One Volums 12mo, ST..
TIME object Of this tale is to exhibit in different
j phases, in high life and low life, the accursed
effects Of intemperate drinking the bane Of social
life the of civilized man. The characters are
well and sharply drawn, and the various scenes are
described with much spirit and graphic effect. n
We are disposed to regard the book as the best
OF its kind that has yet appeared. Boston Traveler
1t is not often that we read story Of any kind
but we have broken practice and have read this
book not only with pleasure, but with qualification
which but very few novels have ever afforded u.s. 1t

picture of American social lfe.-Chieago Tribune.

The style is attractive and fascinating; there il
freshness and originality about it, that is very pleas
ing. One of its chief merits is tho excel

characters that You read it with absorbed attention
1t cannot fail to achieve for Mrs Collins an enviabe
popularity. She takes with her to the drunkard's
home, and tells Of the hunger and tho fear tho toll
and the suffering, that there. She paints with
a womans delicate Skill the meek patience, the
long abused, but unchangng love of the drunkards
wife, touches the deepest chords of the heart and

Though Mrs. Collins has already hosts of admi
rers OF her literary productions, this work we pre-
dict, will increase that number ten fold and give
her reputation worthy of hcr high talents Neso

Tho style is easy, natural, beautiful chaste, and
Mt times very eloquent. We would commend 1t es-
pecialy to young ladies' that they may soc to what
dangers they exposed in forming alliances with
the fashionable in high life.-Ohio Organ.
A deeply interesting and powerful work 1t vivid
ly portrays some of tho terrific exploits of strong
drink in both high and low life Nor such scenes
as it depicts either imaginary few. Let this book
circulate. 1t has benefcent aim and is the vehicle
of admirably old and most salulary lossons.-Pres-
bytertan.

fascination, well in its grim and dismal aspect
Of open degradation. Rarely has a woman ventured
to hold the torch to such dark recess Of human
woe.-Daiiy Times.

1t is indeed n gem. We doubt whether the celebra-
ted chapter devoted to the death of Eva, in Uncle
Toms Cabin, Is superior \ II is certainly
tho most powerful temperance tale that we have ever
peruscd.--.Jo,oRai and Messenger.
