FORTHCOMING WORKS BY FANNY FERN

The admirers of Fanny Fern--and their
name is million-will be gratfed to learn that
she has three new volumes in preparation. A
second volume of Leaves" from her Port
folio" will appear in the course of the coming
autumn Little Ferns for Fanny's Little
Friends is the title of another work which
will probably be ready in time for Christmas.
The third work contemplated will be one of
very peculiar and, we venture to predict, ias-
cnating interest-the time for definite descrip-
ton of which has not yet arrived. 1t will prob
ably see the light before another year has roll
ed away All of these works are to be pub
lished by Derby g. Miller, of Auburn. 1t will
further crafty the friends of Fanny Fern to be
assured-as they hereby are--that the accounts
which have appeared in the papers, of the e1-
traordinary sale of the volume of Fern Leaves
already published are not exaggerated. On
the contrary, the facts have been understated.
Up to the end of the eighth week from the day
on which the book was published thirty thous-
and copies had been sold. Owing to the libe-
raj, or, more correctly speaking, Just arrange
ments made with her enterprlsing publishers,
the authoress derives proper share of the pro-
ceeds Of this almost unprecedented sale. We
congratulate her most heartily upon her sue
cess, ana we TRUST tnat stlH greater ulumpns
are in store for her Fanny Fern is q gentle
hearted, high-minded, richly-endowed lady
Her mind is not receptacle which may be
exhausted-but spring, ever filing and ever
fresh. She now has more leisure than she for
merly had, has gained experience and practice
in her art and acquired that self-possession in
the presence of the great public, which is as
necessary to an author as to speaker. We
therefore expect, with the utmost confidence,
that her present position in literature will be
more than sustained by the works announced
above.-Home Journal.

lhe history Of Bethel Church is both

and liberty fought hand in hand; wu.a
the right struggled with might: when
