The Paper that Never SusPends

AAc btapCE tAAsat NCNCH SuSRCuAsuSs
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 irmly es-
tablshed weekly paper, as the paper that
never suspends. For over
THIRTY SIX YEARS
The Post has been published; and in all that
perod-through "good tines AID through
''bal times,'' through bank infations and
bank contractionS, through prosperous sea
sons and through panics. The Post has been
regularly issued every week, and forws rded
to its thousands of subscribers. Its proprie-
tors therefore point to the past as an unfail-
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 ii 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, Il. S, Arthur,
Grace Greenwood, Anna Blackwell, Angus
tine Duganne, Mrs M. A. Denison, EN- ma
Alice Browne, the author of "An Extra-J udi-
cial Statement the author Of 'ZilIah, the
Child Medium" &C., &C., &C.
We design commencing in the first paper
of January, an original .s ...,..
Novelet, by 7. s. Arthur.
MI. Arthur's productions are so widely
known, that we reed hardly say that the tone
of the present Novelet will be entirely con-
sistent wit h the moral and instructive charac-
Ter, which we have always striven to impress
upon The Post. Readers who wish TO peruse
the Flash Stories which abound in the land
perniclous and destructive in their tendency
and effectS-can hnG them, we regret to say,
a. every corner. But The Post will still main
tain its high character, as a paper which the
most scrupulous parent may allow freely to
enter '-'' '"

and which will purify and instruct, instead of
ldemoralizing and corrupting the youthful
mind. Especially will its conductors avoid,
I in the publication of the weekly news, all
| those long and disgusting reports-unfortu-
nately now SO common-of ...r
VILE CRIMINAL CASES;
believing, as they do, that the practice OF
publishing the details ofsuch loathsome cases,
and of the criminal trials resulting therefrom,
| is fruitful Cause of the recent alarming in
crease of vice an6 crime IN the community.
| Like begets like-and what the mind feeds
upon, that it will grow to resemble.

The stories, essays, ske tches, agricultural and

of its contents.

Finally, we may mention three good rea
sons why the reading public should give the
preference to The Post:-
