Americans in sorrow for their noble
dead, appreciate the sympathy of tn,
Old World, as statesmen, authors, and
heroes do homage to the memory of Bay
ard Taylor. II is fact worthy of en-
during record in history, that poo,
printer boy of a Pennsylvania village
by his own genius aud innate nobility,
rose to such distinction that kings OF
earth stand uncovered to do homer to his
memory. 1t is not only grand picture,
hut one full of delicate touches of 70
nance and sentiment-a whole volume
in eulogy of a noble life.

We do not know of any exercise that
gives the readers of Allen county
more pleasure than toas'ing their feet by
the parlor fire and turning the pages OF
the old reliable New Y ,rk Ledger. There
are many poorly executed copies or at
tempted copies of Bonner's famous story
paper but there is nothing in Americas
literature that compares with it. The
average reader" wants something light
er than the usual monthly magazine and
yet does not wish the trashy, sensational
stuff palmed off upon the public by the
usual story paper. The Ledger has struck
the happy mean and in addition to its
excellent stories contains much that is
serious enough in purpose and literary
style to interest people of genuine cui-
ture. In all the prospectuses for 1879
there is none fresher. brighter and more
vigorou. than the wOrld-renowned Led
ger. Ask your news-dealer for it.
