It is the one paper so.- every home. Its forty j columns of reading matter per week constitute an uiiparalble l Conservatory of thv Entertaining, and its novels, miscellaneous tales, beautie- of verse, Gossip, Feuilletons broad-ides of humor, and polished editorials, combine to .epitomiz • all the charms of wit and sentiment!

Public opinion has long since pronounced them superior to any other novelettes published on this side of the Atlantic; and the true test of their merit is found in the fact that they areeargerly reproduced, after their publication in the Mercury, by th’e English press. We may add that the new talc Victoria, is fully equal in interest and depth of p’ot to either of those* which have secured so ' large a share of public approval, and we can > earnestly reemnmed it to all story readers The Mercury is sol by all newsmen and p«- > riodical dealers in America. 3’o subscribers, it . is regularly mailed every Satuaday morning, for $2 a year; three conic s for $5; six copies for 9: eight copies for 12, with an ex'racopy free to the getter up of the club.
