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.

gross negligence of its inhabitants, is beyond
calculation, especially when the remedy is so
easy to Obtain—this is found in Armitage's
