By Mrs. SUMNER HAYDEN,

Author of “Little Goldie,” etc.


In originality of conception, and artistic skill in the construction and development of plot, the story of “Vella Vernell” will compare favorably with the most meritorious works of fiction. The language is graceful and forcible; the style is earnest and captivating; the incidents are novel and dramatic—a series of animated pictures, so very life-like that the reader becomes impressed with their reality; the characters are capitally drawn, and speak and act like sentient beings; while the plot is fresh and ingenious, and evolved with the tact of a master-hand.
