A Day il the Woods, poem by d. G.
Colesworthy, published by A. Williams &
| Co., Boston, will be recognized IS the work
of an old townsman. Mr., Colesworthy is too
well known as poet TO need Introduction to
Portland readers, and the following cou.
mendation from Portland poet, Henry W.
Longfellog, will show how he is held among
the fraternity of authors.
"Be assured that you will find in me a
sympathetic reader; for know well IN what
a pure spirit you write, and am sure that IN
this lschool is Quit, your longest and most
elaborate work, you win not fall below your
own Standard
Mr.. John NJ. Adams, too, speaking of the
same work, said:
The poem is written in that simple un-
affected style characteristic of the author
rolling ON like rippllng stream, pure in
thought, elevated in sentiment, always chat
liable, cheerful, helpful, and often sparkling
with gems of great poetical beauty
This book is fully equal to its predecessor.
The author pictures himself wandering In
the familiar haunts of childhood, and In
dulges the thoughts which memories of 9TH
er days bring to him:
"a twang familiar; do hear
The old First Parish bell? Its sounds
Are like TO those which caught the ear
When Father Leach was on his rounds
I'm back once more to boyh0od, when
| saw the funeral train appear,
While, two by two, gray, sturdy men
Followed the slowly inding BIER
But he is reminded that many years have
flown since then:
Among the tangled vines that creep
Atween the hllocks, as pass
trip and fall adown the steep
On fragrant beds ofmeadow grass.
Up in trice move along
Less careless than was before,
Reminded anu not as young
As IN the sprightly days of yore.s
Still, reflection conyinces him that the
heart may keep its youth;
81 am not old. My virgin lips
No deleterious drug has passed
10 taint the blood-the mind eclipse,
| And cold, repulsive shadows cast
Ger thriliug scenes No poisonous weed
Has chilled the eflersescent flow
OF keen perceptions, whence proceed
Hopes that elate and thoughts that glow.
81 am not old. Refreshly beams
The future with elysian Springs,
As when sweet adoleScent dreams
Gave love and hope ethereal wrgs,
And in each path skipped along
thousand diaiems unToed,
And the air was tremulous with song
Age is myth. am not Old"
He loves not the city with its ''hnstling
throng' and ''hucksters' brawln and
Fumes from the filthy meersehaum slave
Insulting virtue everywhere"
He evidently does not appreciate
Lilly white clay changing softly to AMBER
but loves the couatry where
THE squirrel dropped his stolen fruit
Beside the green ard plashy rim;
Sir Sparrow with his russet suit,
Whisked down to pipe mellow hymn.
Not rare, nor choice nor musical,
lhe frog poured forth his i0eund tune
And looked so grum l never shall
Forget his wide caoutehoueine sp on
The poem is dedicated to our townsman,
George A. Thomas, in some very pleasant
words with which all will agree.

THERE lately died in Stuttgart a goose
whose martial fame has extended all over
the German Empire. fThis eccentric ami
NAL" writes Berlin correspondent, "when
still a gosliDg, abandoned its flock, dis
missed all recollections of its infancy, repu-
dated the conventional views and habits Of
geese, and boldly marching into the barracks
of an Uhlan regiment stationed itself one fine
day next to the sentry-box. Touched by
this prediction for their corps, the Uhlans
erected shed for the goose, and for twenty
three years neither threats nor persuasions
have been able to separate the MARTA. bird
from its adopted regiment for any length of
time. 1t has at different times changed quar-
ters with the corps from Esslingen to Ulm,
thence TO Ludw g5urg, and back to Ulm.
When the Uhlans went to fight for their
country the forsaken and desolate goose
took up for time with battalion of infan-
try; but no sooner did the first Uhlans re en-
ter the town than the goose marched out to
meet them, and returned with them to her
old quarters. She has now been stuffed, and
is to be seen in glass case on the gate Of
the barracks at Stuttgart

REPRESENTATIVE Hewitt of New York
has sadly owned the failure of the attempt,
in which he was conspicuous, TO organize
the Democratic party in New York city so
as to exclude the strife of "halls" After
taking an immense deal of trouble, they
found that they had merely added another

lous than the rest to the list of competitors

the biggest melon in the patch on the dark

not stated. If they will only eat freely Of

An example of the dangers of overwork
and undue mental strain has just been far
nished by the suicide of Amasa Stone, of
Cleveland, who recently lost his reason un-
der the pressure of business responsibility
and nervous exhaustion and committed sui
eide. Mr.. Stone had led a very active busi-
ness career. He began life as contractor,
and conducted many important and respon-
sibe undertakings in bridge and railroad
building. He invested in railroad stocks,
and took an active part in the management
of several roads. He also engaged in bank
ing, and lately embarked in the steel and
iron manufacture. Last year he lost heavily
in the latter investment, which fact, with
the mental anxiety cansed by the constant
strain of watching the various enterprises in
which he was interested, caused the over
throw of his reason. As the constructor of
the Inflated shtabula Bridge, which gave
way beneath train, causing heavy loss of
life, he suffered keenly from the censures
cast on him at the time, which may have
contributed to his unfortunate ending. He
had accumulated immense wealth, and had
he known when to stop in the race after for
tune he might have lived many years longer
in the enjoyment of an income ample for all
reasonable requirements. There is poins
at which wealth becomes burdensome, and
the man who passes it and goes on aecumu-
lating more than he can possibly need or en-
JOY, is oftener to be pitied as fool dragging
a self imposed burden than envied as su-
premely fortunate.

The Freedom of Faith. By Theodore 7.
Muuger. Boston: Houghton, Miffiin & Co. /,
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony Mr.
Munger's book, On the Threshold, was re-
ceIyed with praise from critics of every de-
nomination. The present volume is for old
er readers, but is equally meritorious 1t
opens with an essay upon The New Theolo-
gy, stating and defending with admirable
clearness, in loving, charitable and devout
manner, the changes of Protestant thought
by which the Broad Churchman and the
New-Schoolman are going back of Calvin,
and even of Augustine, to rehabilitate some
of the earlier views of Christian doctrine in
modern forms of thought, and to illustrate
them BY modern views Of nature.
This essay is followed by seventeen SER
mons, or rather essays, for they lack the di-
rectness of appeal which belongs to SER
mon. These sermons treat of the great
themes of Religion and Philosophy in fresh
aud charming way !; they are worthy to stand
on the same shelf with the bes. essays in our
language. So free are they from the con-
ventlonallties OF the pulpit, that we read
through the volume with great enjoyment,
before we noticed that in the table OF con-
tents the essays are called sermons. Yet,
upon reperusal, we found that they were
altogether worthy to take their place also
among the noblest efforts Of the modern pull
pit. 1t may be true that the Christian preach
er is losing, in our day, the power which he
welded in the 17th and 18th centuries; but
he is certainly exerting a higher kind of
power than ever; the intellectual strength,
the soundness of judgment, the moral puri-
ty and earnestness, the religious fervor, of
such volumes as MungeT's Freedom of Faith
are certainly elements Of power exceeded by
nothing manifested in any other direction,
whether in this, or in preceding centuries

"Rovcotting the Pope.

Mr.. John j. Fineriy is Congressman
elect from Illinois and also tremendous Or
ator. Like some other statesmen be has a
newspaper. aud the usual and only pleasure
in reading it is to remember that while he
was writing be could not have been talking.
TIE Pope's letter to the Irish bishops and
clergy has moved Finerty TO wrath too
great for ar,ienlate utterance, and accord
ingly be has emptied all his anger into the
newspaper, which is called The Citizen
probably short for The Adopted Citizen. For
headline he writes the words of i'll omen:
Boycott the Pope"
Congressman and Editor Finerty declares
that the holy fathers circular sis most intol.
erably impudent," which is rather a start
ling remark for an humble lamb of the flock
to let fall concerning the head of his church.
''If the Irish people submit cravenly to this
latest italian lash,'' says Finerty, "the whip
being furnished by The Popes worthy ally,

Great Britain and Ireland and empress of
India, they viii forfeit the respect of The

Finerty recommends to the people of Ireland
IS the usual one that is Urged upon them on
all occasions-io meet and pass resolutions.
"Let them,' he says, ''hold public meetings
throughout every diocese of Ireland, pass
resolutions sternly denouncing any more OF
his holiness unholy intervention in Irish
politics. and tell him once for all firmly and
respectfully to mind his own business as
head of the Catholic Church. They might
supplement this action by resolving not to
contribute single cent of Peters pence
while Leo Kill occupies the papal chair, or
at least until he quits his palpable and scan
dalous political alliance with the arch enemy
of the Irish nation and race. Ia a word, We
advise our countrymen, if they have any re-
spect for themselves or for Ireland, to boy
colt the Pope and teach him a lesson hat
may De services BILE at least 10 his success

Pope Leo may be much impressed With
the power of an American Congressman and
editor who proposes to boycott the head of
the Holy Catholic Church and upset the
whole hierarchy. OF course Mr. Finerty
may be able to do all this, but to those who
were born and brought up in partibas inf
deli.uR it seems as though he had undertak-

Letters TO Friend By Connop Thrill
wall, Late Lord Bishop Of St. David's. tBos-
ton: Roberts Brothers; Portland: LoriDg.
Short & Harmony. These exceedingly inter-
esting scraps of letters are arranged and ed
tied by Stanley, the late Dean of Westmin-
ster, and prefaced by a brief extract from
his own eulogy on ThirIwall. No man can
read the volume without feeling deeply
drawn toward the writer OF these letters; so
wonderful In his solid learning, and in his
familiarity with lighter literature; SO warm
ia his affection toward friends, so kind
hearted toward pets, so charitable toward
men, so generous and SO Just In his appeeci-
alton of authors, and of statesmen, with
whom he agreed, or with whom he did not
agree. The first letter is dated In August,
1854, when he was sixty-seven, the last In
November, 1874; and the series gives the
reader the privileges Of friendly correspon-
dence upon all sorts of subjects with most
agreeable, amiable and venerable clerical
member of the House of Lords for those ten
years.

Lectures on the Calling Of Christian
Woman and Her Training to Fulfil It. BY
Morgan Dix, s. T. d., Rector of Trinity
Chur .h. New York: Appleton q Co. Port
land: Hoyt, Fogg g. Donham.) These lee
lures, delivered during the season of Lent
1888, have been spoken Of SO frequently with
dlsrespect that the reader will be surprised
to find how soundly sensible large parts Of
them are. Phrases frequently occur which
reveal the Chnrchman, and, occasionally,
phrases which show a little longing for the
heshpo.s of Rome. But the general tone,--
the general doctrine and intention Of the
lecturer,-are worthy Of sympathy and
cooperation and the lectures deserve
serious and respectful perusal by
all who have any power or influence
in the education of girls, whether as parents
or as teachers. 1t is true that the writer
presents only one side Of the question; he is
an advocate, not judge; but he presents
the side which is in the greatest danger, In
our age, of being neglected.
