Vernon Assoeiation) the sum Of TEN THOU
SAND DOLLARS.
As an indication of the popularity of the
LEDGER, we need only state the simple fact.
that its circulation is larger than that of any
other Ten literary papers IN the country. It's
great success is owing to the facts that its pro-
prietOr secures the best writers in the country,
aud spares expense in getting up the BEST
FAMILY PAPER-a paper of high moral tone.
The exalted reputation of its contributors, the
practical and invariably pure and healthy char
acter Of all its articles, the care which is taken
that not even one offensive word shall appear in
its columns and the superiority Of its tales and
sketches, have gained for the NEW YORK
LEDGERa position that no literary paper has
ever before reached. We feel. and always have
felt, since the LEDGER attained its immense
circulation. that heavy responsibility rests up
on us. and have endeavored TO discharge that re-
sponsibity cOnscientiously, feeling confident
that ultimately we should receive the thanks of
thousands and tens of thousands of families.
As TO the future, we are at q loss what to say.
