Believe me- II all the hse speeches we hear
In the House made for Surturr each day,
Should be siled from droS and from Lumbug be clear,
The Stale would have lar less to pay!
They will STILL though be heard, al present they
Le, the taxpayers fre, hi they will
For the tongue Of faol which DO wisdom can bar,
Like the aspen-leaf neer can be still
Oh! j, is ne, mere versiage. in sonoTous tone,
Which wipe OF the comnoawealih's teh.
Or by which the friends Of reform can be known.
While il pays for the whistle 20 deaf
No; the tongue OF the gabber its suf ring forge'
Blu, will senseles, wag on 10 The close,
And the House know much from Otord, when be sets,
Quite much as they knew when he rose
The BosToN QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. Xviii April
1912 W. Haywood, 9e Division-strcrL
Mr.. Brownson appears to have discovered that
barren Loco Foco distribes however virulent,
neither please nor profit the greater number of
mis- readers. The number Of his Review before Us
is entirely free from such, but filled with powerful
ESSAYS on Christianity and Religion, Modern
French Literature, Sherwiu's Algebra, Mr.. Parker
and the Unitarans, vigorous essay on Social
Reform by A. Brisbane and some dozen search
ing Notices Of New Publications. This Quarterly
Is ably, powerfully written in spirit of manly
independence on all but party political topics,
(Which it does wei! to eschew,) and we presume
is winning upon public attention.

ed But Mr. Borrow has made this strange Pco-
pie his s,udy.-He has mingled with and learned
of ,hem al that could be known; and though he
does not dispel the mvstory which surrounds their
origin, he corrects many pspnlar errors with re-
gard to their character and habits, and has given
us :. work which will long be read with in<trlc-
ton and ight.
