Miles : a'.I own Story. By the Author of "Fan."

(Samuel Tinsley.) —This is a clover story, which others than "the young," for whose edification it is intended, may read with pleasure. The author does not quite avoid the pitfall of perfection for her unselfish Miles, and of utter selfishness for her selfish Fred, but she draws the characters and manages the incidents of a story which has a plain and avowed moral with a good deal more skill than we generally find in stories of the kind. The Workshop scenes arc really interesting, and convince the reader that they have been drawn from an intimate knowledge of the lives and the surroundings of working-men.
