o see it all along!"

And so it comes to pass that by Barbara's grave we kiss again with
tears. And now we are happy--stilly, inly happy, though I, perhaps, am
never quite so boisterously gay as before the grave yawned for my
Barbara; and we walk along hand-in-hand down the slopes and up the hills
of life, with our eyes fixed, as far as the weakness of our human sight
will let us, on the one dread, yet good God, whom through the veil of
his great deeds we dimly discern. Only I wish that Roger were not
nine-and-twenty years older than I!

GOOD-BYE, SWEETHEART!

By RHODA BROUGHTON,

AUTHOR OF "RED AS A ROSE IS SHE," "COMETH UP AS A FLOWER," ETC.

"Good-bye, Sweetheart!" is certainly one of the brightest and most
entertaining novels that has appeared for many years. The heroine of the
story, Lenore, is really an original character, drawn only as a woman
could draw her, who had looked deeply into the mysterious recesses of
the feminine heart. She is a creation totally beyond the scope of a
man's pen, unless it were the pen of Shakespeare. Her beauty, her
wilfulness, her caprice, her love, and her sorrow, are depicted with
marvellous skill, and invested with an interest of which the reader
never becomes weary. Miss Broughton, in this work, has made an immense
advance on her other stories, clever as those are. Her sketches of
scenery and of interiors, though brief, are eminently graphic, and the
dialogue is always sparkling and witty. The incidents, though sometimes
startling and unexpected, are very natural, and the characters and
story, from the beginning to the end, strongly enchain the attention of
the reader. The work has been warmly commended by the press during its
publication, as a serial, in APPLETONS' JOURNAL, and, in its book-form,
bids fair to be decidedly THE novel of the season.

distinctive tone and fibre of a gift which was altogeth
