The composition of these poems betrays a
nature in which the elements Of fancy and cOntempla
ton are gracously blended but in which the supreme
place may be claimed for reflection They are OF sin
guary thoughtful cast, though never pretending 10 DO
didactic-soleInn musings the destiny of man and
the mystery Of hfe-at times almost "sickned over
with the excess of pensiye sentiment, which at last
yields to more vigorous and wholesome tone-and al
ways enlivened by charming grace Of expression and
sweet auence OF poetieal imagery. The little parable
called Sunlight and Starlight" may be given as spe
emen Of the suggestive Of the author in which
dim hints take the place of explicit utterance.
God sets some souls IN shade, alone;
They have no daylight of their own;
Only in lives OF happier ones
They see the slime OF distant suns.
God knows. Content thee with thy night,
Thy greater heaven hath grauder light.
To-day is close the hours are small;
Thou sitst aiar, and hast them ALL

authentic chapter in the daily life of many aspiring
happily rendered in the mystic entitled
TwoFoLD.
A double life is this OF ours;
twoiold form wherein we dwell:
And heaven itself is not SO strange,
Nor half so far as teachers tell
With weary feet we daily tread
Tue circle OF a self-same round
Yet the strong soul may not be held
prisoner IN the petty bound.
The body waIketh as in sleep,
shadow among things that seem;
While bed in leash, yet far away,
The spirit mOveth In dream.
A living dream OF good or i'll,
In caves OF gloom or fields OF light;
Where purpose doth itself fultlJ -
And longing love Is instant sight.
Where time, space nor blood, nor BOND 4,
May love aud life divide ia twain;

And LET thy will on earth be done,

What is u but all prayers in one,
That soul and sense be reeonciedi
That inner sight and outer seem
No more in thwartDg conflict strive:
But dong blossom from the dream,
And the whole nature rise, alive
There's beauty waiting TO be born,
And harmony that makes no sound;
And bear We ever, unaware,
glory that hath not been crowned.
And 20 we yearn, and so we dgh,

First Lessons in orr COaaty's History by
WILLIAM swNToN. A. NJ. QvisOn & Coz, is not COM
paon from the writings Of any previous author ON the
subject of American history but bears strong impress
Of originality both in its plan and execution. 1t is In
tended for the Of schools IN this country
with the distinct aim Of furnishing the pupil with GER
tain Of actual knowledge rather than Of convey
Ing to his mind series CT vague and indefinite impress
sons. Tho work is, accordingly, limited to the promi
nent facts in the history of the United States in the
lection Of which the judgment OF the writer has been
called into service rather than his imagination Hence
the narrative presents compact and lucid view of the
progress of events, without the ncumbrance Of super
1uous details. The STYLE however, has not been neg
lected, and the subject is made attractive as the
nature Of the case perhaps permits, by the sim
neity and common sense Of the presentation. 1t would
not be easy to find moro comprehensive, or, the
whole more agreeable manual Of primary lessons for
the study Of our history and the interest OF the
tive increased by the uncommon excellence OF the
Illustrations.
