"The four rules are over my writing-desk and in my heart. Every school boy and girl of age to understand it should have this story, and, if I was rich enough, should have it."--_Extract from a letter by an unknown correspondent._ =MRS. MERRIAM'S SCHOLARS.= A Story of the "Original Ten." 16mo. $1.00. "It is almost inevitable that such a book as 'Ten Times One is Ten' should suggest others in the same line of thought; and Mr. Hale begins in 'Mrs. Merriam's Scholars' to take up a few of what he terms the 'dropped stitches' of the narrative. The story is exceedingly simple, so far as concerns its essentials, and carries the reader forward with an interest in its motive which Mr. Hale seldom fails to impart to his writings.... The two already published should be in every Sunday-school library, and, indeed, wherever they will be likely to fall into the hands of appreciative readers." =HIS LEVEL BEST.= 16mo. $1.25. "We like Mr. Hale's style. He is fresh, frank, pungent, straightforward, and pointed. The first story is the one that gives the book its title, and it is related in a dignified manner, showing peculiar genius and humorous talent. The contents are, 'His Level Best,' 'The Brick Moon,' 'Water Talk,' 'Mouse and Lion,' 'The Modern Sinbad,' 'A Tale of a Salamander.'"--_Philadelphia Exchange._ =GONE TO TEXAS=; or, The Wonderful Adventures of a Pullman. 16mo. $1.00. "There are few books of travel which combine in a romance of true love so many touches of the real life of many people, in glimpses of happy homes, in pictures of scenery and sunset, as the beautiful panorama unrolled before us from the windows of this Pullman car. The book is crisp and bright, and has a pleasant flavor; and whatever is lovely in the spirit of its author, or of good report in his name, one may look here and find promise of both fulfilled."--_Exchange._ =WHAT CAREER?= or, The Choice of a Vocation and the Use of Time. 16mo. $1.25. "'What Career?' is a book which will do anybody good to read; especially is it a profitable book for young men to 'read, mark, and inwardly digest.' Mr. Hale seems to know what young men need, and here he gives them the result of his large experience and careful observation. A list of the subjects treated in this little volume will sufficiently indicate its scope: (1) The Leaders Lead; (2) The Specialties; (3) Noblesse Oblige; (4) The Mind's Maximum; (5) A Theological Seminary; (6) Character; (7) Responsibilities of Young Men; (8) Study Outside School; (9) The Training of Men; (10) Exercise."--_Watchman._ =UPS AND DOWNS.= An Every-Day Novel. 16mo. $1.50.
