We do enter most earnest protest against
those dreadful iconoclasts who arc deter
mined TO deprive US of our sentimental he.
roes and horoincs. We gave up Tell with
= pang, we sacrificed the brave and bcau;e-
Gus Pocahontas with another, and still the
work Of destruction goes on. Now comes
Mr.. T. A. Trollopc, and very ingeniously
spoils that most tragic story Of passionate
faith and love-thc story of Francesca da
Rimini. He dims the glowing colors Of
Boccaccios romance and sends harsh dis
cord through the tender music OF Dante's
verse. by o careful collation. Of dates Il.
proves that Francesca was very decidedly
not all their fancy and ours painted her,
but false creature, whose life of ten years
was one utterly vile and deceptive. Alas
why couldn't Mr.. Trollopc have left US ono
romancel After this We can anticipate no
less an atrocity than tho assertion that Abe
lard didn't open his faithful arms when
Heloise WAS lowered into his grave, and
that Leandcr, lovely youth, never took his
affection mixed with cold water.

that very elastic word, but she was very
lovely. Her face wasoval, with soft OUT

was noticeable. Purity sat upon her brow,
and delicacy was expressed upon her lips.
Her eyes were daekly tinted, but whether
they were . deep violet, or soft brown,
It ID doubtful II her most loving friends
ever knew, 20 variable were their lights and
shadows. Her hair, which has long been
powdered with the grace Of deep thought,
and the passing of busy years, lay in dain.
~ rings about her forehead, and probably
fell in heavy curls long years ago. when
she begun her songs. Her color Was sof,
olive, but whether II was tinted and toned
by illness, or If nature made 1t Of that deli.
cate shade, cannot tell. Il has never "a
