in hogshead. He shook him till he

A White Mountain Tramp.

Mr.. Samuel B. Caldwell, of New
Windsor, on Hudson, N. Y, came to
the White Mountain region in May 1880,
10y the advice of his physician, to walk
through the mountains for the benefit
of his health, which he has faithfully
carried out, having footed it some 1900
miles, carrying haversack with wear
ing apparel, guide book, field glass and
rubber coat, weighing l5 to 20 lbs, and
using Swiss Alpine stock. He has
made the ascent of some twenty of the
principal mountain peaks, from Mt.
ChOcOrua to DixviIIe Notch, including
three asceuts OF Mt. Washington, up the
railway track in May, later on over the
Crawford bride path, and in October
through Tuckerman's Ravine. He has
not availed himself of the use of vehi-
cles of any kind whatever, nor of EX-
press facilities for his haversack. His
health was so much benefited by his
former tour, that 10y advice of his ply
sician at home, he is spending the win
ter here, making his headquarters at
the FrancOnia House. He thinks owing
to our dry atmosphere that the cold is
not so severely felt here, as is the more
moist atmosphere of New York State on

READING FOR THE CHILDREN.-TEe
many publications for the children and
young people by Messrs. LOthrop &
Co., of Boston, seem to supply the
wants of all ages in the family. The
Vide Ardke many of our readers are
familiar with, and we only wish that all
the children of ten years and upwards
could see copy of it every month dur
ing the year. Its price is $500. Then
from the same house are published the
Little Folks Reader at IS cents Il year,
designed to make reading attractive to
the little ones, by large type, pretty sto-
ries, and beautiful pictures:-also BG-
byldnd for the smallest ones, and Il very
pretty illustrated weekly called The
PdRSy, at so cents a year, which may
also be obtained as 4 monthly, if pre-
ferred, at ID cents year. The stories
and illustrations are very pretty, and
would make very happy the children
from six to ten years in any family. 1t
is not too late to subscribe for either OF
these for the present year, or to apply
for specimen copy to Messrs. D. LOthrop
& Co., Boston.
