passage, as well as deep insight.... The
tone of the story, the curious sense of peace and kindliness which
it produces, comes out well in that extract, and the reader quits
it, feeling as he would have felt had he been gazing half an hour on
that scene--with more confidence alike in nature and humanity, less
care for the noisy rush of city life, and yet withal less fear of
it."--_Spectator._

"It is a pleasant book and will make for the producer
friends."--_Saturday Review._

"We venture to say no one who begins the book will leave it
unfinished, or will deny that great additions have been made to his
circle of acquaintance. He has been introduced to a New England
village, and made acquainted with most of the leading villagers in a
way which leaves the impression on him thenceforward that he knows
them personally, that their fortunes and failures, and achievements,
and misunderstandings are matters of interest to him, that he would
like to know how Gershom Vose got on with his farm, and if Joanna
Gair's marriage turned out happily, and if 'Say' Gair was as
interesting as a farmer's wife as she has been as a little child."

MARGARET AND HER BRIDESMAIDS.

By the Author of "The Queen of the County."

_1 vol., 12mo. Elegant fancy cloth. Price $1.50._

This fascinating story of "Six School Girls" is as charming a story as
has been written for young ladies. The talented author has a great
reputation in England, and all her books are widely circulated and read.
"Faith Gartney's Girlhood" and "Margaret and her Bridesmaids" should
stand side by side in every young lady's book-case. Read what the
_London Athenaeum_, the highest literary authority, says of it: "We may
save ourselves the trouble of giving any lengthened review of this book,
for we recommend all who are in search of a fascinating novel to read it
for themselves. They will find it well worth their while. There is a
freshness and originality about it quite charming, and there is a
certain nobleness in the treatment, both of sentiment and incident,
which is not often found. We imagine that few can read it without
deriving some comfort or profit from the quiet good sense and
unobtrusive words of counsel with which it abounds."

The story is very interesting. It is the history of six school-fellows.
Margaret, the heroine, is, of course, a woman in the highest state of
perfection. Bu
