The rroprietors of the Saturday Even;eg
Post-ssthe oldest and best of the Weeklies''-
have the pleasure to announce to the reading
public, that they have made an e1elx.ire en-
gagelnent with an Author whose powerful
stories have of late attracted great attention;
and that they will open the year of 1860 With
novelet, erritten expressly for The Post, called
THE EARL'S DAUGHTER.
By the Author of s'The Red Court Farm,''
"The Rock" the Hester HaliireN' Stories,
"The Siir Gray Po~ders," The Diamond Brace.
At," &C., &C.
In this story, written expressly for Tie
Post, this powerful writer's genius has had full
scope afforded it; aud We are able to state
in hand-that it will make . sensation, unless
We are greatly mistaken, rs one of the most
powerful and interesting stories ever published.
TO enable those unacquainted with The Post
to judge of the richness and variety of its gen
cral contents, We may state that during the
past year we have published novelets, stories,
poems essays, &C., from the pens Of the fol-
lowing gifted writer's:
G r. r. James; Charles Dickins; Alfred
7ennyson; Charles Reade; H. " Lonafetlo,e
Charles Mackog; Wilkie Collin.; Dr.. o "
Holmes; T S Arthur; author Of "The Seoxt," &c;
Alexander Dumas; John G. WAit;t,; O,een Ker
Houit; author Of "The Red Court Earm''
Author Of " Farm Of -Four Acres"
acres " Grace greenwood; Miss Pardoe; Florence
Percy; amelia b Edrards; Emma Bro~n
author f'Thc Ebony Cdsket." Mrs n Denison
Fanny N Raymond; Nora Perry; Isa Craig ):
Miss Aartineau.
The writings of the above and other distin-
guished authors make up, in a great degree,
the yearly contents of The Post-many Of tho
above list writing expressly for our columns,
and the choicest contributions of the others
being obtainded as soon as possible from tho
English and other periodicals in which they
appear. In this way we7are enabled to make
up Il sheet, unsurpassed as We think, for the
parie,y and brillioncy of its contents.
The Post does rot conhnc itself, however,
to works of imagination, as so many Weeklies
now do 1t generally dcvotes a fair portion Of
its ample space to the NEWS of the WEEK,
Foreign and Domestic, to Letters From Paris,
to an Agricultural Department, to Bank, Note,
and Stock LISTS, and to Weekly and accurate
Price Current Of the Produce Aarkets, &c., &c.
