 GRACE GREENWOOD, 



MARY HO WITT, 

 T. S. ARTHUR, &c. 



THE Proprietors of the SATURDAY EVENING POST would 

 call tlie attoimon of the public to thi-ir lo -.g-established sheet. 

 and especially to their BElLLIANi AKKASUEMEXTS for the 

 coinin<' year. The Post is peculiarly adapted to Uie wants of 

 COUNrKY FAMILIES, as it contains weekly not only a larsre 

 amount of the Best Literature, but the Latest News, Agricultural 

 Essavs and Information, Domestic Keceipts, Accounts ol the Uar- 

 kets,"&;e., itc, itc. 



In its Liierarv Department, measures have been taken to ren- 

 der the comins vear one of Unusual luterest. Determined to ob- 

 tain for The Post the very best talent that could be procured, we 

 have made arrangements with the distmguished author, G. P. K. 

 JAMES, Esq., tor'the aid of his brilliant and fertile pen. "S\ e de- 

 sign opening the year with an Hisiorieal Novelet by this gifted 

 author, to be" entitled 



THE C.WALIER ; By G. P. R. James, Esq. 

 Author of '• Richelieu,'' " JJary of Burgundy," '• The Old Do- 

 minion," ic, «fcc. 



To show that we have hesUatf-d at no reasonable expense to 

 procure the verv best talent for our readers, we may be allowed 

 to state that we'pav Mr. James for the above Novelet the sum ot 

 S1^650.0l>, an amount which, though large, is simply in accord- 

 ance with the usual rates that Mr. James" high reputation enables 

 him to command. AVe may further add that Mr. JAMES ^^ ILL 

 WRITE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE POST. 



In addition to " THE CAV-^LIKK." we have already secured 



THREE STORIES FROM MARY HOWITT, 



a lady whose name and literary abilities are probably known 

 ■wherever the Eug.ish language is spoken. 



AVe mav furthiTr state that GRACE GREENWOOD, the popu- 

 lar American authoress, will contribute regularly to our columns. 

 A Series of Articles from her brilliant and graceful pen has been 

 arranged for, to be entitled 



CilTY SIGHTS AND THOUGHTS ; By Grace Greenwooi. 

 In this Series, which will probably run ihr.mgh the whol. >ear 

 our readers may anticipate a literary treat of no common char- 

 acter. 



A NOVELET, BY T. S- ARTHUR; 

 otir readers' and the public's old, and approved friend, has also 

 been engaged to add to the treasures of the New Year. Our 



admirabre weekly „„„,, .«..„.,„ 



LETTERS FROM PARIS, 

 ■which have been so well received by our readers, will also be 



'^Di addition to the names of G. P. E. JAMES, M.\EY HOW- 

 ITT MIS-^ EMMA ALICE BROWNE, •• FLORENCE PER- 

 CY." MISS MARTHA RUSSELL, and the Author ot'JIYLAST 

 CRUISE, are among the regular contributors to The Post. Tht 

 productions of many other writers, of course, will at interval 

 grace and adorn our columns; and 



CHOICE SELECTIONS 

 of all kinds, from the best jokeion and domestic sorRCES, shall 

 continue to be. as heretofore, a leading feature of our paper. The 

 Stories, Essays, Sketches, Agricultural and S ientific Facts, &c., 

 &c., obtained ii. this way for tlie readers of The Post, are among 

 the'mosl instructive as well as interesting portion of its contents. 

 THE VERY OKE.\M of the rEniorrcAL i.iteratuee_of the 

 British Isles being thus given to our readers. 



While The Post thus presents Literary attractions of the very 

 highest order— designed for a more Intelligent class of readers 

 than those who take delight in the ■' blood and murder'' and 

 " sawdust" literature of the -flash weeklies" — it does not neglect 

 those departments that the Family Circle equally require. It 

 publishes weekly 



AGRICULTURAL ARTICLES — the NEWS, FOREIGN, 

 DOMESTIC and CONGRESSIONAL — Receipts useful to the 

 Housekeeper and the Farmer ; many of them worth more than 

 the cost of a year's subscription — Riddles and Problems — The
