for one cent
II is desirable TO receive orders at once, that we
may know how to regulate our issues
The trade will be served at very liberal rates r.
extremely anxious we to extend the usefulness
of the work widely possible.
