But the world moves, and GOLDEN DAYS was the pioneer in recognizing that young people have tastes that must be consulted, if it is sought to interest and amuse them. They will absorb knowledge, as a sponge does water; but they will discriminate, as a sponge does not. A scientific article can be as interesting as a novel, and yet be as full of instruction as an egg is of meat; stories may point a moral unerringly and yet thrill with romantic adventure, like Robinson Crusoe; natural history teems with wonders far surpassing the Arabian Nights, and they are all true! These are the principles upon which GOLDEN DAYS is founded, and from which it has never deviated; and that is why it is to-day the most popular juvenile paper in the world. Do you wonder why? There is no mystery about its popularity. Its broad and generous pages, coming every week all the year round, contain more reading than any other periodical in America. That is one reason; but the other and better reason is, that all the reading is just what the boys and girls want. To keep GOLDEN DAYS up to this standard, to make it bright, breezy and abreast with the times, requires writers who understand boy-and-girl nature; and it has them. Every regular number of GOLDEN DAYS contains liberal instalments of *Four Serials, together with Stories of Adventure, Articles on Science and Natural History, Our Letter Box, Puzzles, Humorous Miscellany, Illustrated Sketches,* and other interesting matter, and there is not a dull or common-place line from the first page to the last. * * * * * Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.
