From the Advocate, Londonville, Ohio. Good reading matter is as essential to the young people as goodfood—its effect is seen in after years. Especially do they needgood, pure fiction, which engages their attention and excludesmischievous ideas, leaving a lasting impression. In its great variety ofshort and continued stories, GoldenDays is among the foremost, and its illustrations are artistic.Puzzledom delights the solvers, while the Letter Box contains muchinformation and is read by old and young. Although the Exchange Columnwill not publish any notices of a dangerous character, yet it is alwayscrowded and has been used to advantage by its readers. The publisherknows the wants of the young folks, and the pens of the young people’sfavorite writers are employed for GoldenDays. It can be purchased weekly, or bound in magazine form, atthe end of the month. Send to the publisher, James Elverson,Philadelphia, for a sample copy. From The Argus, Ashton, Dakota. To the young people of Spink County who enjoy first-class reading we cantruthfully recommend Golden Days,published by James Elverson, Philadelphia. It is a weekly publication,and filled with the purest of reading matter, and yet the well-knowndesire of the young for stories of adventure is not forgotten, for whilethe interest of the reader is held by the power of the writers, yetthere is nothing at any time that could offend the most fastidious,while the youthful mind is led on to emulate the good acts portrayed.Write for sample copies. From the Milton (Penna.) Economist. Golden Days is filled with a choiceselection of original stories and pure reading matter of the highestorder, together with numerous illustrations. The contributors are manyof the best and most widely-known story writers of the world. One grandfeature of this journal is that it contains nothing that will be in anyway leading to the tainting of the moral or religious life of the young,which is the case with so many of the story papers of the present day.We commend the paper to parents who wish to get the best juvenile paper;and those of our young readers who wish to get and read serial storiesof a pure and moral tendency should not fail to subscribe to Golden Days. $45 SAFETY BICYCLES FREE.

Golden Days.—We would like to beable to place this weekly journal in the hands of every girl and boy inthe county who cannot afford to subscribe for or buy it from newsagents. But the girls and boys of that kind, we fear, are “too many forus.” A sad fact, too, by-the-way, when we reflect that a littlethought and a bit of economy on the part of themselves or their parentswould do what it is not in our power to accomplish. Nevertheless, theyought to know what Golden Days is,namely, a sixteen-page weekly journal, with finely-illustrated articleson various subjects of interest to young people, embracing naturalhistory, philosophy and other branches of education, together withpleasing, instructive and moral stories by the best authors. It is justwhat is wanted for the youthful mind seeking for useful information, andready at the same time to enjoy what is entertaining and healthful. Ifall girls and boys could peruse and profit by its columns every week,they in time would grow up to be women and men, intelligent, patrioticand influential in their lives; and lest any who may read these wordsare ignorant—which is hardly possible—of the whereabouts ofGolden Days, we gladly give theaddress, James Elverson, Ninth and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia. | FREE!
