ANOTHER CHARMING NOVEL will commence on Saturday next, in THE BUDGET— HOUSE "SECBETS, BY MRS. HARRIET LEWIS, Author of "Beryl's Husband," "Jasper Lowder," "The Haunted Husband," " Amber the Adopted," &c. "The House of Secrets," written by Mrs. Harriet Lewis some years ago, and never before published, is considered to be one of her beßt stories, as it was written when she was young, and all her ideas were original and fresh. There is one particular charm about Mrs. Harriet Lewis's stories— the Christianising influence which is perceptible in every chapter. Without the use of hypocritical cant, the author depicts in simple yet impressive terms the remorse and punishment which are certain te attend an evil life. Virtue and vice are painted in vivid hues, and are so well contrasted that the folly and uselessneßS of sin become strikingly manifest. Reflecting readers arise refreshed from Mrs. Lewis's stories, better men and women, because they unconsciously realise that the " still small voice" is whispering to them, giving them courage to endure their trials, and making them appreciate the fortitude of religion. 11 THE HOUSE OF SECRETS" will commence in The Budget on Saturday next. *
