" You can not conceive, nor I express, our Fnnsat.ions 
when your prcseut was brought to our kitchen door, the 
other day, while wc were seated at dinner, by an express- 
ion. Anything more bean tl fnl, more lovely, or more be- 
witching wc dou't believe it possible lor mortal Clan to 
palm, print, or pencil upon canvas or paper. Ii is a perfect 
gem. In fact, we all (ten of u<> were so delighted with Hie 
sweet little Strawberry Girl, that our dinner-table was en- 
tirely abandoned [n onr admiration. I have t:iken her with 
me to show her off to several ol my friends, and could have 
sol«I her at any price, bnt I hadn't ih» heart to do it. But I 
informed them how to get onn Just like her; that satisfied 
them, and they let me bring my pet liome again." 
" Your Chromo of the boy and cirl with Jack-o'-Lantern

pretty and well-flnished pictures. They are far superior to 
tbc chromos 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 iinest gift Chromo that I have 
seen (and I have seen all of the leading ones). Tlve subject 
is splendid. Just such a picture as I want tn my parlor. It 
will not only fill the hearts of my 'little chicks * with Joy, 
but will afford my wife and myself great pleasure. Could I 
not duplicate it I would not take twentv dollars for it. You 
are doing u good work, a Christian work, in supplying so 
many homes with this 'thing of beauty.' Its presence can 
not but brighten every household, and make glad the hear(6 
of all who behold tt. One ' hearth and home 'will remem- 
ber with gratitude the generous donors." 
" Yonr 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 is this day received, and gives the com- 
plctest satisfaction. There were three or four gentlemen In 
the bank when the picture was exhibited, and a'l pro- 
nounced It fine. It gives you two new subscribers." 
"The Chromo of Hearth and Home has 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 and all 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 onr sincere thanks for ihe Chromo, and best wishes 
for your paper as well as your own personal future good." 
"' Mischief Brewing * arrived on the 3d, and immediately 
commenced brewing mischief, In that no oue could properly 
attend to their work for looking at the Chromo."

the Mibscrlptton price of Hearth and Home, and the latter is 
a niins of useful and entertaining knowledge." 
"The sweet little 'Strawberry Girl' bns found her way 
into our home and hearts. No one could deebwe the berries 
'just paint, arranged to deceive,* for the pretty Hushed 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."

I.lcasvd with it.. Thanks."

them; they were beyond my expectations. I am profoundly 
obliged to you for them. I wlil try my best now to get as 
many subscribers as possible." 
" It does seem wrong for me to add to yonr labor by even 
reading tlds 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 seeing the delight of my subscribers over their Chromo 
for the Agriculturist. Please fortrlve me for the time it 
takes you to read this, ahd th- thanks I send with theirs 
for the splendid presents. ' Truly n thing of bennty Is a Joy 
forever.'" 
"The premium you give with Henrth 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." 
"Yonr premium Chromo of the 'Strawberry Girl' for 
Heart'' and Home came to hand by m>iil all right. It Is 
beantlfnl b«yond our expectations, and is reall) 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 yon had so many competitors. But In 
this, aa well as in your premium Chromo for Agriculturist, 
the one half has not been told. We admire both hugely, 
and thank yon most heartily for them."
