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.

The Independent,

No. 251 Broadway, New York.

"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 _Athenæum_ 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.
