There are so-called poets arising by the thous-
and in this age whose yerbosity only hides
commonplace. The author of this volume,
many of whose productions have appeared in
the Atlantic Monthly and other periodicals.
however. cannot be classed with these; she
has genius. if not of the highest order. still
genius rich in thought and the powers of eX-
preston. She has sought the MUSES.. and they
have rewarded her pains and prayers.
Amongst modern books of legendary and
lyrical poetry this should find a permanent
place.
THE FAIR ENCHANTREss: OR, How
SHE WoN MEMS HEARTS," just published by
T. b. Peterson 4 Brothers, Philadelphia, is Il
novel of great power and interest. 1t is com
pactly written, not word beng wasted, anu
the plot is capitally framed. 1t deals chiefly
with the history of young girl, who. thrown
upon the world through the murder of her
mother, is rescued and educated by "A wealthy
citizen of New Orleans. The young girl, Mora,
deyotes herself TO the detection and punish
ment of her mothers assassin. Mora has sew
eral admirers, all worthy and honorable men,
aud her love affairs will certainly enrapture all
lady readers. so cleverly are they depicted.
The scenes are remarkably vivid, and the pict-
ure Of New Orleans will make deep and last
ing impression on everybody. Quite number
of exciting episodes are introduced in the
course of the striking romance. A child Is
poisoned by a jealous woman, mysterious
Opera-singer creates wonderful sensation, ana
