ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL. Part 111.
Were it only for its poetical contents this third
part of Eliza Cook's Journal is deserving Of
general perusal. The popular poetess has here
exce,led herself. She, in this part, presents her
young readers with a delightful nursery ballad,
" The Mouse and the Cake ; she strongly enforces
the gentle lesson of " Live and let Live ;" she sings to
us of the dear associations which cling around " House'
hold W alls" in a style which calls' to mind our old ft"
vourite the " Arm- chair," the Farm -gate," and others
of her earlier songs, but excellent though these con'
tributions be in their several ways, the gem of this
part is the " Temperance Song." As regards the
moral which it enforces, the manner in which the
sulject is treated, and the style of the poem alto..
gether, we consider this " Temperance Song " one of
the master-pieces of Eliza Cook, and a most invalu-
able contribution to popular literature. It should be
learned by heart in many a household, high or
humble, and muttered as a spell against the delusive
seductions of " the Bottle." Be it, however, ob'
served, this song is a temperance, but not a teetotallers •
advocate. The lesson it teaches is epitomised in tvvo
golden lines—

" Take enough, it is a blessing;
Take too much, it proves a curse."
The following stanza is, unhappily, as truthful in
matter as it is exquisite and effective in manner :--
" Who shall reckon all the anguish,
Who shall dream of all the sin,
Wbo shall tell the souls that languish
At the spectre shrine of Gin?"
Here again the temperate lesson---the happy medium
course, is beautifully enforced--
"God sent all things for our pleasure,
Food for man and tood fur beast.
Say, which takes the surfeit measure,
At the board of Nature's feast?
" God sent all things for our using,
Meat, and malt, and oil, and wine.
Wee attends our rash abusing
Heaven's merciful design.
"Prize the boon we are possessing,
But mark well the holy verse:
Take enough, it is a blessing;—
Take too much, it proves a curse."

We commend this song to all who have not flit
perused it, and those who have will do well to ponder
on it again, especially calling to mind the significant
sarcasm of the concluding verse :
"But let none cry out for freedom
With a loud and fevered breath,
hile they let a full cup lead 'em
TV the slavery of death."
While this journal thus ably enforces such excel'
lent lessons, its great popularity will be a matter 01,
general satisfaction. That popularity has, we believe,
more than realised our anticipations, the very
first number having exceeded 70,000 in circulation,
and every succeeding number has exhibited improved
attractions. From the first we cordially welcomed
Eiiza Cook's appearance as a popular journalist, be-
cause the spirit which more or less pervades all her
writings assured us we should find in a work pub-
lished under her auspices something more than matter
of amusement. Matter of amusement there is, 25 the
sketches and tales in this one part abundantly test*
but beyond this, the contents of Eliza cook's Journal
are characterised by so much charity of sentiment
and independence of tone, that a thoughtful perusal
of its pages is well calculated to promote individn°
improvement and social harmony.
