The Making of Jane.

Charles Scribner's Sons, Publishers.
We are first introduced to Jane in the
nursery, so that the process Of manu-
facture is described from its beginnings
However, we do not have much of Jane
as child, for which we are profoundly
grateful. James CHILDHOOD, in her char
acterisucs, reminds US to strongly of that
of another Jane, whose surname was
Eyre; but Miss Elliott is not Charlotte
Bronte, and the resemblance is not al
together conducive of pleasure We soon
find Jane as young girl, and a very
sulleless one. OF course she is loved by
two men-a heroine who does not have
at least two beaux 20 her string is not
to be described in these days of affluence.
Equally. Of course one of the lovers is
in all respects admirable. and the other
a very proper villain; and yet more. of
course, than all, she falls in love with
the villain. This sort Of thing in the
novels of the day is beginning to sap
our faith in the intelligence of the young
woman of the period. What makes it
more Irritating, there is generally every
reason, as far as the reader can discover,
that the better man Should have been pre-
ferreG, and Tie Making OF Jane gives
us no exception by which to prove the
rule. That any girl in her senses-or in
deed out of them-should fall in love with
so that we are forced to the conclusion
that the first step that Jane took toward
her making was to make an idiot of her
self. Then ensue complications, to some
extent governed by the influence of Il
Mrs. Saunders. who is also in love with

and finally Mark deserts Jane, which is
decidedly the kindest thing he could do
for her. But she does not appreciate
this, and to drown her grief, as well az
work-and hard work at that So sire
goes to teaching, and we can but COM
mend her choice as to its hardness of
task. However. she does not continue
to instruct-possibly because she found
the emolument incommensurate with the
labor and was beginning to get the wis
dom that cometh with experience-and SO
she begins life anew as miiliner. The
making of bonnets in some way, we as
sumo, though we are not distinctly 80
told, conduces to the furtherance of the

we read his speech: Now. 1 shall not

you away; you will come with me, Jane.
