T. S. Arthur has endeavored to give the practical lessons of life and through the characters the readers will definitely be able to draw their own surmises and conclusions. We cannot, however, we confess, in justice, acquit the heroine of this tale of almost unpardonable weakness, if not of double-dealing, at least with herself, and therefore do not feel that sympathy for her sufferings, or that respect for her character, which the author appears to have been desirous of exciting. We know little, perhaps nothing, of the new doctrine of spiritual affinities, the influences of which we neither deny nor affirm. But we conceive that we do know something of the evil consequences, in after years, of the ungoverned impulses and mistaken ideas of early life. Taken in this sense, the trials and sufferings of Jesse Loring, and her adherence to the Christian views of the marriage contract will definitely leave the lasting impact on the minds of the people who want to learn from her experience.
