The moral Of the close is more obvious than
the gist of the phllosophising in the progress of
the volume Enforcing the Christian precept
of mercy to the erring, il rebukes the feroci'y
Of tramplng on the tsllen. But the beautiful
Illustration Of this twice blessed quality

Of definite aim and the blending of irreconcla-
bic elements in tho composition Of tho work.

to which she il entitled by her admirable tai
ents. she should avoid, as she would the tooth
Of dragon, the intense and absorbing subjec-
th ity which runs through this production.
She is fairly cntangled in the iron meshes
Of an exaggerated selfconsciousness, and
makes her story the vehicle of the re-
Elections suggested TO sensitive mind by

Of promise for writer 80 young. She will
find more wholesome lessons in the suggestions

duced too many unconscious imita.ors in our
own country.
