"T HE REDEMPTION OF DAVID CORSON . "—By C . F . Goss . Messrs . Methuen and Co . Price 6 s . —This is a beautiful story , and skilfully told . The plot i > a novel and attractive one , but the appeal to the purest emotions of the reader ' s heart and soul keep him enthralled in a higher p lane than that domimted by mere phantasy . David Corson is a young Quaker , workintr on an Ohio firm , with the soul of a mystic and the silver tongue of a chrysostum . To his village came a blustering quack doctor and his young wife , whom he had purchased as a child from a band of Spanish gypsies , who had stolen her in infancy . The quack charmerby Divid ' s eloquence , invites hif to assist
, by his eloquence in the sale of his patent medicines . This offer is at first rejscted with scorn , but David is attracted by love of the young wife , whom he imagines to be her husband ' s daughter . In one of those soul-struggles , to which the religious mystic is peculiarly susceptible , David casts his Bible from him , but tbe action results in the conversion of a lumberman , who picks it up . Then—discovering that he himself is the child of an illicit love—Divid flings all scruples to ( he winds and throws in his lot with the quack doctor , discovering when too late that Pepeeta is not his daughter but his wife . She returns his
love , but her gypsy instinct ? guard her chastily till David bribes the degraded justice , who married them , to persuade the wife she had never been really married . She then flies with David , is pursued by the quick doctor whom David worsts in a struggle and leaves for dead . Remorse preys upon tbe mind ot tbe ex-Ouaker , and at length he confesses his guilt to Pepeeta , who lejves him and is sheltered by Divid ' s Quaker relatives . Finally , Divid repents and atones for his sin as far as is in his power and is guided back to the Divine light from which he had strayed by the hand of the lumberman who had learned the truth from Divid's relinquished Bible . In ths end the legal marriage of David and Pepeeta brings a powerful story to a hippy conclusion .
