not to tho interests hioh they represent.
The attraction of the story depends less on inc
excitement Of the plot, which is simple in Its con-
.1,c,ion ard natural in It's details, than on its tne
developments of character, and the viGor end
beauty Of its descriptions. In the experience OF the
heroine. Hannah Thurston, the powe. of deep ana
genuine affection TO tsmpcr an excessive love OF
theory is admirably depicted; The progress o. her
mind constantly wins upon the interest OF 'he
reader; and he OF length shares tie common JOY
whom she escapes from the perils of too great love
of snacrla,ion and attains the heights OF serene
and noble womanhood.
A beautiful piece Of still life is presented IN 'he
picture of Hannah Thurstons mother, trHs'iui!
