PRIMROSE EDITION No. 5. tier Royal Lover, By ARY ECILAW, zs a story of thrilling interest. The scenes are very dramatically drawn, and the characters graphically portrayed. Her Royat Lover.—This is an admirable translation of a fascinating romance from the French, by Ary Ecmaw. It appeals especially to wives who aim to attract admiration, and to husbands who are so jealous that ‘“‘trifles light as air” often disturb the serenity of the household. It brings the heroine close to the verge of disaster; it is so artfully woven that the persistent secret wooer is on the eve of being rewarded for his duplicity ; and the maddened husband is about to be humiliated, when, lo! utterly unexpected events expose rascality and vindicate the imprudent but faithful wife. The story is vigorously and dramatically narrated, with many strong etre ens and never lags in action.— Chronicle.
