ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.
A limited space in our Magazine is devoted to Advertisements, for
which our low rates and large circulation make its pages specially
valuable. Our readers are among the best in the country, having an
established character for integrity and thrift that constitute them
valued customers in all departments of business.
To Advertisers using display type and Cuts, who are accustomed
to the “RULES” of the best Newspapers, requiring “DOUBLE RATES”
for these “LUXURIES,” our wide pages, fine paper, and superior
printing, with =no extra charge for cuts=, are advantages readily
appreciated, and which add greatly to the appearance and effect of
business announcements.
We are, thus far, gratified with the success of this department,
and solicit orders from all who have unexceptionable wares to
advertise.
Advertisements must be received by the TENTH of the month, in order
to secure insertion in the following number. All communications in
relation to advertising should be addressed to

Transcriber’s Notes:
Punctuation and spelling were changed only where the error appears
to be a printing error. Inconsistent hyphenation was retained
as there are numerous authors. The punctuation changes are too
numerous to list; the others are as follows:
“Theoogical” changed to “Theological” on page 273 (a student from
the Theological Department).
“brethern” changed to “brethren” on page 281 (whether our Chinese
brethren).
Extra “(” removed from before COOPER INSTITUTE, NEW YORK CITY on
page 288.
