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 unustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for SIM

four pages for one cent
