u Tell Nc Not,

tell me not thy youth has flown
And beauty is not thine,
That from thine eve no beam is thrown
Which bards may Call divine
Nor wonder more that | should choose
Thee from the Giddy throng;
For now the charms thy heart dilluse
Alone to me belong.
When sickness comes fair checks may fade
And beauty droop and die;
Then will the love thy Maker gave,
lllumine still thine eye.
All worldly gifts are but as dreams
That quickly pass away;
But thy pure love is what it seems
And never will decay.
True worth Will live beyond the bier
That shrouds its outward form;
And from i fairer land still cheer
Like star that shines through storm.
Aye, brighter still its charms display,
And hope ot heaven inspire
y ticecy cloud to guide by day
By night guardian fire
When care shall furrow deep thy brow
And cioud thy future hours,
Then will my early plighted ow
Refresh like summer showers.
o may thine heart So warm and true
Long, long respond to mine,
And Light the fires Of youth anew
Before the sacred shrine.
And when at last by death laid low
My form is torn from thee
Where mourning cypress then may grow,

A Condensed Review.


PRELIMINARY REMARKS.
| TO TIE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Truly
''the melancholy days have come" And their
sadness is again sharply accented by the ap-
pearance in your columns of poem of start
ling length from the pen of "Prof." Batcman.
Last year the author of "Manac Maid' was
| promptly complimcnted for his talented out
| burst by variety of authorities. Thus far
have seen no endorsement of his ''Tale of Chy
airy" Thinking that the poet ''who eNcels at
50 many kinds of work may feel disappointed
| if this silence is maintained, have concluded
| to embrace his invitation to ''call often" in crit
ici>ius his poetry rather than see the matter 90
| by default surely his gifts slShld not loiter
| in allegiance for lack Of encouraging words of
| mine.
! In launching his second ambitious attempt
for "a record among the poets of Maine the
"ProfeSsor" is less kind than formerly, in that
! his poetcal venture breasts the waves of pub
| lie opinion without the advantage of repetition
| in prose. In other words, "a Tale of Chval-
ry'' confrontS Us without betrayng the condi-
tions Of its carpentry. But this may be owing
to the absorption of advice previously given
that readers be permitted 10 glance between
the lines, and exercise flow of imagination.
As the work is similar in many respects we
may take it for granted that, like the "Maniac
Maid, it is the peculiar product of an attempt
'to while away the tedium of rainy days"
'amid tie rush of professional business" For
certainly the season has been very wet and,
therefore, favorable 70 a duplication Of this cx-
! tranr,lip.,r, condition ~ +I;,..
the REVIEW PROPER.
An analysis of the merits of ~ Tale of
Chivalry" is simply question of mathematics.
The statu, of the ''Profcssor>" poetcal abli-

is made simply hy in>tituting comparisons.
Thus, when ''ChiyaIry" is found to be dish
