A VAIL.
Itmay be none ofour business-the bust

pie that it concerns mankind, to whom
We are sort o related through Adam and
Eve.
By this time you want to know what L
am driving at, andif you will hold your
breath a bit til l can catch mine, you
shall find out.
You should know that Itook up my

" Literary Notices"
Not to degrade the LEADER too near
the literary level of this August Atlantic,
I will reprint only a Il stanza " or two of
the " Farm poem, and remit those who
like the sample to the full text in Its orig

"Within a green and pleasant land

finer lines for the arrest of the hasty

Think of a poet who owns "a favorite
plantation" on which "some" genial sun
or other, of the multitudes that adorn his
private sky, has q wooed forth a flower
or two; think, if, your soul can face the
sublime ideal, of grapes that mature
their proper juices" but remember they
are ing grapes only; think of the poetic
owner of "a favorite plantation " nursed
by multitudes of private suns, with a
shining flower or two spangling "meads "
of ma ol0n creation, and enriched with
grapes" that mature their proper
juices think, l say of the poetic wner
of such an estate who can proudly assert

But for the Book Notices. pleasantly

a bewildered critic might first enquire
why the editors, if nothing fit to print
could be bought i'll the market, did not
fall to and fill up their own pages but
when he has explored the editorial " IA
