MAPLE LEAVES 
ENLARGED AND IMPROVED. 
The publisher has completed arrangements for enlarging 
and improving the scope and character of Maple Leaves 
(commencing with January, 1870), that will render it in all 
respects worthy of its reputation and popularity ; and which, 
for the character of its contents, shall be interior to none 
of " 
[ its higher-priced contemporaries. 
The 111 
llustrationa will be by the best artists. Fiction of 
powerful interest will form the prominent feature of its 
pages, but with this will be associated Popular Articles on 
Topics of the Day, Striking Narratives, Biographical Me- 
moirs. Papers on Social Subjects, Domestic Economy, and 
Useful and Scientific Articles, which, it is believed, will be 
read with interest in every family circle to which Maple 
Leavks is destined to nnd its way. It will also contain 
snort Poems by eminent writers; but the object of its Editor 
will be to avoid all subjects which, however acceptable to 
classes or individuals, are not of general interest. 
It will be printed on a superior paper, each number con- 
BUting of Twenty-four pages, quarto (three columns each), 
in a neat cover. 
The terms will be Fifty Cents per year ; Five copies for 
¥2.00. Specimen copies and Premium List sent on receipt
