Mr.. Foss has been writing bright
things ior many years, chiefly finding
welcome and recompense in the New
England weekly papers. We recall sew
ersl excellent bite of humor in his very
earliest pieces. The poetry OF this very
taking volume is not great, but it is just
what is claimed for it. an expression Of
the sentiment OF the places and people
that made up the surroundings and the
compsnionships OF the singers life. He
| has set his verses to the music OF tine
simple country life about him and in
the dialect OF the people, and it deserves
place in the household.
All OF the above named volumes are
| in the prettiest style of modern book
making, and Messrs. Lee & Shepar1 are
keeping up their old pace.
