Excerpt from Dolores: A Tale of Maine and Italy The sounds of a barrelorgan vibrate through the evening air. ´´Home, sweet home´´ floats sweetly on the waves of the breeze that fans the face of the pleasant valley. The music is in keeping with the charming landscape which stretches from the rock-bound but picturesque and romantic coast of Maine, but the musician is ¬ and the glance we cast on him jars unpleasantly with the feeling of contentment that has imperceptibly stolen over us. The man is evidently a foreigner, a native of the sunny land that boasts of Rome and Naples, and his pale careworn face shows plainly that he is deeply sensitive to the tune he plays. Home! sweet home! Alas! no people in the world are so devotedly attached to their native country as the Italians. Even the most prosperous of that race never overcome a yearning for ´´beautiful Italy,´´ and yet our minstrel does not belong to Fortune´s favorites. He surely misses his native country; for his hollow eye mirrors a melancholy sadness, a pain intense to distraction. The fickle, changing clime of the New World does not agree with his constitution, and even a careless observer can hardly fail to discover that consumption, the arch destroyer of America´s youth and strength, has made fearful havoc upon the musicians form, once so noble and vigorous. His cheeks are hollow though covered with a treacherous bloom; his body has become emaciated to the thinness of a skeleton, and only his eyes have retained their lustre.

Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Dolores: A Tale of Maine and Italy The child is poorly clad as is the man, and the tattered dress of faded silk half covers, half reveals a body of perfect proportions, but yet too angular for our ideas of beauty. The frock only reaches to the knee, leaving the limb beneath it and the foot ex posed. The child presses her father's hand with earnest devotion to her cheek and the sad and tender glance with which she scans his face betrays a depth of feeling and an understanding beyond her years. Does she fully comprehend the precarious condition of her father's health? The delicacy of the tie that unites them and may be ruptured by the first rough contact with the world We do not know, but we know that the group before us, if not of ideal beauty, is such as the sculptor or painter likes to choose when he intends to remind us of the frail mortality of our race.
