The Paper that Never Suspends.
A Family Weekly-Devoted to Lit
erature and the News.
TN these times of Bank suspensions and mer-
i camille suspensions, the proprietors of the
Saturday Evening Post call the attention OF
The reading public TO their old and firmly es
tablished weekly paper, as the paper that
never suspends. For over
,.y l;, THIRTY SIX YEARS ....
The Post has been published and in all that
peyiod-through "good tines AID throug
':bad times" through bank infatons an d
bank contrac.ionS, through prosperous sea =
sons and through panics. The Post has been
regula larly ued every week, and forws rded
to its thousands of subscribers. Its proprie-
tors therefore point to the past as an fail
ing index for the future. And they feel that
in asking Of the reading public continuance
of the patronage heretofore SO literally be-
slowed upon The Post, they are asking no
more than what it will he both the interest
and the pleasure Of that public to grant.
Among the contributors to The Post we
may mention the following gifted authors =
William Hewitt, Alice Gary, II. S. Arthur
Grace Greenwood, Anna Blackwell, Angus
tine Duganne, Mrs. NJ. A. Denison, En- ma
| Alice Browne, the author OF ''An Extra-J udi-
cial Statement" the author Of "Ziliai, the
Child Medium &C., &c, &C.
We design commencing in the first paper
OF January, an original .. . .-
Novelet, by T. S. Arthur.
MI. Arihnr's productions are so wde' y
known, that we reed harll, say that the tone
of the present Novelet will be entirely con-
sistent wit; the moral and instructive charac
Ter, which we have always striven TO impress
upon The Post. Readers who wish 10 peruse
The Flesh Stories which abou nd in the Iand-
M. nd thoit tor, ,lat, nv
and tffects-can fnd Them, we regret to say,
at every corner. But The Post will still main
tain it's high character, as paper which the
most scrupulous parent may allow freely to
enter .,
THE FAMILY CIRCLE;
and which will purify and instruct, instead Of
demoralizing and corrupting the youthful
mind. Especially will its conductors avoid,
in the publication of the weekly news, all
those long and disgusting reports-unfortu-
nately now SO common-of
VILE CRIMINAL CASES
believing, as they do, that the practice of
publishing the details ofsuch luathsome cases,
and of the criminal TRIALS resulting therefrom
is a fruitful Cause of the recent alarming in
crease of vice anC crime IN the community.
Like begets ike-and what the mind feeds
upon, that it will grow to resemble.
CHOICE SELECTIONS
of all kinds, from the BEST FOREIGN AND
DOMESTIC SOURCES, shall coutinue to be,
as hereto fore, a, leading feature of The Post

sons why the reading public should give the
preference to The POST

same price.
It is cheaper than any other paper of
equal merit.
1t will be certain to come when paid for.
