points of interest to which a summer tourist
would naturally wish to go. II is evidently
written with a conscientious determination TO
speak fairly Of the hotels, and can, we think,
be relied upon in any Of the assertions which
it makes. 1t is filled with excellent maps of
the different States and routes, and seems to
us very useful companion. OF course it
does not come up to the ideal standard Of a
guide-book. 1t is not "Murray's." But for
all that it is extremely convenient to have it
at your side, and we recommend it to those
who mediate jaunt through the mountains
and lakes Of the Northern States.
ELLEN: POEM FOR THE TINES. New York:
G. W. Carleton. Philadelphia Agent: ID. ASH
mead.
If we desired to sum up all the merits of
"Ellen" in few words, we would state that it
contains exactly twelve hundred and ninety
six lines, consisting as it does of eighty-one
verses of sixteen lines each. 1t lays claim to
popularity on no other grounds. 1t is written
in an extremely vague style, many of its meta
phors and figures being so far drawn, or so
badly expressed, that we fail to see the signif-
canoe. Thus the opening lines-
"a sunny brook, on whose clean floor the
stones
Sparkle unstained, that suddenly beroul,
Deep at it's forest head, putrescent bones
Thrust there by murder done beneath nights
cowl
on trustful travellers, whose unpitied means,
Heard but in Heaven, were married to the
howl
dimmed,
It's glad pellucid pools with poison brimmed."
This sentence continues without full stop
for fifty-three lines, when the first period in
the poem appears. The whole production is
crude in the extreme, and, we regret to say,
does not display any indication that may lead
us to expect better things from the same pen
| in the future.
