LITERATURE.

POETRY, TRAVEL AND GUIDES TO BEAUTY
Mr. Algernon sydney Logan. whose poem, entitled
"Ths Mirror OF Mind, /" received such remarkably
warm reception from tho critics OF the press couple
OF years ago. has Just published volume through
J. B. Lppincott Co. In Mr.. Logan's second VOL
ume, "Ths Image Of Air" We find much more TO ad-
miro than in his Arst. There is healthier tone and
. greater facility OF expression. Tho book takes lie
tito from its longest poem, which, by tho way, We
do not consider Its best While there Is yet decided
vein Of melancholy running through Mr.. Logan's
verse, there Is still feeling OF hopefulness In IT
that was not to BIO found In sThe Mirror OF Mind"
Here Is short poem, ITO the Wind" which 10 very
clever in concsit ami happy in cxpression:-
Eternal minstroil who through every land
Harpcst wild melodies from door 10 door,
Thy lays meath PALACE caves are not moro grant
Than IN tho smoky chimnoys OF the poor.
saddest Of harpersi oflhy songs can none
Back TO The lip vanished smile recall?
No. there is not OF all thy dittes one
But wakes sigh, or bids tear TO fall.
Thou sins'st ofhomo to those that houseless rove.
Past friends to those mankind despise and scorn.
Thy songs tell trembling age II once could love,
And bid unwilling youth feel It shall mourn;
Thou s,ngst OF weed grown graves with messy stones
But thou dost not neglect them, and thy tones \
With kindred music wake the sleeping mind;
Thou singst OF graves which thou shalt see.
OF endless change which leaves thee still the same,
VI MI We are not, ana YET wlsneu 10 DC
In brighter hours ere hearts and hopes grew tame.
Pilgrim impalpablei thy v,ewlcss feet
Through agos Sill must roam from elmo to CLINE,
But even thee at last bourne snail greet
Thy head shall rest upon the tomb Of Time.
There is u straightforward simplicity about Mr..
Logsn's verso that we admire. He TO nave
something to say and no says and then his Language
Is good, his words plain honest English words and
wc like them. The sonnet to "The Dead the Sea"
contains much that is original:-
Mourn not, 20 children OF the sea, 20 deadi
That no stone IDLY crumbIes DER your head
The mounds that neave above your ashes arc
As green as those DER churcbyard sepulchre,
Y OF who mark their place? Is not each wave
An evergreen, ia- rolling, restless grave2
Yo are not tho car bound dead, all still
And spsecnless; for hear, with a wild thrill
Your laughter minge on the seeth and roar,
AS tall tho breakers on the midnight shore;
And the foam CLEANS glistcning through the night
Your hands are stretched toward mo ghasty white
Ana cutching as to draw me to the sea-
What, would 70 swell your vast iraternityP
We arc led by this little volume to expect even
better work from Mr. Logan, who has shown that hs
is not above studying to improve.
