PROSPECTS,
THE NETWORK LEDGER /.


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. Its
great success is owing to the fact that lis pro-
pr;etor secures the best writers in the country,
and snares no expense in getting up the BEST
FAMILY PAPER paper OF high moral
tone. The exalted reputation of its e0ntribu-
tors. the practical and invariably pure and
healthy character of all its articles, the care
which is taken that not even one ouenslve word
shall appear in its columns, and theSuperiority
of its Tales and sketches, have gained for the
NEW YORK LEDGER a position that no
literary paper has ever before reached. We
feel, and always have felt, since the LEDG Err
attained its immense circulation that a heavy
responsibility rests upon US, and have enlaeay-
oreTi TO discharge that responsibility conseien-
tiousIy, feeling confident that ultimately we
should receive the thanks of thousands and tens
of thousands of families.
As tn the future, we are at loss what to
say. We prefer to PERFORM rather than to
PRoyysE.- What we. have heretofore done is
known TO our readers they know what the
LEDGER has been and is now. and must
therefore Judge what it will be hereafter. We
can only say that among the contributors 10 the

FACTS like these carry with there more
weight than any comments that could be made,
and comments will therefore be dispensed

leave promising to those who intend to expend
their force in that way, and content ourselves
in doing what we can to make the LEDGER
the most interesting and instructive FAMILY
