voice of honey, lovable ways, and a persistent

mother. whose weak and deccitful character Mrs.
Walfotd has drawn with not IL little power Up
hill and down dale roves idle Dick, ncglcctful,

Love but her, and love forever
With Nancy, sweet, bashful and steadfast, the
shifting and uncertain lad falls headlOng IN love,
and when that gracious sentiment enters his heart
the "deyeles" begin to take wing. His course of
love runs far from smoothly and grief and repent
ance together help TO make the manly nan whose
regeneration unselish affection has begun.
Mrs. Walford who, as a woman of wealth, has a
serene literary leisure shows no haste careless
ness in her novels. The characters of Dick Meth

an evident appreciation and enjoyment of the
whimsical and the unreasonable. Especially good
in his way is the old Scotch lord, Dicks master,
whose irrItability is constantly suppressed by his
sense of Justice and whose Justice in turn is sweet
ened by his half-leluctant kindness

There is that in the simple narratives OF the Cos
mel which defes translation into verse, whether 1t IS
ATTEMPTED by so great master as Milton or the
smallest poetaseT of the day. The amount OF sacred
verse in English is far IN excess Of It's value when
few stop to consider seriously, testing 1t by the
standards that they apply to other verse, and re-
,tino n when it falls short of them in spite OF its
spnnosed inspiration. II one still reads Keble and
Nerman il is for the devotional spirit which ami
v,ates them. and which, if less fervent than the
snidt which animated Montgomery and Cowper
and Watts and the Wesleys is more sanely religious

POEMS BY HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOFFORD. 12mO,
ID 172. Boston: Houghton, Mhiin 4 Co. 1852
We do not feel. in reading the eighty-tVe short
poems of which Mrs Spohorls volume consists, the
uuioue element which the world has agreed to call
renius but We discover, If we look for them, many
Of the 0uaities which grouped together are con-
sidered talent If we had not read her prose TO
mances we should have guessed. we think, from her
verse that she could write romantic prose. She APP
pears to lack imag ination but she has lively and
picturesque fancy which Informs and sustans her
lyrical uttcrances She loves flowers, trees, waters
clouds-a the lesser forms and forces of Nature
and is never so happy as when she succeeds III WIN
ming their coy. reluctant smlles. She has, II seems
10 Ne. considerable familiarity with the scenery of
the seaboard coast OF New England and she has the
gift or the art Of reproducing its obvious and re-
condite charms Inside Plum Island''i j. such
poem as Mr.. Whittier mi.ht have written, and
ought perhaps, to have written, since the spots that
il celebrates are identified with the landscapes of his
nat We region. but II is superior as whole 10 any
poem Of similar character IA his writings suggest
ing as 1t does tender sweetness and pcnsivc elc-
Qauce that are absent from his poetry. When Mrs.
Spofford trusts her instinct she is at her best when
she distruSt it she is at her worst she is at her best
when she follows the recognized forms OF verse, at
her worst when she tries to create forms OF her own
stanza or two will give an idea of her natural
note, which IS very nelOuloua' sic Is addressing
the soft spring airs:
Come from the almond bouPh you stir,
The ,nvrtle thcket where yOn sigh;
On leave the nightingale, for here
The room whistles tIr and nigh!
For here the violet in the wood
Thrills with fullness yOu shall take,
And wrapt away from life and love
The wild rose dreams, and fam would wake.
For here in seed and rush and grass,
And tiptOe IN the dusk and dew.
Each sod OF the brown earth asprcs
To meet the sun, the sun and you.
