HOW Is 1T?

The well intended citizen who has
not yet decided how to vote at the
coming election may as well consider
his ground. | hope he will inquire
of himself how he likes the condi-
tions since the Republican party has
gone out of power. Has it been
with him individually? Has he had
steady employment? Is he paid
the old Republican wage rate? Does
he find the cost of living any cheap
er and the ability to meet that cost
better? Is his business prosperous:
Ia he contented and confident of the
future as before? When he has an
swered to himself these vital ques-
tions let him, on his way to the polls,
pass the silent mill, the cold furnace
the broken bank, the deserted forge;
let him pass by poverty and want,
business parylized and confidence
vanished, and then record his judge
ment of the responsibility for those
conditions and his hope for Tie
future in the ballot which he places
in the box. From speech of Gen
Hastings at the League of Clubs
convention.

The above comprehensive title is
the name given to Il new book by
DIR. JESSE BOWMAN YoUNG, well
known all over Pennsylvania, his
native State, Us brave and gallant
soldier of the war for the Union, as
also q preacher, lecturer, and writer
of the highest rank.
The story is one Of fascinating
interest. Among the many books
touching upon the events of the
civil war, few that we have read are
SO graphic in description, so COM
prehensive and accurate IN detail, SO
varied in incident, and so elegantly
written as is this book from the pen
Of DR.. Young, To read it is to live
over again the scenes and incidents
Of that tremendous struggle.
DR.. Young is master of style as
vigorous as it is picturesque, and his
description of the battles, the seiges
the marth and indeed the whole
paraphernalia of war gives him high
rank as a writer of war literature.
His descriptions of the battles Of
Pittsburg Landing, Fort Donelson
fredericksburg, Chancellorsville,and
above all, Gettysburg, are worthy Of
place alongside of the "sea fight
and "chariot race" in Ben-Hur.
Every old soldier should have 6
copy of this remarkable book, anc
every family should secure it, and
above all, every boy who loves hi:
country and his country's flag, and
wants to learn of the sacrifices tha
were endured in order to preserv,
the integrity of the Union, shoulc
not fail to read this book.
We invite the attention of ou
readers to the advertisement in an
other column.
