To Dr. Harlich's Agent Sir: I wish to stale for
the benefit of thre who may be ulllicted, that Dr.
Harlich's Pills have entirely rurid mc of Dys
pepsia, of w hich 1 have been ofll cted for many
years. I used both kinds, the Aerient and (Strength
ening, and I am constrsineJ lo sny, that thry ate a
valuable discovery, and act upon the system mildly,
but very t ffectually. I found the Tonic pills to
quicken the circulation and cause a determination
to the surface, aed to e treugthen the wck stomach
and increase its powers. The Aerieni pills are the
best cathartic I ever used. I am confident all Dye

FOUR THOUSAND NEW 8UUSCRIUERS
IN TWO MON I'HSl !!
Wiir.tr we first purchased the old an I well
known establishment of t' e
Saturday CvciiIiik losf,
we sta ed that the par ciiculated so widely a
mong the iteady, reading portion of ihe United
States, that we entered upon our h burs with full
confidence of tho future. Our success has sinie
licen beyond our most sanguine exjiectation, as our
weekly rtceipts overbalance those of any cotenipo
tary aptr. Our list has continued to swell up,
with unexampled rapidity, and we have ihe confi
dence, that at the present rote of increasf, we shall
be enabled in a few months to boast of more than
35,000 subscribers! When we commenced our
labors, we announced distinctly , that ihe tone of the
paper should be decidedly moral, and that nothing
shou d be admitted into our columns, which the
most fjs:i, lions father could disapprove of, and de
term lud that as an approved Family Paper, it
should not contain a paragraph, with ihe spirit of
which a parent would not wish to have a daughter
familiar, and we therefore, with this view, announ
ced that no theatrical notices should appear in our
columns, and that we should lie opposed lo theatres
as things calculated to injure the healthy action of
an honest mind, as creative of exhibitions demo
ralmng in tendency, and fearfully pernicious in
fact. There were not wanting blusterers, who
made a great parade of opposition, and Croakers,
who predicted our speedy downfall, hut we threw
ourselves ueon the sober, rational and experienced
porli n nf the people of the United State; for sup
pint, and we have been nobly sus'iined.
We thought and expressed the opinion, that
however cureless many might be upon this ruliject,
that few, f ven if tt ey did not entirely disapprove
of such entertainments, cared about having the
gross details forever paraded before the eyes of
their children, and tho sickening and nauseating
eulopytfall kinds of characters made familiar to
their mindt.
We determined also, that while the paper con
tinued under our eontn I, it should bo strictly neu
tral in politics, and that as news and li erury jour
nalists wc bad nulhing to do with ihe milter ; this
dett rmit ation has been strictly and rigidly adhered
to, and w hile e shall continue to give our reiders
such public document as may be deemed of inte
rest to all, and audi a I istory of the progress nf
political events, as are strictly in keeping with our
duty, snd the chnraetei of the paptr, we shall stu
ilioualy and horuughly avoid any contamination of
par iz .n pol.ties.
1 he paper u now printed in a nrw and beauti

THIS Journal was established by the American
Silk Society, for the purpose of diffusing practical
information on the culture or silk in the United
States. It has now been published one year, and
may be considered a work of standard character.
The first year's publication, compiising the first
volume, containes a mast of valuable inloimslion,
and it will be the ot j cl of the editor to make
the second equal in all resprts, if not aupenoi, to
Ihe first. Tne important fuel is now csta' it shed be
yond any question, that the (teople of the United
States can make silk cheaper and better than
any other nation upon earth. It has been proved
by unimpeachable testimony, that the entire cost
of producing silk ready for tnuiket, docs not exceed
TWO DOLLARS ASD TWE5Tf-FIT CERTS PER
pot 5 ii, and its lowest value is roi'R hollars ard
rirrr cets; also, that osa acre of ground plant
ed in murut multicauli-t, will produce the first year
the tree are planted, rot'RTT-..iouT pounds op
silk, leaving a clear profit to the producer of omk
HuwnHr.n isn eiuht dollars! It has also been
proved that thechildien and females uf any farmer's
f iraily can, with the greate-t possible esse, produce
from fifty lo a hundred p unds of silk every yeir,
without any cost whatever to the rxiienses of the
farm after the trees arc planted; snd then fore, that
the whole amount of silk will be so much clear g .in,
siy from $225 lo $450. With these facts we sub
til. t to an intell gent people wether it is not a great
and important object for them to introduce the cul
ture of silk in every farmer's family in the Union.
To enable all our farmers to make si k, the 'Jouit
ralop Tin AiRtrx Silk Sicikti' was est ib
lished; it contains plain practical directions for ci'L-

business, either on a large or small scale. Every
friend of his Country, into wh se hands this paier
may full, will be doing a patriot and philanthropist's
work by inducing his friends and ueighlmuis to en

UN PA II A I. L E L E H S L'C CESS
1 PROSPECTUS i.p a rew Volime. The
great increase in the subscription list of ihe
Casket since the first of the ear, warrants the
most extensive improvements on the first of July
next at which lime a new volume w ill be com
menced with increased vigor. Nothing need lie
said of the firm basis on which the Casket stands,
it being already the oldest magazine iu Ihe country.
TYPE EM LIELLISHMEN TS.
The Ca-ket is printed with a cb ar and silvery
type, upon the finest white paper. The illustrations
are not surpassed by those of any periodical at
home or abroad ; and beside Ihe monthly steel en
gravings, a quarterly p ate of colored fashions has
lately been added. The style .)f these embellish
ments is unequalled, and they are always accom
panied with an appropriate sketch. No wood cuts
disgrace Ihe work. Whitever appears in the easkrt
is of the first order of the art.
LITERARY CHARACTER
The literary chavcter of the Ca-ket is well known.
It is wholly oriirn il. nf the lrghest order, mid
suslainei by WRITERS OF THE FIRST
RANK. Essay, Tales, Sketches, and Travels,
compose its prominent prose at lit les; while the
poetry is equalled by that of no other magazine of
like cliatacter. The variety for which the Ca ket
is celebrated, shall sulljr no diminution ; but on
the contrary, every exeition shall be made to in
crease its interest.
SEVERAL ROMANCES op the REVOLU
TION have already appealed, and others shall follow
in the couise of ilia volume, presenting when lit. tail
ed, a complete picture of the manner-, and a his
torical account of the great battles at that time.
Thus, the Ca-ket, instead of being filled with sickly
sentimentalities, aims at a true delineation of
human nature iu every variety of psssijn
TIME OF PUBLICATION.

distant suhsiibeis consequently receive it t n 1'iat

WITH multiplied resources for rendering the
New World more valuable than ever as
compendious newspaper and repository of elrg int
literaturr, we enter upon Ihe second volame (folio)
on the 24th of October, dressed in a beautiful gsrb
of nrto type, cast expressly for Ihe purpose. It
will therefore be a filling time to commence new
subscriptions, as welt as for the renewal of those
which may then expire,
During the first year of the existance of the
New Worlii, it haa acquired a reputation and
circulation superior to any weekly paper in the
country; and has furnished toils subscribers, during
that period, (besides a 1 the current news oflheday,
domestic and foreign) new and valuable works by
Talfourd, D'Israell, Thomas Moore, Mirs Mitford,
Mrs. Jameson, C. Dickens, Ainsworth, Knowles,
Bulwer, Mai ryat, and others works, which in Lon- (
don could not be purchased for fifty time the
amount of the subscription price of the New
World. In addition lo works of interest by these,
eminent authors, it has contained the cream of the
periodical literature of the day, as well as original ,
aiticles from the pens of some of the most popular
writers of America, among whom we may mention
Miss Sedgwick, Orville Dewey, Professor LongfeU
low, the author of "Yankee Notions," 8imms,

In po ittcks we shall, as hitherto, maintain on
armed neutrality. Our columns as heretofore will
be unobjectionable in a moral point of view. In
criticism we shall, in justice to the public, mantain
a perfect independence, even though we incur the
vengenee of all the dunces- We shall, in conclu
sion, earnestly strive to render our sheet not only
worthy of ihe unparalleled favour it has etperianced,
but of a continually extending circulation. While
we continue lo furnish with all possible promtitude
the most attractive liter ture of the day, we shall,
as our means enlarge, afford that compensation lo
native authors, which may induce them to m ke
tho New World the medium for presenting lo the
public their best produt tions. Our excellent Lon

tention will be paid to the comercial, agricultural
