Among the new issues in the regular library form are the issues in the THROUGH THE YEAR WITH THE POETS Series, one of the choicest collections of poetry upon special themes ever made in this country: WITH REED AND LYRE, Clinton Scollard’s charming collection of poems; the enlarged edition of the poems of James Berry Bensel; Willis Boyd Allen’s SILVER RAGS, the second issue in the PINE CONE Series; Miss Ryder’s HOLD UP YOUR HEADS, GIRLS! and a very remarkable volume of sermons by the Rev. Reuen Thomas, under the title of DIVINE SOVEREIGNTY. Besides these there are two new “Wonder Stories” forming additional volumes in the series of that name; the first volume being devoted to stories of history and the second to those of travel. Hosts of young readers will remember PLUCKY BOYS, which had such a popularity a year ago. This year the publishers bring out a companion volume, BRAVE GIRLS, which will be every whit as popular. There is announced, too, a new story by Joaquin Miller, called “The Gold Miners of the Sierras;” an entertaining volume called FOREIGN FACTS AND FANCIES, and a collection of STORIES OF DANGER AND ADVENTURE. The books of permanent and educational value for young folks include, STORIES FROM AMERICAN HISTORY, by Pansy; REAL FAIRY FOLKS; MY LAND AND WATER FRIENDS, by Mary E. Bamford; NELLY MARLOW IN WASHINGTON, by Laura D. Nichols, chronicling the wonders of Chemistry; THE STORY BOOK OF SCIENCE, by Mrs. Lydia Hoyt Farmer; STORIES OF FOREIGN LANDS, by Pansy; and ADVENTURES OF COLUMBUS, by Mrs. F. A. Humphrey; while for their entertainment there are Pansy’s SUNDAY BOOK, THE ADVENTURES OF ANN (a colonial story), by Mary E. Wilkins; TWO MODERN PRINCES IN THE TOWER, by Margaret Sidney; POLLY, an illustrated quarto also by Margaret Sidney, and the great GOLDEN YEAR quarto of short stories. All are beautifully illustrated and attractively and strongly bound. /* =The Greatest of Our Special Announcements!= The success which has attended our offer of WIDE AWAKE to clubs at reduced prices has been so great that we have decided to give the former _wholesale_ price to EVERYBODY! =$2.40 a year= _From this date Subscriptions to_ WIDE AWAKE _for 1887 will be received at the net price of only_ =$2.40= =$2.40 a year= The magazine will be somewhat enlarged and improved in every particular—only an enormous increase in circulation making possible the _wholesale_ reduction in price which is announced above. =D.
