This book, we believe, has been one of the most successful publications of the year, and some of the author’s warm admirers see in him a second Dickens. The characters of Abimlech Jackwood, of Phoebe and of Grand- mother Rigglesty, are admirably drawn indeed. In depicting New England life the author (a Mr. Trowbridge, Paul Creyton being a nom de plume,) is perfectly at home, but when he unwisely strays out of his parish and ynder- takes to depict Southern life and manners, of which hegnows nothing, his failure is painful but inevitable. A Parromep Breata.—What lady or gen- tleman would remain under the curse of adis- agreeable breath when by using the “ Balm of a Thousand Flowers’? as adentrifice would not only render it sweet but leave the teeth white as alabaster? Many persons do not know their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate their friends will never mention it. Pour a single drop of the “ Balm’’ on your tooth brush and wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent bottle will last a year For sale at Shillington’, agent for Washing- ton, and all Druggists.
