HOME BOOKS!

Do you not like the sound, dear children? You are
not strangers to Cousin Alice, many of you, at least, for
she has often met you at home, after school duties were
over, and the many games were ended, and you have
listened in the pleasant twilight to the tales that she has
brought for you.
"Home Books," I shall call these,
because all things gentle, and beautiful, and pure, should
be gathered in home's happy influences-and there is

a charm in its every association.

So when I come to

the fireside, I shall hope to be a welcome guest, and we will talk of many strange and lovely things-that

is, if you are interested in my first little history of

"THE CHILDREN'S JOURNEY."
