1t is gratifying when VIC find writer
who has a thorough grasp of his subject
Il adds tremendous zest to tho story to
find. also, that powers of description are
gwen him in large measure. But
when we come upon a book whose at
mosphcre is the thing itself and told with
{. vocabulary amazing in its breadth and
cxpressiveness, we feel as II fresh
breeze had blown across our literary
world This much and more. might be
said OF ..Wolfyille Days" by Alfred i1enry
Lewis.
liere is writer who knows the life
lie describes thoroughly and sees all its
humorous. pathetic and tragic sides, ana
IL yet able to describe 1t in a manner
as picturesque and rich in new express
sion as Bret Earte ever used. OF course!
there Is dialect but 1t Is not dialect
OF bad spelling and omitted letters, SO
much az it is in the turn Of sentence
or a quip OF speech: and the whole 70
given with the most delightful JUNCTION.
The author has the faculty of giving
without actually describing the appcar-
anca OF his people. a most vivid impress
sion 70 the mind OF the reader. One

beauties Of Nature.
By Miss sallie E. Jones, Age 49,

By Miss Sallie E. Jones, Age 15.)
The beauties of nature are so varied
and sublime that no description can do
them justice. They are far beyond our
comprehension. Even our most beautiful
imasinations are but dim outlines of the
boundless beauties of nature. We see
them and admire them. but the most
learned botanist cannot understand about
the formation of even the simple little
wild flowers. There are limitations OF
some of natures beauties, but they are
very inferior. Take for instance an artl-
fetal rose and place by it's side natural
one; you will see how vastly inferior the
artificial one is to the natural one: II
lacks that tinge Of lifo which is so requi-
site to beauty in almost everything. A
sunset sky is prettier than any picture
which an artist has ever formed. The
white clouds edged with gold from the
rays Of the disappearing sun, form mex
hausitble topics for peotS \ setting
moon is a beautiful scene. I have seen
it when it looked almost as brilliant as
the sun, as it rapidly disappeared beneath
the distant treetops, leaving behind it
streaks of golden light with which to
light up the distant horizon. A clear moon
shiny night Is a lovely scene; it has
kind Of enchanting power: it looks light
but the light is not like the sunshine 1t
seems to only half reveal things; 1t causes
the things to have something like mys-
tical beauty, and shrouds the world in
flood of wonderful light. Even in the
gathering storm, when the great black
clouds are sailing about, and the great
thunders that cause YOU to quake with
fear is heard, and the forke and zig-Zag
lightning that plays amongst. the clouds
is seen. even in such a scene there is
ma iestic beauty. There is scarcely thing
Of natures but what has some beauty.
What can be conceived Of that is any
nrettier than when the tiny little snow
fakes are quietly falling down from the
clouds s,,pon the earth to cover the seeds
and keep them alive through the long,,
cold winter They look like little fairies;
and il it turns off cold, and be sleet,
truly lovely scene will meet our eyes.
The little frozen snowhakes look like d1a-
monds glittering in the sunshine. CLOUDS
are pretty spectacles. They are what
renders sunset sky so lovely. the rays
Of light from the setting sun edges them
with streaks of gold. The little thin
clouds that lazily float over the broad
expanse of the azure sky are very beau
tiful-they s. are SO soft and white
mottled sky is very pretty. the thin white
clouds look like they are stretched until
they are thin enough for the blue sky to
be seen through them The cloud Is thin
ner in some places than in others. In
some places it is so thin that it looks like
it lust is holding together. On a calm.

Poems" by ]. w. de Forest, an author
Of half a dozen books better known at the
North, contains his recollections, inverse,
of the more striking events OF his career
as an officer in the Union army. and OF
his travels in Palestine There are also
tales and ballads, studies and miscellan-
eous verse. A fair example of his work
is his tribute to the Confederate soldier.
"Glorious braves those rebels were,
As gallant ranks as ever dashed
Up smoking sleeps with bayonets bare.
While volleys wl1izzed and cannon
cracked
Athwart the swarms of gTey-clad men
The memory makes me drop the pen.
1 think it might be fine to hear
Their whoop again-their panther yell.
No trained hurrah, no classic cheer;
But savage yelps of void and fell;
A cry of wolves in hunting bout;
And yet q stirring, martial shout.
TT Gettysburg how swift they came,
Right-shoulder-shift quick-step guide
right;
Defying all our roar and flame
With yell on yell they climbed the height
The fighting blood Of a hero race
Ablaze in every swarthy face!

E.25.
This gay little skit, thoroughly and
lightly Partisan, is most inimitably funny
from iirst 10 last. Papa Boucnard, the
automatic advocate of ripcning middle
tge. is encouraged by the sudden rebellion
and flight OF his sisters parrot TO escape
also from the restricting influences OF the
deadly quiet establishment in the Rue
.larissc and seek younger quarters in the
brilliant Rue Bassano. In this design he
has the active if suppressed sympathy OIL
his servant Pierre, whose wife. by the
way, has no faith in anything male, not
even in parrots.
Papa Bouchard moves into the quarters
just vacated by the abandoned journalist
zN;arsac. and in this his needy nephew, the
artillery Captain, finds him and deity
works him. for a pocketful of francs.

Molly Elliot SeaWell's Partisan Skit, Papa
Bouchard," is Very Strong.

Among the most delightful. refreshing
and humorous Of these is Col. William
Greene Stereette, editor of the Coyote.
This character, IL not q photograph Of
a real parsonage, ought to be. He is as
true to life as il the picture had been
posed for. And anyone casually pick
ing up the book will agree with the
teller Of the story that You nacherally
ain't as acootey aware OF the fact as l
be. but you can gamble bloc stack
that not KNOWN Col. Sterette borders on
deprivation"
There has always been an interest in
books relating to the frontier. There
were writer's before the 70's whose capt.
tai was drawn from such a source. Then
Bret Harte came upon the scene with
vivid reproduction Of character in the
sos, followed by Mark Twain some ten
years later. But 1t remained for Mr.
Lewis to describe the last stand Of the
Frontier,-a little strip of wild life re-
naming pinched between the clivization
of the "effete East and the Pacific Slope.
And he has done his work thoroughly.
The book contains about $40 pages. and
it is safe to say there are easily 5000
laughs and nearly as many grins to be
found therein.
