The New York Ledger.

As an indication of the Popularity Of the LEG FIR,
we need only state the simple fact that It's circua-
ton is larger than that OF any other TIN Literary
papers in ia country Its great success - owing TO
the fact proprietor secures the best writers
Z the BEST FAMILY PAPER--a paper of high moral
tone. The exalted reputation Of its contributors,
the practical and invariably pure and hralthy char
acer of all its articles, the care which Is tai en- that
not even offensive word shall appear in its col
umrs and the SUI eriority OF its Tales and sketches,
have gained for the NEW YORK IEDG Err position
that no literary paper has ever before reached. We
feel and always have felt, since the LEDGER at
tained its inIncnce circu ltion that heavy respon
sbiity rests upNp us, and have endeayored 10 dis
charge that responsibility conscientiously, feeling
confident that ultimately we would receive the
thanks of thousands and tens OF thousands of fam
lies.
As to the future, at loss what to s:Iy. We
prefer to PERFORM rather than To PROMISE. What we
have heretofore done is known 10 readers; they
know what tho LEDG Err has been and is now, aud
must therefore judge what il will be hereafter. We
