Mary Howrrr, considerably in advance OF ITS
publication in London The work itself has a.
ready been presented to the public IN version
made in Boston; but to the thousands who hha
scarcely less attraction in the beautiful simplicity
and charming nairete with which the oF'gina!
work has been translated by Mary Hewitt, than
in the genius and feeling OF the tale itseii' Inc
edition lust issued will be warmly welcome. lhe
popularity of Miss Brcner's novels Is unsurpassed
by that of anv other writer of the age. 1hey
have been welcomed both in England and Amer
ica with hearty enthusiasm, and nave oeeh iai
more widely read than were even the unmatched
creations Of Sir Walter Scott at their first appear
ance Something of this extreme popularity may
doubtless be attributed to the fact that they come
from strange country-irom corner OF tie
earth to which few were looking for any thing
genial or intellectual. They open TO us, where
we least expected it, new world of human eS-
perience and we are surprised and delighted TO
find even there the same affections, the same
sources of domestic and social happiness, the
same beauty OF moral principle, and the same
sublinity and sustaining strength OF religious
faith which redeem Life here with us from
barrenncss and woe. This very novelty OF
the works of Miss Bremen would thus
cure them attention and something Of their
great popularity may Justly be ascrloed to that
characteristic. But this is not their highest value
nor does it prescribe the limit of their utility
They teach us how our daily life, here as IN Swe-
den and everywhere, may be made noble aud
beautiful by the exercise OF lively and unfalllng
kindness, and how it Will inevitably be embit
tered by petulant sel6shness and careless dlsre-
gard of the feelings of others. Their lessons are
alwavs most salutarv, and must effect a great
utility in turning the thoughts from the more
Fictitious walks of life to that great world OF
Home which belongs to all, and where all must
look for the permanent and real happiness they
may hope to enjoy. We see complaints that there
is too much uniformity in the character of Miss
Brcmer's successive novels, and calls for some
thing neu For ourselves we are glad that she
confines hcrsefto this especial field. We cannot
have more heathful or more sadly needed teach
inc than her works contain, and so long as 1t
continues to be received with as much avidlty as
at present, we trust there will be no lack of a
prompt supply. The Presidents Daughters has
more stir and exciting interest than the Neighbors
or Home, which have preceded it and 1t en-
forces more directly and emphatically than the
others the essential worth and Importance OF
religious principle. The lack of this has been
noted with regret by many heretofore with this
therefore the same fault cannot be found. We
copy from the Preface, by the accomplished trans.
lator, the following passage for ts literary
interest:
.'No tha least snguarity attending the publication o

NINA" which forms an appropriate sequel to
the Presidents Daughters-and which, indeed, is
published in the London Edition as well as in
the original in close connection with it, has also
been translated by Mary HowI7r, and published
by Winchester and the Harpers.
" The Loco Focos of Allegheny Co. Pa. have
nominated Hon. William Wilkins for Congress,
DR.. Edward D. Gazzam for Senate Ell ah Tro.
villo for Sheriff, Alex Breckenridge J. A. Glib.
son, VIM. Sturgeon, and John Andcregg for
Assembly. There was a sharp contest for Con-
gross between Wilkins, DR.. Gazzam and Hon.
Charles shaler, and Gazzam appeared to be the
popular fayorite, and we thought he would sue
ceed, being the latest renegade from the Anti
Masonic party. He declines the nomination for
Senate. We fear the Wings, with 5000 majority
in the County, are bent on losing it by running
two tickets.
