ST A YEAR IN ADVANCE
LITERARY NOTES.

Scribner's Magazine for January be.
gins the XVII volume and gives FORE
taste of number of the important pro-
jects which are to characterize the
year. Am ing the most attractive of
these Is t.e series of papers by Robert
Grant o. 'The Art of Living" written
In semi'satirical but very practical
vein, and dealing with the every day
problems of living in the humorous
and shrewd manner that made his IRE.
Elections of Married Man" one of the
most popular serials ever published in
this magazine. In this number Mr..
Grant begins with a discussion of the
question of Income" showing what
the average man can do with $4,000
year and with $4,000. The social ga.
tire OF the papers exactly adapts them
to the clever pencil Of Charles Dana
Gibson. 1t is a notable characteristic
of this series las of the other great
projects announced for the year, that
each article in each number will stand
alone as to individual interest.
Noah Brooks begins group of three
papers on American Party Politics with
a most informing account of "The Be-
ginnings of American Politics." relat-
ing the political complications with
the same nearness of view as though
he were contemporary observer. The
group Of papers will furnish an admir-
able introduction to the leading his
torical plan of the year which begins
in the March number-President An.
drew's brilliant narratives of "The
Last Quarter Century in the United
States.'
The chief serial fiction for the year
is George Meredith's 3 fascinating novel,
The Amazing Marriage" a tale full
of adventure and incident from the
very first chapter and written in what
MIR. Meredith himself avows to be his
most direct manner.
The frontispiece of the number is an
engraving by Henry Wolf of painting
by w. M. Chase, and is the first of
series of frontispieces to represent the
very best work by American wood en-
gravers. 1t is accompanied with
short article about Mr.. Wolf and with
a number from his best blocks.
Among other notable articles in this
number, which is filled with good
things, are narrative poem by A Co.
nan Doyle; an essay on Good Taste"
by Augustine Birrell, author of "Obi-
ter Dicta." "reminiscences of DR..
Holmes as Professor of Anatomy" "by
his successor in the Harvard Medical
School, DIR. Thomas Dwight; "a Study
of the Mental Characteristics of the jap
anese," by Professor George Trumbull
Ladd, of Yale, who had unusual op-
portunities for observation during his
visit to Japan; and short account of
an important art discovery, by Edith
Whort)n, entitled "a Tuscan Shrine"
The number also contains two short
stories of unusual power, 1.-THE Going
of the White Swan, "by Gilbert Parker,
illustrated blythe distinguished French
artist, Albert Lynch, and "Swaney's
Deer Lick" by Charles d. Lainer Ia
son of Sidney Lainer,) illustrated by
A. B. Frost.

PRAYERS.

Cike some schoolmaster, kind In being
stern,
Who hears the children crying DER their
And calling "Help me, master" Jet helps

Since in his silence and refusal lies
Their self-development, so God abides
Embedding many prayers. He il not deaf
To any cry sent up from earnest hearts;
BE hears, and strengthens, when he must
deny.
He sees Us weeping over iife's hard sums,
But should He dry our tears, and give the
key,
What would IT profit US when school were
done
And not one lesson masteredl
What a world
Were this II all our prayers were grantedi

In famed Pandora's box were such vast
ills
As lie in human hearts. Should u de-

And come back as events, snapeo u ouf

What chaos would RESULT

feet, 1919,
yoicing wild prayers to heaven for fancied
boons 80,
which were denied; and that denial
bends
Ny knee to prayers of gratitude each Gay
OF my maturer life. Yet from thoss
prayers
rose always regirded for the strife
And conscious of new strength. Pray on
sad heart!
That which thou pleadest for may not be
given.
But In the lofty altitude where souls
Who supplicate Gods grace are Lifted,
there
Thou shalt find help to bear thy future lot
Which is not elsewhere found.
