GoldenDays.—We would like to be able to place this weekly journalin the hands of every girl and boy in the county who cannot afford tosubscribe for or buy it from news agents. But the girls and boys of thatkind, we fear, are "too many for us." A sad fact, too, by-the-way, whenwe reflect that a little thought and a bit of economy on the part ofthemselves or their parents would do what it is not in our power toaccomplish. Nevertheless, they ought to know what Golden Days is, namely, a sixteen-page weeklyjournal, with finely-illustrated articles on various subjects ofinterest to young people, embracing natural history, philosophy andother branches of education, together with pleasing, instructive andmoral stories by the best authors. It is just what is wanted for theyouthful mind seeking for useful information, and ready at the same timeto enjoy what is entertaining and healthful. If all girls and boys couldperuse and profit by its columns every week, they in time would grow upto be women and men, intelligent, patriotic and influential in theirlives; and lest any who may read these words are ignorant—which ishardly possible—of the whereabouts of Golden Days, we gladly give the address, JamesElverson, Ninth and Spruce Streets, Philadelphia. From the Cincinnati Suburban News. Twenty copies of the Golden Days aresold weekly at Moore's book store. The number ought to be forty, for itis the best juvenile publication we know of.

That it is considered well worth the subscription is evidenced byits rapidly increasing circulation and popularity. While filled everyweek with intensely thrilling stories, which rival Robinson Crusoe andthe Swiss Family Robinson, it has no tendency to corrupt the morals ofthe young, and can be given to them without hesitation or fear.

| [The North Avenue Archingtons] | WHAT WAS THAT BY THE TELESCOPE? A WHITE, TALL FIGURE STOOD BY THE INSTRUMENT. | At the western end of the third floor there was a stairway leading up to a room at the top of the building, which was occasionally used as an observatory. A telescope was mounted there, but, as it was not very powerful, the astronomy classes generally used one at the private residence of their professor instead. |
| [The Black Hound] | THE DOG DID NOT RELAX ITS HOLD, AND THE COMBATANTS SEEMED BOUND TOGETHER. | The animal swam straight to the island and landed there. At my hiding-place I waited for it to appear on the opposite side of the island and swim across the bay. When it got well out into the open water I could catch it with my boat. But the deer seemed contented to remain on the island, for it did not again show itself. It evidently thought it could thus baffle the nose of the pursuing hound, and escape the danger incurred by swimming across the bay. I made up my mind that in order to capture the deer, I must in some way get into the narrow channel between the island and the main shore; but with the deer watching me from the island, this would be almost impossible. |
