Poems OF THE WAR: By George H. Boxer. Bos-
ton: Ticknor & Fields. 12mo, PIP. 202. For
sale by Hall L. Davis.
This is a series of patriotic and miscellaneous
poems, based upon the most important and
touching incidents of the war The poetry is
excellent, and there is a high and noble senti-
ment running through them, that gives them
extensive merit. They were written under the
inspiration of some important event while the
thoughts were active and the feelings deeply i'm
pressed with the occurrences. The following is
a sample of the productions of this gifted
poet:
Close his eyes; his work is done
What to him is friend or foeman,
Rise of moon or set of sun,
Hand If man or kiss of woman?
Lay him low, lay him low,
In the clover or the snow
VIVA, cares he he cannot know;
Lay him low -
