GOOD THINGS

For the Boys and Girls !

BEADLE & COMPANY'Series of Dime Speakers, Dialogues, Melodist, &c. for the School, the Exhibition, the Parlor,' &c., are so new, so original, and so available as to render them general favorites with the Schools, and with students of both sexes. The Speakers are filled, not with those old pieces which have become "stock" in almost every book of declamation, but contain chiefly specimens of the oratory and the eloquence of the day. The admixture of grave and gay, of prose and verse, of serious and humorous, is such as to render every page of each issue adaptable and satisfactory. The Speaker series embraces :

Dime American Speaker, No. 1.
Dime National Speaker, No. 2.
Dime Patriotic Speaker, No. 3.
Dime Comic Speaker, No. 4.

The Dialogue series is quite a novelty. The pieces, all prepared expressly for Beadle's Books, are very choice and varied in character, and are adapted to Schools of all grades, and to Parlors, with or without the furniture of a 66 Stage" They give specific directions as to Costume, Character, &c., and altogether form the most thoroughly useful and delightful books of Dialogues and School Dramas yet offered our young friends at any price. The series embraces :

Dime Dialogues, No. 1. Dime Dialogues, No. 2. The Dime School Melodist is a real treasure of its kind. It contains a choice selection (words and music) of familiar and beautiful Songs, Duetts, Trios, Quartettes and Choruses, arranged with special reference to use in all grades of Schools, and suited to children of every age. It is a very desirable little volume for Schools and Children.

These books are to be had singly or in packages, of newsdealers generally, or through the mails, post paid, by remitting the price, TEN CENTS, for each book ordered.

Reduced rates to Teachers, when ordered by the quantity.

SARGENT'S ENTIRELY NEW

SERIES OF READERS!

In consequence of the great success of Mr. Epes Sargent in his speciali ty of preparing Readers for schools, there has been a large demand for new books from him; and he has consequently prepared an entirely new and improved Series of Readers, which have been carefully and elegantly elec trotyped, and are now ready for sale.

The smaller books are beautifully illustrated, and all those improve ments which constant consultation with our best teachers have suggested, are included.

We defy contradiction in saying that the Series is the best, the handsomest, the most carefully prepared, aud, we may add, the cheapest, ever yet published. Our most accomplished elocutionists frankly admit the striking superiority of the Series;-Mr. Sargent having had his entire time for years to give to the preparation-an advantage which he has enjoyed over all known compilers.

Mr. Sargent's long experience, careful scholarship, high culture as a literary man, acknowledged taste, added to his admitted success in ON Series of Readers, of which millions are still sold annually, are a guaran see that committees cannot go far out of the way of the public wants, in selecting his New Series.

Sargent's Original Dialogues. A handsome large duodecimo of 336 pages, with a fine portrait of the author, engraved on steel, and wood-cuts representing appropriate attitudes in dial gue delivery.

This work is one of great excellence for Schools. It contains 55 new Dialogues of such life-like character, and simplicity of dramatic exec ution as will enable the learners to perform their various parts easily and carefully; and at the same time of such pleasing composition as will awaken in those who witness their performance, the keenest interest.

On receipt of one dollar, a copy will be sent, postage prepaid, to any teacher or pupil.

IN PRESS.

SCHOOL BOOKS

OF

ESTABLISHED HIGHEST

EXCELLENCE.

Of the many school books constantly coming from the press, not one in a score possesses sufficient merit, or adaptedness to the practical wants of teachers, to secure for it a permanent place among school text-books. We select from the list of our own publications, for commendation to educators, the following books, all of which have very successfully stood the actual test in the school room, and most of which have become the standard text-books in their departments, being more extensively used than any We recommend these books to teachers, therefore, not merely on our own judgment, but because they have been thoroughly tried and proved to be the best.
