A STAR OF THE FIRST MAGNITUDE,
in the literary horizon of Great Britain, has
been specially engaged to supply THx New
YoRK MERcuRY. from time to time, with the
wonderful creations of her genius, at a cost
which no other weekly in America could ven
ture to incur.
Among the multitude Of distinguished wri-
tiers and artists who have become miiar to the
masses through the vast circulation of the STAR
WUELY OF AMERICA, may be mentioned the
following, all of whom are still upon its staff:
DR. j. II ROBINSON, CousIs MAY CGRLEroNs
MAReaREr BLoUyT, w. o. EaroN,
NED BuSTrINE, GEORGE MARITAL,
ARrHoR NJ GRANGER, JULIA s. ISGRAHAMf
GRACE GARDNER, EDWARD WILLrrr,
FELIX o. c. BARLEY, MARY CHEZ.
Miss VI. E. BRADpoN, GEORGE ALBANY.
Scores of other distinguished E,eraii. under
various MONS de plume, contribute to its COL
umns, while its pictorial illustrations are from
the inimitable pencil Of Felix o. C. barley,
ESQ., the best draughtsman of the age.
The War, which has given the coup de grace,
to so many pretentious publications, and half
destroyed those that still survive, has added
thousands to the circulation Of The New York
Mercury.
Its heart stirring short stories, its military
historiettes, its matchless serial romances, its
racy burlesques, its genial wit and hunor. its
delicious gossip, its fairy tales for little folks
its rare poetry, its fresh and vigorous editori-
ais, the Infinite variety of its contents, and the
large amount of reading matter that it compri-
ses, render it welcome everywhere, and to all
classes Of society. Containing. as il does,
FORTY COLUMNS
of closely printed matter, il may safely be pro-
nounced the cheapest as well as the best Lite
rary Newspaper extant.
Three favorite writers, DR.. J. H. Robinson,
Cousin Nav Carleton, and Ned Buntline, are
now preparing three stories for The New YoFh
Mercury. One of these productions will be
commenced in the Opening Number of the
New Year. The authors being aware of this
fact, are engaged in an cumulative contest for
precedence, and the result will unquestionahly
be that the most effective story ever pennedky
any Of the three, will commence in the
NEW YEARS NUMBER =
Of the great REPRESENTATIVE WEEKLY Of the
Western World.
