Literary Notices.
We give to our readers to-day poem COM
posed by "JEssIE," which we take from the
Waukegan Gazette The measure is eight by
six, and the verse iambic. j. s
The third line of the first verse is defective
two feet, and as we are assured by the fore
man of the Gazette Office that it was printed
as it was in the manuscript, we conclude that
Jessie must have left out two feet in trans
cribing it for the Gazette WeflI the meas
ure by introducing the words, deep AID, and
include them in brackets. so
In the fourth line Of the third verse the
word themust be accented or spoil the verse,
and it is so dificult,to accent 1t that we should
prefer either a, that or yon, and we print yon
included within brackets, indicating our pref
erence for it. And we should prefer the word
near, to the word close, in the same line. =
In the third line of the eighth verse the
word erit is used. The verse requires the &C
cent to be on the second syllable, whereas the
first is the accented syllable. The word de-
scent expresses the meaning of the poet(ess)
just as we'll as era, and the accent is on the
second and right syllable. We print it with
in brackets to indicate our preference for it,
Jessie composed a good poem, but she
could have improved it, and would, if her at
tention had been called to its defects. We
publish the poem md suggest Improvements
to encourage our home poets. And we would
ask in this connection: Where are our Keno
sha poets And why are their harpsS hung
upon the willows S4E s@

GoDEY's LADY's BOOK, for August is re-
ceived. The engraving, Feeding Horses" is
a beautiful picture and is worth more than

superior to any of the fashion plates. And
the fashion plates are an improvement over
those of the previous month -A5larger part Of
a lady's foot Is to be seen in front view fg-
ure, and in back view figure, unless we are
mistaken, an entire foot, encased in a shoe,

The reading, both prose and poetry, is of a
high order, for lift was not. how could it find
place in Cooley?
