No  one  could  ask  for  a  richer  store  than  these  works 
of  Thackeray,  from  which  to  draw  for  literary  recrea-  r'30k 
tion  during  the  evenings  of  the  winter  or  the  days 
of  the  summer  outing.  Thacker  ty  was  the  king  of  ' 
satirists.  His  brilliant  wit  scintillates  like  the  gleams  ^  zWz'' 
of  light  from  the  facets  of  the  diamond.  His  shafts  "  ' 
pierce]  like  the  point  of  a  rapier.  The  foibles  and  i 
fashions,  the  fads  and  follies  of  the  upper  crust  are 
held  up  to  scathing  ridicule,  while  the  habits  and  habi-  _  (, 
tationsof  the  masses  are  laid  bare  for  instruction, amuse- 
ment  and  general  edification.  No  household  has  the 
right  to  withhold  Thackeray  fri  m  its  youths  and  maidens.  Price,  $1  per  volume, 
prepaid.  One  volume  with  a  year’s  subscription,  $1.70  ;  with  a  renewal  and  a  year’s
