FOLKS.
ATTRACTIONS FOR 1886.

No printed periodical can take the
place OF parent, pastor, or school-teacher;
but good magazine can supplement
their work and influence TO wonderful
degree. IL view of this, it is not extrav-
agant to say Ihat-instead of "can we
afford to lake ST NICHOLAS ?"-the ques.
ton of every earnest household in Eng
lush speaking countries, to-day, should be
"Can we afford not to take ST. MICH
CLASP"
The magazine, during it's eleven happy
years of existence, undOr the editorial
charge of
MARY MAPES DODGE,
has grown familiar to hundreds of thou
sands of young readers. and their inter.
est and intelligent enjoyment have con-
stantly inspired the editor aud publishers
to fresh effort. To-day, its strength is in
wholesome growth, its sympathy with
young life, its hearty recognition Of the
movement Of events, and its steadily in
crcasing literary and pictorial reso urces.
