s.= =3. On the Blockade.= =4. Stand by the Union.= =5. Fighting for the Right.= =6. A Victorious Union.= =The Blue and the Gray--on Land.= =1. Brother against Brother.= =2. In the Saddle.= =3. A Lieutenant at Eighteen.= =4. Stand by the Union.= =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. A word, however, should be said in regard to the beauty and appropriateness of the binding, which makes it a most attractive volume."--_Boston Budget._ =Woodville Stories.= By OLIVER OPTIC. Six volumes. Illustrated. Any volume sold separately. Price per volume, $1.25. =1. Rich and Humble=; OR, THE MISSION OF BERTHA GRANT. =2. In School and Out=; OR, THE CONQUEST OF RICHARD GRANT. =3. 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
