Lays and Lyrics.

Mr.. Thomas E. Smiley, who has been a
contributor of verse TO the indianapolis
press for some years, has collected his
productions into a volume bearing the
above title. Mr.. Smleys muse is a cheer
full one. His themes are many OF them
suggested by the scenes and happenings of
everyday life and though not all such
happenings are glad. he deals with them
all in a sane and wholesome way and with
none Of the morbidness or melancholy that
marks so much of the current verse. Even
when he touches greater depths, as when
he writes OF war, he does not indulge in
gloomy thoughts. He finds in nature much
inspiration. but not a few Of the poems
in the volume were suggested by special
occasion, as Galveston, The Liberty
a Soul has a soundness of sentiment that
a certain famous poem whose title IL sug-
gests lacks. Religious sentiment is strong
also. 1t speaks in these lines from the
verses ION Art:
THE builder. striving to unite both use
And beauty. finds in Nature precious
clewS,
That. followed. guide his art. and if he
Them, then is Art the loser; for abuse
Degrades; let him scorn baseness and re-
fuse
To act ignobly-make the sky inlaid
With stars his dome, forest his colonnade.
Mountains his spires. Nature herself his
muse:
SO nourished, greatness greater growth al
lows,
Till man in miniature shall reflect
Him unto whom In reverence genius bows.
The Master-buiider, worthy of respect.
Gods universe is but a greater house,
And Diety a nobler architect"
In addition to the verses of the char
acter indicated are number of transla-
tons from the Odes OF Horace. Altogether
Mr. Smiley has produced a volume IN which
is expressed much earnest thought and
high sentiment-a work creditable alike 10
his head and heart.
The book is attractvely printed and con-
tains several illustrations, among them an
excellent portrait of the author.

Insist on being understood" was the
maxim Of great teacher, and should be
the supreme rule in presenting the ele-
ments Of any subject. 1t seems to have
been the dominant idea in the preparation
of "A Latin Grammar for Schools" by
Professor West Of Princeton University.
The book is admirably arranged and in a
clear and explicit style without superfiuous
detail gives as much grammar as is serv-
iceable in the school study of Latin. AS an
up-to-date book il is appropriately pub
lished in the Appleton's Twentieth Century
