[Illustration: THE RISING SUN STOVE POLISH]
For beauty of gloss, for saving of toil,
For freeness from dust and slowness to soil,
And also for cheapness 'tis yet unsurpassed,
And thousands of merchants are selling it fast.
Of all imitations 'tis well to beware;
The half risen sun every package should bear,
For this is the "trade mark" the MORSE BROS. use,
And none are permitted the mark to abuse.

"One of the ablest weeklies in existence."--_Pall Mall Gazette,
London._
In its thirty-sixth year of publication THE INDEPENDENT stands easily
at the head of religious and literary weekly newspapers wherever
published. Being undenominational, it has the opportunity offered it
to present to its readers discussions upon all religious questions,
many clergymen and laymen seeking its pages for a freer and fuller
discussion than any denominational paper will grant. Having
thirty-two folio pages, it has space to give all the important
religious intelligence; and to aid it in doing so, it has paid corps
of correspondents scattered all over the world. The matter of expense
is not considered in its aim to give its readers the most valuable
discussions and most trustworthy facts by the ablest and most popular
writers.
For thirty years past the design of THE INDEPENDENT has been to
publish the ablest and best family paper in the world, and it now
occupies that position. Aside from the religious element of THE
INDEPENDENT, its literary attractiveness is unequaled. A glance at
the names of our general contributors, which will be sent to any
address upon application, will convince any one that the literary
merit of THE INDEPENDENT is of the first class. Its department
devoted to book reviews is probably better and fuller than can be
found in this country, and is only equaled by that of the _Academy_
and _Athenaeum_ of London.
It has altogether twenty-two different departments, nearly all of
which are edited by or contributed to by specialists. These
departments are: Editorials, Fine Arts, Music, Science, Religious
Intelligence, Missions, School and College, News of the Week, Hymn
Notes, the Sunday-school, Legal, Sanitary, Pebbles, Biblical
Research, Farm and Garden, Insurance, Weekly Market Reports,
Financial and Commercial, Dry Goods, Dry Goods Quotations,
Personalities.
THE INDEPENDENT has thirty-two pages; the other weeklies have from
twelve to, not over, twenty-four. At $3.00 per year--its subscription
price--THE INDEPENDENT costs about six cents per week, which almost
any person or family in the United States can well afford for a paper
which gives them such wonderful returns. The cost each week for
contributed articles alone ranges from $250.00 to $800.00, which is
probably two or three times as great as that expended by any similar
weekly religious paper in the country.
THE INDEPENDENT rigidly excludes from its advertising columns
advertisements of a doubtful character, or any by which, in the
opinion of its managers, subscribers might not receive an equivalent
for their money. In consequence, its advertising columns are sought
after by the very best class of advertisers, to the satisfaction both
of the advertiser and subscriber.
THE INDEPENDENT ought, because of its merit alone, to be taken by at
least 100,000 more people than now subscribe for it, and if any
person who sees this advertisement would like to make its
acquaintance, he can do so by sending a postal-card request for a
free specimen copy; or, if he prefers, he can subscribe for any
length of time from one month up to five years, as per rates below.
During the past year THE INDEPENDENT, desiring that its subscribers
should have stories by the very best living authors, has published
contributions from W. E. Norris, author of "Matrimony," "No New
Thing," etc.; J. S. of Dale, author of "Guerndale," "The Crime of
Henry Vane," etc.: Julia Schayer, author of "Tiger Lily and Other
Stories"; Sir Samuel W. Baker, the Celebrated Egyptian Explorer; Mrs.
J. H. Riddell, author of "The Senior Partner," etc.; Thomas Hardy,
author of "A Pair of Blue Eyes," "Two on a Tower," etc.; Edward
Everett Hale, author of "Ten Times One is Ten," etc.; James Payn, the
celebrated English novelist; Lucy C. Lillie, F. W. Robinson, Fred. D.
Storey, Henry W. Lucy, Harriet Prescott Spofford, Rebecca Harding
Davis, Sarah Orne Jewett, Frank R. Stockton, H. H. Boyesen, Ivan
Tourgeneff, and others.
The same general policy of providing original stories by the foremost
living authors will be maintained.
