 Tho Rev, Ralph U0yt,

Among those American writers that are gaining lasting reputation, the Rev. Ralph Hoyt fls con spicuons place. But few years have passed since he first appeared as poet, and yet he is already widely knowb and admired. In the eighth edition of Griswold's "Pon,s cf America" published this year. he holds an honorable position, and we do not hesitate 10 say that his pieces are among the best in the volume. Mr. Hoyt was born. as Mir. Griswold informs us n the city of New Ysrlr, about the year lsl0, and after speneing several years as
 teacher and writer for the Gazettes. he finally stu died theology, and took orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church. He is chiefly known by his 'sChaunt of Life. and other Poems," published in ls4l, and by the second part of inc "Chaunt of Life," which appeared in 1915, The pieces enti- tied "Snow' and s'The World for Sale, in the first volume. attracted much attention, and he afterwards pursued the same vein in '.New" and "Od" His poems natural, vigorous, and carefully finished Unlike much of our modern poetry, which is read and forgotten, they cling strongly 10 the memory, consider this clear proof oftheir excellence. Full of religious feeling and pure morality. they calculated 10 satisfy the taste and improve the hearts of all who listen to their simple and beautiful teach
 nss. We learn from a very favorable noice of his works, which lately appeared in the N. YoIk Eve ming Post that Mir. Hoyt is at present Rector of the "Churcli of the Good Shepherd'' in that city.
