The success Of Beautiful Snow and
Other POEMS by j. ". Watson, has IN
duced the same publishers to issue a second
volume by the same writer, entitled The
Outcast and Other POEMS" In all the es-
~gentials Of neatness, elegance, clear type,
tinted paper and handsome binding, il is
one of the daintiest volumes produced in
PHILADELPHIA for a long time. Mr.. Watson
writes verses OF the sort called occasional"
with a great deal Of facility. He rarely
ATTEMPTS ANYTHING in which humor is the
pervading element, but illustrates common
place subjects in a very earnestmanner, and
often is pathetic and tender. Above all,
and in this he differs from and has a de-
cided advantage over most modern Wrists,
he is thoroughly ineligible, for he does
not pretend to engraft metaphysics upon
his verse. The publishers, who are not
mistaken in thinking that these poems may
be considered as 1.-The fruit of Mr.. Watson's
maturer fancy and Judgment" and likely,
therefore. TO "touch not less sensitively than
the others the sympathy and home aztec
tons of all classes of readers - present in an
appendix an interesting letter from the au-
thor, detailing the circumstances, time and
place :ncIuded, under which "BeauJif1!
