| paper or magazine for Old or Young OF any
kind can be found. The minds of tens OF

starving for want of mental nourlah.nents
Why is 1t that among the millions OF bene-
Violent people OF the United States no

pose of furnishing the children of the
poor with school books and easy.
attractive and useful readingl Many FAINT
lies are able to subscribe for papers, but as
| they have seen but little of the world. and
are unaccustomed to writing letters, the
manner of sending money and becoming
subscribers is d mystery which will never
DE solved without assistance from those
who are better informed. Political speeches
made by men of either party, newspapers.

rainy DAYS. And could they be furnished
with a weekly ct the right kind. o: even Il
