exalted reputation of its contributors the practical
and inv arably pure and healthy character of an ,s
articles, the care which is taken that even Of
fensive word shall appear in its columns and the supe
rority Of its tales aud sketches gained for the
NEW YORK LEDGER u position that no literary paper
