Prospectus of "Our Young Folks" for 1867.

The Editorial conduct of OUR YOUNG FOLKS will be the same as that which has been so acceptable thus far. The List of Contributors will include, as heretofore, the names of the most distinguished writers of the country, and the Publishers will continue to rely for Illustrations upon the assistance of the best Artists and Draughtsmen. The columns of "OUR YOUNG FOLKS" will be ever open to the most desirable articles in poetry and prose, from whatever source they may come, while the arrangements which are already completed are sufficient to guarantee variety and excellence throughout the year. Among the particular matters of interest that relate to the new volume may be mentioned the following:

THE LEADING STORY of the year will be contributed by REV. ELIJAH KELLOGG, Author of the celebrated Speech of Spartacus to the Gladiators, &c., and will be a vivid picture of the life of American boys and girls a century ago, preserving the history of customs and manners which are now forgotten or unknown, and enlivened with anecdote and incident. It is entitled Good Old Times; or, Grandfather's Struggle for a Homestead. MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, after completing Little Pussy Willow, will still contribute.

"ROUND-THE-WORLD JOE," the popular personage in the old "Schoolfellow," has been engaged, and will appear in a series of articles of adventure and observation in foreign countries.

BAYARD TAYLOR's historic tales of distant lands will be continued.

MRS. A. M. DIAZ has written several articles, of which one, William Henry's Letters to his Grandmother, will be found especially entertaining.

"AUNT FANNY" has supplied several stories which will be printed early in the year.

P. H. C. will give several more of his favorite Lessons in Magic, some of which will take up a different class of experiments from those that have been previously explained.

MUSIC. Each number of the next volume will contain a song, composed expressly for "Our Young Folks," by J. R. THOMAS, the distinguished composer. The words of these songs will be written by EMILY HUNTINGTON MILLER, and each song will be especially adapted to the month in which it appears.

PERRY'S

MOTH AND FRECKLE LOTION.

Chloasma, or Mothpatch, (also called Liverspot,) and Lentigo, or Freckles, are very annoying, particularly to ladies of light complexion, for the discolored spots show more plainly on the face of a blonde than of a brunette; but they greatly mar the beauty of either; and any preparation that will effectually remove them, without injuring the texture or color of the skin, is certainly a desideratum. DR. B. C. PERRY, who has made diseases of the skin a specialty, has discovered a remedy for these discolorations, which is

Prompt, Infallible, and Harmless. Prepared only by B. C. PERRY, Dermatologist, No. 49

Bond Street, New York, and for sale by all druggists.

Price, $2 per bottle. Call for

Perry's Moth and Freckle Lotion.

DR. PERRY treats successfully all cutaneous disease of the Scalp, Loss of Hair, and Premature Grayness.

MOLES, WENS, AND WARTS permanently cured without pain, by personal application. Moth, Freckles, Pimples, Comedones (called black worms), and all brown discolorations removed from the face.

This Diagram represents Madame Foy's Patent
CORSET SKIRT-SUPPORTER,

[graphic]

which is a valuable contribution to a lady's toilet, and one that was much needed. The Corset
Skirt-Supporter in question possesses the necessary qualifications to further and not mar the
progress and development of the human form; consequently in selecting this appendage of a
lady's attire it should be borne in mind that

It improves the constitution, the physical developments, and
outward appearance.

It supplies, as we believe, and that in the most accessible form, a want that must have been felt by every lady in the
"Land we live in." This invention is novel, excellent in plan, made of the best materials and workmanship, and to
those who have adopted it (and they are legion) has proved of the highest importance in securing health and comfort.
The Corset and Skirt-Supporter being combined in one garment deserves the particular attention of the female sex. It
has a special merit, it removes the weight of a lady's skirts from around her waist, and places it where nature intended,
upon her shoulders. In conclusion, we fearlessly state that

It is an unrivalled invention for the purposes intended. (111) BARRETT'S It is WARRANTED TO RESTORE GRAY HAIR TO ITS ORIGINAL,

"POLAND'S WHITE PINE COMPOUND. - After having given it a thorough trial, we can confidently commend Poland's White Pine Compound as a very valuable article for the cure of colds, coughs, and pulmonic complaints generally. In several cases we have known it to give prompt relief when all other remedies which had been tried had failed. It is an article which, in a climate so promotive of sudden and severe colds as is that of New England, ought to be in every family, and we are sure that those who once obtain it and give it a fair trial will not thereafter be willing to be without it."- Boston Journal, Jan. 20, 1866.

EDMUND KIRKE,

AUTHOR OF "AMONG THE PINES," AND OTHER POPULAR WORKS, HAS JUST FINISHED A STORY OF SINGULAR FORCE AND BEAUTY, ENTITLED

"ON THE

BORDER,"

WHICH GREAT STORY IS NOW IN COURSE OF PUBLICATION IN THE COLUMNS OF THAT LEADING STORY AND SKETCH PAPER OF THE AGE,

THE NEW YORK WEEKLY.

It is not necessary that we should say anything concerning the ability of

EDMUND KIRKE

to the readers of the "Atlantic Monthly," for they have read him too long to make that necessary. We shall therefore content ourselves with stating that in

"ON THE BORDER,"

EDMUND KIRKE

has left the literary field which he has heretofore explored, and chosen a ground which will be entirely new to his readers. The most prominent character in this

TRULY GREAT STORY

IS

"THE MAN WHO SAVED KENTUCKY,”

and the narrative carries with it additional interest from the fact that this hero was a member of that degraded class, "THE POOR WHITES."

The pages of romance may be searched in vain for an equal to this real character, in comparison with whom "Harvey Birch," made immortal by Fenimore Cooper in "The Spy," is tame and spiritless. The work is full of thrilling situ ations, and the reader is held spell-bound from the beginning to the end by the hair-breadth escapes, deeds of daring, and varied characters which follow each other, like wave upon wave, as the narrative progresses. It is not too much to say that if

EDMUND KIRKE

has gained a proud position in the literary world by his previous works, he has immortalized himself in.

ON THE BORDER,

NOW READY IN

THE NEW YORK WEEKLY,

and for sale by all News Agents throughout the United States and the Canadas.
