We add to the list of our subscrib'

of new names, among them several
whose subscriptions were given US by
their friends as new year present,

the trouble to send it away to absent
friends or relatives, for besides the
ANNOYANCE and the fact that more
or less soiled copy must be sent them,
the postage is more than half as much
as the regular subscription. A. dol
lar will secure flesh, clean copy OF
