3. A Lieutenant at Eighteen. 4. On the Staff. 5. At the Front. 6. An Undivided Union. "There never has been a more interesting writer in the field of juvenile literature than Mr. W. T. ADAMS, who, under his well-known pseudonym, is known and admired by every boy and girl in the country, and by thousands who have long since passed the boundaries of youth, yet who remember with pleasure the genial, interesting pen that did so much to interest, instruct, and entertain their younger years. 'The Blue and the Gray' is a title that is sufficiently indicative of the nature and spirit of the latest series, while the name of _Oliver Optic_ is sufficient warrant of the absorbing style of narrative. This series is as bright and entertaining as any work that Mr. ADAMS has yet put forth, and will be as eagerly perused as any that has borne his name. It would not be fair to the prospective reader to deprive him of the zest which comes from the unexpected by entering into a synopsis of the story.

Watch and Wait; OR, THE YOUNG FUGITIVES. 4. Work and Win; or, Noddy Newman on a Cruise. 5. Hope and Have; OR, FANNY GRANT AMONG THE INDIANS.. 6. Haste and Waste; OR, THE YOUNG PILOT OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN. "Though we are not so young as we once were, we relished these stories almost as much as the boys and girls for whom they were written. They were really refreshing, even to us. There is much in them which is calculated to inspire a generous, healthy ambition, and to make distasteful all reading tending to stimulate base desires."--_Fitchburg Reveille._ The Starry Flag Series. By OLIVER OPTIC. In six volumes. Illustrated. Any volume sold separately. Price per volume, $1.25. 1. The Starry Flag; OR, THE YOUNG FISHERMAN OF CAPE ANN. 2.
