wherever it it 10 known. No magazine in the
country is better adapted to the family circle.
During the forthcoming volume it will contin-
ue to maintain its character as
"THE QUEEN OF THE MoNTHLIES."
In its mechanical execution the Repository
is nos equaled by any magazine in the land.
1t is printed from stereotype plates on the finest
calendared paper; and each number contains
two original steel eAgravings, executed in the
highest style of the art, by artists who stand
at the head of their profession.
The Repository has special adaptation to the

cial attention is invited to the varied ard inter-
esting contents of the Editorial Department,

That is, you get in the Repository for Two
Dollars and Half what weuld cost you Ten

TERMS.
In view Of the unprece dentsd increase in the
cost Of paper and all other materials o fmanufac-
ture, and in view of the fact shat publishers OF
books are compelled to add from twenty FIVE
to thirty per cent. to the price Of their books,
We have deemed it unsafe 70 attempt the pub
LEGATION of the Repository for the coming year
at less than
TWO AND A HALF DOLLARS.
This must be paid Invariably in advance.
All ministers of the Methodist Episcopal
Church are accredited Agents, and will receive
Subscriptions and Payments.
