will be sufficient for the task.
As an indcition of the popularity Of the
LEDGER, We need only state the simple fact that
its circulation is larger than that of any other
rFs literary papers in the country. It's greatest
success is owing to the fact that We secure the
best writer's in the country, and spare 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 character Of all its articles the care
which Is taken thar not even one offensive word
shall appear in its columns, and the superiority Of
lts Tales and Sketches. have gained for tho NEW
YORK LEDGER position that no literary paper
hls ever before reached.
Anna Cora Richie, of Richmond, Va, and
Col. Walter b. Dunlap, the author OF the popular
Forest Sketches" which were published in our
columns some time since, will each begin q story
in the Ledger early in the new year. Mira South
worth Is also engaged upon a new tale.
In the next number of tho Ledger. We shall
publish very interesting article, written ex-
