charming verse and prose by MT. Charles 1 c. Whiting Of the Sp Rheh Republican editorial staff, entitled sThe Saunterer, ? has just been issued from tho press ot sricknor S Co.,, Boston. MT. Whiting is one of the best literary. critics of the coun. try, and one of those born poets whose prose is often even more delightful than his verse. He is 2 lover and keen observer l of both men and nature. The Saunterer' was pure, delightful and most edifying feature of The Sunday Republican for 2 number of years. This is one of the books that will never wear out and will not s'fall fiat on the market. Mr. Whiting, in, the most charming sense, is our living Thorean.
