portment, standing and progress of pupils at school. The CONDUCT of the pupil is marked under the head of General Deportment, with the following degrees: Excellent, Good, Tolerable, Unsatisfactory, Inattentive, Idle, Disorderly, Disrespectful, Careless. A written excuse is required for every exercise omitted, or for leaving school before the hour of dismissal. Parents or guardians are requested to examine the weekly reports of the Character Book, sign their names to them, and return the Book on Monday morning. A _good name_ is rather to be chosen than great riches. _Price to Teachers: Fifty cts. a dozen._ The First School Book. _Illustrated with numerous Engravings._ _PRICE TWELVE CENTS._ This is an instructive Primer, for children, combining a series of progressive spelling lessons, commencing with the alphabet, and interspersed with simple rhymes and easy sentences in prose, accompanied with many pictures. The Primer contains Dr. Watts' celebrated Cradle Hymn, the verses entitled "Mary and her Lamb," the "Busy Bee," &c. Those who wish to change from the heavy and badly printed "Spelling Books" in present use, will find this to be more attractive to the young beginner, and more likely to coax him a step forward in his first lessons. The Testimony of a Hundred Witnesses: _Or, the Instrumentalities by which Sinners are brought to Embrace the Religion of Jesus Christ._ _PRICE FIFTY CENTS._ This Volume contains the history of One Hundred Conversions, written mostly expressly for this publication, by Christian individuals in the various evangelical denominations. It is, in a word, AN "EXPERIENCE MEETING" IN A BOOK, In which each person relates briefly the experience of his own heart concerning the great salvation. Among the number are about fifty ministers, some of the most able and renowned of the past and present ages. These interesting narratives show some of the causes which lead sinners to become concerned for their eternal welfare,--their resistance to the force of the Truth and the strivings of the Holy Spirit,--their subsequent struggles against their own evil dispositions, or "carnal mind,"--and their final perseverance toward the way of life, by true repentance, and an acceptance through faith in Christ, of the blessings which follow the love of God shed abroad in the soul. Place this book in your family, and cause it to be circulated among your neighbors, that it may awaken many
