Corona of the Nantahalas. By Louis Pendleton. (Sampson Low, Marston,

and Co.)—Corona is a maiden who grows up into singular beauty in a lonely spot of the North Carolina mountains. Her rearing, her life while she was still fancy-free, and her love- story, in its two phases of unhappiness and happiness, are told in

this " romance," as the author judiciously entitles it, in a very attractive way.
