Try Again.

How of has disappointment marred
Some cher she'd plan Of mine,
And hidden winter clouds appear
Where summers sun should shine;
Yet as they darker grew,
I've seen some'wondrous pen
Upon the very blacklist write
The sentence Try again"
How often, in the Silly hour
OF night, the heavy sign
In sympathy has strove to meet
The tear-drop in my eye;
And then, like angels whispering
Their messages to men,
I've heard a quiet breathing of
The sentence, 'Try again"
How often, as I've walked amidst
Life's ever busy tide,
And jostled with favored ones
On each and every side;
When my misfortunes seemed to be
Overwhelming, even then
Has some good spirit breathed to me
The sentence, "Try again"
Nv guardian angel it must be,
Or else the weight Of care
Had sunk me in the very depths
0fsorrow and despair;
But, oh, my heart much lighter seems,
And hope shines brighter, when
l hear that spirit softly breathe
The sentence, "Try again"

A TALE OF DOMESTIC LIFE.

400 pp. l2mo, Cloth. Price, $l,25.
EVERYBODY knows FANNY FERN
IL everybody has laughed and cried over
her sparkling, dashng truthful, genial writ
ings; everybody will wish to read this her
first novel, and every one who does read it
will pronounce it her greatest work. Says
an able critic who has read the proofsheet,
|" RUTH HALL is a work which not only
exceeds anything which FANNY FERN
has before written, but which, in many re-
spects, surpasscs any other work whatever.
For intense and sustained interest of nara
tive, for originality Of conception and treat
ment, for scorching scarcasm and withering
rebuke Of prctentions and hypocracy, for
elevation Of moral tone and winsomencss of
religious inculcutons, for vigor, freshness,
simplicity, directness and fascination of
style, we have never seen its equal.
The story takes possession of our heart
at once; we follow RUTH through her
trials with rs much interest as though she
were our own sister; she breaths not n
sigh, she suffers not sorrow, which the
reader does not feel rs accutely as though
the first came from his own heart, and the
second was one of his own sad experience.
The characters are such rs we are constant
ly meeting in everyday life: and how bold.
ly and skilfully they are drawn, how pow
erfully the story is told,.how touching is its
pathos, how sparkling is its wit, how ire
sstable its humor, how severe its satire and
how true its moral, no adequate idea can be
gained except by reading it,"
RUTH HALL will be for sale by book
sellers generally. To any one sending us
the retail price we will send n copy of the
work by mail, post paid.
