"The Adventures of an Evening" is a curious bit of fancy; although well told, somehow or other is unsatisfactory, perhaps because the reader does not know what the pretty young woman said in a low tone. "The Death and Spoiling of Tiresias" it is a story from Thebeau history; as a story it recommends itself to the reader, but the style is rather heavy. "The Siege of Xavier de Chateaufort...

Well, we may as well make up our minds to it, we shall always have something disagreeable mixed in with the agreeable...
...knows not the infinite pleasure of calling himself an ass." The East, on the whole, has too good an opinion of herself. Harvard, Yale and Princeton so frequently announce that they cannot be beat that many gradually believe them.
