What Subscribers say about 
the Cliromos. 
We have a large number of letters from sub¬ 
scribers who have received the Cliromos, ex¬ 
pressing- their delight in the possession of these 
beautiful pictures. We give below extracts 
from a few of these letters. The Cliromos are 
being delivered as rapidly as possible. 
“ Your beautiful Chromo, ‘ Mischief Brewing, 1 arrived 
safely by mail. I think it must be admired wherever seen, 
it is so truly excellent.” 
“Your Cliromos 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 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 liuest gift Chromo that I have 
seen (and 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 my wife 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 so 
many homes with this ‘tiling 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.” 
“Your 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 U this day received, and gives the coin- 
pletest satisfaction. There were three or four gentlemen in 
ttie hank when the picture was exhibited, and ail 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 as 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 tills, only for want of lime. We and 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?’ 
Beceive 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 
commenced brewing mischief, in that no one could properly 
attend to their work for looking at the Chromo.” 
“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,’ for the pretty flushed face 
tells 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 add to your labor by even 
reading this note, and I at first thought I would not do it. 
But I telt so mean to receive two sucli 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 forgive me for the time it 
takes yon to read this, and the thanks I send with theirs 
for the splendid presents. ‘ Truly a thing of beauty is a joy 
forever.’ ” 
“The premium yon give 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,’ and 
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 price for it, $3.00.” 
“ Your Chromos are by far the best sent to tills place by 
any publisher. So say all.” 
“I received the new Chromo sent last week, for which 
you will please accept my thanks. I think it is a perfect 
beauty. Every one 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 is a fine thing, and the wonder is, at the 
rate Cliromos are selling, even in New York, that you 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 
he 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 papers. Hearth 
andmome and Agriculturist, in our estimation, are ahead 
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 really up to and 
beyond your description of it. W T e 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 toid. 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 beautif 1 Chromo which arrived yesterday. We 
have taken your excellent paper more than thirty years, 
and in every case have derived many times its subscription 
price in positive benefit. The picture I shall consider as a 
g ft 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 hut the matured mischief-makers of 
the picture. With many thunks, I am.” 
“I am bound to acknowledge reception of my beautiful 
Chromos. ‘ Mischief Brewing' came to hand several weeks 
sine", ‘ Strawberry Giii ’ the past week—both in good con¬ 
dition. I am delighted wi ll them; the best present I have 
received la a li.e-time. Many thanks.” 
"Please accept my thanks for yom- beamiful Chromos, 
‘Strawberry Girl’ and ‘Mischief Brewing,’ as premiums to 
the Hearth and Hume and American Agriculturist. They 
are certainly very handsome.” 
“I received the Chromo, ‘ Mischief Brewing,’ on the 8th 
lust. It has surpassed my expectations, being a gem of it3 
kind.” 
“ The beautiful Chromo, ‘ The Strawberry Girl,’ arrived in 
good order, and please* us all; even our nine-months-old 
baby crows with delight when he secs her sweet lace.” 
“The two Chromos came to us in good condition. We 
think ihem very fine, and thank you for the pleasure we 
enjoy in looking at them.” 
“ It is a lovely picture, and I thank you for It.”

this afternoon. I am very much pleased witli it, and thank 
you most heartily.”

Agriculturist with Hearth and Home, wnd thus have se¬ 
cured, at your liberal terms, another good paper and another 
nice picture.”

and we wish to thank you for them. Not only are the pic¬ 
tures very beautiful and satisfactory, hut all the family have 
become more interested in pictures of all kinds. We like 
both papers very much indeed.” 
“ I received the Hearth and Home Chromo, and am moro 
than pleased with it. As I am an old bach., and d® my own 
work out-doors and in, the picture will he a great ernament 
to my old shanty. I have been a subscriber to the Hearth 
and Home since you took charge of it and the Agriculturist 
since 1800. They are all the papers I take. I would sooner 
live on short rations than do without them." 
“It is a very beautiful picture, and worth mo’’! than the
