A CRITIcIsM.-On the first page of last week
issue we published an original story callet
cloves Caprice" A few days since we re
,ceived the following CRITICISM" from lady
Messrs. Editors In your columns of las
week find q most brilliantly written effusior
which, for "a Life Drama in Three Acts" is, al
the heading states, extremely original. The
composition, though lacking in depth, is good
enough were it not for a vague sort of way
which the author has of playing upon the i'm
| agination." For instance, we are on the
| 'Pentz, journeying along with our friends s}os
in admiration of the beautiful scenery, DC.
when we are suddenly brought to our senses by
the startling announcement that "Fort Carroll
is receding to the rear % My imagination is
pretty vivid, but when one speaks of a whole
| fort getting up and "going back on" itself in
that manor l began to doubt the statement
Immediately.
Leaving this scene to be explained as best il
may, we follow our friends to the Blessington
mansion, where, after his heroic plunge into
the Chesapeake, our hero is seated congratula-
ting Miss Blessington upon her narrow escape,
and expressing hopes that cher experience may
not be reduphcated." duplicate being two,
we can't blame him for not wishing for a re-
duplicate of the same accident.
There are few more slight impossibilities-
one-and very uncomp limentary one to Mr..
Truevean, that Maud should stop to think of o
ing his wealth and happiness at her "other
foot" But then she called him Grant almost
before he had finished proposing to her, and
suppose the "dear boy" was SO pleased at that,
that he failed to notice the want of maidenly
bashfulness on her part. Well make allow
ances for "R. B. Lewis" though, under the try
ing circumstances, and hope that with patience
and perseverance he may succeed better the
next time he attempts to follow cloves Ca
price Yours truly, RIDDLES.
