PART I,

REVISED EDITION.

FOR

BEGINNERS,

WILL BE READY DECEMBER 28th.

This book will bring about the long talked of "revolution" in the study of Latin in American Schools. It presents a NEW method of studying Latin, which is neither "a copy of our own previous methods, nor an improved edition of the method prevailing in Germany." It does not claim to open up a "Royal road to Learning," nor will it yield a perfect knowledge of Latin in "six easy lessons."

It will aid the pupil to acquire the Latin Language by the most natural method pessible, "short of hearing it spoken in the Forum, or at the baths of Ancient Rome."

Retail Price, $1.25. Wholesale Price (to Teachers) $1.00. Specimen for examination, prepaid, by mail, $1.00.

MONEY RETURNED in full, if, after a few days'

use of "GODFREY'S CATARRH REMEDY" its effects are unsatisfactory. $5 a box-few require more. It is the prescription of one of the most eminent Professors and Surgeons in the United States, and is known to be a scientific, safe and successful remedy. Occasionally a case may pass into the incurable stage-for man was born to die-but that none may be imposed on, the above offer, agreeable to the printed statement on each box, is made. It is not claimed that this remedy cures everything, nor consumption, but it is claimed to be sale and efficient in the cure of Catarrh of the head, nose, &c. Extravagant testimonials are not given, but the following phrases used by correspondents not readily led away, show that it is a remedy or real value in a troublesome, offensive and threatening malady. "The first box has done good; we want another." "It did me much good." "It is diffusive and effectual." "My son is getting on nicely, and is almost well." "Your Catarrh Remedy is helping me; send some more." "Express me $20 worth; the first box has really Zone my daughter much good." Sold by P. C. GODFREY, only at No. 3 UNION SQUARE, New York.

CANVASSERS WANTED.

(N most of our schools, both public and private, the opening exercises, examinations, and receptions are conducted in the principal room, where all the pupils are assembled. As these rooms are commonly furnished with ordinary settees, to accommodate the largest number possible, they are almost useless except for just such occasions.

THE DESK SETTEE, recently invented, fully remedies this great difficulty and loss. Its construction is such that it may be easily transformed from a Settee to a Writing Desk, or vice versa, by any boy or girl. The seat-board D, in figure 2 of the illustration on next page, is turned upward to form a Desk, as shown at C, in both figures. The plan is so simple and effective that, in a moment, an Assembly or Lecture Room may become a busy school-room, furnished with seats and desks, in alternate rows; and requiring but little mere material and expense than for ordinary seats alone. For country school-houses, which are sometimes used for religious meetings, this invention seems invaluable.

Behind each row of Desk Settees may be an ordinary seat, but to give uniformity in appearance the FOLDING SEAT SETTEE is recommended to accompany. When not in use this seat may be turned against the back, to allow individual space for passing, for gymnastic exercises, marching, or for the purpose of sweeping the room.

In many villages and towns where Public Halls or Lecture Rooms are desirable, but cannot be afforded on account of the expense, the introduction of the Desk Settee would contribute largely to their support, for the same room could be used for school purposes during the day, and for lectures in the evening, without the trouble of removing desks and seats.

The side frames, or stanchions, and the pieces to which the seat boards are attached, are of cast-iron. The seat boards and backs of those now used in our city schools are of cherry-wood, but they can be made of any other wood that may be desired. The Settees are made of different heights, ranging from 11 to 16 inches in height of seat; and by use of intermediate stanchions, they are made in sections of 4 and 5%1⁄2 feet each, and may be made any length required.

The merits of this invention seem to be readily appreciated. The Desk Settees are being rapidly introduced into the public schools of New York city. Though but recently patented, they are already used in twenty-six assembly-rooms in the city; among them are those of Grammar Schools Nos. 1, 8, 15, 17, 40, 45, 49, 54, 55, and Primary Schools Nos. 3, 10, and 36. They are in use in the Normal School at Oswego, N. Y.; in the public schools at Yonkers, N. Y.; at Hudson City, N. J.; also in the Hall and School at Webster, Missouri. In all cases they give perfect satisfaction, because of their real convenience, economy, and durability. See cuts on next page.

Usual length to seat two pupils (Double Desk) to write, or three persons in assembly, is three feet and nine inches.

A rack for Books, &c. is attached to each Desk. This holds the Books, whether the room is used for School or for Assembly purposes.

Price of each Double Desk, of Cherry Wood,

[blocks in formation]

$11.00. 10.50.

Packing and Shipping will be carefully and promptly done on receipt of orders which coutain the cash.

Three Complete Novels

These stories will appear succes

written especially for THE GALAXY by brilliant writers. sively, each being completed in about one-third the time it would occupy in a monthly. Herein consists one of the most apparent advantages of a fortnightly, a chief objection to serial stories being obviated. These three stories alone could not be purchased as books for the price of the Magazine. THE GALAXY will also give in each number one or more

Short Stories

of the highest character. Beside those which are likely to come from unknown writers of merit, such stories may be expected from HARRIET E. PRESCOTT, THE AUTHOR OF “LIFE IN THE IRON MILLS," THE AUTHOR OF "EMILY CHESTER," CAROLINE CHESEBRO, ROSE TERRY, Maria LOUISA POOL, MBS. W. H. PALMER and others.

will be contributed by authors, known and unknown, and will be selected from the MSS, received, with sole regard to their ability and interest to the public. But the publishers can positively announce a series of articles, by EUGENE Benson, (who is about visiting the French Exhibition,) on French Art and Society; by RICHARD GRANT WHITE, on literature and criticism; by GEORGE M. TOWLE, on Foreign Politics; by JAMES FRANKLIN FITTS, on Events of the War; by GEORGE WAKEMAN, on a variety of subjects-and contributions, by HENRY T. TUCKERMAN ; by EDMUND C. STEDMAN ; by JOHN ESTEN COOKE; by CHARLES GODFREY LELAND; by ALICE AND PHEBE CARY; by REV. JOHN WEISS; by Rev. Edward E. HALE; by DR. T. W. PARSONS; by PROF.

The Illustrations

of THE GALAXY will be from designs by eminent artists, and will be engraved and printed in the highest style of the art.
