 Mr. Atherton, a botanist and naturalist of herculean strength and

Julian Mortimer}: -A Brave Boy's Struggle for Home and Fortune. 



By HAKIIY CASTLEMON. 12mo, cloth, price $1.00. 



Here is a story that will warm every boy's heart. There is 

 mystery enough to keep any lad's imagination wound up to the 

 highest pitch. The scene of the story lies west of the Mississippi 

 River, in the days when emigrants made their perilous way across 

 the great plains to the land of gold. One of the startling features 

 of the book is the attack upon the wagon train by a large party of 

 Indians. Our hero is a lad of uncommon nerve and pluck, a brave 

 young American in every sense of the word. He enlists and holds 

 the reader's sympathy from the outset. Surrounded by an un- 

 known and constant perl, and assisted by the unswerving fidelity 

 of a stalwart trappe~ ^ real rough diamond, our hero achieves the 

 most happy results. Harry Castlemon has written many enter- 

 taining stories for boys, and it would seem almost superfluous to 

 say anything in his praise, for the youth of America regard him 

 as a favorite author.

 " One of the cleverest and most pleasing stories it has been our good for 



tune to meet with for some time. Carrots and his sister are delightful little 



beings, whom to read about is at once to become very fond of. 11 Examiner. 

 "A genuine children's bo9k; we've seen 'em seize it, and read it greedily. 



Children are first-rate critics, and thoroughly appreciate Walter Crane's 



illustrations. ' 'Punch. 



Mopsa the Fairy. By JEAN INGELOW. With Eight page 

 Illustrations. 12mo, cloth, price 75 cents. 



" Mrs. Ingelow is, to our mind, the most charming of all living writers for 

 children, and ' Mopsa' alone ought to give her a kind of pre-emptive right to 

 the love and gratitude of our young folks. It requires genius to conceive ? 

 purely imaginary work which must of necessity deal with the supernatm ... 

 without running into a mere riot of fantastic absurdity; but genius Miss In 

 gelow has and the story of l Jack ' is as careless and joyous, but as delicate. 

 >8 a picture of childhood." Eclectic.
