The Unprecedented Success

Of this ably conducted and handsomely printed Family Newspaper has
induced the Proprietor to make such outlays as to render the
"FLAG,' the most worthy of patronage of any periodical in the
United States-a reputation, indeed, which it has already
acquired among the many who have been so fortunate as

to obtain it. To substantiate this fact fully in the
minds of all, we have only to state that it has
already acquired a circulation of

36,000.

And it is now increasing in the ratio of at least FIVE HUNDRED per week. This circulation has not been obtained by any extra exertions, but it is to be attributed solely to the appreciation of the paper in the minds of an enlightened and intelligent community.

ORIGINAL $100 PRIZE TALES, from the pens of the most popular authors of the day, will always form an attractive feature of the paper. All the Dramatic and Musical News, together with the general intelligence of the day, and an almost endless variety of items on all subjects,-ALSO Grave, Gay, Satirical, Comic and Sentimental, combined, to make it a paper calculated to suit every one.

TERMS, TWO DOLLARS per annum, or ONE DOLLAR for six months, invariably in advance.

Those in the country who wish to become subscribers to the 'FLAG,' by enclosing the amount of subscription in a letter (post paid) to either of the above places, may depend upon receiving their paper regularly every week, and in due time.

The FLAG,' may also be obtained at all the Periodical Depots in the United States, and of Newsmen, at FOUR CENTS per copy.

P. S. If the reader of this should have been so unfortunate as not to have seen this Model of Newspapers, and should wish to do so before subscribing, can be gratified by enclosing us a five cent piece, directed (post paid,) to either of the above places

F. GLEASON, PROPRIETOR.

LOVE AND HATE.
