The New York Tribune says: ** It is an admirablo little periodical,
lively, entertaining, instructive, unexceptionable in tone, charm
ingly printed, and altogether one of the best, as it is one uf tho
most popular child’s papers in America. There is no reason why
the second year should not close with a list of seventy thousand

Forney’s Philadelphia Daily Drat says of it: “ The Little Cor
poral is destined to become the great children’s paper in America.’
Every number Is, if possible, an improvement on its prede
cessors.— The Northwat. ,

Our beautiful Premium. Picture. “ Thb Hbayexly Chbrcbs, from
Raphael s Sistine Madonna," is ready.
This picture has been eugraved at great expense, specially for
Ihz Little Corporal, and is one of the best-engravings ever pro
duced in this country, The Bank Note Company who produced it,
say they would not duplicate it for less than two thousand dollars,
it excels the German engraving of Steinla’s, which sells for $3 per
copy. Our price is $2. For a short time we shall offer it as a pre
mium as follows:
We will send the picture of The Heavenly Cherubs to every sub
scriber who will renew his own subscription to The Corporal for

the reguiar price of one dollar a year. Or to every one who will
send three new subscribers at one time. The pictures will be sent on
rollers, postage paid.
As an inducement for persons to subscribe note, and thus help you
get the picture, you may tell them that all who subscribe thus will
not only receive The Corporal all next year but will receive the re
maimng numbers of the year 1866 free.
. believe this to be the most liberal offer ever made by any per
iodical for so small an effort. We have several reasons for making
it, one is, that we want all The Corporal’s children to have this
superb engraving; another is, that we want our now names for next
