THE HOME AND THE PRIEST.

By GIROLAMO VOLPE,

Author of "Memoirs of an Ex-Capuchin; or Scenes in Monastic Life in Italy."

:

The late Leigh Hunt's opinion of the work "I think the work interesting; its exhibitions, in particular of some of the pas sions, masterly; and I am also of opinion that all which is related of Italian manners and customs, and of the vices and machinations of the priesthood, would be extremely welcome to my countrymen in general."

"Fiction, Fielding proves, is finer than history, and the reason is obvious the writer of fiction, while he can be perfectly true to the nature of the facts which he relates, can also do that which the historian cannot do he can tell the whole by help of abstraction. Michelet could tell much in his book, the "Priest and the Family;" but limited to the record of fact, he could not let you into the scene itself aud show you the priest corrugated and corrupting. This has been done by Signor Girolamo Volpe in "The Home and the Priest," a novel of contemporary history, which, in the development of a story of real life, shows the working of those very causes which have led to the revolt of the Italians against the oppression alike of the Priest and the stranger, The larger portion of the book has been revised by Leigh Hunt, who was revising while he read; and who read, as he many times declared, with a constantly increasing interest, both in the story, and in the opportune illustration of the present Italian movement."-Spectator.

THE GREAT EXPERIMENT.

CHAPTER I.

Ah, take the imperfect gift I bring,
Knowing the primrose yet is dear,
The primrose of the later year,
As not unlike to that of Spring."

IN MEMORIAM.

MARY'S matrimonial concerns were forcibly recalled to her aunt's mind, sometime after, on hearing that Arthur Maynard had arrived in England. She knew that his family had lately renewed the friendly relations existing before the young lady's rejection of his hand; and wondered whether the two would be thrown together again, and with what result. Of the state of Captain Maynard's affections she could be no judge; but Miss Wentworth, she was sure, had formed no new attachment, and still cherished his memory, though she avoided all reference to the subject.
