Who can read of the beginning of that sweet life, named Mara, which came into this world under the very shadow of the Death angel's wings, without having an intense desire to know how the premature bud blossomed? Again and again one lingers over the descriptions of the character of that baby boy Moses, who came through the tempest, amid the angry billows, pillowed on his dead mother's breast. There is no more faithful portrayal of New England life than that which Mrs. Stowe gives in "The Pearl of Orr's Island." * * * * * For sale by all booksellers, or sent postpaid on receipt of price by the publishers, A.
