during MAY and JIJ3JI3. 
The above may, at first sight, appear a little sen- 
sational, but it is only a statement of what has 
been done by many tliousauds of persons 
all over the country; and what has been done 
by these thousands, can be done by other thousands 
just as well. It only needs the desire to do it, 
and the WILL to do it, aed it will be done. 
1st— There are now about -lO, 000,000 people 
in this country, nearly all within reach of the 
38, ©OO Post-offices. The most of these people 
are pushing along, seeking to better their condi- 
tion. Their success depends upon two things, 
viz. : Steady, hard work, with body or mind, and 
knowledge enough to turn Vizir work to the best 
account. One drudges along and fails of success, 
because lie does not know how to work to the best 
advantage ; another works less, and yet succeeds 
better, because his knowledge directs and aids his 
physical or mental labor. 
fid — It is a benefit to the former class to add to 
his or her knowledge by every possible means. 
3d — Two Journals, viz., the American Agricul- 
turist (monthly) and Hearth and Home (weekly) are 
prepared by those who make it their earnest busi- 
ness to gather all possible reliable information 
about the best methods of doing work, and of turn- 
ing that work to the besi 'possible advantage. These 
persons talk and write from large experience 
as workers, and from extensive observation, and 
from an immense amount of correspondence with 
practical men and women all over the country. 
4lth — It is impossible for any person, whatever his 
coJliitft, to read lite condensed information thus given in 
these jo urn ah without getting thoughts and hinis that 
mill directly or indirectly increase the value of his or 
her work many times the cost qfthejpapers. The Agri- 
culturist costs less than half a cent a day, and Hearth 
and Home less than one cent a day, and the two 
together less than 1}£ cents a day — sums easily saved. 
5th— It only needs some one to show the 
people these papers, point out their useful- 
ness, and receive and forward their sub- 
scriptions. 
Gth— Out of 40,000,000 people, there is 
at least one in every forty, or 1,000,000 
in all, who could take one or both of 
these journals with profit, whereas there 
are only about 200,000 that now take 
them, or only one in every two hundred. 
tih — We offer fine Premiums, as good as 
cash, (see next column,) to those persons 
who will take the trouble to show the 
pajicrs and collect and forward the sub- 
scriptions. It can be done at odd spells, 
without interfering with other work, 
and premiums all the way from $5 to 
$035 can thus be secured without cost. 
8th— This has been done at 11,000 Post- 
offices by about 1:2,500 persons, with people 
enough left at these offices to make up 
twice as many premium clubs. There are 
B7.5WO other Post-offices where no pre- 
mium clubs have been raised, simply be- 
cause no one has taken hold of the work. 
9th and lOtfi — ItEABER, you 
can do it, this month of MAT. It is 
a good time ; spring work is progressing 
and people are wanting help and informa- 
tion, and they can get it from these 
journals. You can secure one or more of 
the excellent premiums. Tou can do 
it this month, and, if you wish, have 
June to swell your club up to a larger 
premium. XKY IX. 
%W See Explanatory IVotes. 
Kote.— Many persons canvass all the time as 
a business, sell the premiums received, and thus 
clear large wages. One Lady actually thus earns 
over $3,000 a year, and multitudes In this way 
secure salaries of $300 to $1,500 a year.
