ADVERTISEMENTS. 



THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. 



ESTABLISHED AUGUST 4, 1821. 

 WEEKLY EDITION BETWEEN 80,000 AND 90,000. 



In issuiiijEj their prosptctus for ISoG, the proprietors of the Post take it for granted that the public are already 

 tolerably well acquainted with tlie character of a paper that has grown strong during the storms and sunshine of 

 THIRTY-FOUR YEARS. Their object always has been, as it remains to be, to pubhsh a weekly paper for the 

 family circle, which sliall not only amuse, but also instruct and improve those who may read it. To accomplish this 

 object, the best articles are selected or condensed from foreign and domestic periodicals, and original articles of an 

 instructive character procured, when possible. 



Letters from Foreign Lands ; the most interesting portion of the Weekly News of the World ; Sketches of Life, 

 Adventure, and Character; Selected and Original articles upon Agriculture; Account of the Produce and Stock 

 Markets, and a Bank Note List are included among the solid information to be constantly found in the Post. 



But the mind requires a wider range — it has faculties which delight in'the humorous and lively, the imaginative and 

 poetical. These faculties also must have their appropriate food, else they become enfeebled, and, as a consequence, 

 tlie intellect becomes narrow and one-sided, and is not able to take an enlarged and generous view of human nature 

 and its destiny. To satisfy these heaven-implanted cravings of our mental being, we devote a fair proportion of the 

 Post to FICTION. POETRY, and HUMOR. 



Among our contributors in the first two of the above departments, are several of the most gifted writers in the 

 land. We also draw freely for Fiction and Poetry upon the best periodicals in this country and Great Britain. We 

 design commencing a new story by Mrs. Soutuworth, author of " The Deserted wife," " Miriam," &c., in our first 

 paper of January next. 



ENGRAVINGS, illustrative of important places and actions, of Agricultural and other new Inventions, with 

 others of a humorous, though refined character, are also freely given. 



The postage on the Post to any part of the United States, paid quarterly or yearly in advance, at the office where 

 it is received, is 2G cents a year.

We annex a few notices of the Post from its Exehanffcs ; 



This IS one of the few Urge pajjers tilled with life and thought, 

 iofltead of lumbeiiDg trash. Its management is marked bj liberal- 

 ity, courtesy, ability and tact. It employs the best literary talent, 

 and tpares no pains or expense. As a family paper, one of literary 

 end general intelligence, we cordially commend it. — Cayuga Chief, 

 Auburn, N. Y. 



In another column is an advertisement of the Saturday Evening 

 Post. Our readers may rely upon it, that Deacon & Peterson will 

 be as good as their word. So far as we can judge by years of ob- 

 BervatioD, tbtsif pubLi.'-bers do rather more than they promise; and 

 their paper is edited «ith very marked ability. It ia singularly free 

 froiQ silly sentimentiilism and bluster, but it is of a healthy tone 

 on all subjects, always moderate in language, but always mildly 

 ftdvocating the right. We find it one of the moat generally attrac- 

 tive papers in our exchange. — Saturday f''isitor, PilUburg; Pa. 



We have heretofore spoken in high terms of the merits of the 

 Post, as one of the best papers on oar exchange list, and we regard 

 it as one of the best literary papers to be found anywhere. Its ed- 

 itorials are writtt-n with ability, and taKe a liben^il, independent, 

 Mid comprehensive view of men and things. — Slar and Adc.y 

 WrighistUU, Pa. 



The editorial department is conducted with ability and skill, and 

 the news department, for a weekly paper, is exceedingly full and 

 complete. All things considered, the Post is not excelled, for fam- 

 ily reading, by any paper that we know of. — Gazette, Fulton, N. Y. 



This is one of the oldest weekly papers in Philadelphia. It has 

 lived on through all weathers — adversity has tossed it, and pros- 

 perity filled its sails — and yet it is the same staunch, strong barque. 

 — Spectator, Oguairka, HI. 



Thia is one of the best family paper? upon our exchange list, 

 Its original and well selected mniter is of the tirst order. — JSortK 

 fFestem Democrat, Minneapolis, Minn, Ter, 



It is emphatically one of the best literary newspapers in the 

 whole country, and deserves the unparalleled success with which 

 it baa met under its present enlightened and liberal proprietorship. 

 The greater its circulation in this State, the less, probably, is our 

 gain pecuniarily ; yet we must pronounce it a most excellent jour- 

 nal, and worthy of the patronage of everybody. The contributors 

 to the Post are among the finest writers in America, and the edi- 

 tor's articles are always characterized by truth and taste. — Jersey 

 Blue, Camden, N. J. 



We regard it as the best of the Philadelphia literary papers. Its 

 editorials are written with ability, and take a comprehensive view 

 of whatever is discussed. — Echo, Johnstown, Pa. 



The long period during which this sterling paper has been estab- 

 lished, and its recent immense circulation (being between 80,000 

 and 90,000) are ample guarantees to all who desire an excellent 

 paper that they will get the ■worth of their money by subscribing 

 fur the Post.— C/aritm, Lockhart, Texas, 



[t ia a paper of the largest size, and is edited with ability. It is 

 highly spoken of by its readers, some of whom have clung to it 

 for the last quarter of a century. It is too well and favorably 

 known to need lengthy commendation. It tells its own story each 

 week, and if you send for it once, you will be very sure to do so 

 again. — }' alley Times, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. 



It is deservedly one of the most popular public journals in the 

 United States, combining, as it does, in a literary point of view, all 

 the interest of the best magazines with a vast amount of general 

 intelligence. — Republican, Litchjicld, Conn. 



We are in weekly receipt of this invaluable family journal, and 

 should feel very much at a loss without it, as we consider it the 

 best literary paper now published in the United States, without any 

 exception. — Democrat, Cambridge, Md.

 ding our terms) for their editorial columns, shall be entitled to an exchange, by sending us a marked copy of the paper
