The story is beautifully planned and executed as
only the true artist can execute such things. It treats
of what is common and apparent, but gids all with
that golden glory which seems as a ray Of mornings

feeling throughout. 1t is wonlanly in its conception
and details credable to the authoress and will be
highly agreeable to the reader,

pleasing and in her own way, few more instructive.
