A BALLADE OF BOOKS.
FN L. NJ.

The star-shine drifts across the gloom
The pebbles whisper to the brooks,
And in the silence of my room
delve among the sacred books,
Among the hallowed thoughts of men,
Soul living in the stored cline,
Drawn by the poets artful pen
Upon the yellow page of time.
In stately rows with silent lips,
These books that hold "A language dead
Stand open; while my spirit sips
The nectar from their wisdom shed:
The honey dew of sweet romance,
| The subtle alchemy of song
| The myriad melodies that dance
The groves of Already among
| Oh, silent masters on my shelves!
l draw silent truth from thee
! \ blessing waits for him who deives
! In patience by the sobbng sea,
| That floods the sunny Uses of life,
That dashes on the rocky coast,
And lends to threnodies of strife
The balm of Holy Pentecost.
| They are not wholly dumb to me,
These ancient tones in blue and gold,
Their lisping leaves of fantasy
Revive new life in the old:
| Tie cycled centuries rise again,
The crests of England wave in air,
| The witchery of sun and rain,
Are mingled in their pages rare.
And DER the petty ills that bind
n ring of iron about the heart,
| Upon the moaning winter wind
The songs of vanished MINISTRIES start.
| oh. peaceful hour when toll is past,
The daylight wearin esses Ger,
| And shadows of the evening cast
| Their pallid glow upon the floor.
| seek the lofty chamber here
Where Milton and his fellows dwell;
| Where Nivien and Guinevere,
Beside the grave of little Nell,
| Chant Ger again their olden tale,
And, half unrobed, the Marble Faun
| Stands in the silvery moonlight pale
Beside The fiery, mad Don Juan.
| And once again the lofty pines
OF some Bryantc forest lift
| Their tossing heads, while Poe divines
The melodies that ever drift
| Upon the listening ear of night,
As by the door Evangeline
| Stands in her simple grace bedight
The angel of poets dream.
oh, dear delight Of sunny days!
oh gentle gladness of a youth
| That sought the leafy woodland ways
To learn its simple creeds of truth.
| Again the vanished moments come,
Again the messy wayside hooks,
| When all the weary work is done
And | am silent with my books
| But leave the ancient tones tonight,
Give me the poem of my life,
And all the simple songs that light
With joy the mirthess page of strife.

GENERAL GRANTS MEMOIRS.
BY A "CRITIC" REVIEWER.

Twenty years ago public opinion was /
by no means unanimous in it's opinion of
Grant. Sherman fairly divided the hon.
ors with him in popular estimation as
the most skiful General of the war, ard
a large portion of the army of the Poto- .
mac and their friends in the East refused (
to acknowledge that he had any military
skill at all To-day hs is PROFESSIONALLY
the foremost man among the soldiers of
the war, and his only rival in the period I
in which he lived is Lincoln. One or
two generations hence, it is probable .
that his name will be synonymous-to 1
the exclusion of all others-with the
suppression of the rebellion. As in
England there are to-day hundred stat .
ues of Wellington to every one of Pitt, as .
Washington's name is know to millions ,
who cannot recall the name of any men,
Der of the Continental Congress, so in
the future will the name and fame of
Grant probably outlive and surpass those
of the anti-slavery leaders who prepared
the war and of the President and Cabi-
net and Congress who conducted it. As
time goes on, moreover, it will be more
and more believed that the war for the
suppression of rebellion and slavery on
this continent was of greater import to
the human race than any war that ever
was fought. Educated people may not
share these views now or hereafter, but
to the great mass of people who have
only room III their minds to remember
few great events and a"few great names,
the civil war will be the greatest event
of modern times and Grant the chief ac-
tor in it.
1t is in such a capacity that we must
examine and judge the book in which he
has told us the story of his life, and
which will endure as long as his name.
OF all the men who have played great
part in the worlds affairs, not another
one would have been capable at the close
of his life of writing so simple story
as this. This simplicity was the key
note OF IranG y Character, anu IL Ii tnc
most salient feature of his book. His
humble origin, his uneventful boyhood
and early manhood, he describes in the
same unaffected manner as he tells US O
what he thought and did at Donelson,
and Vicksburg. He does not try to con-
ceal anything in his early life, nor on the
| other hand to exaggerate it so as to make
the contrast with his later successes
