...setting forth in concise and attractive form the whole history of the republican party, defending its policy, and giving the reasons which justify its continuance in power. This little book is well worth a careful perusal by both parties, as it is not a mere political squib, but a clear and accurate description of the republican party from its origin down to the present day. It may be had at the Co-operative, Amee's, and Sever's. It is bound attractively in the stars and stripes, and is published by the Query Publishing Co., Hartford, Conn...
...power to a wrong use; second, those who used hypocrisy and feigned piety as cloaks for iniquity; third, those who wilfully rejected the truth or who prevented it for their own interest.

We do not want men to stay from Jarvis; we hope every man who can will show how strong an interest he has in the work of the team...
...short essay, "An Ambition," is an attempt to answer the old question "Is life worth living?" Its delicacy and thoughtfulness make one regret that it is not more elaborate. The idea of "Misericordia," is good and the style is clear and well-worded, but the brevity and disjointedness of the treatment detract much from the general effect of the story.
