the Publisher to make great additions to the
literary merits of the work

Sparrow Grass, both old contributors to the
Klckerbocker. We are pleased to be able to
announce that they will both write for our

contributed new and really original Story,
which will appear in every number: and Mr..
kimball viii furnish Sketch or Story as Oft
en- as his other duties willpermit.
We have now two contributors not excalled
by any writers in the country, namely, Rev. L.
". Shelton and Charles G. Leland. The firyr
known IS our "Up-River Correspondent" has
written q series of Letters q part Of which have
been issued and extensively sold in beautiful
illustrated volume, and the latter is now writ

which delight all who read them. These will
be continued regularly, and Mr. Shelton will

We have also several highly accomplished
Lady Contri butors, whose fayors viii grace our
pages regularly, and whose names We would
be glad 10 publish, if We were permitted to

made him az fat in his department, we shall
be able to present monthly literary treat so
varied that no refined taste can fail to he graft

Chicago Tribune for 1867.

FTSHE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is bold, earn
L est and straightforward Republican paper,
devoted othe cause Of Freedom, Progress. and
Reform. Believing that Liberty, and not
Bondage, is the saving principle offbe Repub-
lie, it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery. 1t contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote Of the Fathers Of the Republic in the Con-
gress of1787, that Slavery or involuntary SER
vitude shall never exist in territory now free"
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall bedree,
that Slavery shall be excluded ftom ali Ma
tional Territory, and that the influence Of the
General Government shall be exercised q Tx
side of Freedom.

Well, Miss, wonder where you live,

Perhaps an only one;
Perhaps your friends were not aware

With such a stake TO win;

Or ruin fine young men.
