He telleth the number of the Stars; He calleth them all by their names.Ps. cxlvii 4.

An enlightened example for us all to follow. Is a verity, and now ready for the common school or primary class wherever the teachers are who can give their scholars the celestial object lessons of heavenly beauty. How many there are who study astronomy but leave out the pleasure of calling the stars by their names, that most pleasng and practical part of the lesson. To astronomy the same as the map is to geography, or to the clear sky what what the directory is to a city. Proved by rule 94 to be 365 times better than the Celestial Globe, and 365 times less trouble to rectify. Of two kinds; one beautifully painted, the other as much like the sky as possible; stars white, on a deep blue-black ground. Both make a complete set. Sold or sent by mail on receipt of $6.00.

A MODEL TEXT-BOOK!

LEMENTS OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY. By EDWIN J. HOUSTON, A.M.,

E Professor of Physics and Physical Geography in the Central High School

of Philadelphia. Price, $1.50.

HOUSTON'S PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY is just such a work on the subject as has long been needed, and its publication supplies a long-felt want in schools of all grades. Especial pains have been taken, and no expense spared, to bring up every feature to the highest possible standard of excellence. With the design of rendering the book peculiarly adapted for the class-room, new features have been introduced, the importance and utility of which will be appreciated by teachers. The syllabus at the end of each chapter is a feature which teachers will especially admire. The work has grown out of the wants of the author in the school-room, and presents the labor of years in this branch of study. With this book the subject can be mastered in less time than with any other text-book heretofore published.

HOUSTON'S PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY

IS THE HANDSOMEST TEXT-BOOK published in the United States. The nost Durably Bound, the Lowest in Price, and teachers who use it say that it is better adapted to use in the school-room, and that better results can be obtained by its use than with any other text-book on the subject as yet published.

SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY---1878.

Without recalling the excellence of the past, the publishers of Scribner's Monthly announce, for the year to come, the following papers:

LITERARY PORTRAITS.-Richard Henry Stoddard, not only one of the most eminent of our poets, but also distinguished for his knowledge of English literature and English literary history, will contribute a number of literary portraits, including those of Keats, Shelley, Mrs. Browning, etc.

ROBERT DALE OWEN.-The last work of this remarkable man's life was devoted to a series of political reminiscences written for Scribner's Monthly. He has left the series incomplete, but we have at least three intensely interesting papers on political men and political events connected with the history of his early life, written in a style as pure and forcible as that of his best days.

SOME OLD MASTERS--By Clarence Cook (author of "The House Beautiful"), will consist of a series of papers superbly illustrated, on Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michael Angelo, etc. These papers will have an interest and value different from the ordinary magazine articles, as they will give the results of the studies of a life-time by an excellent writer, who is now the most prominent art critic in this country. Subscription price, $4.00, in advance, payable to us or to any book-seller. SCRIBNER & Co., 743 Broadway, N. Y.
