MIAMI WOODS AND OTHER POEMS By WILL
IAN ID. GALLAGHER Cincinnati: Robert Clarke
& Co.
Many of the miscellaneous poems which form
the latter portion of this book have been before the
public. and will be readily recognized. The poem
which gives the title TO the work is I'm parts
and covers the progress and change that occurred
along the Miami River in those woods, whose
beauties have been sung by every Ohio poet from
1899 to 1856. There II n wealth Of beauty In the
rich descriptive writing and in every line is seen
an affection for the localities visited in childhood
and remembered in after years, US is every spot
where the passions and first breathings of com
mencing love find utterance. His description of
an Indian summer is so fine piece of word paint
ing that portion of 1t Is given:
Now airs warm and sweet those that kiss
The blossoms of the groves In Florida
steals softly Whispering through the woods, and
crimp
The sleeping streams. New leases of new life
Seem given TO him whose evanescent years
Are rounding to long. .repose
Who hither came while yet the red man held
Dominion here. No fablnR pen portrays
This seasons sweet, luxurious transient sway.
Not man alone, though he IN chief, enjoys
Its brief career; the summer-working bee,
VoluptuOus In his taste, Is tempted forth,
And forages with skill; across my path
The boarding squirrel springs with fresh-got spoil;
The winter birds discard the sumnch seed
And dry wlldgrnpes, and haunt the sunny hooks
That lure the worm and insect out, for food
OF dnlntier sort. All nature seems TO feel
Throughout her frame the genial influence,
And woods and streams, and hills and valleys, look
Praises TO God, the Infinite the Good.

The question OF civil-servicc reform seems

is being discussed Wherever you may be. conse-
quently IL naturally presents itself to the common

Tho Bunmor :SrISade.

For years tho two Houses have sup.
ported little army of bummers, who get
good pay without rendering service. In
truth, tho Legislature has been turned
into a sort Of political hospital, where the
blind, and the lame, and the halt arc cared
for. The pastors and folders are jolly
brigade Of themselves, who dress in fine
linen, and fare sumptuously every day,
but the majority Of them do nary day S
work. The work they are paid to do, but
do not do, can be done, and we'll done too,
for less than One-fourth of the money paid
them. As the House is in the hands
of tho Democrats, if these bummers be
not dismissed the service, the newspapers
will DO heard from. The Senate, with
ono fourth the members of the House, has
as many clerks, less two, another swindle
on the tax payers. "Gcntlemen, of the
upper House," dismiss tho bummers and
loafers who hang around your chamber,
who do NO work, but draw their pay with
extraordinary regularity. Get rid of part
of your brigade of scrub women, which
cost the state So, ,472.25 in 1879, and lop
off other extravagant expenditures which
are seen on every side. If these abuses be
not corrected, there will be trouble in the
camp. The verdict of November covers
all these points.
