All lovers of refined humor and satire, from pen and pencil, will unite in wishing it a long and prosperous life.—Norristown Herald. Lire, of New York city, is one of the best humorous publications in the country, and is now an assured Success, Its writings—always original—are sparkling and witty. The cuts publ on the inside of this paper are taken from LiFE.—Rochester Sunday Herald. OF Lire the New York correspondent of the Albany Express says its one of the, sharpest and finest in the metropolis, and was brought quickly into popular liking by several Harvard men. The cartoons which appear in LiFe are almost invariably drawn with artistic skill, and are inspired by keen humor. The small pictorial sketches in this journal have never been surpassed in our comic newpapers, and are as striking, perhaps, as the famous Du Maurier sketches. Rochester Morning Herald. New York Lire has just closed the first volume, and taken a long breath before starting another. Lire has taken its place away up on the top shelf of humorous literature ever since its initial number, and for clean, refined, kindly wit and telling satire it has taken all’ the gingerbread there was on the platter and sent a small boy off to the corner grocery for more, LiFe is a healthful antidote to the vulgar humor or humorous vulgarity that is now banging its banners on the outer news stands, and if LiFe ever wants any favors from ‘* Chaf/” we will insert them next to pure reading matter, top of column, tf.— Detroit Chaff. We hope that the new periodical, Lire, will be able to prefix the word “long” to its title. "It is an effort in a new field; an attempt to from the Dutch comedian coarseness of our national humor to the Joe Jefferson refinement. The word “ comic’ has become an eyesore to the body of American culture. It is a masque of coarseness and extra- vagance. It can deal only with spring cleanings, banana peels and stove-pipe perplexities. The new weekly strives for something better. It has made yj its mind—and it has one—that all the humor of life is not confined to the back kitchen. It is an effort— a something which will be at once clean, bright and intelligent. It is a light, ful, ironical comment on the world of life and literature. We hope it will succeed. It most certainly deserves to.—Denver Tribune.
