What Subscribers say about 
the 1 Iiaoinos. 
We have a large number of letters from sub- 
scribers who have received the Chionios, ex- 
pressing their delight in the possession of These 
beautiful pictures. We give below extracts 
from a few of these letters. The Chromos are 
being delivered as rapidly as possible. 
"Your beautiful Chrorao, 'Mischief Brewing,' arrived 
safely by mail. I think it must be admired wherever seen, 
i truly excellent." 
" Tour Chromos are received, and we are exceedingly 
well pleased. They are both beautiful, but we fancy the 
American picture. Please accept our thanks." 
"The two Chromos, 'Mischief Brewing' and ' The Straw- 
berry Girl," were received in good order, and are really very 
pretty and well-finished pictures. They are far superior to 
the fliromos issued by the — — .which I received at 
the same time." 
"The Chromo of the 'Strawberry Girl* came safely to 
hand this morning. It Is the finest gift Chromo that 1 have 
seen (aud I have seen all of the leading ones). The subject 
is splendid, just such a picture as I want in my parlor. It 
will not only fill the hearts of my ' little chicks ' with joy, 
but will afford ray wile and myself great pleasure. Could I 
not duplicate it I would not take twenty dollars for it. You 
are doing a good work, a Christian, work, in supplying 60 
many homes with this 'thing of beauty.' Its presence can 
not but brighten every household, and make glad the hearts 
of all who behold it. One 'hearth and home' will remem- 
ber with gratitude the generous donors." 
"Tour Chromo of the boy and girl with Jack-o'-lantern 
(Mischief Brewing) received this day. It is a perfect beauty. 
My three little boys and one girl are delighted with it— the 
coloring so soft, the scene so perfect and natural. Accept 
my thanks for the Chromo and for your very valuable 
paper, that I have taken many years and shall continue to 
do so for years to come." 
"The Chromo i3 this day received, and gives the com- 
pb-test satisfaction. There were three or four gentlemen in 
the bank when the picture was exhibited, and a:i pro- 
nounced it fine. It gives you two new subscribers." 
"The Chromo 6f Hearth and Homehixs arrived, and gives 
complete satisfaction and delight to all. The position of 
the little one is :is natural as life, while her face is full of 
beauty, innocence, and expression." 
"Our beautiful Chromo, 'The Strawberry Girl,' came 
several days ago, and we should have acknowledged its re- 
ceipt ere this, only for want of lime. We aud ail of our 
friends are delighted with the picture, and the general ex- 
pression is, 'How can they afford to give so fine a picture?' 
Receive our sincere thanks for the Chromo, and best wishes 
for your paper as well as your own personal future good." 
"' Mischief Brewing' arrived on the 3d, and immediately 
eommi-iiced brewing mischief, in that no one could properly 
attend to their work for looking at the Chromo. 1 ' 
"The picture alone, in my opinion, is worth three times 
the subscription price of Hearth and Home, and the latter is 
a mine of useful and entertaining knowledge." 
"The sweet little 'Strawberry Girl' has found her way 
Into our home and hearts. No one could declare the berries 
'just paint, arranged to deceive, 1 for the pretty Mushed face 
t lis us plainly that the little lassie has just picked the ber- 
ries, and is now ready to see how they taste. So natural is 
It, that I found myself exclaiming. ' How do you do, dear ? ' 
before I could realize that she couldn't answer back." 
" Your premium Chromo has just been received. "Well 
pleased with it. Thanks." 
"I received the two Chromos, and am highly pleased with 
them; they were beyond my expectations. I am profoundly 
obliged to you for them. I will try my best now to get as 
many subscribers as possible." 
'* It does seem wrong for me to arid to your labor by even 
reading this note, and I at first thought I would not do it. 
But I lelt so mean to receive two such gifts as the Chromos 
of Hearth and Home and Agriculturist and not so much as 
reply with a ' thank you.' I could not stand it any longer 
since seoiue the delight of my subscribers over their Chromo 
for the Agt iculturist. Please torsive me for the time it 
takes you to read this, and th" thanks I send with theirs 
for the splendid presents. ' Truly a thing of beauty is a joy 
forever."* 
"The premium you g.ive with Hearth and Home— viz., 
'The Strawberry Girl * — Is at hand. I can not but return 
my most sincere thanks. It is the pride of our household; 
It is a perfect beauty." 
"We have received the Chromo, ' Strawberry Girl,' aud 
are very much pleased with it. Every one who has seen it 
considers it a beautiful picture." 
"I received my picture (Mischief Brewing) and would 
not take the retail pi ice for it, $j.00." 
" Your Chromos are by far the best sent to this place by 
any publisher, So say all." 
"I received the new Chromo sent last week, for wlnich 
you will please accept my thanks. I think it is a perfect 
beauty. Every oue who has seen it is pleased with it." 
" I received the Hearth and Home Chromo a few days 
ago, safe. The almost universal exclamation in reference to 
it is, ' Beautiful ! ' * Lovely ! ' That face is hard to surpass." 
"The Chromo, 'The Strawberry Girl,' was received in 
good condition. It i* a tine thing, and the wonder is. at the 
rate Chromos are selling, even in New York, that von can 
send such a one out as a gift to subscribers to Hearth 
and Home," 
"I think the Chromos are splendid." 
"We thank you heartily for it (Chromo, 'Strawberry 
Girl'). We look upon it as a gift, considering the paper to 
be worth more than the price charged for it. Its weekly 
visits are looked forward to, alike by old and young, with 
great pleasure. We consider the tone of the paper of the 
highest order, and the principles inculcated such as can not 
fail to exert a good influence upon the present and future 
generations." 
" The Chromos are now coming to hand for my subscrib- 
ers, and as you probably wish to know how they are re- 
ceived, I write to say they give universal satisfaction in 
every instance, although all my subscriptions were taken 
for the papers themselves, and are considered worth the 
money, and Chromos are thrown in. The p ipers. Hearth 
and Home and Agriculturist, in our estimation, are abend 
of anything now out for all homes, and should be taken 
universally." 
"Your premium Chromo of the 'Strawberry Girl' for 
Hearth and Home came to hand by mail all right. It is 
beautiful beyond our expectations, and Is reall.v up to and 
beyond your description of it. We thought some little ex- 
aggeration might be allowed, when so many Chromos were 
in the market, and you had so many competitors. But in 
this, as well as in your premium Chromo for Agriculturist, 
the one half has not been told. We admire both hugely, 
and thank you most heartily for them." 
"I take the liberty of trespassing on your time to thank 
you for the beautlf 1 Chromo which arrived yesterday. We 
have taken your excellent paper more than third/ years, 
and In every case have derived many times its subscription 
price in positive benefit. The picture I shall con-ider as a 
gft from you. Having spent the most of my youth on a 
farm. I can truly appreciate the spirit of the scene in every 
particular, and know that the sturd and enterprising far- 
mers of our country are but the matured mischief-makers of 
the picture. With many thanks, I am." 
"I am bound to acknowledge reception of my beautiful 
Chroinoi. ' Mischief Brewing* came lo hand several weeks 
Bine* 1 , 'Strawberry Giti ' the past we. k— both in good con- 
dition, lam delighted wi h them; the best present I have 
received In a li.e-tlme. Many thanks." 
"Please accept my thanks for yonr beam iful Chromos, 
' Strawberry Girl* and 'Mischief Brewing,' as premiums to 
the Hearth and Home and American Agriculturist. They 
are certainly very handsome." 
" I received the Chromo, ' Mischief Brewing,* on the 8th 
inst. It has surpassed my expectations, being a gem of Its 
kind." 
"The beautiful Chromo.' The Strawberry Girl,' arrived in 
good order, »nd pleases us all; even our nlne-months-old 
baby crows with delight when he sees her sweet face." 
"The two Chromos came to us In good condition. We
