THE PAPER THAT NEVER SUSPENDS. 

 FAMILY WEEKLY — DEVOTED TO LlTEKATUllE AND THE NEWS. 



In these times of Bank suspensions and Mercantile suspensions, the proprietors of the SATriiPAY Evening Post 

 call the attention of the reading public to their old and hruilv-establislied weekly paper, as the paper that never sus- 

 pends. For over 



THIRTY-SIX YEARS 



The Post has been published ; and in all that period — through "good times" and through "bad times," through 

 bank inflations and bank coutracfions. tlirough jirosperous seasons and thionsjh paiii<s, 'I'liK Post has tieen regulaily 

 issued every week, and forwarded to its tliou.sands of sultseribers. Its proprietors therefore point to the past as an 

 unfailing index of the future. And they feel that in asking of tne reading public a continuance of the pationage 

 heretofore so liberally be-itnwed ui)on The Post, tliey are asking no more than what it will be both the interest and 

 the pleasure of that public to grant. 



Among the contributors to 'i'lii': t'osT. we may mention the followins' g'fted writers : 



WILLL\M IIOWITT. ALICE CAKY. T. S. ARTHUR, UliACE GREENWOOD, ANNA BLACKWELL, 

 AUGUSTINE DUGANNE. MRS M. A. DENISON. EMMA ALICE BROWNE, The Author of ''AN EXTRA- 

 JUDICIAL statement:' The Author of "ZILLAH, THE CHILD MEDIUM," &c. &c. &c. 



We design commencing in the first paper in January, an original 



NOVELET, BY T. S. ARTHUR. 



Mr. Arthur's productions are so widely known, that we need hardly say that the tone of the present Novelet will be 

 entirely consistent with the moral and instructive character which we have always «triven to impress upon Thk Post. 

 Readers who wish to peruse the Flash Stoiiif.s which abound in the land — rernicious hthI destructive in their ten- 

 dency and effects — can find them, we reirret to say, at everv corner. But Thk Post will still maintain its high char- 

 acter, as a paper which the most scrupulous parent may allow freely to enter 



THE FAMILY CIRCLE; 



And which will purify and instruct, instead of demoralizing and corrupting, the youthful mind. Especiallv will its 

 conductors avoid, in tlie publication of the weekly news, all those long and disgusting reports — uniortunately now so 

 common — of 



VILE CRIMINAL CASES; 



Believing, as they do, that the practice of publishing the details of such loathsome cases, and of the criminal trials 

 resulting therefrom, is a fruitfui cause of the recent alarming iucrease of vice and crime in the community. Like be- 

 gete like — and what the mind feeds upon, that will it grow to resemble. 



CHOICE SELECTIONS 



of all kinds, from the best fokf.ign and domestic sources, shall continue to be, as heretofore, a leading feature of 

 The Post. The Stories, Essays, Sketches, Atiricultural and Scientific Facts, &c. <lc , obtained in this way for the 

 readers of The Post, are am-ong the most instructive as well as interesting portion of its contents. 



THE VERY CREAM 



of the PEBiODicix I.ITEEAIUBE OF THE BRITISH IsLES is thus given to our readers. The Post, weekly, has 



SOMETHING FOR ALL 



the members of the family — NOVELETS, ESSAYS, STORIES, ENGRAVINGS, AGRICULTURAL ARTI- 

 CLES, THE NEWS, SKETCHES, POETRY, ANECDOTES, RIDDLES, THE WHOLESALE AND RLT.^IL 

 MARKETS, BANK NOTE LIST, &c. .&c. &c. 



Finallj, we may mention three good reasons why the reading public should give the preference to The Post : 



It Is Superior to any other Paper of the Same Price. 

 It U CUcapcr tUaii any otiier Paper of Kqual Merit. 

 It vrlll be Certain to Couie ^vhen Paid For.
