Where the Brook and the River Meet. By Nellie Hellis.

(Wells Gardner, Darton, and Co.)—This tale offers that mixture of love- making and religion which is so popular with a large class of readers. "How about love-making?" said an author well known to the writer of this notice, when he was discussing with the editor of a religious magazine the management of a story Which he was about to contribute.—" As much as you can bring in," was the answer. We are introduced to Miss Marjorie Doyne when she is engaged to Mr. Frank Ferguson, and we leave her married to the Rev. Mr. Huldane. The transference of the young lady's affections, for which there are of course excellent reasons, is the main subject of this story. There are other interests introduced, but this is predominant.
