Another New Story now Ready
IN THE New York Weekly,
(The best Story and Sketch Paper published)
ENTITLED,

The Defrauded Heiress;
OR, The Stepmother's Plot.

By JAMES REYNOLDS,

Author of "The Stolen Bride," "Long Hank," "Hermit of Ottawa," &c., &c. In "The Stolen Bride," and " Long Hank," and " Hermit of the Ottawa," Mr. Reynolds gave evidence of great vigor and power, and stamped himself as a romancer of no mean reputation; but in giving to the world "The Defrauded Heiress," he has placed himself in the front rank of the great writers of the day. It is a story of life in a great city, founded on fact, and in it are brought to view all the lights and shades of society. Most people have but an imperfect idea of the snares and pitfalls set to entrap the unwary, not only in low life among the hovels of the poor, but among the wealthy and powerful and apparently respectable.

The story in question chronicles the misfortunes of a young and beautiful girl, born and nurtured in the lap of luxury, who is the victim of the foul machinations of her own mother, who, in order to secure the property which the poor girl holds in her own right, does not scruple to connive at her irretrievable ruin. The manner in which the story is worked up proves conclusively that its author holds the key to the human heart, and that, having unlocked it, he can play upon it as upon an instrument. It has not a string which does not vibrate to his powerful touch. At one moment he fires us with indignation, as he relates some act of cold-blooded treachery and wrong, and at another our heart throbs wildly with the pleasurable excitement which the narration of heroic and generous acts is sure to call up. The poor, but noble and virtuous seamstress, the wealthy but conscientious woman of the world, the hard-fisted mechanic, the reckless roue, the desperate gambler, and the true gentleman, all pass in review before the reader, portrayed with a power that never fails to engross the whole attention. From the first chapter to the last he is spell-bound, and when he reaches the end he lays down the paper with a sigh of regret that the story has ended so soon.

We think we may safely say that

The Defrauded Heiress

is the most powerfully-written romance which has been placed before the public for many years.

Do not fail to read the opening chapters.

The NEW YORK WEEKLY is sold by all respectable News Agents in the United States. The price is FOUR CENTS, but in some cases, where Agents have to pay extra freight or postage, a higher price is necessarily charged. When there is a News Agent in the town, we desire our friends to get the WEEKLY through him. We do not wish to mail the paper except to places where there is no other means of getting it. When sent by mail, the price will invariably be $2 a year, in advance. Subscriptions taken for three months. Two copies will be sent for a year for $3; four copies for $6; eight copies for $12. Postmasters and others who get up clubs of ten, and send us $15 at one time, will be entitled to an extra copy for their trouble. The bills of all solvent banks taken at par for subscriptions. Canada subscribers must send twenty-six cents extra with every subscription, to pre-pay the American postage.
