that the reader may decide whether it
is worth the three cents paid for it. To
those who enjoy laughable or amusing
joke, or a funny piece, such is to be
found; those who read for instruction
will find several selections that are of
value the lover of good poetry will be
liable to find in this, and in every issue,
something above the ordinary level OF
common poetry those who wish short

profit by all; if something of moral or
religious teaching is sought, that is not
wanting; if the farmer wishes hints on
topics pertinent to the season, they may
be found on the fourth page; those lady |
readers interested in the culture of flow
ers land this embraces nearly alp will
