PROST'S
DIALOGUES
FOR
YOUNO
FOLKS.

collection
of
Original
Moral
and
Humorous
Dialogues.
Adapted
to
the
use
of
School
and Church
Exhibitions,
Family
Gatherings
and
Juvenile
Celebrations
on
all

By
S.
A.
Frost,
author
of
"Frost's
Original
Letter-Writer,"
etc.
This
collection
of
Dialogues
is
just
what
hr.s
long
been
wanted
—
it
contains
a
variety
that
will
suit
every
taste;
some
of
the
subjects
are
humorous,
some
satirical,
hitting
at
the
follies
of
vice
and
fashion,
while
others
are
pathetic,
and
all
are
entertaining.
A
few
of
the Dialogues
are
long
enough
to
form
a
sort
of
little
drama
that
interest
more
advanced
scholars,
while
short
and
easy
ones
abound
for
the
use
of
quite
young
children.
Most
of
the
Dialogues
introduce
two
or
three
charaoters
only,
but
some
require a
greater
number.
