The sun., 1898-04-23

| gent literary lady OF Boston, Mhsa, whose
| name, as We are pleased 10 notice. he has
omitted, tho letter being Of private nature. '
| Hero sincerity shines forth from overy line,
"Through your kindness" she writes, :" I can
now enjoy the whole Of the beautiful lyric be-
ginning:
"As the summer sunbeams
| Peep DER the distant hills
on some sweet and lonely brook.
So my weary, longing eyes,
| warm with the dew OF love,
To thee alone do look.
But why 80 shortI You always stop WHOM
| one wants you to 20 on the most" Alas, Mr..
Coogleri How many man ere you has found
| his elouuence fail him-his fund of phrases give
out at the moment whom tho fair one most
wished him to 90 oni IT'S the common fate.
| sir! and. as Montagne and other philosophic
| persons have pointed out, w0 must cen make
the best of It. It seems TO us that the spirited
Coogierian invocation to circumstances "
| lightly touches on this very point:
In circumstances chilly hand.
Der dangerous gulf we stand,
Hungry and sore.
No human hand can save us there,
We must endure our own despair
Forever more.
And now, Mr.. Coogler, with regret we lay down
your little volume and give you greeting, sans
adicu, till the sprlngtime comes again. May
your shadow never grow less and may your
muse continue to prove kind. As you, in one Of
your own soft and soothing stanzas. put 1t;
Round thy path may roses olustsr
And DER thy heart the myrtle twine.
And ne'er ray of hope grow dim
Within that gentle head Of thine.
In short memoir entitled Tho Eugene Field
Knew" Mr.. Francis Wilson gives some inter
estins extracts from letters and relates some
anecdotes that fill out q little volume that
should be welcome to the friends and admirers
of tho chidren's poet. Tho book is illustrated.
