I4TsWe are disposed to think any thing
good which has the name of SHERI-
DAN connected with it in any way

rainy day, to make the story attract

Good for Him." may afford satisfac-
tory recreation, but better reading
may be had with very little tronble or
expense.

The opening scenes enlist the SYM
pathies and excite the curiosity Of
the reader to such an extent that he
will be sure to continue through many
succeeding chapters with increasing
interest till near the close Of the book,
when the interest will perceptibly
diminish to point approaching fat
ness and insipidity. $50 ae
A fastidious taste might take ex-
to the authors disposition of I
