LOVE POEMS AND sONNETs. BY OWEN INNsLY.
lGMO, pp 1913. Boston: \. Williams Co.
There is that in Mr.. Owen Innsly's litte book
which disposes one to feel kindly toward him.
though not to augur highly Of his future 1t is no
Impractical hand which is playing upon the instru-
ment-far from it--but It'll hand which will never
have powerful touch, nor apparently, an original
one. Not that we can point out any direc imita-
tion of any single writer, but that all Mr. Innslys
verse has resulted from his reading the verse of
others: he has not written from his heart, but
from the stimulating influence of books He is not
in sympathy with the present school Of English
song which s so entanglod in harmonious dscords
and so confused with of color to be nOisy
bewildering; but rather with the elderly Words
WORTH who wrote so many hundreds of unimpas-
stoned sonnets, and with the maturing Matthew
Arnold, who about thirty .yeaIa ago was a poetical
pilgrim in Switzerland and who few years later
gathered a handful OF faded leaves for the hortuS
siccus of sentiment The melody and the Guictness
of such verses as 4" An Evening Ride" Cu Bono"
and Compensation remind one Of Arnolds trides.
"The Lake" The River" aud Longing" the
bulk of Mr.. IDnsly's sonnets remind ono Of the
least interesting Of Wordsworths later sonnets.
They possess the merit of being sonnets, however.
and not merely short poems Of fourteen lines each,
-quatorzains. which rhyme in every way but the
right way.
Mr.. Innsly is familiar with the laws which I'M
derlie the octave and the sextette, and unites
both in the happy marriage of sense and sound !;
nevertheless he is not successful sonneteer,
partly because his muse is generally out of breath
at the end of the octave. but more largely. we
suspect, because he lacks intellectual earnestness
and force. He may have persuaded himself that he
felt the emotion which he describes in his love
noetry (so-caled), but he was assuredly mistaken

Finger Rings.

The meaning attached to finger rings says
the American, has been as variable as their
shape. Charms and mystic powers have been
connected with them from the first, and there
exists still all over the world lingering super
stitions connected with them. The Russians
are peculiarly attached to turquoise, and
believd, family or resolutely, that they pre-
serve from bodily harm. Jasper set in rings
took the lead of all other precious stones
with the ancients for its supposed healing
power, and this power was thought to be
strengthened when combined with silver in
stead Of gold. Many Of the Gnostic or Basi-
lidian gems, evidently used for magical or
talismanic purposes, were of jasper. The
diamond was held in high esteem, because it
was thought to be endowed with divine vir-
tues. A species of ruby was supposed to
restrain fury and wrath. Tne jacinth or hya-
cinth was said to have faculty of procuring
sleep, when worn on the finger. Aristotle be-
lieved the amethyst capable of hindering the
ascension Of vapors, while Andreas Baccus
says that it sharpens the wit, ,diminishes sleeps,
and ressts poison. The emerald is credited
with being at enmity with all impurity,
stone that Nichols. in his '.Lapidary, pub
lished 1852 says lis of so excellent a virid-
lite or spring color as that, if a man shall look
upon an emerald by pleasant green meadow.
1t VIII be more amfaDle than the meadow, and
overcome the meadows glory Of that spring
Of viridite which it hath in itself" The
topaz is held as freeing men from pas
sions and sadness Of mind. The agate
is thought to be good against poisons.
The sapphire, according to st. Jerome. will
procure the wearer the fame Of princes and
others, pacify enemies, free from enchant-
ments, loose from prison and assuage the
wrath Of God. The opal is said to sharpen
the sight of its possessor, and cloud the eyes Of
those who stand about him; for this cause it
is reverenced as a safe patron of thieves;
Cornelian is thought to gift its wearer with a
cheerful heart; chalcedony procureth victory
for its possessor: while the wearing of coral
in ring has been thought sufficient to chin
der the delusions of the devil, and 10 secure
men from incubus and Succubus" In regard
to rings, there is . curious error common
among all peoples, that the wedding finger
was 50 chosen because of vein running
from the fourth finger of the left hand to the
heart Levinus Lemnius quantity says: "a
small branch Of the artery and not Of the
nerves, as Gallius thought. is stretched forth
from the heart unto this finger, the motion

compass it about with gold" II is said there
on, by Swinburn and others, that for this
reason the fourth-by some people called the
third-became the wedding finger. The
priesthood kept up the idea by still keeping
it as the wedding finger; but it was got at
through the use of the Trinity. For, in the
ancient ritual of English marriages, the ring
was placed by the husband on the top of the
thumb of the left hand, with the words, 'In
the name of the Father" it was then remov-
ed to the forefnger with the words. ''In the
name of the Som" then TO the middle finger
with the words. "ln the name of the Holy
Ghost. and, finally, it was left upon the
fourth finger with the closing word, amen"

Paste Diamonds.

When imitation diamonds were first intro.
duced it was found that TO cut glass precisely
like a diamond did not produce the sparkle
characteristic of the diamond; therefore to
secure this the Hat service on the top of the
diamond was made pyramidal on the imita-
ton, and of course ended in point. BY
certain laws of light this pyramdal surmount-
ing of the glass provided for the required
distribution of ray surface to produce the
diamond sparkle or something akin to il.
A real diamond is never cut with the pointed
apex, and hence il was possible always Ia
distinguish the real from the spurious. But
after time the buying public learned this
little circumstance about the cutting process.
and other means were resortcd to. The glass
was cut precisely like diamond and the
sparkle given to or provided for it by coat
ing of white foil applied to the lower side of
the glass. The setting of many diamonds is
arranged in such a wav that the buyer may
see the under side of the gem. This was
overcome by arranging the setting so as to
prevent inspection of this kind. which could
not be done unless the stone was dismounted.
if we may use that term. With these facts
known to the buyer of diamonds. he need
not be deceived except in the latter case,
where the setting hides the under surface,
and if he has any doubt about that he can let
it alone. But the object of imitation dia-
monds is not to deceive buyers if it was they

ever deficient in diamond criticism. need be
deceived in buying diamonds. No dealer of
any repute attempts to sell imitation for real
diamonds. No reputable man ever thought of
it. His reputation and occupation would
soon be gone.-I5oridence Journal

OUR PRESIDENT.
BY LUBA BELL.

"Our President is deadi'
r was thus the watchers said,
Gazing upon the sainted face that lay in peace.
Our President Is dead
The fatal, message spread,
The cry went forth In grief that will not cease.
Our President Ia dead
The solemn tidings sped
On lightning wings that spread In hasty flight
The bells rang forth their
All mournfully and slow;
The old flag bowed itself In grief that night.
Our President Is dead
The gifted one who led
All secis and parties TO a higher strife.
Who in the field or tent
His Christian manhood blent
In all his duties on the march OF life.
Our President IL dead
The sad sad words are said
slowly and solemnIy mid falling tears;
Well may the church bells toll
For one more true, grand soul,
Gone where the angels take no thought Of years.
Ring, bells and sadly toll,
Although your loudest roll
Shakes not the golden dust beneath his feet;
Ye cannot tell our grief,
Though tears may give relief
When we have heard your voice along the street.
Alasi the solemn bell
Can never fifty tell
The of him who killed our President
Tho he hath missed bis aim;
And heBceforth Garfield's name
Shall gain u .ustre with new meaning blent.
Men, women, children, weep,
For one who fell asleep,
SO nobly crowned q. life's best working timet
Weep for the nations lossi
Mourn for the heavy cross
Lain ON us in our country's fullest primei
But mourn not for him,
We dare not, from the dim
Expanses Of this world so far from light
We cannot call him back
Along the shining track
Whereon hstrod in armor new that night.
SOOthed by the Makers hand
In that immortal land,
He yet is ours although he went away
And sometime cen fears
May change to golden spheres
Wbereon Gods plans may brighten as the day.
