A LIFTED CUP.

Some there be with coffers filled With wealth of gold to overflow; Some have jewels rich and rare
 h settings intricate and fair; To some ,ife's wine flows full and free Of vintage fine and rich bouquet; Some have leagues of land that lie
 In rolling wealth beneath the eye; But as for me, there is a cup
 Which overhoweth. lifted up. "A beaded cup from rim to rim,
 A sparkling cup of life a-brim With juices from my past out-pres't Of such delicious taste it is Of such exquisite fragrance fine
 And fair as soul of any wine; Its hue so golden, glorious, So rich, so ripe, so rare below Its beaded rim, victorious Above all human speech to tell, The wonders of it's potent spell. There father pride and mother love, There love hath lent it's lang rous kiss And passion pres't it's purple flood; There marvel of young motherhood And kisses softly laid upon The faces of beloved dead All these a lambent light have shed Within my cup for aye to dwell There sacredness of sympathy And sweet communion heart to heart, All these have in my cup their place
 and part. An, mel This cup of memory. What solace in its sweet content! Each moment of my life hath lent Its tiny drop and in the whole
 Is place and comfort for my soul Let others count their riches o'er- And strive and strain that they be
 more; But as for me a quiet spot
 With all the world outside forgot, And in my hand my lifted cup
 With memry's wine that brimmeth up.

 The author has pictured the humorous side of the negro and draws from life the types that are at once familiar Without setting herself to any arduous task, without any attempt to present the negro in the pathetic and picturesque role that has been so overdone by others Miss Hobson has succeeded in picturing the real thing
 Just at this time when the northern press never tires of discussing the negro and the southern press seldom loses an opportunity for timely rejoinder, a book presenting the negro with slmplici- ty and as unpretentiously as Miss Hob son has done, is both refreshing and de- 1ightful.

 POEM OF EXCEPTIONAL BEAUTY

Of women who have set the world to music ana put in motion the vibrant chords in the human heart who are able 10 awaken forgotten memories and move their readers from sadness to tears, Julia Nicely Finch belongs in this class It was Lamartine who said that he who knows how to touch the heart knows all. It is impossible to strike hard upon the heart without bringing out tears so full of sadness of human nature at the core, and so easily does that which affects it force the dregs to our lips and the mist to our eyes.
 Mrs. Finch's exquisite poems have fre- quently appeared in the Age-Herald and in the leading papers throughout the south. It is doubtful, however, in all the wide range of her poetic fancy if she has ever written anything more beautiful than the following poem, enti-
