| At the conclusion of the first hafyear of the

make some acknowledgment of his sense of the ia
vorable reception accorded to it by the public. Its
success has certainly been unprecedented and
while it may be pardonable to ascrbe this in part to
the merits of the work, it must not be denied that
public goodwill and kindness have been abundant
| ly demonstrated. The press, in all parts Of the
country, has given its voice literally and heartily
in favor Of the asprant.
To FLAG after this, would be dishonorable indeed
1t is the hope of the publisher that the courage and
enterprise which belong to will be found
ther to have stimulated than slackened bis exer-

country, he is determined to make it available to
the Union Magazine in the various departments
