READ WHAT THE PAPERS SAY:

It already excels every child's paper that we know of in this country.-Chicago Even. Journ. THE LITTLE CORPORAL.-The Pittsburgh Christian Advocate says: "The best paper for children, published in this great country of ours, is The Little Corporal. It is a gem in the catalogue of monthlies."

Forney's Philadelphia Daily Press says of it: "The Little Corporal is destined to become the great children's paper of America."

It is, without doubt, the best and cheapest children's gazette published anywhere,”—Marshall (Mich.) Statesman.

The Little Corporal.-Though modestly calling itself by a subordinate title, it is really a very Major General among the children's magazines.-Chenango Telegraph. (Norwich, N. Y.) The most interesting and instructive monthly in the Union.-Louisville Democrat. Universally admitted to be the best juvenile paper now in existence.-Dubuque Daily Times, It strikes the right key, and is admirable-neither heavy nor silly, but simple, fresh, buoyant, and earnest.-Adams' (N.Y.) Visitor.

Its influence for good can never be estimated.-Grand Haven News.

Indeed, there is no paper of the kind published that approaches it as a juvenile journal. -Poughkeepsie Daily Press.

It is the cleverest thing of its kind yet realized in America.-Roxbury (Mass.) Journal. The Little Corporal.-Certainly we have seen nothing in the shape of a child's paper which could compare with this which comes to us from over the prairies.-Portland (Me.) Daily Press. The Little Corporal is conducted with a great deal of tact, taste, and care. Either this paper or Our Young Folks-and it would be hard to choose between them-would prove a welcome present for the children.-The Nation.

It should be in every household.-N. Y. Teacher.

It is now, as it has been, the child's magazine of the country.-Norwich (N.Y.) Telegraph. The brave, beautiful, and good Little Corporal conquers all.- Vermont State Journal. The Little Corporal is at hand. There never was a better paper printed for children. We should desire no better monument to leave behind us in the world than the gratitude of the little folks who read this paper, all the way from Maine to Oregon -Bloomington (Ill.) Pantagraph. It is a gem. Chaste, elegant and excellent in its every department.-Lancaster (Pa.) Repub. After a careful examination, we can cheerfully say of The Little Corporal that it deserves all the praise that has been lavished upon it by the press everywhere.-Philadel. Episcopal Recorder.

The above are only a tithe of the many beautiful notices our young soldier has received. Address

This Mr. Littell has done, and done so well as to have deserved and earned for himself the thanks and esteem of all grateful readers. Out of so wide a field to select with taste and good judgment requires a talent in its way quite as rare as that which produces a brilliant article. Of "The Living Age" it universally popular and useful. we have a complete set upon our shelves, and we find

From the Historian, Jared Sparks. I fully concur with Mr. Justice Story in his estimate the utility and importance of "The Living Age" as valuable contribution to our literature, not merely of mporary interest, but of permanent value.

From Chancellor Kent.

I approve very much of the plan of your work, The Living Age," one of the most instructive and popar periodicals of the day. I wish that my name may added to the list of subscribers.

From the Historian Prescott.

I have little doubt that Mr. Littell will furnish a althy and most agreeable banquet to the reader; and seems to me that a selection from the highest foreign urnals will have a very favorable influence on our ading community.

From George Bancroft.

From the specimens that the public has seen, it cant be doubted that Mr. Littell is able to make, from e mass of contemporary literature, instructive and teresting selections. I wish you success with all my

Of all the periodical journals devoted to literature nd science which abound in Europe and in this couny, "The Living Age" has appeared to me the most

From an article in the Independent, written by Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher.

From N. P. Willis, in the Home Journal. "Tenderloin,' ," "foie gras," are phrases, we believe, which express the one most exquisite morsel. By the selection of these from the foreign reviews, - the most exquisite morsel from each, -our friend Littell makes up his dish of 'Living Age.' And it tastes so. We commend it to all epicures of reading.

From the New York Times.

From a Gentleman in Knoxville, Tennessee, writing under date of May 14, 1864.

You can scarcely be more gratified to hear from me than I am to renew my acquaintance with you through the "Living Age." Among all the deprivations of the last three years (nearly), that of your journal has not I assure you, been of the minor class. As, however, I had a complete set of it from the beginning, I turned to the bound volumes, and gave them quite a thorough reading. Indeed, these same volumes proved a real the midst of the protracted literary dearth that we solace and refreshment intellectually to the family, in have suffered. We therefore hail the return of your familiar face, as a journalist, with sincere pleasure, as we welcome the spring after a long and severe winter, and wish you long life, and an uninterrupted career of usefulness.

They have already been introduced into the public schools of many of the largest cities from New England to California, among which are BOSTON, PHILADELPHIA, WASHINGTON, CHICAGO and SACRAMENTO, and the Physical Geography is meeting with heavy sales in CANADA, ENGLAND and GERMANY.

The language she uses is addressed to their imagination and curiosity, and singularly well adapted to their capacity." "So interesting is this little book, and so wisely chosen is the substance of the lessons, that it would be a blessing to pupils and teachers wherever it should be used."

State Normal Schools.

The normal Schools at Framingham and Salem are designed for the education of female teachers; those at Bridgewater and Westfield for the education of teachers of both sexes. The course extends over two years, of two terms of about twenty weeks each, for all except those who have been graduated at a college, for whom the course covers only one term. Any person entering either of the schools, with extraordinary preparation, may obtain a degree in onehalf or three-fourths of the time usually required.

To those who intend to teach in the public schools in Massachusetts, wherever they may have previously resided, tuition is free; and to pupils from this State, pecuniary aid is also given, when needed. Most of the text-books used are furnished from the libraries of the several schools.

The public examinations will take place as follows:

At FRAMINGHAM, on Tuesday, July 10th, 1866, and Jan. 29th, 1867.

At SALEM, on Thursday, July 12th, 1866, and Jan 31st, 1867.

At BRIDGEWATER, on Tuesday, July 17th, 1866, and Feb. 5, 1867.

At WESTFIELD, on Thursday, July 19th, 1866, and Feb. 7, 1867.
The Examinations for admission will occur

At FRAMINGHAM, on Tuesday, Sept. 4th, 1866, and Feb. 12th, 1867.
At SALEM, on Thursday, Sept. 6th, 1866, and Feb. 14th, 1867.

At BBIDGEWATER, on Tuesday, Sept. 11th, 1866, and Feb. 19th, 1867.

At WESTFIELD, on Thursday, Sept. 13th, 1866, and Feb. 21st, 1867.

At each examination, in all the schools, reading will receive particular attention, and the Lee prizes for excellence in reading will be conferred upon the best readers. For circulars, or for further information, application may be made to the principals of the several schools. The following are the conditions on which the Lee prizes may be received:

To deserve a prize, the candidate must possess naturally, or have gained by discipline, 1. A fulness of voice which shall enable him to fill, without apparent effort, the room occupied by the class. 2. Perfect distinctness of articulation, giving complete expression to every vocal element, and letting the sound of each word fall clearly upon the ear of the hearer, especially at the end of every sentence. 3. Correct pronunciation, with that roundness and fulness of enunciation, and sweetness and mellowness of tone, which only can satisfy and charm the ear and reach the heart; and 4. Just emphasis, clearly marked, but not overstrained. 5. He must reae naturally, and with spirit, avoiding all affectation and mannerism, and keeping at the same timn clear of the lifeless monotony common in schools, and of the excess of emphasis which so ofted characterizes poor declamation. 6. In the reading of poetry, his tones must be those of unaffected emotion, free at once from the tameness of prose, and from the too measured cadences of verse
