W1TII BRVUTIKOL ILLUSTRATIONS, AND KI.EGAXTLY B0UNI'
A new epic, from a vigorous and skillful pen, on a subject which occupies a large nlaeo h the
social drseasstons of the day. The subject Is taken from Mr. Whlttler short narrative of "Da
vfcl MetMm."wtth which the reader Is probably familiar. TsrVM Xataoa, a Metitiisas aarlei
was captured by the Algerine. (during one of bis voyages) and sold into slavery. Alter many
yean he obtained release and was on his way U
his old employer, who Informed htm that his wife, believing bim dead, bad remarries, and,
stunned by his trouble, he surrendered all claim as husband and father to the man who had
stepped Into his place, and departed. Mrs. Dnniway has found a theme In this story with
which her heart beau In warmest sympathy, aad her lines How ou in the smooth oadeaee In
illeativa or the mllest accord. She pictures the gentle, tender, trustful Anna and the wily, eov
etom Pelallah In vivid colors; and bow years of poverty anil loosing, and th cries of the ban
gry boys, com pel led poor Anna to yield to Pelatiab's Importunity,
"Klse, rejoice.
My poor, vamated dove," said he,
" And look, henceforth for love to at,"
A little farther on he says:
" Become my wife and yon shall be
Made happy through prosperity , (
Whir, If she persists In declining his ad vaneea, wolMIke, he threat bus tn aba art a a herje star
vation and color And this Pelatiah was a deaeon, . ,.
in eahostatlons deep and loud."
The wandering of DavM. hb captivity, release, hapless Interview with Pelatiah, dines eer-o
Anna's seeoml wifehood, and his md going back to Algeria, are all told so lattfi utlmtly tat oar
leetings at e deeply enlisted. No one, with any true sentiment, eaa read the poem wit boat be
ins thoroughly stirred. Tbe Illustrations are in admirable keeping with the pnssajmi thay are
designed to portray, and a fine engraving of the author Is a nulng frontispiece. The sabjeet
spirit. Are and passion of I he poem should give It an extensive reading, aside Irom the tatersst
which the literary reputation of the author must awaken In Ik As a specimen of koofc-asakliif
the volume is certainly beautiful, and would adorn any center-table.
We know ot no work so well adapted as a present. It is printed on heavy tinted paper
