To the
FIRESIDES OF THE WESTERN WORLD,
With the fond Hope
THAT ITS PAGES MAY SERVE TO ENLIVEN OR ENTERTAIN SOME FEW
OF THOSE EVENING HOURS WHEN PLEASANT FACES GATHER
ROUND WARM, GLOWING HEARTH-STONES,
This simple Volume
IS UNOBTRUSIVELY PRESENTED,
BY THE
UNKNOWN AND NAMELESS AUTHOR,
WHO WOULD RATHER FIND WARM HEARTS AMONG HER READERS
THAN WIN THE LAURELS OF A TRANSITORY FAME.
