parishioners. They are the most effectual means of occupying
the ground against hurtful publications, and serial stories
running on keep up the interest. If a shopkeeper can be made
an agent, with a small percentage, the affair will thrive, as
children’s magazines may be subscribed for at school.
=870. Little One’s Own Picture Paper.= (Dean) 1_d._
The pictures are wonderfully good, so are the verses. Capital for showing
to the infant class at a Sunday school.
=871. The Rosebud.= (Clarke & Co.) 1_d._
For very small children.
=872. The Children’s Pictorial.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_d._
Full of chromolithographs; but the stories are not serial, and this
_some_ children do not like.
=873. The Prize.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 1_d._
This bears a highly coloured ‘picture,’ and is greatly liked.
=874. The Child’s Companion.= (R.T.S.) 1_d._
Well illustrated, and with pretty stories and short religious lessons.
=875. Chatterbox.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) Weekly, ½_d._ Monthly,
3_d._
Well illustrated and amusing; fit for young people somewhat older. The
information is capital.
=876. Little Folks.= (Cassell) 6_d._
A somewhat superior article, with sensible tales, original
correspondence, and prize competitions. Matter fairly good.
=877. My Sunday Friend.= (Mowbray) 1_d._
With the strongest Church tone of all these, and useful Sunday questions.
Stories good.
=878. Sunshine.= 1_d._
Fairly good; but the Bible questions are too like riddles.
=879. Boy’s Own Paper.= (R.T.S.) 1_d._ weekly, 6_d._ monthly.
Capital, and full of adventurous tales.
=880. Girl’s Own Paper.= (R.T.S.) 1_d._ weekly, 6_d._ monthly.
Hardly equal to the Boy’s, but very much appreciated by girls in their
teens, whose wants it seems to satisfy in a sensible, innocent way.
=881. Dawn of Day.= (S.P.C.K.) ½_d._
Fit for older children and young people. Can be localised.
=882. Atalanta.= (Hatchards) 6_d._
Especially for young girls, and proposing very useful subjects for
competition.
=883. Penny Post.= (Parker) 1_d._
The eldest of all these, and still keeping up its reputation.
=884. The Youth’s Companion.=
An American weekly published by Perry, 41 Temple Place, Boston. A
subscription of 10_s._ per annum would bring it to England, and it has
some of the best reading for young folks that we know.
=885. Parish Magazine.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 1_d._
The first of all to be localised. Always fairly good.
=886. Banner of Faith.= (Church Extension Society) 3_s._ 6_d._ per volume.
With a strong Church tone. Very spirited. Can be localised.
=887. The Gospeller.= (Mowbray) 1_d._
More decidedly religious reading. Can be localised.
=888. The Leisure Hour.= Monthly, 6_d._; 7_s._ per volume.
A mixture of tales and information.
=889. The Quiver.= (Cassell) 6_d._
Of the same character. Monthly, and for Sunday reading, and thus
containing articles on Holy Scripture.
=890. Cassell’s Family Magazine.= Monthly, 7_d._
Of a more secular but wholesome character, with tales and substantial
information.
=891. Good Words.= (Isbister) 6_d._
Commands the ablest writers and comes the nearest to literature. Men
are more likely to read it than the others. There is always a religious
article or two—‘unsectarian.’
=892. The Net.= (Bemrose & Sons) 1_d._
Valuable as giving vivid accounts of missions.
=893. The Gospel Missionary.= (Bell) ½_d._
Keeping up interest in missions.
=894. The Coral Magazine.= (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 1_d._
On the part of the Church Missionary Society.

PENNY READINGS.
The foremost counsel to be given to those commencing Penny
Readings is to beware of exciting an expectation that all
readings and recitations shall be comic. It is probable that
a considerable proportion of the audience will enjoy what is
adventurous or pathetic; but if the lads, whose prime object
is to make a noise, once get into the habit of expecting
that everything shall be the occasion of laughing, they will
consider themselves defrauded by anything else, and spoil all
chance of listening. Even if they come in a civilised mood, a
little excitement will set them off, and make them unmanageable
all the rest of the time, and habits will set in which will
drive the readers at last into mere buffoonery. Drollery is
quite expedient, but it should be only just at the end, as a
_bonne bouche_, when the uproariousness which it creates can
speedily be worked off out of doors, or else a race of young
tyrants will be raised up who will effectually prevent taste
from being raised among the audience.
_POETRY FOR READING OR RECITATION._
Poetry answers better than prose if WELL recited or read, and
a child is generally rapturously listened to if it can do the
thing with spirit and not like a lesson.
=895. The Lifeboat, and Other Poems.= By GEORGE R. SIMS. (Fuller) 1_s._
The first of these has been known to excite tears where the audience had

Some of Lockhart’s ‘Spanish Ballads’ would be liked in some
places, and to many the ‘Children in the Wood’ and others of
the old English ballads would be new.

The bells sunk in the bay just after the captain had pronounced the safe
voyage due to his own seamanship.
=908. Sir Richard Grenville.= By Lord TENNYSON.
=909. Song of the Shirt.= By HOOD.

Some serious, some comic, well suited for the purpose.
