Mrs. Jacobus did not reply. 1t was an
old tale to her ears, perhaps; she remem

a stolid apathy, like one who asked for
bread in life, and they gave him but thi

Frauds on the Children.

Christmas is coming and Christmas books
have come. Happy are all the little folks
Of to-day, for whom such delightful pict-
ures are printed and such sugar-plum stories
told. We are glad to see all the treasures OF
art and color poured into their laps. And we
do despise the act of that publisher, who, on
pretence of giving the children something new,
brings out the stolen engravings of halfdoz-
en- old books, and strings upon them story
where the incidents are made to fit the used-up
wood-cuts, which neither Illustrate nor embel-
We have just laid down book, written by
apopular author of juvenile literature where
these gross and palpable frauds are attempted
on the children. A good deal of the story is
ofthe war. There is quite vigorous descrip-
ton of the battle of Roanoke Island-with a
full page print of the same. But alasl it is one
that has done its duty in making Young Amer
lea acquainted with the history of the Revolu-
ton. The fort is being stormed by party OF
British grenadiers, pointed hats, cross-belts
and all, while over them waves an UNI
1nistakeable st. Georges Cross. The fort is
defended by Continentals, with ten-pounders
Of the model of 1776, and towering above the
colonial soldiers are two cocked-hatted and
mounted generals, and two immense banners
Of the stars and stripes pattern add dignity
to "the position" This is to teach 1866, how
Massachusetts soldiers drove the Rebels out
Of their Notifications three years ago. Another
cut in the same series is still worse. 1t is an
old print of the bombardment of Fort Moul-
trie made to do duty as 1.-THE capture of Fort
Sumpter and the Rebels" According to this,
Major Anderson men wear three-cornered
hats-are ignorant Of the use of friction-primers
and fight behind. barriers of palmetto logs
A ferocious figure on the ramparts hold ing a
flag on sponge-staff, and whom we should
call Seargent Jasper, is, we are assured the
gallant Mr.. Hart, replacing the banner which
the guns of Beauregard shot away. Some
thing looms up out of the distant smoke, like
a frigate's top right in the range of fire.
Profitable, all this, in creating exact ideas in
young minds of the heroic scenes of the war
for the Repubicl frs4s +. ..tfr
Don't cheat the children, Messrs. Publish
ers of Boston or New York; Give them the
best you have or can get--it win be none too
good-but above all give them TRUTH @
