" Educated mind is a Nation's wealth, and promotes the happiness of mankind." 



At this time, when the press is teeming with so much nonsensical trash, 

 tending to corrupt, not only the literary taste, but the morals of the people, 

 parents and their children will be pleased to find so many valuable works 

 to be procured at almost any bookstore in the country. Their perusal will 

 tend to restore the mind to a true idea of life, its dignity, its duty and its 

 destiny. The reading of the following books will exalt the mind, and 

 purify the affections, and awaken to life many a fresh and noble thought 

 that now lies buried. " The great business of man is, to improve his 

 mind and govern his manners."
