A GREAT REVOLUTION has been created in
the book-pubisEing business by the proprietors of
the New World, who were the frst to introduce the
system of printing cheap editions of all popular
works, to bring within the means Of every IA
mily in the country works which, in any other form
would cost from 81 TO IS each, for the most trifing
sums. To this enterprise we have given the cx-
pressive designation of BOOKS FOR THE PEG
PIE, which truly expresses the character and de-
sign Of our publications. These consist of BOgra-
phic, Romantic, Scientific and Standard Works, by
the most popular and approved authors of this
try and Europe-such as Bulwer, James, Dickens,
Mrs. Ellis, Miss Strickland. etc. The plan embra-
ces also the best and most popular ORIGINAL
NOVELS, by American authors; thus fostering
aud encouraging the native talent of the country,
and giving copy right works at I21 to IS cts each,
which have never before been sold at less than ST.
to &c. These Extras are issued as OFTEN as twice,
and sometimes four times, in each and every month,
and are sent to ali parts of the United States, at
simple newspaper postage.
Subscribers remitting ST., or over, in current mo-
ney, postage paid, will receive all the Extras as
fast as issued The best way is to remit SIS for the
New World and Extras, which viii pay for one
year of the former and 80 numbers of the latter,
provided there be no discount on the money.
! Every Postmaster in the Union, or other person,
acting as agent tor the Extra New World, and re-
hitting 81, or over, free of postage, for each and
every work. shall receive gratis copy of every such
work.
In this way they have il il their power to obtain
/ all our Books FOR THE PEOPLE, at the cost Of q
little personal exertion only.
Every Bookseller in the Union would End it pro.
ftabIe to keep supplies of our cheap works for sale
the demand for which, already large, is constantly
| increasing. Many hundreds Of Booksellers are a
present engaged in the newspaper book business
and by increased sales, are making moro money
than in the old way.
U3 Remember, these Extras are sent by mail
newspaper postage, and thus new work is in thu
hands Of its agents and subscribers in the farthes
corner Of the country, WITHIN THIRTY DAYS AFTEI
IT'S PUBLICATION IN LONDON, when in book form
would not reach them in months
TERMS-The Extras are issued in single, dou
bic, and treble numbers, at 124 to IS GEMS each, o.
So to SIG per hundred, to agents. No work, what
ever its cost in London, is charged higher than q
cents il the New World edition.

her child. An Irishman with his family some time
since took up his residence in Florence in that

from any neghbor.
Last summer the man was killed by the falling Of
tree, leaving wife and three small children. Left
thus alone, the poor woman managed 10 sustain her.

The parties came into this State, and the woman
made repeated applications to our Court Tor aimony'

the husband married again. and there are children by
the second marriage The wife still persisted in her
applications to the Court, and last Saturday night,
while juror had necessarily left the Courthouse
