] making the total mileage from New
York TO Baltimore 1856 1-2 miles, as COM
pared with the old route through Phila-

vastly inferior in quality.

Coatesville route. as there are no places
on this stretch as bad as on the road by
the way of Chester and Wilmington, al

surrounding themselves with young men
men who are looking forward, not
backward; men who have pinned their
star of hope in the armament, and who
have not hid their lights under bushel.

peeking out from every brick and crevice
