Ell, interesting; as q revealer of political
methods, stirring to the consciences of
those who have been or are politicians,
and disturbing to the minds of those who
wish their country well out of the hands
of demagogues. The hero is an migrate
full, designing, selfish boy, who becomes a
deceitful, ambitious, wicked man, but
whose career illustrates the declaration,
'sBehold, your sins will find you out"
Many eyes will be opened, by the reading
of this book, to the peculiar methods
sometimes employed in gaining personal
ends and political preferment, and posi-
bly, some may be led to see very plainly
that the path of the just is the only one
that shineth brighter and brighter to the
perfect day.

triotic story is peasant child with the
