THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.

1Re LeGdIHg LaJefGry Weefty.
OVER THIRTY ONE YEARS have elapsed since
the PosT began its weekly round of blended instruc-
ton and amusement; and never, In all that period,
was its 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 reasons for
believing that it stands upon permanent basis and
| that they will receive the full value Of every dollar
ntrusted to its publishers. In announcing some of
our preparations for the coming year, we may begin
by stating continued connection with Mrs. SOUTH
WORTH, writer who, in Vigor and fertility Of genI-
us, is not surpassed by any, male female in the
Union. Mrs. CAROLINE LEE HENTz, lady whom
1t would be 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 MoRELAND,"b by Emerson Bennett,
author of ''Yola," "Prarie Flower" Bandits of the
Usage, etc And at the opening of the ensuing year
design commencing the publication of the follow
ing Nouvellette-"Miss THUsA's SPINNING WHEEL
by Mrs. Lee Hentz, of Florida, Author of "EOline,"
LINDA" 'Rena," etc. This novelette, we design
following by story entitled ga STRAY PATCH FROM
AUNT HAYNAHs QUILT" by Mrs. FRANCIS D. GAGE,
OF Ohio, widely known as the author of some admit
rably well written and very effective household po-
ems, sketches etc. After this expect tn be able
to commence ''THE L0sT HEREss;" story of How
let Hall; by Mrs. E. D. N. Southworth, author of
''The curse Of Clifton Virginia and Magdalene,"
dtion to these and other Original Tales, involving
large expenditure of money, 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 engrayings, we
present at least two weekly, of an instructive and
the other of humorous character. Agricultural

and Stock Markets, Bank-NOte List, etc. etc., shall
also be duly given.
lS~ Of course, we shall maintain for the Post
the character it has acquired, of being a strictly
moral paper-nOt rideulously squeamsh and strait
laced, but really and truly moral-sueh as may be
taken into the family circle without fear.
N5~ The postage the Post to any part of the
United States, when paid quarterly in advance, is
now only &c cents year. And we trust that the
public generally will show their appreciation of this
commendable reduction of postage, by largely in
ereasng the number of papers taken at the various
ofees-that thus there may be falling off in the
revenue of the POst-Ofice Department This will
insure a continuance of the present reduced rates.
