A new Star in the Literary Firmament. NELLY EtRACKEN, A Domestic Tale of "Forty Years Ago READ THE CRITICS' OPINION OF NELL V.: "It is beyond any American book of the pres ent day. "The genuineness of its sentiments, its per fectpurity, and truth of its characters to na ture; give it 0. high eminence among the books of the day. "Our readers have heard of an oasis in a des ert—well, Nolly Bracken is the oasis of the dreary desert of American - female literature of the present day.—New York Courier and In. quirer." "Unless we very much misjudge the value, it is destined to no mean rank among the original works of American fiction." "It is. a first effort, and is one full of promise of yet greater excellence."—Boston Atlas. The authoress of Nelly Bracken is with us a new, but by no means an unwelcome acquain tance. We have in our library, those more no ted, but none that we should allow to crowd aside Annie Chambers Bradford, it matterslittle whether she be "sweet sixteen" or the shady side of fiveand thirty. The plot, sum andsub stance of this "tale of forty years ago," we have not time or space the present week to ex plain, and had we time even, it is best that those who have a taste for well wrought narra tives should read, understand and , judge for themselves. The book is. handsomely printed and contains 377 pages.—Lawrence Journal. A fresh and glowing picture of life in Ken tucky, imbued with a feeling very winning to the reader.—Winchester Virginian. We like the preface and the hook. The au thor's name is new to us, but she is evidently a writer of promise. Tho storY is attractive, the style easy, graphic and graceful. There is much beauty of sentiment and expression, and that mingling of humor and pathos, like bright rainbow hues painted on tears, whichl is a char acteristic with many of the masters of light lit erature.—Fredericksburg News.
