Se/f-Dependence, by ELIZA PAGET, is a religious tale ; which

inculcates the evil effects of overweening self-confidence, and the advantage of relying on "strength from abcve." The characters and conduct of two serious young ladies, under various trials, are set forth very naturally, and worked up into a story of some in- terest for the amusement and edification of those from whom pro- fane fictions are interdicted.
