Read what the Editor of the Sunday Dispatch
says OF it =" We are sure that every lover of a
pure and healthy literature will welcome this trans
lation, by Mary Hewitt of the last story of the
gentle and amiable Swedish authoress The purity
of the writings of Miss Bremen, their sympathetic
power, and the excellent morals which ever incul-
Gates, render her novels welcome to the Family
Circle. They teach patience, affection and endur-
anee, In such manner as to improve and crafty
every mind. This story is quite equal to her best
and proceeds with mild and artistic delineation
to the denouement. We specially recommend it as
a story which it will do any one good to read The
edition is authorized by Miss Bremen, and it con-
tains dedication by herself to the memory of her
friend, the late A. J. Downing"
Read what the editor of the Saturday Ereninq
Post says -
THE Four SISTERS, by Fredrika Bremen is one
OF those novels, by this genial author, which have
so pleasantly opened to us the doors of Swedish
homes, warmed our hearts to their cheerful fire.
side glow, and made us familiar with the lights
and shadows of Swedish life. Perhaps in this
work the shadows predomlnate or at least appear
strongly, for the subject of the story is woman's
life and woman's fate, in country where, as Mrs.
Browning puts it, there is
- no help for women weeping out of sight.
Because men made the laws
Miss Bremer's adhesion to what is known in this
country as Woman's Rights is well known, and
this novel may be considered her illustrations and
defence OF her views on that subject. Apart from
all considerations of this nature the novel is full
OF rich humor, clever character painting and felic-
tous descriptions of town life and country fe and
indoor and outdoor scenery in Sweden. The trans
lation has been made by Mary Hewitt, who seems
born to do two things remarkably well-write ad-
mirabe stories of her own, and admirably trans
late the stories of Miss Bremen"
Read what the Daily Times says of it:
Miss Bremen possesses, beyond any other liv-
ing writer of her class, the power of realizing to
the imagination every individual she introduces.
The moral beauty and womanly purity which stead
lily illuminate her narrative, must receive implicit
admiration from all persons. We would advise all

Q A S H !

At the present time there is quite large num-
Der of persons who will not be trusted at all, and
there is a much larger portion of the community
who cannot get credit any where, but are obliged
to pay cash at credit prices. These two classes
form, perhaps more than one-half of our popula-
ton and there is no good reason why poor man
should pay more than a rich one and no sense at
all in charging CASH CUSTOMERS for bad debts
incurred under the present mode of merchandising.
If the people will only bestow thought upon
the subject they will at once see that-payng GUS
toners assume all the bad debts or in other words,
they take all the risks of the credit system. The
present time is very discouragng for making debts;
the obligations of the people are now very large,
larger by far than the crops this will dis
charge. Property of all kinds is continually run
ming down, and how would it be with in the
event of total partial failure of the crops
next season? Is there one so blind that he cannot
see that in such event it would take large
amount of property to pay very small debt Who
then, is so bold to increase their liabilities I'M
der this state of things?
Let Retrenchment, Economy, Industry, Perse-
verance and no more MAKING DEBTS be the
WatchwOrd, and take our word for it, in less than
three years time we shall be free from debts, sit
ting by our own firesides surrounded with plenty,
contented and happy.
