see how any publisher can have the cour-
age to expend the amount Of money that

gan to tire OF his work, if this number is
to be taken as an example of his energy,

sual vigor. Its publisher, by bis expert
ence, fully pretending the tastes and
wants of those for whom he labors, has
made his Book as complete ladies' CON.

interest to woman finds place through

Mrs. Hopkinson, Marion Harland Louise

lights in the literary department in this
