SOUTH READING.
A GREEN MOUNTAIN POET.

The Grinding of the Mills AMI other
Poems is the title Of a pretty little book
let recently published by the Free Press
alton. the author of which is or
fellow toWnsman, =. W. Scarf. Tho
verses are as the authors preface states,
in large measure insrJred by the varied
scenery OF the Green Mountain State and
are very appropriately Illustrated by pho
tographic reproductions of Vermont
scenes.
MIR. Scarff's muse sings chiefly OF Ma
ture and her moods and in many of the
verses the expression Is both fitting and
felicitOus, as for example, The Mountain
Brock" Sunset Home" and The I.2-
gag Fence" He sometimes. however,
strikes a deeper and more human chord,
is witnessed in the Reply to the
Man With the Hoe" and the Dignity
Of Labor" in which also ne seems tho,-
oughly at homo. In this case it certainly
seems true that the Mills of the Gods
grind exceedingly fine. though we trust
that slowness Of production will not pre-
vail in the future
