ALL ABOARD; or, Life on the Lake. $1.25. "ALL ABOARD" was written to gratify the reasonable curiosity of the readers of the "_Boat Club_," to know what occurred at Woodlake during the second season; and though it is a sequel, it has no direct connection with its predecessor. The Introduction in the first chapter contains a brief synopsis of the principal events of the first season; so that those who have not read the "_Boat Club_" will labor under no disadvantage on that account. NOW OR NEVER; or, the Adventures of Bobby Bright. $1.25. The author has been for many years a successful teacher in one of the Boston Public Schools, and the knowledge of youthful character thus obtained has been used to good advantage in his works. TRY AGAIN; or, the Trials and Triumphs of Harry West. $1.25. The story of Harry West is a record of youthful experience designed to illustrate the necessity and the results of perseverance in well doing. The true success of life is the attainment of a pure and exalted character; and he who at three-score-and-ten has won nothing but wealth and a name, has failed to achieve the noblest purpose of his being. This is the moral of the story contained in this volume. LITTLE BY LITTLE; or, the Cruise of the Flyaway. $1.25. Paul Duncan, the hero of this volume, is a nautical young gentleman, and most of the events of the story occur upon the water, and possess that exciting and captivating character for which this author's books are famous. But the author hopes that something more than exciting incidents will be found upon his pages; that though he has seldom, if ever, gone out of his way to define the moral quality, or measure the moral quantity, of the words and deeds of his characters, the story will not be found wanting in a true Christian spirit. POOR AND PROUD; or, the Fortunes of Katy Redburn. $1.25. The history of a smart girl, where fortunes are made to depend upon her good principles, her politeness, her determined perseverance, and her overcoming that foolish pride, which is a snare to the feet. In these respects she is a worthy example for the young. Sold by all booksellers and newsdealers, and sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of price. * * * * * LEE & SHEPARD, Publishers, Boston.
