The Eleventh Commandment. By Anton
Giulo Barrili From the italian, translated oy
Clara Bell New York: VIM. S. Gottsberger;
Portland Loring, Short & Harmony. This
singular. impossible, and not wholly pleasing
story has, however, the charm of genuine
Italian humor, delicacy of treatment, and hon-
esty of purpose. The eleventh commandment,
readers may be pleased to learn, is to the effect
that no man has the right to shut himself away
from the common cares and events of the
world, to live to himself and say
SIN the land of dreams have chosen my part
To sleep for season, and hear no word.''

The Creation and Scripture. By Gilbert G.
Mcneil, M. d. New York: G. F. Putnam's
Sons; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony
This is an interesting volume, published since
the authors death, of various reflections and
speculations concerning the dealings of Provi-
dence with the world. A chapter which the
writer's medical experience emphasizes is that
which sets forth the kindly warnings and i'm
mutable penalties of nature, and the causes
and progress of pestilence and of the less terri
BILE but equally sure influences of bad air and
water. The tone of the volume is one of be-
lief and honest investigation.

Poems By Mary E. Blake Boston: Hough-
ton, & Miffin; Portland; LoriDg, Short &
Harmony. The characteristics of Mrs. Blake's
verse are tender, natural and womanly feeling,
religious fervor, and pleasant metrical work.
Her poems vary in merit, here and there one,
The Artists Touch, There's Rosemary, Twi-
light, The Last Bulletin and others, has some
especial merit of fine sentiment, quick impulse,
or delicate music. Her poems are of the sort
to give much enjoyment and to find place
among favorite household volumes. Their lit
erary place is not of the highest, but they will
stand well among the average good verse OF the
day. A little technical suggestion here may
be made that double rhymes, often desirable,
are rarely made well by employing participates,
be singing, be ringing, etc. The device is too
easy, and dilutes the sense bJ the employment
of two words where one would do better.
This is hint not more needed by the writer OF
the poems under review, than by very many
others, but is here suggested and may be
noted.

Niagara and Other Poems. By George

Niagara and Other Poems. By George
Houghton. Boston: Houghton & Mif1in;
Portland Loring, Short & HARMONY. That
Mr.. Houghton's second volume Of verse is bet
ter than his first, emphasizes fact more than
suspected, that he is a poet. The force and
originality of his Imagination is shown in the
poem upon Niagara; an ambitious and hack
neyed subject, but treated by Mr.. Houghton
in sensitive and sincere manner, and 10
good hexameter as we'll. Dead CedaIs is an
admirable sketch, monochrome in one telling
stanza. The Mummy and the Rose runs ever
into somewhat strained and artificial feeling.
The Three Poplars is admirable in picturesque
quality. The Dream of the Stork is ingenious.
The group Of York Harbor poems contains
some fine lines, and Ketill the Sagaman is in
the vein of Mr.. Houghton's former work. He
is poet whose future will be watched With
hopeful interest.

The Defense of the Bride, and Other Poems
By Anna Katharine Green. (New York: g.
P. Putnam's Sons; Portland: Loring, Short q
Harmony. Miss Green is already well known
as the author OF some of the best sensational
stories which have been written, for instance
the Leavenworth Case, in which the mystery
and involved plot are fairly worthy of Wiikie
Collins, and the style is refined and unaffected
The vigor and Imagination of Miss Green's
prose might prepare the reader for similar quar-
tiles in her verse-and he will not be disap-
pointed. She has the gift, somewhat rare in
woman-writers of verse, of telling direct and
dramatic story, not delaying for oyer-subtle
analysis of emotions, but including them in
broad and competent stroke. To readers tired
of the over-subjective and symptomatic style
of poetry quite too prevalent now, this volume
will be very refreshing. Miss Green's hand
ling of metres is not ambitious, but excellent,
and the smoothness of her verse takes nothing
from its vigor.

While Chase was Governor Of Ohio,
the following anecdote is related Of him.
Soon after he assumed the guberna-
torial chair, he issued a proclamation
appointing Thanksgiving Day. To
make sure of being orthodox the Gov
ernor composed his proclaim ion almost
entirely of passages from the Bible,
which he did nos designate as quota
tions, presuming that every one would
recognize them and admire the fitness
Of the Words as we'll as his taste in
their selection. Tie proclamation
meeting the ego If Democratic editor,
ne pounced at once upon it and doclar-
ed that he had REID it Lefore-could
not exactly say whers-but he would
take his oath that it was downright
plagiarism from the beginning to the
end. That weuld have been pretty
fair joke; but the next day republican
g lit ca ne out valiantIy ia defense of
the Governor, pronounced, The charge
libelous, and challenged any man living
to produce one sihgle line of the proc.
lamasion that bad appeared IN ptins he

THE FARMERS soxG.

Let blockheads sing of regal state,
OF lords and ladies fair,
Who on some naughty monarch wait,
And homage to him swear.
Their pomp and pride we all de-
ride,
Well never bend the knee
We're farmers, and we're FREQ
'ris true We labor for our bread,
And so did Adam too;
A-little toll we'll never dread
While we'ra so we'll TO do:
Then raisethe song throughout the
throng,
We'l never bond the knee
To mortal kingor corporate thing,
We're farmers, and we're free.
Who lead our iarmors, on to reap
Their harvest of renown,
When Briton's Wax dogs crossed the
deep
To hunt our birthrights down?
A Farmef: yes, he taught mo this
TO never bend the knee
To mortal king, bat boldly sing
We're farmers, and ws're free:
Nten wiatry storms rage long and
loud,
The far mer, nj his fire,
While sons and daughters round him
crowd,
Feels joys that never tire.
With such a band join healt and
hand,
And never bend the Fnee
To any king or corporate thing,
We're farmers and wore free.
But there Is one to whom we'll bow
With alteration due;
lmay his blessings crows us now
And follow Us life throagh.
To Him we'll raisethe song OF praise,
To Him we'll bend the knee
lie is our k;ng-to Him we'll sing,
IT'S he n no made US free
