GOLDEN DAYS is far ahead of any weekly paper published in the United States having for its object the culture and amusement of the youthful mind.  Now, in its Twelfth Volume, it exhibits every sign of strength, permanency and progression.  Mr. Elverson, the proprietor and editor, is one of those men who believe it a duty to do what they can for their race, and wisely he is doing for the “rising generation” a work which, for him, is “a work of love.”  Aiming to benefit our youth, through history, science, philosophy, geography, mechanics, etc., in a manner easily comprehended, he has made his journal the efficient instrument of his noble purpose.  Could he see the anxiety on the faces of his young friends awaiting the arrival of Golden Days by the mail or the news agent, he would feel that his efforts to please them were not in vain, and that the running of his great presses, day and night, at Ninth and Spruce Streets, was indeed to them a gratification and blessing.

From the Teachers’ Journal, York, Pa.

GOLDEN DAYS.—­One of the most perfectly beautiful weekly magazines for boys and girls we have ever seen.  It is published weekly and bound monthly.  You can get the four weeklies bound together, if you prefer.  Each monthly contains eighty large four-column pages, beautifully illustrated, with illuminated covers and the very best reading matter for the young.  It is heartily indorsed by the best religious papers, and should take the place in our households of the injurious stuff that will find an entrance, if nothing better is supplied.

From the Maryland School Journal.

GOLDEN DAYS (Elverson, Philadelphia) has fulfilled its promise, and is in every respect a suitable weekly paper to put into the hands of young boys and girls.  We have carefully watched each number since the start, and have seen in it nothing to censure and much to praise.

We can unhesitatingly say that the Golden Days, published at Philadelphia by James Elverson, is the finest publication for boys and girls in America.  The matter is first-class and of a high standard.  If you are not a subscriber send for a sample copy.
