By Mrs. E. PRENTISS, AUTHOR OF "STEPPING HEAVENWARD." Adapted to Girls from 12 to 16 years of Age. THE FLOWER OF THE FAMILY. A Book for Girls. 16mo, 400 pages, $1.50. "It aims to exact trivial home duty, by showing how such duty performed in the fear of God and the love of Christ may lead upward and onward through present self denial, to the highest usefulness, peace and joy." "Published more than seventeen years ago, it has continued to hold its place among the foremost books of its class. It is free from the objections which characterize too many of the modern story books prepared for the young. It is full of interest, without being sensational, and the standard of duty which it sets up is within the possible reach of all." Adapted to Children from 10 to 12 years of Age. THE PERCYS. 16mo, 350 pages, $1.25. "The Percys, originally published in the columns of the New York Observer and now first issued in book form, is a picture of a genial, happy Christian Home, saintly without being sanctimonious, heavenly without asceticism or formality; one too which, when it sorrows, 'is always rejoicing.'" Adapted to Children from 10 to 14 years of Age. ONLY A DANDELION, and other Stories. 18mo, 300 pages, $1.25.

Adapted to Children from 4 to 8 years of Age. PETERCHEN AND GRETCHEN: Translated from the German. 16mo, with Illustrations, $1.00.

Susy's Six Birthdays. Price per set, $2.50, or sold separately at 85 cts. each. "There is nothing in the way of story books for young children that will compare with the "Susy Books". Ask any mother of a family in which they have been placed, and she will make answer after this manner. No one but a mother could have written them, and the children never grow weary of Little Susy." THE LITTLE PREACHER. 18mo, 223 pp., $1.00. "A charming, loving, thoughtful book, in its style and in its lessons. Were it not that its title foretells us that it is by an American author, we should say that it was written in Germany. We commend it gladly to old as well as to young readers. It is rich in lessons of Divine Wisdom, as well as deeply interesting." Published by THE STORY LIZZIE TOLD. 2 Illustrations, square 24mo. Paper, 35 cents. Cloth, 60 cents.
