"St. Nicholas, Vol. 5, No. 4, February 1878"

Champney. Messrs.
Lockwood, Brooks & Co., of Boston, are the publishers.
SIX SINNERS, by Campbell Wheaton, has to do chiefly with one of the six
dear little "sinners," Dora Maynard, whom girl readers will love right
off. It tells all about her school-days, her pranks and fun, her
troubles and how they were overcome, and tells it in a way so lively
and absorbing that you will want to read all of it at one sitting. The
book is clearly printed in large type, and is published by Messrs.
Putnam, New York.

HIDDEN ACROSTIC.
At the top of a mountain,
Within a clear light;
In the midst of a fountain,
At edge of the night;
In field and in meadow,
In sunshine and shadow,
On land and on sea,
At the end of the earth,
Or in air, we may be.
