And so, Philip and Gerald, as says Brutus in the play, “give me your hands all over, one by one.” I am loath to let you go, but I must. Good-bye.

=Shoulder Arms=; or, The Boys of Wild Lake School. By John Preston True. 12mo. Illustrated. 1 25
We heartily commend _Shoulder Arms_ to young readers――boys and girls alike――confident that its reading will leave a permanent impression for good. The volume is handsomely printed and illustrated. The tasteful cover design is from the pencil of the wife of the author.――_Boston Transcript._
It stimulates the reader to the very last, and yet is free from the taint of cheap sensationalism.――_Christian Advocate._
=Peter the Preacher=; or, Reaping a Hundred-Fold. By Carlisle B. Holding. 12mo. 1 25
The author of this striking story tells us that it is improbable only in appearance; that of every incident in the book a counterpart may be cited in real life. It is a tale of the call to the ministry of a young man, and of his strange adventures in beginning his life-work among the rough men of a Western town. It is a sound, wholesome story, and may be an inspiration to some who are trying to make the best of both worlds.――_Sunday-School Banner._
=Drummer Boy of the Rappahannock.= By Edward A. Rand. 12mo. Illustrated. 1 25
The readers of the _Intelligencer_ have already enjoyed a part of this book in reading the story of _Nurse Frye_, published some years ago in this paper. The present tale includes that of the nurse as an incidental part. But it is different in its main details and general purpose. It gives among its incidents some stirring scenes of the Civil War, and brings out the grand lesson that it is manly and brave to “take sides” in matters of great importance to character. The honest, temperate, and God-fearing are shown to be on the right side always. The story is full of interest, and will strengthen any young reader in a determination to stand up for the truth.――_Intelligencer._
