CREATED BY AN INSPIRATION OF GENIUS. -N. Y. Mirror. The Old Homestead. BY MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS, [Extract from a lengthy review in the Evening Mirror.] Little Mary Fuller has all the individuality of Dickens' Little Nell, while her strangely spiritual and beneficent nature is ripened and developed into that perfection of feminine loveliness that compels a sort of spontaneous worship from all true hearts. The reader little knows when this poor, forsaken, half-frozen, half-starved orphan is introduced to him in the commencement of the story, how he will grow in love with her as the tragedy progresses; how absolutely and how vividly her sorrows will become his own, and how her ever-expanding goodness of heart and purity of life will win him into sympathy with everything good and beautiful. Dear little Mary Fuller-the delicate offspring of a woman's heart and a poet's brain, her sufferings will moisten many eyes; while her patience and her faith, her truthfulness and her tenderness will be a lesson of consolation not easily forgotten.
