Who has not beard of “ the tune the old cow died on?’' That tune is prob­ ably a myth, but it is an actual fact that cows have an ear for music, and that in the. tat* west stampeding herds are soothed by the singing of the herdsmen. Every cowboy knows variety of hymns, and it is with church music that the stampedes are prevented. * . \ . IngersQiU says “ the Presbyterian church is on a'toboggan slide.” The Presbyterian church could not consist­ ently say as mu^h for Ingersoll. I t takes plenty of snow, for a toboggan slide, and, from the church’s stand point, moisture does not congeal, at least at the lower end of the Helmed plane, which Mr. I. is fast descending. I t is a popular phrase to say of person who has a stomach which is not a usitive that he has “a stomach like st horse. This is no empty phrase. I t is hosed upon fact. ‘‘Nothing on earth will upset a horse’s stomach,” says current writer. “ This is not be­ cause the horse does uot feel paiii, but simply because the horse hoe no gal bladder.” A widowof Westerly, R.

Mrs, Livermore spent four years bb a nurse in hospitals, camps, at the flout, find on the battle-field, and these, four years were packed with pathos, glory and sacrifice probably never parallel­ ed in thp life of any .other woman. What a wonderful work she, did. Mow heroic her labors, how thrilling her experience in those •dark years. Jt is a story never’ to be Jforgotten. When she first entered upon her hos­ pital career a deathly faintness came over her, but she nerved herself' for the work that had to be doue, and soon became accustomed to it. Never again were her nerves disturbed by hospital sights and scenes, For four years she'held herself in iron <control, andgave herself up to motherly miu istrations to the sick and wounded of the rank and file,. We regard this splendid hook as a wholly unique work, for it presents the womanly, or what may very ap­ propriately be termed the heavenly side of the war, and lias never hither­ to been written, I t lifts the curtain, and shows how heroic and devoted and blessed her work was. I t is full of the deepest pathos, the richest humor, the most touching tales, the most stirring anecdotes and incidents, and through the whole runs the story of the adventures aud striking exper­ iences of its illustrious author. Strung* e r stories are here told than romance ever dreamed of, every one of then), drawn from real life by a woman’s hand. In every chapter she weaves in anecdote after anecdote, incident after incident, story after story, and the reader’s attention is held breath less to the elnl of the volume. Shouk every other hook on the war he hlott- ed out of existence, this one owouk completely reflect the spirit and work of the women of the North. In read ing Jt our eyes were often filled with tears; at other times wo were convuls­ ed with laughter at its rich humor. Such a work, by so eminent an author at whose feet hundreds of thousands have sat and listened in admiration and wonder, whose power, wisdom, in fiuence, and fame are now world wide, is the literary event of onr times. But the illustrations l An able critic recently said, “This is the most richly embellished work ever published in America.” We endorse this opinion. There are splendid steel-plate portraits of famous nurses of Union soldiers, and many plates illustrating hospital scenes and thrilling incidents in woman’s army 4ife. No newspaper description can do these costly plates justice. They must be seen to be ap­ preciated. There are also aplendet fac simile plates of famous old battle- flags, from photographs and paintings made flora the original flags,'’ print* in sixteen colors from one hundrec and twenty-eight engraved stones. They show all the color*, tints, blood stains, rents, shot-holes, and splinter* •toffs. exactly as they appear In the original flags. As we look a t them it is hard to believe that the real flags are not before ns. Evan the lettering and inecriptioM are perfectly repro­ duced in gold. I f we speak warmly of the book, it hi because it richly dcacives i t I t sold only by agents, and is meeting with an enormous sale. Agents who introduce a work of such sterling merit ought to be cordially welcomed. We believe that the best way to keep out poor books is by introducing vgood oner, and a better and moreabsorbing­ ly interesting and thrilling work than rids has Certainly never been brought to our notice. I t is rarely that one can spejik in terms of such unqualified praise of any book. Pu t it Into your homes.
