THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.
The Leodino Liternru KceIZ,

| The Leading Literary Weekly.
OVER THIRTY ONE YEARS have elapsed sine,
the PosT began its weekly round of blended nstruc
hon and amusement and never, in all that period
| was Its success marked as at the present moment
Possessing undeniably the largest circulation, by
many thousands, of any paper of its class in the
Union, its subscribers have the best of fol
belevlng that it stands upon permanent basis, and
that they will receive the full value of every dollar
Entrusted to its publishers. In announcing Of
our preparations for the coming year, we may begin
by stating our continued connection with Mrs SOUTH
WORTH, writer who in vigOr and fertility Of gent
us, is not surpassed by any, male female, in the
Union Mrs. CAROLINE LEE HENTz, lady whom
1t would DC almost superhuous to praise, in view of
the general popularity of such tales as "The Mob
Cap, "EOline," "Linda" "Rena, etc, also is en-
rolled among contributors.
We are now engaged in the publication of story
entitled CLARA MORELASD,by Emerson Bennett,
author of "Viola HPrairie Flower" Bandits of the
Usage, etc And at the opening of the ensuing year
we design commencing the publication of the follow
ing NOuvellette-"Miss THUsA'S SPINNING WHEEL"
by Mrs. Lee Hentz, of Florida, Author Of "Eepe,
Linda "Rena," etc. This NOVELETTE, design
following by a story entitled "a STRAY PATCH From
AUNT HANNAHs QUILT" by Mrs. FRANCIS ID. GAGE,
of Ohio, widely known as the author of some admit
rably well written and very effective household pO
ems sketches etc. After this we expect ta be able
to commence "THE LOST HEREss;" a story of How
let Hall; by Mrs E. d. n. Southworth, author of
"Shannondale," "The Deserted Wife," etc. In ad-
dtion to these and other Original Tales, involving
large expenditure of money, we shall lay before our
readers, as heretofore, choice Tales Sketches, Es-
says, Narratives, etc. from the English Magazines
such as have given the Post name for the excel
lence of its selections.
ENGRAVINGS.-In the way of engravings, we
present at least two weekly of an instructive and
the other of humorous character. Agricultural
Articles, Miscellaneous Matter, General News,
- Il Arna lat
ters from Europe, Editorials, View of the Produce
and Stock Markets, BankNOte List, ETC., ETC., shall
also be duly given.
Mfs- OF course we shall maintain for the Post
the character it has acquired, of being strictly
moral paper-not rdiculousy squeamish and strait
laced, but really and truly moral-sueh as may be
taken into the family circle without fear.
re- The postage 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
creasng the number of papers taken at the various
Offces-that thus there may be no falling off in the
revenue Of the POst-Ofice Department. This will
insure continuance of the present reduced rates.
