PROSPECTUS FOR TEE YEAR 1859. 
The proprietor of the NEW-YORK LEDGER is gratified at. 
having it in his power to announce in his Prospectus for the new 
year—1859—that all the old popular and eminent writers of the 
LEDGER staff have been retained, and new odes a< ded. 
Among the latter we are pleased to mention the name of the 
Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, who is to furnish a series of arti 
cles, to be continued during the entire year, under the title of 
“THE MOUNT VERNON PAPERS.” For these articles 
alone we have already paid Mr. Everett (for the benefit of the 
Ladies’ Mount Vernon Association) the sum of TEN THOU¬ 
SAND DOLLARS. 
As an indication of the popularity of the LEDGER, w e need 
only state the simple fact that its circulation is larger than that 
of any other TEN literary papers in the country. Its great suc¬ 
cess is owing to the facts that its proprietor secures the best 
writers in the country, and spares no expense in getting up the 
BEST FAMILY PAPER—a paper of high moral tone. The 
exalted reputation of its contributors, the practical and invaria¬ 
bly pure and healthy character of all its articles, the care which 
is taken that not. even one offensive word shall appear in its 
columns, and the superiority of its tales and sketches, have 
gained for the NEW-YORK LEDGER a position that no liter¬ 
ary paper has ever before reached. We feel, and always have 
felt, since the LEDGER attained its immense circulation that 
a heavy responsibility rests upon us. and have endeavored to dis¬ 
charge that responsibility Conscientiously, feeling confident that 
ultimately we should receive the thanks of thousands and tens 
of thousands of families. 
As to the future, we are at a loss what to say. We prefer to 
perform rather than to promise. What we have heretofore 
done is known to our readers; they know what the LEDGER 
has been, and is now, and must therefore judge what it will be 
hereafter. We can only say that among the regular contributors 
to the LEDGER are

THE BEST IS THE CHEAPEST. 
This SALERATUS should be 
found in the culinary department of 
every house in this land. Its unques¬ 
tionable purity, and excellence in 
producing Good Bread, must bring 
it into general use. The wide-spread 
repul at ion it has already gained is 
the result of real merit,, and shows 
the abiiitA of the American People to 
discriminate in favor of a wholesome 
article* 
there are thousands of sufferers 
from dyspepsia, decayed teeth, and 
oilier derangements of the svsiem, 
brought on by the use ol common 
Caustic Saleratus. It is a sad spec¬ 
tacle. too. to look upon the “puny- 
faced chi id” of the present c ay, with¬ 
out, constitution, and with iis teeth 
all eaten out. and think cf the cause 
being impurities in food. 
How much longer, good mothers , is 
this state ofthings t^> last ? Ask for 
JAMES PYLE’S

which is FREE FROM EVERY IMPURI¬

No doubt, he will tell yon it is no bet¬

of his old stock, or som-thing on 
which he can realise larger profit; 
but persevere until vou get it, and
