The author OF @Tancred's Daughter and Other
poenss modestly, though cannot in conscience say
untruthfully, ikens his verses TO {" bubbles upon
river which shall moment gleam." The principal
poem Is upon an old theme. The most noteworthy
feature OF this poem is the surprising character OF the
metaphors employed. Thus gold figures not Only
normally as a purchasing agent but as snare, the
slmy marks of which possess the strange faculty of
making men thirsty and at tho same time OF seducins
them with siren AIRS An address TO Austin Dob
SON Is calculated TO astonlsh that graceful poet with
the information that his "Lydian airs" carols
weave" which, IL true, ought to be inquired into
A new and enlarged edition Of Mrs. Herrsck John
sons Comfort will be welcomed by many who have
felt the solace of her strong and tender pity
and the simple optimism Of her domestic and
religious verse. Her poems are often sweet
and graceful and always elevated and
cheerful They take hold the practical things
of fe and must not be judged from the point of view
Of art productions
Mr. Belts has translated the greater part Of Beran-
rers songs in metres closely following those of the
original The result Is not happy All the subtle

cd IN the process OF rendering them into English.
In form they resemble the work Of the French lyrsL
but IN very little else The method adopted by Mr..
pefts was in truth an unfortunate Adherence
70 the metro Of soreign poet can never secure The
transference OF tho Informing spirit Of his verse.
Tbackeray's liberal translation OF several Of Beran-
GERS songs comes much nearer expressing the soul
Of the poet than do any Of these abored versions,

THE wILEs OF THE DEVIL,

"Be sober, be vigilant: for your adver.
sary, the devil, walketh about" HE who
does not see the wiles and artifices of the
enemy, only beats the air, and the devil is
not afraid of him"
An eminent servant of Godin our own day
has repeatedly said: 81 have an increasing
fear Of Satan, and feel an increasing need,
as God is using me in his service, OF keeping
closer and closer to Him who alone can keep
me from Satan's power" He ever aims to
draw away and use to Gods dishonor those
who have been brought nearest to Christ.
He went right among the twelve to find one
to betray Him, and another to deny Him;
and so when God is using us we should be
doubly on guard.
And let the young Christian remember
whence come the evil thoughts that often
dart through the mind-sometimes even
when he is engaged in the most holy exer-
cises-and let him not be unduly cast down
because OF these evil suggestions. He who
tempted our Lord is permitted to tempt us.
We are not held responsib for wicked
and cherished in the breast, and the sinful
suggestion welcomed and delighted in. As
an old writer has said, "We cannot hinder
the birds flying over US, and sometimes un-
awares lighting upon our heads; but we
can hinder them building nests in our hairs"
and so, although we cannot hinder Satan
suggesting the most awful, blaspheming,
vile, and unbelieving thoughts to our minds,
we can hinder their entrance into our hearts
by the simple cry to Jesus, and the turning
Of the mind to him. Look unto Me, and be
ye saved" is a precious promise to plead
when thus assaulted. Submit yourselves
to God, resist the devil in the name of
Jesus, and 'she will fee from you"

DISTRACTIONS PRAYER.

carnos pray; yet, Lord Thou knowesa
The pain it is to me
To have my vainly S Tiggling thoughts
Thus torn away from Thee.
Prayer was not meant for luxury
Or selfish pastime sweet;
'Tis the PROSTATE creatures place
At his Creators feet
He'd !, dear Lord, no pleasure found
But in the thought of Thee,
Prayer would have come unsought and been
A truer liberty.
Yet Thou art oft most present. Lord,
In weak, distracted prayer;
The sinner out of heart with self
Most often finds Thee there.
For prayer that humhles, sets the soul
From all illu,i free,
And teaches it how utterly,
Deax. Lord, it hangs on Thea
The heart that on self-sacrifce
Is covetously bent,
VIII bless Thy Christening hand that makes
lis prayer its punishment.
My Saviour, why s. ould complain,
And why fear au2ht but sin?
Distractions are but outward things,
Thy peace dwells far within.
These surface trorbles come and 60
Like rufflings Of the sea;
The deeper depth Is out of reach
To all, my God, but Thee.
