The Maid Of the Juniata,
'hAAt- BY
EMERSON BENNETT,

Is the greatest product of his ranscendenty great
pen. 1t is tale of the great border and the char
acters which figure in it various as the many
scenes through which they have to pass. One af er
another are introduced the hardy pioneer, the cum
ming trapper, the willy savage, the eccentric seeker
after adventure, the tender maiden, severed by the
force of circumstances from friends and Kindred the
heroic and daring youth whose aspirations are lofty,
whose soul is fearless and whose deeds are daring
together with miscellaneous crowd of adventurous
spirits presenting almost every phase of human
character each Of whom plays his her part in the
thrilling drama. The storyis replete with scenes
and incidents which cause the blood the reader to
with electric force, and constantly alternating
between joy and sorrow, tears and laughter, inds-
nation and admiration, he suffers and reioices wit
the characters, absolutely seeming act with them
so intensely is he nerested-so deeply is he SPELL
bound. The story never flags from the beginning to
the end and the love portions of 1t are especially
beautiful, and such to enlist the sympathies of
every lady reader. This great story is commenced
in No. Of the present volume, and those who desire
to read ii should send in their orders. Once more
