TIME object Of this talo is to exhibit in different
j phases, in high lifc and low life, the accnrscd
effects of incorporate drinking the BANJO Of social
life, the of civilized man. The characters are
well and sharply drawn, and the various scenes arc
described with much spirit and graphic effect.
We are disposed to regard the book as the best
Of it's kind that has yet appeared IraOeflef
1t is not often that we read story Of any kind,
but have broken our practice and have read this
book not only with pleasure, but with qualification
which but very fow novels have ever afforded us 1t

picture of American social lifo.-Chieag0 Irsbnne-

The style is attractive and fascinating; there is
freshness and originality about it, that is very pleas
ing. Ono of its chief morris is the excel
lenco of its conversations. Enqui,ey.
Has so many thrilling passages and well drawn
characters that you read with absorbed attention
1t cannot fail to achieve for Mrs Collins cnviabic
popularity. She takes with her to the drunkards
home and tells Of the hunger and the fear the toll
and the suffering, that there. She paints, with
long-abused, but unchanging love Of tho drunkards
wife, touches the deepest chords Of the heart, and
makes them vibrate with pity and with indignation

her reputation worthy of her high taonts.-Nem

The style is easy, natural beautiful, chaste, and
at times very eloquent. We would commend it es-
pocialy to young ladies' that they may 500 to what
dangers they exposed, in forming alliances with

Has skctched it in its daintiest form Of
fascination, as well rs in its grim and dismal aspect
Of open degradation. Rarely has a woman vcnturod
to hold the torch to such dark recess Of human
woe-Dnly Times.
We know of no passage anywhere, moro uniqsey
beautiful, more intensely absorbing more oycrpow-
oring in tho pathetic, than the thirty chapter
1t is indeed gem We doubt whether the cecbra-
ted chapter devoted to the death of Eva in Uncle
Toms Cabin is superior. 1t is certainly
the most powerful temperance tale that we have ever
rused.-Jonvaal and Messenger.
Beautifully written \ 4 work of great
strength and power.-Gopl Herald

est intense to the end.-Ohio Statesman.

Graphic. truthful chaste, and deeply affecting the
story winds itself into our feelings and we become
absorbed in the plot, if behold before our own
eyes the realities of the authors denoations
