THE VoIcE OF PRAYER.-This is new
poem by Warren Sumner Barlow, author
of 1.-THE Voices" and published by Carle-
ton of New York 1t is beautifully exc
cuted, put up on fine tinted paper in
pamphlet form, and has enough of inter.
est in it to hold the reader unto the close.
This author is winning an enviable repu-

pronounced opinions" and his verse is
said to be characterized by vigor and
rings with genuine poetic harmony"
The GALAXY for February has a por.
trait of Mrs. Edwards, the popular maya

Weed, upon national matters, will inter.
est many, as will Mr. Crapsey's article on
Detectives. Mark Twain's Memoranda
are varied and of course quite amusing;
the Scientific Miscellany, a new depart
ment, is well filled, containing a score of
items; and the number as whole, is
fresh, bright and entertaining.
