1t is not often that we read a story of any kind,
but have broken practice, and have read this

her reputation worthy of her high talcnts-Nsto

The style is easy, natural, beautiful chaste, and
at times very eloquent. We would commend it os-
pccially to young ladies' that they may see TO what
dangers they exposed, in forming alliances with
the fashionable in high life Ohio Organ.
