"There is a bird that has no mate,
But sings it's little songs alone,
And hutterB on unto a fate

Unworthy of his song"

That tell them wondrous things"

'Thou vert made for me to love Oh this life

When we may turn as pilgrims to some conse.

"When you meet q brow that's awning,
With its Rrinkled lines of gloom,
And a naughty step that's drawing
To o solitary tomb;
Guard thine action, some great SORROW
Makes the man a spectre grim,
And the sunset of to. morrow
May have left thee like him."

But knowing feers, and fearing loves the more"

Save him who dared to send that soul to God"

There is a grave, from other graves apart;
On Gods fair earth there is o blood red hand
Stained with the crimson of that high young

He was arrested by the police in New York some

He is sadly in decline lately-passt and on the

We have often been asked to mention some
hook of portable size, that gives an authentic
and comprehensive account of the authors and
literatures of all nations and tim~cs-something
that covers the whole ground, and gives some
account of each and the leading names in each
Just such a book did not exist till now. We
have lust that, very well done too, in the "Hand'
Book of Universal Literature" recently publish.

duodecimo of SGT pages. 1t comprises chapters
on the following observation-disclosures, Syriac,

To the whole there is a general index. The

In q design so comprehensive-there are ove1
600 authors meutioned-the special information
must of necessity be brief; yet we are satisfied
that Mrs. Bolts. has met the particular want
and filled the design better than any other author
has done. A residence of nearly twenty years
in the city of New York gives her an acquaint'
ance with American Literature enjoyed by few
of those who have written upon that branch of
her subject. The section on American Litera'
ture covers twenty FIVE pages; and is perhaps as
lust, all considered, as We could reasonably e1'
pect. The great fault that critics will be find
