Valuable Work that Should be in Every
Library.

Every one that reads, every one that
mlngles in society, is constantly meet
ing with illusions to subjects on which
he needs and desires further infOrms-
tlOn. In conversation, in trade, in pro-
tessl0nal life, on the farm, in the family,
questions are continually arising which
no man, we'll read OF not, can aIWays
satisfactorily answer. If the facilities
TOT reference are at hand, they are con-
suited, and not only is the curiosity
gratlhed, and the stock of knOWledRsin-
creased, but perhaps Information ia

The American Cyclopedia presents a
panoramic view of all human knOWE-

IL embraces and pOpularizes every sub

family circle an instructive lesson; to

may happen to want. 1t is far more
truly one of the "necessaries of life"

commonly mean by that phrase. Tha

parents cannot hope to see their chill

those who have daily access to such a
fund Of information as is contained in

much truth in the statement made by
one Of our leading divines, who in con-
versatiOn with the writer this week,
said: zone has only to listen to the

schools to pick out the pupils in whose
homes there are CyclOpedias."
The agent for the American CycIOpe-
dia is at present in the city, and now is
the time to secure that invaluable work.
