Before leaving this very bright and
entertaining series would like to mem
ton Bethia Wray's New Name, by
Amanda M. Douglas. This well-known
author is born story-teller. and in this
volume she has given charm to the
narration which will be felt by every
reader, and will greatly advance her al
ready high reputation. She has intuit-
i've perceptions with rare power of de-
ecription, and che manages to show
whole village-its people, its ideas and
ways. Each character OF the story is
clearly conceived and solidly embodied,
and becomes personal acquaintance.
The reader sees the traits of each.
whether noble or weak or base, as If he
were inspecting their souls. But it ia
not solely a psychological study; for the
story is full of movement, and of natural,
lively incident; and the fortunes of the
heroine and her friends will be followed
with absorbing interest. Bethias' New
Name results from her intellectual and
moral development.

ONLY 4 DREAM.

Only a shoe, wrinkled and small
A tiny shoe, that's all
Tucked away in a drawer deep
The day the darling feel asleep.
Toothprints on the little toe
Recall the joys of long ago
Laughing eyes and the chubby hand
With tender touch Of magic wand
And swelling tears in mothers eyes
Link these lower lands with the skies;
And echoing from that shoe
The lisping love of baby's coo.
Only some flowers, crisp and dry,
Their fragrance fed in days gone by +;
Lilies and pinks which lay amid
Other wreaths on the coffin lid.
Only the offerings of love,
"Gatcs ajar," or floral dove;
But they touch the chord that lies
Tween our grief and paradise,
And far beyond the stars which CLINT
In heavens fairest armament
We hear the harp strains toned so true
Harmonize with baby's coo.
Only a marble slab that stands
In the er-hecked meadow lands,
Marking the grassy mound where lies,
Closed in death, those baby eyes.
Only mem'ry lingering still
Like far-off song of whippoorwill
When fading day dies soft and fair,
Waited away on zephyred air.
Only dream whose shadow lies
In shim'ring sheen from out the skies,
Falling family, tender and true,
Echoing lisp of baby's coo.
