osrUDENrs, SONGS. >,

Moses King, while student at Har-
yard college, earned his entire college
expenses of a thousand dollars year,
by making books, such as Harvard and
Its Surroundings" Kings Handbook
of Boston," "The Harvard Register"
etc. since graduation, few years ago,
he has published many successful books ;
among them students Songs" which
has had the most remarkable sales ever
known for book OF its class. Over 40,
600 copies of this students Songs
have already been made, and the de-
maDd is said to be active as ever. The
probable cause of this success is the fact
that prior to the publication of "Stu-
tanning songs and music that have
sprung up and become popular within
college walls during the past ten years.
The songs have been heard and heartily
enjoyed by thousands of people at glee
clubs, concerts, college festivities, col
lege societies, in home circles and social
gatherings. They have 3 peculiar
breeziness and mirth- making capacity
that make them enjoyable on all enjoy
able occasions. The book itself is also
cause of its success. 1. ia handsomely
printed, and contains sixty songs. with
their music, nearly I'll of which are
copyrighted, and to be found in no other
collection. Il is surprise TO find SO
choice q collection of new and copy
rIghted jolly songs and music, selling
for only fifty cents. Like almost all sue
cesses, it has its limitations, add some
are rather deceptive in their make up.
Already several so called collections of
student or college songs are In the mar
ket, but the genuine and original book
of students Songs" the only one that
has been noteworthy successful is edited
and complied by VIM. Fl. Hill. a young
Harvard graduate, and published by
Moses King, at Harvard square, IN Cam
bridge, Mass.
