woman, tool More even--how we wish that
zoe had been the very woman who wrote it.
Wha. an admission! nevertheless II is true.
At first we were inclined to think s'Beulah"
misnomer,-it-was all shadow,-but the
flowers and sunshine, the singing OF birds
and the low loving "voice of the turtle,
came at last, and abb how full OF light and
music was that sweet summer of love for
which the lonely orphan toiled, and which by
deserving. it she won. And how real :.Beulah"
isl We go wandering with her about the
piney oods,-stricken with sympathetic woe
we hang over the cofincd form of the
dead Lilly,-with great pain in our hearts
We murmur in the low musical tones of Guy
Hartwell; proud darling, come home and
reaF and with all the fervent gratitude of
the reclaimed Eugene, we exclaim God bless
you, Beuiah" Another reason why we like
"Beulah" is that her troubles are real as well
as herself. She is woman. and her sorrows
are exactly such as hundreds of high-souled.
intellectual women are enduring and con-
quering to-day. She is a beacon light guild
ing others on TO victory-to safety. How
many hearts can sympathiso with her lonely
childhood, her eager thirst for knowledge,
and her wild dreams of fame! How many
souls, in the labyrinths of anthology or wan
dering deep and down upon the bleak wastes
of Pyrrhonism worn, weary and furnishing,
have like her gone back with renewed love to
the sweet old faith of their childhood, to the
Tree OF Life which hung over them in the
fresh early time, and to that never-failing
stream whose waters make glad the city of
our God" Strange that with 1.-The Hidden
Path" or "Beulah. ranking among the NOV
els" on our library shelves. that any thinking
mind should send forth it's indiscriminate
anathema against ''works of fiction" Works
written SO well as "Beulah,n and with so ex-
cellent purpose, cannot fail TO be beneficial,
her soul-experience must become an in
structive lesson to those whose pride of in
tellect has goaded them on into the meta
physical mazes in which she wandered, aud
may save many an earnest and inquiring
spirit from entering those labyrinths, the
threading Of which she found 10 be labor
which satisfieth not" But for the present we
say with Mr.. Lockhart Good bye Beulah,
shake hands. Come again as you can"

recommend it to Teachers and Parents, as
worthy of prominent place in every Family
Sunday School, or Seminary Library.
