FOR
YOUNG FOKLS.
Attractions for 1884-'85.

No printed periodical can take the place oi
parent, pastor, or school teacher; but a good
magazine can supplement their work and infiu-
ence to wonderful degree. In view OF this, il
is not eXtravagant to say that-inStead of "Can
we afford to take 81. Nicholas 2'-the question OF
every earnest household in English speaking
countries, to-day, should be Can we afford not
to take 81. NichOldSs'
The magazine, during its eleven happy years OF
existence, under the editorial charge of
MARY MAPEs DODGE,
has grown familiar to hundreds of thousands OF
young readers; and their interest and intelligent
enjoyment have constantly inspired the editor
and publishers to fresh effort. To-day its strength
is in its wholesome growth, its sympathy with
young life, its hearty recognition of the move
ment of events, and its steady increasing literary
and pictorial resources. The following are some
