Wo ax HE two following tales are chiefly intended for
ae Dboys, and the object of the lamented author
=a . (whose name alone is a recommendation) ap-

 

SD pears to have been to represent true religion,
\ | as displayed during the trials and temptations
of school-life, in an attractive and manly form.

In both tales, the teachers are men of the mght
stamp; but the boys, as must ever be the case, are of
varied characters. The scene of the longest story is
the United States of America, where so many German
emigrants now find a home. |

If any young readers are led, from the perusal, to
seek a deeper experience of the power of truth and
love, as exemplified by the conduct of Maurice Gray
and Carl Adler, they will have good cause for grati-
tude to the author of this little volume.
