PREFACE.
In presenting this volume to the public, the author hopes to impart information to some; reflect their own character to others; possibly point a moral, and by the tale interest the reader.
The warp of the fabric is reality, the woof fiction, the coloring domestic.
Awaiting the verdict,
Respectfully,
THE AUTHOR.
