from which a sticky fluid poured out, causing in

the hair came out and was destroyed, until but a

Mr.. ElwelPs Fraternity Papers make a
very attractive and interesting volume, and
have much more permanent value than the
authors very modest preface claims for
them. We feel under personal obligation to
Mr. Elwen for the pleasure of reading in
print what was written for a social literary
Club, but is quite worthy of more extend
ed sphere and larger audience. The essays
contained in this pretty volume are ten in
number and are written in a delightful style,
showing thought, culture humor and the
power of applying and assimilating what
ever comes under the writer's observation
and into his experience. The first essay in
the series, zone Day in Florence" is a
charming paper, and gives us thought for
manr days. A Visit to the Convent of San
Marco is the text for some pleasant pages
upon Fra Angelica and Sayonarola. The
feeling of the writer is in full harmony with
the time of which he writes, and the witch
cry of Italy has cast its magic spell upon
him. In contrast is the paper treating of
The Puritan Sermon, which is full of quaint
ness, and has much local value in preserving
some curious statistics and customs of the
old-time New England preachers and
churches Indeed each essay in the volume
is full of interest and agreeable chit chat,
combined with interesting facts and most
pleasant fancy. We predict for this Fra
ternity Papers much more than local pop
ularity.

Constance of Acadia is by an anonymous
author, the first in a series of historical nov
els connected with the early history of New
England, under the general title of the Old
Colony Series. 1t seems unfortunate that
the publishers should have hit upon so mad
equate and RECONSTRUCTED piece of work for
the initial volume of a series, which, shroud-
ed in mystery as to authorship, has only its
own unaided merit to depend upon for popu-
larity. The author Of Constance of Acadia
is evidently "'prentice han" but there is
nothing in the book which will excuse its
having been written. 1t is crude to the verge
of absurdity, and excessively dull The
most amusing scene in it is unquestionably
intended to be intensely dramatic, but only
succeeds in being ridiculous. Constance, the
wife of Charles La Tour, having come from
France with her husband, who is expecting
from his king the commission of Lieutenant
General of Acadia, wishes to found Hugue-
not colony upon the shores of this New
France.
One morning Constance is breakfasting
alone, her husband having gone ''up the river
in his birch, when her s'pious and wifely re-
Elections" are interrupted by the sound of a
gun and she sees two ships in the ofing. Then
follows this description, when the ships
hove to, and lowered two boats, Constance
went to the landing alone to meet them.
An English baronet (sic) was in the
foremost boat, with the English flag
flying over his head. Constance waved
her hand, and her gunner, upon the plat
form fronting Pentagonet next the sea, fired
shot across the baronet's bows; and his
men peaked their oars. While the boat
swung round to the wind upon the uneasy
tide, Constance, putting her hand to her
mouth for a speaking trumpet, spoke in
clear, penetrating, musical English, Lay

her hand and another shot crossed the bows
of the boat. When in the next uplifting of
her hand, she Haunted her white kerchief
to the breeze, the baronet condcscended to
land from the stern, and the boat and flag
pulled off, and Constance was alone with the
stranger who also held out flag of truce.
The English baronet had an important COM
munication to make to Chevalier La Tour
Ny husband cannot be interrupted upon
trivial business at this hour replied Con-
stance. He will see you later if he thinks it
important. Your present business 1 will at

her father-in-law, Claude La Tour, returned
with her husbands commission as Lieuten-
ant General of Acadia.."
Comment upon this sort of thing is super
fuous. We can only wonder that the Rob-
erts Brothers, whose firm name has been con-
sidered warrant for the best modern litera-
ture should have countenanced such trash.
