, but
he continued to sail with Leopold in the Rosabel.

The next winter after the stirring incidents at High Rock, Leopold went
to New York on a visit, and was heartily welcomed by the Hamiltons, who
treated him with as much consideration as though he had been a foreign
duke. Rosabel was delighted to see him, we need not add. The result of
this visit was, that the merchant invited Leopold to take a position in
his mercantile establishment, to which his father reluctantly consented.
Stumpy took his place as boatman for the Sea Cliff House.

Leopold gave his whole energy to business, and when he was only
twenty-two he was admitted as a partner to the firm. He was a
splendid-looking fellow and no one would have suspected, after noting
his elegant appearance, his fine manners, and his energetic business
habits that he was not an original New Yorker. Of course he made
frequent visits to the house of Mr. Hamilton, and was always a welcome
guest. His relations with Rosabel were of the most interesting
character; and now at twenty-six, he is a happy husband, educated and
wealthy, and, with his wife to nerve his soul, he stands braced against
the Coming Wave of Temptation and Sin, which is always rolling in upon
the pilgrim of earth.

Differing from other books of this popular author in that it Is intended
for adult readers, while the others are written for young people.

It contains about thirty bright and interesting stories of a domestic
order, directed against the follies and foibles of the age. They are
written in a kindly, genial style, and with a sincere purpose to promote
happiness, good feeling, and right dealing in domestic, business, and
social relations.

Many who have not time and patience to wade through a long story, will
find here many pithy and sprightly tales, each sharply hitting some
social absurdity or social vice. We recommend the book heartily after
having read the three chapters on "Taking a Newspaper." If all the rest
are as sensible and interesting as these, and doubtless they are, the
book is well worthy of patronage.--_Vermont Record._

As a writer of domestic stories, Mr. William T. Adams (Oliver Optic)
made his mark even before he became so immensely popular through his
splendid books for the young. I
