I'HE fourth volume of the Weekly Mirror, in its
Il present form, commenced on the 18th April,
1910 fhe reduction OF the subs ;ription price
from Three Dollars to Two marks an era in the
history of this popular and widely circulated Jour
nal-a urnal which, though il hath seen many
changes during the twenty years of its existence,
has obtained q high and permanent place in the
annals of merican Literature. 1t is peculiarly
gratifying to the publisher to be able to STATE that
scarcely Il day now passes that does not add to its
SUBSCRIPTION list, nor "A mai! arrive that does not
bring some favorable mention of it by contempo-
rary journals.
The new and attractive feature of the present
volume Is the publication of an original Novel of
great interest, written expressly for the Mirror,
entitled
MARY ECKAR A CHOOL FOR YOUNG
WIDOWS"
This beautiful story increases in interest as it pro-
crosses, and no one, whose taste has not been per-
verified 10y high spiccd fctions of the French school.
can read a single chapter without IA desire for the
whole of it. Calculating on the intrinsic excel
lence OF the work to make its own popularity,
without the aid of putting, we have laid aside a
few hundred complete sets of the present volume,
containing all tn chapters as far as published,
and for which there it now a daily demand.
III we could only make up our minds and our
mouths to blow our own trumpet, we might easily
make noise enough about The School for Young
widows to create an excitement in tie public
mind, and arouse the curious in literary matters,
to a loud call for the anonymous author. But VIC
much prefer to leave our readers to find out them
selves, what is good without prompting. TO pre-
lace every thing which appears in our columns
with a puff, would be quite az distasteful to our
selves, as insulting to the Judgment of the reader.
No man would thank bis cook TO stand behind his
char while eating. and comment upon each dish
upon the table. As good wine needs no BUSH and
good deeds no praise, so good books and good din
