FORM OF A BEQUEST.
“I bequeath to my executor (or executors) the sum of —— dollars, in trust, to pay the same in —— days after my decease to the person who, when the same is payable, shall act as Treasurer of the ‘American Missionary Association’ of New York City, to be applied, under the direction of the Executive Committee of the Association, to its charitable uses and purposes.” The Will should be attested by three witnesses.
AIM AND WORK.
To preach the Gospel to the poor. It originated in a sympathy with the almost friendless slaves. Since Emancipation it has devoted its main efforts to preparing the Freedmen for their duties as citizens and Christians in America, and as missionaries in Africa. As closely related to this, it seeks to benefit the caste-persecuted Chinese in America, and to co-operate with the Government in its humane and Christian policy toward the Indians.

THE CENTURY
AND
ST. NICHOLAS.
A little more than a year ago the magazine which is now known as The Century passed a critical point in its history. Three important things happened to it: a change in its own name, a change in the name of the corporation publishing it, and the death of the editor-in-chief, Dr. J. G. Holland. Probably no such combination of circumstances had ever come to any periodical, and people watched with no little interest to see what would be the result. The change in name began with the November number, and the death of Dr. Holland came just before its issue. By reason of the great excellence of this number and its broad, popular features, its sale reached 137,500 copies, the average edition during the preceding twelve months having been 120,000. The following number, December, was a memorial issue to President Garfield and Dr. Holland; its sale was almost as great, and the increased demand has largely continued through the year. The November number (1882) just issued has an edition of 140,000 copies. The reasons of this growth are various; but they may be, for the most part, ascribed to the fact that the resources of literature and art have been constantly augmenting and that a gradual improvement has been going on, which has resulted in the issue of what the Providence Journal, speaking of The Century Magazine, calls “the most able and valuable publication ever put forth in magazine form.” Among its special features for 1883, “The History of Life in the Thirteen Colonies,” a series of separate papers by Dr. Edward Eggleston, just begun, to be richly and accurately illustrated, is alone worth the subscription price. Washington Gladden’s realistic serial, entitled “The Christian League of Connecticut,” is attracting wide attention among business men interested in Christian work. Henry James, Jr., Alphonse Daudet, Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, Charles Dudley Warner, “H. H.,” T. W. Higginson and Frank R. Stockton are among the contributors, and from them and from other distinguished writers will come the material for another brilliant year of The Century. Mr. W. D. Howell’s new novel, “A Woman’s Reason,” will begin in the February number.
There is another magazine published by The Century Co., which in the field of children’s literature occupies the same place that The Century fills in the grown-up world. It is St. Nicholas, now just beginning its tenth year, a magazine of which the London Times said a year ago: “It is above anything we produce in the same line.” It is a theory of the editor, Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, that there is nothing too good for children, and the boys and girls who read St. Nicholas are really getting the very best writing and the finest pictures that can be had. Its circulation is worldwide. In England, where it has had a large monthly sale for several years, six copies are said to be taken in the household of the Prince of Wales. The Queen of Italy reads it every month to her children. A book was recently issued in the Arabic language, and printed at Beirut, Syria, made up of poems and stories translated from St. Nicholas, enriched with the original pictures, loaned by the publishers for that purpose. This year the magazine is to have a serial story by J. T. Trowbridge, one of the most popular writers for boys in the world, and another by Frank R. Stockton—a historical novelette of boy and girl life in the thirteenth century—which the Springfield Republican has already predicted “will prove easily the best story of the year for the young.” St. Nicholas contains eighty or more pages every month, with from fifty to a hundred pictures; the best writers of two continents are educating the young folks who read it.
The Century costs $4.00 a year, and St. Nicholas $3.00. Special offers are made to new subscribers beginning with the November numbers. For further information and a handsomely illustrated 24-page pamphlet describing the magazines and their new home (sent free to persons mentioning this magazine), address the publishers.

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.

No Christian family can afford to be without missionary intelligence, and no missionary society can afford to be without readers of its publications; it had better give them to the readers without pay than to have no readers. Missionary zeal will die in the churches without missionary intelligence.
But it would be far better for both the societies and the readers if missionary news were paid for. This would give the magazine attentive perusal and the society relief from the reproach of a large expense for publication. Missionary publications should be put on a paying basis. Aside from a free list to life members, ministers, etc., the cost of publication should be made up by paying subscribers and advertisements.
We are anxious to put the American Missionary on this basis. We intend to make it worth its price, and we ask our patrons to aid us:
1. More of our readers can take pains to send us either the moderate subscription price (50 cents), or $1.00, naming a friend to whom we may send a second copy.
2. A special friend in each church can secure subscribers at club-rates (12 copies for $5 or 25 copies for $10).
3. Business men can benefit themselves by advertising in a periodical that has a circulation of over 20,000 copies monthly and that goes to many of the best men and families in the land. Will not our friends aid us to make this plan a success?
Subscriptions and advertisements should be sent to H. W. Hubbard, Treasurer, 56 Reade st., New York, N.Y.
