Exchanges.

NEWSPAPERS usually value very highly their list of exchanges. We do ours. Such enterprising and valuable journals as The Independent, The Methodist, The Christian at Work, and a multitude of others which come to us week by week are appreciated.

But we wish now to speak of another kind of exchanges, exchanges not confined to publishers, but such as all our readers may furnish us. From publishers we receive in return for our paper, paper for paper, during the fifty-two weeks of the year. With our readers we propose to do better. We ask of them only one paper in exchange for the REVIEW. A whole year's numbers of the REVIEW for only one copy of a paper in return! Is not this liberal?

And this paper which we ask in exchange for the REVIEW is not a large one. It is only about three inches by six, consists of only one leaf, is printed on both sides, but not very elaborately. Everybody has seen this paper, and most people have more or less copies of it by them. The back is usually printed in green, and the face contains but little matter, and that can be very quickly read. It consists chiefly of a promise on the part of the United States of America to pay the bearer two dollars. They are nice little papers, and we prize them so highly that it matters not to us if they all read precisely alike. In this case we are willing to see the same matter over and over again. We would like to have every reader of the REVIEW send in his little paper marked with the figure 2, in exchange for the REVIEW.

But if our readers do not like to send in so many of these single papers, we would remind them that they can exchange them at the post-office for a paper worth from 5 to 50 dollars, called a money order, or at the bank for another, in the form of a draft, worth from 5 to 100 dollars or more, which will do just as well, and even better. So send on the exchanges.
