ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan Of

an important reform has been adopted, which wi
abolish the plan Of giving long novels continued pro
yokingly, from number to number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such as

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 50 per year for sin.

four pages for one cent.

may know how to regulate our issues.
