coloring vivid, the characters, in some instances, natural and consistent, and the aim of the wellknown author-to "deepen the conviction of the utter uselessness and folly of attempting to upbuild character and life on any superstructure except that of absolute honor and unselfish adherence to whatsoever things are true "-admirable. And yet, have we not sensational, high-strung, improbable novels enough? and could not this very sweet, needful lesson have been taught, and quite as effectually, with less of the unnatural, unreal, stage-like element, which oppresses us as we lay it down?
