The title of this interesting piece of German
romance forms a declaration that has sappcd
more fortunes and disturbed the peace of more
families than almost any other cause in the list
of domestic influences. 1t has wrecked virtue
and led tho way to crime Because 1t is the
fashion 1t must be enjoyed, no matter at what
sacrifice. How far this tale illustrates the dau-
ger that turks in the terms OF its title We arc
unable to say, for we have run over its pages
only In cursory way. The author has high
reputation for the merit of his works, both as
literary aud moral productions.
