This is an historical romance founded on the |
events growing out Of the war between the
Goths and Romans. The spirit Of tho age is
,laimed By the author to be fairly represented, |
although the characters in the main are Gct |
iious, the Roman Emperor IIonorius, and
Gothic King Alarlc appearing occasionally at
such times and in such places as history ycri |
fes. The plot Of this story j. quite ingenious,
the movement stately, suitne the theme and

Miss Moore is a good go7ernes-, and the
story is story Of how she won the hearts Of
her three little pupils by her combined Grmncss
and persistent kindness. The little girls APP
pear rather old for their years, and we doubt
the expediency Of representing their grand
mamma as such crusty old creature but on
the whole we must pronounce the book good

one Of the best Of that writer novels Though
there is less variety Of crime in this than in
