For they have nothing else to do." DAVID AND ANNA MATSON. By Mrs. jViItrtiil Scott Duuiwny, Editor "New Northwest," Portland, Oregon, WITH BBAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS, AND ELEGANTLY BOONP A new epc, from a vigorous and skillful pen, on a subject which occupies a lanre place liwhe social dlseusilonsof the day. The subject Is taken I mm Mr. WbtttterM short narrative of "D vld Matson," with which the reader Js probably familiar. David Matson, a XerrimacKallor was captured by the AlKertnes (UurlBj one ofhls voyaM) and sold Into alarery. Attar man j years he obtained release and wax rm his way to the home of his boyhood, when he fell In with his old employer, who Informed him that bta wife, beliertnc him dead, had remarried, and, stunned by hi trouble, tie surrendered all claim as hatband and father to the nuut who had' stepped Into hi place, and departed. Mr. Denlway ha loom! a theme in this story with which her heart beats In warmest sympathy, and her lines flow on In the smooth radon ou in dlcatlvo of tlie fullest accord. She picture the gentle, tender, trustful Anna and Ibe wily, coy etous I'elatiau In vivid colors; and how years of poverty and tonelng, and the cries of the bun cry boys, compelled poor Anna to yield to Pelatiah's Importunity, "Rise, rejoice, My poor, tin mated dove," said he, " And look henceforth for love to me." A little further' on he says: " Become ray wife and yoa shall he Made happy through prosperity," While, lr she persists In declining bis advances, wolf-like, be threaten to aba mi h a hart star vation and cold. And this FelaUah was a "deacon," " In exhortations deep and load." The wanderings of David, his captivity, release, hapless interview with Pelaaah. iMsaawarr- oi Anna's second wifehood, and his sad going back to Algeria, are all told so patbetteBlly that oar leellugs ale deeply enlisted. Xo one, with any true sentiment, can read the poem wHbeat be ing thoroughly stirred. The Illustrations are in admirable keeptnr with the mirina tbev are designed to portray, and a tine engraving of tbe spun, ure aou passion oi tne poem snouiu give it an extensive reading, aside from the lateral which the literary reputation or tbe author mutt awaken In IU As a specimen of book-making the volume Is certainly beautiful, and would adorn any center-table.
