_Beautiful and novel New Cover. Only Fifty Cents a year._ =PROSPECTUS--OUR LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN--FOR 1886.= This magazine, for youngest readers, has earned golden gratitude from teachers and parents this past year. While its short stories and beautiful pictures have made it welcome everywhere as a general Magazine for Little Folks, its series of instructive articles have rendered it of unrivalled value to educators. For 1886 several specialties have been prepared in accordance with the suggestions of teachers who wish to start their "little primaries" in the lines on which older brothers and sisters are being taught. As a beginning in American History, there will be twelve charming chapters about =THE ADVENTURES OF COLUMBUS.= This story of the Great Discoverer, while historically correct and valuable, will be perfectly adapted to young minds and fitted to take hold upon a child's attention and memory; many pictures. =LITTLE TALKS ABOUT INSECT LIFE= will interest the children in one branch of Natural History; with anecdotes and pictures. =OUR COLORADO PETS= will describe wild creatures little known to children in general. These twelve stories all are true, and are full of life and adventure; each will be illustrated. ="ME AND MY DOLLS"= is a "cunning little serial story," written for American children by the popular English author, Miss L. T. Meade. It will have Twelve Full-page Pictures by Margaret Johnson. From time to time fresh "Stories about Favorite Authors" will be given, so that teachers and friends may have material for little literature lessons suited to young children. _Seventy-five Full-page Pictures. Only $1.00 a year._ =PROSPECTUS--THE PANSY--FOR 1886.= For both week-day and Sunday reading, THE PANSY, edited by "Pansy" herself, holds the first place in the hearts of the children, and in the approval of earnest-minded parents. Among the more interesting features for 1886 will be Pansy's serial story, =REACHING OUT,= being a further account of "Little Fishers: and their Nets." The Golden Text Stories, under the title, "Six O'clock in the Evening," will be told by a dear old Grandma, who knows many interesting things about what happened to herself when she was a little girl. Margaret Sidney will furnish a charming story, =ST. GEORGE AND THE DRAGON,= to run through the year. Rev. C. M. Livingston will tell stories of discoveries, inventions, books, people, places. Faye Huntington will be a regular contributor during the year. Pansy will take the readers with her wherever she goes, in papers under the title of =WHERE I WENT, AND WHAT I SAW.=
