SPECIAL NOTICES BY A. I. ROOT. 



NELL BEVERLY, FARMER. 



The above is the title of a beautiful new book of 190 pages 

 that our old and much-esteemed friends of the Rural New -1'orkrr 

 ate giving their subscribers. I don't get lime to read much fic- 

 tion nowadays; but I thank God that I have taken time to read 

 this story of a young girl who held on to the farm and cared for a 

 fatherless and motherless family. The story is true, for Mrs. 

 Root and I have passed through (or, rather, strugglrd through) 

 most of the obstacles so vividly pictured that meet one who 

 climbs to success in any one of the rural industries. A younger 

 brother, who was bright and capable, but always wanting all the 

 new appliances before he had the money to get them, and then 

 getting excited about some othrr new thing before he had made 

 a success of his previous purchase, is an exciting character. 

 Nell's final determination, and her declaration of no more going 

 in debt, ought to do a lot of good in more' than one home. The 

 grand finale of the book is when Nell made another " declara- 

 tion of independence" by coming out in " open war" on the 

 cider-barrel in the cellar that I fear still curses many a farmer's 

 home. By so doing she saved poor wild reckless " Bob," and 

 brought somebody else, who was still more contrary, over on the 

 right side, and right into the great crowd of good men and wo- 

 men who are "turning on the searchlight" and hastening the 

 time when God's kingdom shall come here into this world. 



By all means subscribe for the Rural New -Yorker, zni give 

 this book to your boys and girls, and everybody else.
