Laura Erie. By the Author of "Blanche Seymour." 3 vols.
(Tinsley Brothers.)—We have read this novel without much difficulty, a fact which, however, becomes somewhat remarkable, when we try to re- member what it is all about, or to think what it has characteristic in it. Laura Erlo is the daughter of a poor parson, and her fortunes, chiefly as they turn on her exchange of an unworthy for a worthy lover, arc told in this story with some liveliness and skill. Laura Erie is a possible creature, not by any moans perfect, but sufficiently attractive, and the worthy lover is not too good, nor the unworthy one too bad, to be beyond the power of imagination. Perhaps the best and most natural character is Laura's brother, Tom, one of those numerous young men who think nothing too good for him, and are not good enough for anything.
