A TRIAL TRIP ! 
flow to Save Postage Next Year. 
The Bubal New-Yorker recently entered 
upon the Fall Term of its Twenty-Fifth Year,— 
and, In order to close its first quarter of a cen¬ 
tury properly and trot a good send-off for its 
next annual voyage, proposes to make it an 
object for at IcaBt ten thousand persons to take 
a Trial Trip on board the stanch old craft. 
Please listen to our propositions: 
1 . The Thirteen Numbers of the Rural's 
closing Quarter for 1874 -Oct. 1 to Dec. 31 will 
be sent, on Trial, for Onlv Fifty Cents, to the 
address of any person In the United States 
whose remittance Is received before Nov. 1 . 
3. To all whose subscriptions for 1875 (whether 
singly at $2.V} per copy, or in clubs at $3,) arc 
remitted previous to Dec. 1,1871. wo will send 
the Rural for the ensuing year free of p istagc, 
or prepay the postage under the now law. All 
subscribing after Dec. 1 will be charged 15 cents 
extra for postage-so that those rcmittlngearly 
wall anvo that amount. 
Agents, Subscribers and other friends of 
Moore’s Rural are earnestly invited to make

ence to render the Trial Trip a success.
