plaintive chord in the memory of many
thousands on both sides Of the Atlantic.
Indeed, Eliza Cooks poems have long
been loved wherever the English Ian
gllage is spoken. There is a certain class
of verse which, be it approved or not by
the critics, always touches the popular
heart. A dainty bit of sentiment,

consisting Of few stanzas, often warns
the gentler feelings and finds a lasting
place where far more pretentiOus pieces
are born and die comparatively un-
noticed. If such poem has been taught
US when we were children by some one
especially beloved, it becomes sanctifed
TO US, and is apt to be revered and ad
mired even beyond its actual merit.
