Conduct of life -- Juvenile fiction; Railroad stories
“A nautical story of adventure and endurance, written to delineate
the upward progress of a boy whose moral attributes were of the
lowest order, in consequence of neglected education, but in whom high
religious principles were afterwards developed.”--_Notices of the
Press._
HOPE AND HAVE; or, Fanny Grant among the Indians. $1.25.
“This is a story of Western adventure and of peril among the Indians,
and contains the experience of Fanny Grant, who, from a very naughty
girl, became a very good one, by the influence of a pure and beautiful
example exhibited by an erring child, in the hour of her greatest
wandering from the path of virtue.”--_Philadelphia Age._
HASTE AND WASTE; or, The Young Pilot of Lake Champlain. $1.25.
“This is a story of boyish daring and integrity upon Lake Champlain,
and older heads than those of sixteen may read and profit by it.”
The stories in the “Woodville” series are hinged together only so far
as the same characters have been retained in each.
Sold by all booksellers, and sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of

OLIVER OPTIC’S BOOKS.
THE BOAT CLUB SERIES.
A library for Young People. Each volume illustrated. In sets or
separate.
THE BOAT CLUB; or, the Bunkers of Rippleton. $1.25.
“One noticeable feature of this author’s books is their purity. Not a
line is to be found in any work of his but what will tend to elevate
and purify the mind of the boy or girl who may peruse it.”
ALL ABOARD; or, Life on the Lake. $1.25.
“ALL ABOARD” was written to gratify the reasonable curiosity of the
readers of the “_Boat Club_,” to know what occurred at Woodlake
during the second season; and though it is a sequel, it has no direct
connection with its predecessor. The Introduction in the first chapter
contains a brief synopsis of the principal events of the first season;
so that those who have not read the “_Boat Club_” will labor under no
disadvantage on that account.
NOW OR NEVER; or, the Adventures of Bobby Bright. $1.25.
The author has been for many years a successful teacher in one of the
Boston Public Schools, and the knowledge of youthful character thus
obtained has been used to good advantage in his works.
TRY AGAIN; or, the Trials and Triumphs of Harry West. $1.25.
The story of Harry West is a record of youthful experience designed
to illustrate the necessity and the results of perseverance in well
doing. The true success of life is the attainment of a pure and exalted
character; and he who at three-score-and-ten has won nothing but wealth
and a name, has failed to achieve the noblest purpose of his being.
This is the moral of the story contained in this volume.
LITTLE BY LITTLE; or, the Cruise of the Flyway. $1.25.
