Cooks and Authors;
Comment and Gossip,

Perhaps the most attra ct1ve volume
for us in the Literatures Of the World
series OF the Messrs. Appleton will be
the one devoted to American Ltera-
ture. 1t has been written by Professor
William p Trent, and embraces the
whole period from the first settlement
down to recent times. Professor Trent's
previous writings and the chair he holds
at Columbia give ample assurances that
this work will be constructed on broad
and interesting lines. and that it will be
adapted to the needs of those who de-
sire wise guidance in their study Of a
subject heretofore treated in frag-
mentary. ineffective, or otherwise in
adequate way.
The Lancet, the well-known English
medical weekly. has been inquiring into
the question OF the transmission of
genius from father to son. and has found
that the sons Of great poets are generally
dun dogs. Poetic fervor is evidentally
spiritual flame that burns out in the
generation wherein 1t is kindled. In
decd, 1t often seems to burn out the very
aptitude for paternity: or Is it that the
poet is generally too poor to permit him
self the delight Of fetherhood? How
ever 1t may be. many eminent English
poets can never be accused of having
..dull dogs OF sons. because they never
mad any sons at all. Cowley. Butler,
Otway, Prior. Congreve. Gay. Phillips,
Savage. Thomson, Collins. Shenstone
Akens1de. Goldsmith, Grey. Johnson and
Keats all died without leaving Offspring
and Pope. Swift, Watts and Cowpel
were never married. Drydens, Add:
sons and Parnells descendants did not
pass into the second generation, and the
descendants or Shakespeare and Milton
became extinct in the second and third
rcnera tons Sir Walter SCOTS baron
etcy expired with his SON.

Greed Of Gold.

Accused Greed of Gold! What hast
Thou wrought!
What crimes accomplished, and what
mischief dona
Dost turn our manhood into beastliness;
And human hearts to stone? For love
of Gold
Man barters truth and honor; sells him
4 slave ave- to pasest passions; brushes out
What's noblest in his nature; strangles
The very heart-throbs OF his yearnlng
soul:
And all for what? To kindle up a fire
Must burn forever. To awake a fend
Whose fierce torrnentings give no place
for rest;
To rouse a passion cannot be appeased:
An all-consuming jealousy and fear;
A torturing envy at another's good.
Goaded by desperation by wish to- get:
Yet have not, with ceaseless cry for
more
and villainies
Hast thou not planned! What meanness
and tricks
And base contrivings 'gainst another's
Hast thou devised to safe thy sateless
NAV! +
What schemes SO vile that thou hast
not attempted;
What place so sacred thou hast not
defiled. .sSs5
For not alone on Change, in counting
house,
or in the daily mart OF honest trade,
Thy stealthy form is seen and power is

In dismal corners with the bulls
and bears.
How many a lawyer hast thou fed with

How many a judge has found that Jus

All these, methinks, have heard thy
treacherous call,
