A SERIAL STORY, By the author of " Aldersyde," entitled TWICE TRIED. PUBLICATION COMMENCES OX SATURDAY, DECEMBER Ist, And an instalment will appear weekly. We have pleasure in announcing the approaching publication in our columns of a Story by ANNIE S SWAN, Author of "Aldersyde," "The Gates of Eden "Across Her Path," "Briar and Palm'," "Carlowrio," "Sundered Hearts," "A Divided House," &c. &o. THE ST9BV IS KNTITLED TWICE TRIED, AND IT WILL COMMENCE PUBLICATION ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER Ist. Axnib S. Swan (remarks the British Weekly) who lias suddenly sprung into a great position as a popular writer, was born in 18o!), and made her first appearance as an Author when seventeen years of age. In the Spring of ISB3, appeared her first success—" Aldersyde: A Border Story "—which obtained for the Author the following autograph letter from the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone :— "10, Dowxixfi-sriiEKT, April 10th, 1383. " Dkaii Madam,—l have now road the work which yon did me the honour to present to me with a very kind inscription, and I feel obliged to add a line to my formal acknowledgment already sent. I think it beautiful as a work of art, and it must be the fault of a reader if he does not profit by the perusal. "MissNesbit and 'Margit' will, I hope, long hold their places among the truly living sketches of Scottish character.—l am, your very faithful and obedient, W. K GLADSTONE." Since then, AxNiK S. Swan has written many Stones, all of which have had a wide sale in Great Britain and the Colonies, their pure wholesome tone and distinctly domestic character making them favourites among all classes. The People's Friend, reviewing one of this Authors English Stories, says:—" It is inspired with a high purpose and ideal, united to a sweet and simple style, and with the tenderness and love of a warm and sympathetic heart. Her stories have always been found to carry with them a stimulating and gracious influence, and it is a great pleasure to recommend any new tale she writes. OUR NEW STORY TWICE TRIED Is nn ingeniously contrived Love Story, told in a easy graphic style, with an air of great life likeness about the characters. The heroine, who is twice cruelly tried, is particularly well drawn, and will command universal sympathy. The Story has moreover two great essentials from a readers point r>f view—it is full of movement and dramatic force.
