Songs of Nature.

II is seldom that the plan of a library
compilation is more intelligently carried
out or that a complete volume is more hap
PLY named than in Songs of Nature"
edited by John Burroughs. 1t is a collec-
ton Of the best nature poems by the best
writer's of England, Scotland and America.
The name of the author, himself one of the
delightful poets of nature, is an assurance
of the intelligence and sympathy with
which the work of selecting and compiling
has been done. In an Introduction he says:
In compiling this anthology of nature
poetry L have been guided entirely by my
own taste in such matters; / have here
gathered together such poems as L myself
prefer amid the material at my disposal.
This is in accordance with the wishes OF the
publishers, who desired that the collection
should be mine in a real sense. and thus
carry with il such SAVIOR Of originality as
one mans preferences may give 10 such a
work" So the collection represents the
editors taste and choice in poetry and
discriminating readers VIII not like IL the
less for that. IN the introduction he says
again: Il am surprised at the amount OF
so-called nature poetry that has been added

terly and unfairly so? Look over the pro-
ceedings and fix the date. There are but
two Democratic senators and no Repre-
sentatives who do not assail the Republican
administration viciously when they have
anything TO say. And yet no minority
party was ever so generously treated by
the dispensing Of patronage To their friends.
The reward for that kindness is the bitter
and unjust assaults of such men as Rich
ardson, OF fragrant memory of a book
transaction. Hay of Virginia. Burlesou of
Texas. and Wheeler of Kentucky. There
has been no change of attitude toward the
Republicans by Democratic congressman
from the South; why should Republicans
hesitate TO make them pay the penalty of
violating the Constitution?
Perhaps some trembling soul may imagine
that a Democratic orator can make po-
litical capital by telling on the stump in
Indiana the effect of the Crumpacker reso-
luton. What would such an orator say?
The Republicans have instituted an in
vestigation which will show that by the

so many colored people have been disfran-

South Carolina they will have represent

linian good as two Indianians in Con-
gress. That is all he could say; does any
one imagine that such a depreciation of
Indiana people would attract votes? Some,

1t is a pleasure to find, in the ocean of
trash that is turned out as Juvenile litera-
ture, few fair currents of youthful fiction
that are healthful in tone, not carrying
the immature mental craft to any haven of
dubious anchorage; clean and well-wrltten,
furnishing at once entertainment and in
struction, and intoxicating a high plane of
youthful morals. When so many publish
ing houses are willing to put out the veriest
trash-loosely written stories in poor Ian
gLAge and of no morals at all, it is but
jlst that a word of appreciation should be
spoken for a house that seems TO seek TO
supply acceptable literature for youthful
readers. OF such q class and from such
