raphy of a Horse. By ANNA SEWELL. 12mo,

This Is the life story of a horse; how he was ill treated and well
cared for. The experiences of Black Beauty, Ginger, and Merrylegs are
extremely interesting. Wherever children are, whether boys or girls,
this Autobiography should be. It inculcates habits of kindness to all

excellent.
Mopsa the Fairy. By JEAN INGELOW. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75
cents.
"Mrs. Ingelow is, to our mind, the most charming of all living writers

Carrots: Just a Little Boy. By MRS. MOLESWORTH. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated, price 75 cents.
"One of the cleverest and most pleasing stories it has been our good
fortune to meet with for some time. Carrots and his sister are

instructive to the young. Whether the readers are nine years old, or
twice as old, they must enjoy this pretty volume."--The Examiner.
A Child's Christmas: A Sketch of Boy Life. By MRS. MOLESWORTH. 12mo,

author has written so many. It is a fascinating little book, with a
charming plot, a sweet, pure atmosphere, and teaches a wholesome moral
in the most winning manner."--Gazette.
