Setma the Turkish Girl, and Woodroof the Swedish Boy, are

two " true tales," written in a religious strain of sentiment, and translated from the German of the Reverend C. G. BARTH, The adventures themselves are interesting ; and the simplicity of the relations, and their autobiographical form, give them a charm of reality which is highly useful in enforcing the religious precepts.
