White. Stokes & Allen. This is a romance in the truest sense c ot tne woru. as tno writer nas inuuijfcu hU imagination almost without re straint. It is a weird tale, founded upon happenings in these prosai days of fact!", and yet the'author does not hesitate tc blend in wiih bis narra tive of events the magic of the Arabian Night. His extremes meet with a vengeance when a Briiishwar stramer is made to anchor within a cable's length of a cave wherein lies the fablod Foun tain of Youth, in which the heroine has actually bathed and be n gifted thereby with lost youth and beauty. It may be that an allegory is io tended, but if so we fail to sec it. Still, there are eyi dences ot great po m er repressed power j it may bo said in the author and the interest ol the reader is readily enlisted and he! throughout the work. MONDAY. MAY 5, 1884.
