Boston Common.

Boston Common is the title Of a new book
in process Of publication by Messrs. French
& Co.
We have read the manuscript with feelings
of deep Interest, knowing the story to be ona
Of real life, and the many, many trials which
crowded the path Of the gifted Helen Clifton,
to be only n part of those endured by the fair
aathoress herself. We fear, alas, that her
tlia OF sorrow and suffering viii moet with a
response from many heart whore JOY and
sunshine only should reign, and that many
a young man, whose vows have bo,n made at
the slered alter, and solemnly registered in
Heaven, will trace his first departure from
coniugal fidelity to the indulgence of that cup
which inabriates, deadens the most ten,ler
ssnsibilities, and changes kind, loving hus-
band, into tyrannical despot. May every
young mln WHO reads Boston Common"
draw from it the good lesson which its pages
teach. and may every young lady WHO'S hap
piness in welded life depends 80 much upla
the sobriety of her chosen one, lend her in
fuence to discoln.enance an evil which
brings 50 much distress and misry whsrs-
ever i, is INDUCED. YE2ITALs.
