4 Illustrations. Handsome Cloth. Price, $1.25.
One of the most fascinating, and one of the best Juvenile Books written.
It tells the story of a little waif picked up in Paris streets, cared for by a kind family, employed in a factory, joining a colony of emigrants, wrecked on the African coast, his Crusoe life and adventures there, held by savages, and, at last, return to Paris, bringing wealth, and gaining what to him was still higher. Every boy praises it.
MILLY;
Or, The Hidden Cross.
A Story of School-Girl Life.
Handsome Cloth binding. Price $1.00.
Boarding-School Life!
In this book we have a perfect photograph of a bevy of lovely, positive girls, enthusiastic, jolly, jealous, cliquish, true to their favorites, preparing and participating in the closing examination and public exhibition. The picture is perfect. Milly, the heroine of this book, is a noble character, pure, lovely, religious,—a leader. She wore a “hidden cross,” which was once, through anger and jealousy of one of her companions, rudely exposed and jeered at, wounding her to the quick. She bore a “hidden cross” unknown to all, even to her widowed mother, till in death’s cold clasp she revealed it, and through the “Cross” she won immortal glory, leaving behind her a memory so sweet, an influence no one of her companions ever forgot.
