We acknowledge the reception OF No. % OF
:: The Present Age" It was directed to me
personally, probably by Col. Fox, the editor,
and most likely without his knowing any
thing of my connection with the press In the
number before me are the following remarks:
eve feel laudable pride in calling the at
tention of our readers to our paper this week.
are we gratifed when we COM
pare it with the first few numbers issued, as
by this comparative view, the progress we
have made will become apparent. We ask
our subscribers who have kept file to instl-
tute the same comparison, and when they
see the marked improvement, consider our
steady yet rapid growth, they will not Won
der at marked success, but perhaps may De
surprised when we assure them, that we are
this week printing over four thousand copies.
We have not yet that number of paying sub
scrbers, but confidently expect them before
the close Of the first year. We have printed an
extra number the present week, for the pur-
pose of sending several hundred specimen
copies to persons whose names have in res
ponse to our call, been sent US. We ask those
persons who are not regular subscribers, who
may receive copy, to peruse it carefully,
consider the fact that we have made the at
tempt, we think, to be eminently successful,
of publishing first class Spiritual and Faml-
~ paper, for the low price of two dollars
year; and ii you agree with US please sub
scribe, and get as many of your neghbofs as
49, NTo1 Cd t1,n
best writer's in the liberal ranks, and we as
sure all, that we shall try to meet the en-
couraging words received from different
states by every mail:
your paper grows better and better every
number"
"The Present Age" is published at Kala-
mazoo, Michigan. We will place THE Pres
ent Age" on our exchange list and hope to
receive it in exchange.
BALLoU's MONTHLY Magazine for May is
received. Ballous May is here, but our May
is not, and may, perhaps, not be for month
or more. Ballou, having come before time,
and I, not having time to read it before the
right time, find it dif1cult to speak intelli-
tains, without having read it.
The readers of THE TELEGRAPH will there.
fore please take my word for it upon trust,
that Ballou for May is very excellent mum.
and will well pay for the reading.
PErERs's MUSICAL MONTHLY for April is
received. The publisher says: 'Tell your
friends that we are giving $40 worth of New
Music, besides $50 pages of reading matter,
for $500 year."
Of the reading, we-the present editor
could Judge if we had time to read it. OF the
new music we should have to get some one
to judge for us. This much we can say: the
Musical Monthly is well printed on good pa
per. and in our opinion, is well worth the
money to any one who wants musical
monthly and good reading.
