TIE RETURN OF TIE sVBET SINGER

The voice Of her who 10 known In select ftrary
circles Of Wyoming County as the sweet singer
Of Java Is heard again. Il was but natural
that with the return of jocund spring she should
resume her high-but not too sllired high-poetc
function, which was meaSurably suspended dur
ing the winter months. A close observer OF tae
seasons has well remarked:
In the spring young man queries Of his sfi no can
In tie spTIs look out for dtiss from the singer swest
Il Is one of the most admired features Of this
engaging pdetess that you always know wfpfe
TO find her. She steadily does the duty nefeso
her, and that duty is invariably TO set the liz Oh
Java 10 music, TO give the homely Joys and ser-
rows Of the village rich-but-noegaudy seg%ns'
We quote the following from her latest confiOa-
ton to The Attica News:

Il win be seen that the ballads are simply satu-
rated With local cOior apd consequently, are dis
tinotively American The admirers Of Robert
Browning In Wyoming County are inclined to
sheer at the sweet singer Of Java and TO dwell
complAsently upon The fact that although there
are 8,sss Bsewnns clubs IN the country, not 3
single orGaaiSstaon has a. yet been protected look
ing to the study Of the works Of Javas bard. The
comparison thus instituted Is not without force,
and 10 10 but natural that the Wyoming Browning
ties should call attention TO il But the Javsites

very fact that no club has yet been formed either
IN this country or in England to study the sweet
singers works is demonstration Of the superiority
OF her lucent genius. Her songs they point cut,
are kre the songs Of the nightingale ike the songs
Of the mountain overwhelmingly; to hear
them Is to understand them and to understand
them 10 70 be
"Lost in wondcH love and prsss'
It is not our purpose. however, to be drawn into
this discussion. The literary circles Of the Eng
disappearing race are many and wide. and there
Is room enough in them both for Browning and
the sweet singer Of Java. We simply desire y
call attention to the fact that the latter, after
silsnee which the lovers of realistic poetry with
the bark on have found difficult to cordohe,
has taken down her harp from the Wyoming vii
oys May her days be long in the land for the wear
ing OF cloth Of gold-unalloyed and yard wide
