The popular belief that anything was g"i enough for children to read has undergone a very decided change dm ing the i a-t few years Thirty yeais ;,g' the books which mane up our Mm- 'l - 'V - 'hoo! libraries were dHll beyond i ney repenen raiiier man at- ' ract ed. not beet i isp t he v were moral in tonei ,mt i,ec:1I!se ,,u,v laokeil ?Vm- p;,tbv and interest. The writers w:ere eoo$ pPOple. and imbued w ith the best of motives, but they seemed to forget that children required altogether dif- jferent literary pabulum from grown . 31, 1878. A people. The result was what might have been expected. The books w hich ougni to nave aiiiacieu mem wereuis- carded for sensational sluries whose literary sttle was execrable and whose morals were always doubtful One of the first book publishing houses ir. the country which attempted to reform that condition of things was that of 1). Lothrop & Co. Air. Lothrop had long believed in the possibility of a pure and elevated standard of litera ture for the young, which should com bine talent of a high degree with mor al and religious teaching, and w hich, in addition to these qualifications, should be blight, sharp and entertain ing. It required determination, cour age and money to carry out Ibis idea, but it was carried out. and to-day Mr. Lothrop stands at the head of a house which publishes more and belter books for juvenile and young people's lead ing than any other in the country. The best available talent is secured, and the dress in which his books appear is unsurpassed for beauty and durabil ity. Many publishers exhaust them selves in bringing out a single illustra ted juvenile for the holidays, while this firm offers perhaps a dozen, equal ly attravtivo, and immensely superior to the rep'oduciion of English juvenile publications with which the book mar ket is flooded during the holiday se.ison. Of the works lately published by this house in the special juvenile list, the four Wid - Awake Pleasure Books, "A," "B," "C" and "I," are prominent. They are as seasonable one time as another, and will be a perpetual pleasure to young readers. 5unshine for Babyland Mothers' Boys and Girls. Our Darlings, and Li'.tle IVop'e, the last three by "Piinsv," also appear in the same cata logue, and with a score or more others are brought out in illustrated board covers. The books which are now preparing in the same popular stle, make a long and attractive catalogue. Chief among them is wide awake pleasure book "E." wl i -h is announced to be readv for the trade Angus-. 1st. It will contain a huge number of delightful stories iiud p.-euis by well known ' authors, splen didly illustrated. Among the contents ae Sophi.

The volume is intended rpeciallv for the holidays, and in elegant appearance as well as intrin sic merit wiil compare in the way of a juvenile gift book wih anything yel published. A new book by Adam St win, and one t hat will make a sensa tion, is entitled Eyes Right. It is not highly entertaining, but it contains a lare amount of pra lical information for boys. Pour Feet. Wings and Pins is the title of a new illustrated book on natural history for children : Pen and Pencil Picures. Babyland for IS:S. three new books by -Pansy." Two Boys.

Little Miss Mischief an I iler Happy Thoughts adapted from the French I Eihi Par man, will be issued in quarto form, el egantly illustrated and bound, and w ill make one of the most beautiful giti books of the season. In similar styie will appear Little Miss Muslin of Quin tillion Square, whose adventures will be a never-ending source of entertain ment for other M'ss Muslins the coun try over. Another volume of Classics of Babyland. by Clara Doty Bates, is in preparation, which will surpass t ha: t last y ar iu general style and beauty of illustration. Those who remember that charming look.

'Talking with a bright young fellow a few days ago, he said to me: 'I am satisfied that.

"In a little book published many years ago, entitled 'How to get Money,' I find the following remarks on adver tising: 'Whatever your occupation or calling may be, if it needs support from the public advertise it thoroughly and efficiently ia some shape or other that wiil arrest public attention. There may possibly be occupations that do do not require advertising: but I can not well conceive what they are. Men in business will sometimes toll you they have tried advertising, and thai it did not pay.

Slow & S eady notice lhat a great deal of their ohi trade is going across the way; w hat shall they do to regain it V They conclude thev must advertise: and in his way advertising is an absolu.e ne cessity. To gain customers we must advertise; we must advntise to keep them. We must create a demand for new goods bv advertising their merits; we must hold the sale of old goods by kieping their good qualiti s before the public Etery business should be ad vert ised, no matter wh'jro or what it is. If a moderate custom wtis sure among a cir cle of friends and acquaintances in a given locality, it would still be to the merchant's interest lo advettise and increase his trade The main expenses of doing business will be about so much, be the amount transacted great er or le.us. A large business can be done ata much less percentage of cost than a small one. A man can better afford to sell one bundled thousand dollars' worth of goods at a profit of ten per cent., than fifty thousand at fif teen per cent. A merchant may ex pect to hold trade by selling low, but he must have firt ma le it known n some way that he is ready to sell low, or he w ill not get the customers. Ways of advertising are as ii' moons s :he busy brain of man can inwnt. 'Posters on the wall are good, but t i ev are there only a few days, and then they are covered by another ad vertiser.
