OVER THIRTY ONE YEARS have elapsed since

ton and amusement and never, in all that period,
was ITS Success marked at the present moment.
Possessing undeniaby the largest circulation, by
many thousands, of any paper Of its class in the
Union its subscribers have the best of reasons for
believing that 1T stands upon permanent basis and
that they will receive the full value of every dollar
nrusted to its publishers. In announcing some of
our preparations for the coming year, may begin
by stating continued connection with Mrs. SOUTH
WORTH, writer who, in vigor and fertility of gem
us Is not surpassed by any, male or female, in the
Union Mrs. CAROLINE LEE IENTZ, lady whom
it would be almost superluOus to praise, in view OF
the general popularity of such tales as "The Mob
Cap" "Eolne," Linda "Rena, etc, also is en-
rolled among our contributors
We are now engaged in the publication of a story
entitled "CLARA MoRELASD, by Emerson Bennett,
author of "Viola" 'Praire Flower, Bandits of the
Usage etc. And at the opening of the ensuing year
design commencing the publication of the follow
ing Nouvellette-"Miss THUsAs SPINNING WHEEL
by Mrs Lee HeRtz, of Florida, Author of "Eoiine,
Linda ''Rcna," etc. This nouvellette we design
following by story entitled "a STRAY PATsB FRoN
AUNT HAyNAHS QUILT.' by Mrs. FRANCIS ID. GAGE,
of Ohio, widely known as the author of admi-
rably well written and very effective household pO-
ems, sketches, etc. After this expect IL be able
to commence 'THE LOST HEIREss;" n story of How
let HALL by Mrs. L. ID. n. SOuthwOrth author of
"Shannondae," 'The Deserted Wife" etc. In adj
dition to these and other Original Tales involving a
large expenditure of money we shall lay before our
readers, heretofore, choice Tales, Sketches, Is
says, Narratives, etc, from the English Magazines
such as have given the Post name for the excel
lencc of its selections.
ENGRAVINGS.-In the way of engravings, we
present at least two weekly of instructive, and
the other Of humorous character Agricultural

Witty and Humorous Sketches and Anecdotes Let
tiers from Europe, Editorials, View of the Produce
and Stock Markets, Bank-Note List etc., etc. shall
also be duly given.
lI5~ OF course we shall maintain for the o S t
the character it has acquired of being strictly
moral paper-not rdiculousy squeamish and strait
| laced, but really and truly mOral-such as may be
taken into the family circle without fear.
zES~ The postage on the Post to any part of the
United States, when paid quarterly in advance, is
now only 26 cents year. And we trust that the
public generally will show their appreciation of this
cOmmendable reduction of postage, by largely in
creasing the number of papers taken at the various
offces-that thus there may be falling off in the
revenue of the Post-0fice Department. This will
insure continuance of the present reduced rates.

vance one copy is sent three years. We continue
the following low terms for Clubs, to be sent in the
