The Ruby-crouned ,xunslet.


Where's your kingdom. little king7
Where's the land you cali your own,
Where's your palace, and your throne?
Fluttering lightly on The wing
Through the blossOm-world of May,
Whittier lies your royal wayf
Where's the realm that owns your sway,
Little king2
'Far to northward lies land,
Where the trees together stand
Closer than the blades Of wheat,
When the summer is complete,
Like a robe the forests hide
Lonely vale and mountain side,
Bllsam, hemlock, spruce. and pine
All those mighty trees are mine.
There's river flowing free;
All its waves belong to me.
There's a lake so clear and bright
Stars shine out OF IT al. night,
And the rowan-beTries red
Round it like girdle spread.
Feasting plentiful and fine.
Air that cheers the heart like wine,
ROYAL pleasures by the score,
Wait for me in Labrador.
There I'll build my dainty nest:
There I'll fix my court and rest;
There from dawn to dark III sing:
Happy kingdom. Lucky king,'
Back again, my little kiugi
Is your happy kingdom lost
To that rebel knave, Jack Frost2
Have Won felt the snow-Aakes sting?
Autumn Is a rude disorder:
Houscless. homeless in October
Whittier now2 Your plight is sober,
EXi.ed king
Ear to southwark lie the regions
Where my loyal fower-leeions
Hold possession Of the year.
Filling every month with cheer.
Christmas wakes the winter rose;
New Year dsfodils unclose:
Yellow jasmine through the woods
Runs in March with golden floods,
Dropping from the tallest trees
Shining streams that never freeze.
Thither NUT find my way,
Fly by night and feed by day,
Till see the Southern moon
Glistening the broad lagoon,
Where the cypress vivid green,
And the dark msgnolia's sheen.
Weave shelter round my home.
There the snowstorns never come;
There the hammered moses grey
in the breeZes gently sway,
Hanging low every side
Round the covert where hide.
There I hold my winter court,
Full of merliment and sport;
There | take my ease and sing,
Happy kingdom. Lucky king"
Little boaster, vagrant king!
Neither North nor SO 18th j. yours
You've no kingdom TIT endures.
Wandering every fall and spring.
With your painted crown so slender,
And your talk OF royal splendor
Must call YOU 4 pretender,
LaEditss king?
Never king by right divine
Ruled a richer realm than mine,
What are lands and golden crowns,
Armies, fortresses. and towns,
Jewels. sceptres, robes, and rings
What are these to song and wings!
Everywhere that ] can fly,
There | own the earth and sky;
Everywhere that | sing
There I'm happy as a king"
Henry Van Dyke, in the Independent.

THE Prelude and the Play" by Rufus
Mann. is about as unfortunate "a failure
as was ever endorsed by great publishing
house for some utterly mysterious reason.
1t is supposed TO be a story of life in
university town, probably Cambridge. and
that is possibly the reason why all the
characters talk in Hellenic English with
variations of would-be highfown Ameri-
can. They use more long words than have
been used in any one book since the days
of Transcendentalism, and combined with
these are colluquialisms which upset the
dignity Of several paragraphs. In addition
10 all this the book is permeated with a
deadly dizziness. Boston: HOughton,

John Hollingshead thus describes Thack
eray's writing habits:

cray writing habits:
He wrote a very small, neat hand, and used
slips Of note paper. These he would often gather
up and put In his coat pocket, leaving his secre-
tary at work, and stroll down to the Athenaeum
Club. Here, if he could get a comfortable ia
bic and not waylad by any gossip to whom
he was always ready to give attentive ear, he
would pull out his slips and carry his story a
few steps further. In hour or two he would
again collect the scattered papers and go on TO
the GarTick Club. where, if not interrupted. he
would resume his writing. This habit Of compos-
ing in public frightened many OF the old ciuh
fogies, who thought they were being caricatured
for posterity, and doubt helped TO get him
blaCkballed at the Travellers.
