his Prospe ctns for the yeaI-lS59-that all
the old popular and eminent writer's Of the LED
GER staff have been retained, and new ones added.

the Ladies' Mount Vernon Association the sum OF
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

GER, need only state the simple fact, that its
circulation is larger tn an that of any other TEN
literary papers in the country. Its great success
is owing to the facts that its proprietor the
in getting up the BEST FAMILY P4iPER-n
paper of high moral tone. The exalted reputation
of its contributors. the practical and invariably
pure and healthy character of all it's rtices, tho
care which is taken that not even offensive
word shall appear in its columns, and the superiorf
ty of its tales and sketches, have gained for tho
NEW YORK LEDGER position that no literary
paper has ever before reached. We feel, and al
ways have felt, since the LEDGER attained its
immense circulation, that heavy responsibility
rests upon US, and have endeavored to discharge
that responsibility conscientiously, feeling conf
dent that ultimately should receive the thanks
| of thousands and lens of thousands of families.
