girl on a low stool, by the side of her mother, 
having put dolly to sleep, and motioning the 
boys to keep quiet, thinks she shall be able to 
keep awake till he comes. In a few minutes the 
white lids have closed over the brown eyes, and 
the chubby hands are folded quietly in her lap. 
Eight o’clock is the children's bed-time, and 
soon the old clock strikes the hour. But. hark !

Of all the brilliant and thrilling books to which the 
war has given life, tins book Is the most brilliant. It sur¬ 
passes cither Action or reality. There are two scenes de¬ 
scribed In it, which alone are worth several limes its 
actual price. The Qrst is that where the Indian Girl 
Lets Loose tlie Carrier Dovo to Sherman, 
and the second, where, amidst the thunder of Fort 
McAllister’s guns that hero 
Dispatches the Last Dove to Grant.

Bolts and bars, locks and keys, 
hedges and pickets, bonds and securities, notices 
to trespassers, are none of them for him. He 
may^bc trusted himself out of sight—near the 
thinnest partition — anywhere. He buys no 
office, he sells none, ho intrigues for none, ne 
would rather fail of his rights than win them 
through dishonor. He will cat honest bread. 
He Insults no man. He tramples on no sensi¬

he is straight-forward, open, manly. In short, 
whatever he judges honorable, he practices 
toward every man.

They dig a grave, tread it down, and go from it full

And one dies about midnight, and the wind moans, 
and no other; 
And the snowe give him a burial; and God loves them 
both.” —Jean Ingeloiv. 
Hubakton had not kuown such a storm in 
twenty years! For three long, dreary days the 
snow had fallen, and the wintry wind had swept 
Yvith a forlorn sound through the single street, 
of the little village, sift.iug the snow from off 
the hills and peaks until it lay In miniature 
mountains before every cottage door. Even 
when the Sabbath came the sextan did not ven¬ 
ture from hi6 home, and no sound from the bell 
upon the old brown church floated across the 
fields to tell the inhabitants of another day of 
rest. But the passage in their well-worn biblee, 
“Rem ember the Sabbath day tojkcep It holy,” 
was not forgotten; and, though they missed the 
benediction pronounced in the tremulous tones 
of their grey-haired pastor, yet the benediction 
of God himself rested down upon many a home 
as they chanted hymns by the blazing fire for 
their evening worship. 
Just over the Hubarton hills, away from the 
village street, stands the type of many a home 
that clings to the 6ide of the mountain range, 
which, wandering down from the north, loses its 
name, and melts away into fair level fields in 
sight of the 6hips that come and go in the har¬ 
bor. The house has never seen a coat of paint, 
but, year after year, the wood has taken n darker 
hue, and an affection strong and constant has 
sprung up between it and the trumpet vine, 
which is almost as old as the house itself, and

day has somewhere swept so low where the 
ocean breaks on the shore in the west that it has 
caught from the sea-shells the old story They are 
ever telling, and now it tvbispers it through the 
branches of the tall pine trees ou either side of the 
road, while, across the fields, a brook that in sum¬ 
mer is the gayest stream ever known, creeps

SPECIAL ATTENTION 
Is called to the number and amounts of onr premiums. 
Both arc so arranged that while it Is almost certain onr 
highest premiums will be taken by clubs containing 
much lew than a hundred names —a very large number 
of our middle and lower premiums will be taken by clubs 
containing nr. few a* six, four and two names. 
HOW EASILY AND QUICKLY, 
Also, the distribution can be made — and it will be maue 
promptly, ou ttic sale of $100,000 worth of our books — 
may be seen from the following fact. There are 
Nearly One Hundred Thousand Persons 
Who seo each issue of this paper, and who, therefore, will 
see this advertisement. Now If cacti of these, or even 
lees, will send ns their own subscription, uud that of a 
friend or so, the whole number of premiums we offer can 
be distributed among them alone. And as we are pub¬ 
licly pledged to fulfill all tills advertisement promises, we 
therefore, ask every one to extend us their patronage.
