A NEW HORACE.
The realist Ibsen has written dramas
on "Tbe Joy Of Life" But 1t Is not a
wholesome joy. It Is mental poison.
II ends in the madhouse. Horace's
joys all end In happiness. He seeks TO
perpetuate the innocent pleasures of
life and carry the harmless intoxica-
tons, poetry and perfumes of youth on
into perpetual evergreen halo of fresh
ness unto old age. He is the poets poet.
To know bis Horace has ever been the
accomplishment of the literary man.
A bookshelf without Horace lacks one
prerequisite Of courtly flushed scholar
ship. No writer has 30 endeared him
to all English-reading ages as the Faith
er Prout papers. We have him before
US In new royal robe of elegant die
tion and befittiDg Augustan splendor.
In pale gold laurel wreaths on delicate
ivory ground, the bindings hold trans
parent creamy pages, while kindred
spirit translates to apglo-saxon ears the
wit and wisdom Of the Roman country
gentleman. John Osborne Sargent, q
lifelong literary friend Of Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, has left this resettipg of
"Horatian Echoes" He was brother
Of Epes Sargent, writer of anti
slavery fiction of considerable note.
In referring to the latin poet, who unites
the felicities of municipal and rural
life in most charming wedlock of let
ters, DR.. Holmes writes of the "perfec-
"tion Of his style. the admirable truth
"snd discrimination of his critical judg-
I'm ent, the charming companionable
Familiarity of his Odes, the thoroughly
"human feeling which pervades them,
qualified by the sensitive fastidious-
"ness inseparable from the highest cul-
"tiyation." Twenty centuries cannot
dim the dramatic presentation nor de-
stroy the spicy aroma Of his wit, which
are here preserved In their true flavor:
The brilliant throng
That crowd the poets pictured page
Still lives In his imperial song
The soul of the Augustan age.
Columns could not hold the bright
passages we would like to quote from
this admirable rendition of a favorite
with all the bright intellects of the ages.
"The pure of hand and whole of heart"
have always loved Horace. They will
love him none the less for this edition,
80 tasteful and inviting and delicious.
