The new grave in the glen
When invisible dead Isabelle
Is made flower again,
To chime and rhyme all time with
And know no more of men,
And here is a pretty conceit entitled IRE
morse"
I you once and in that hour
wrote song to last a day,
Which said your body seemed flower,
Your soul its fragrance seemed alway.
You thought me bold; and now sigh,
Because the sorry rhyme rue.
Alasl athoughtless wretch 1,
Who dared compare flower to you.
The longest piece is ''Axel," translated from
the Swedish of Esaias Tegner. There are nu-
merous folk songs as we'll, including 'Iittle
Karin and others. The book is replete with
pretty thoughts happily dressed

81.
A description of the construction action and
uses of the nasal passages and throat; certain
diseases to which they are subject and the best
methods for their prevention and cure, by the
assistant surgeon to the Metropolitan Throat
Hospital, New York. In the preface the au-
thor significantly remarks: THE careful
reader will often see advertised certificates of
failures to cure are not published The
surgeon meets many of these incurred cases at
the hospital dispensary and in private practice.
1t is quite possible to formulate catarrh cure
that will meet the needs of a certain number of
cases; but that very formula will positively in
jure many other cases, and in every case requires
intelligent application to be most effective"
the author lays down the natural treatment of
the various diseases of the organs named, and
coming from such source, it must be valuable.

earth down to the present year, the events in
the United States being chronicled down to Jan.

ton with the assassination of President Lincoln

when in fact he was shot April IA, and died on
the morning of the 10th. A well-nigh indispen-
sable volume
