There is nothing striking or original in il

tors, to the simple naturalness or fidelity
nature and to their social conditions, wit
which they deport themselves. Mrs. Leigh
ton, as "Mshitable Cartright," J" can be read
lily placed in real life by every one VIII
sees her in that roll, while Yankee Locke,s
"Switchell," has been seen and identihe
a thousand times.

fell into gloom of mind, his occuPa.iO
} gone, and Mr.. Locke, as his hopeful Sol
were each in his best vein.
