cided Improvement has been made upon the plan Of
the "Phenx and Budget"-and in the way of stnrr,
an important reform has been adopted, which v
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
yokngiy, from number TO number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such 81
may not feel willing to pay the more expensive price,
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
| to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unilustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for sim
gle coPy-fye copies for So 90. This is giving about
four pages for cent!
