A Happy New Year to all the boys and girls who read this paper! Every
mail which comes to Our Post-office Box brings us letters which we are

paper so well, and enjoy it so thoroughly, let us tell you how you can

money, and referring to this offer, we will mail, postage paid, any one
of the volumes mentioned in the following list:
