A Good Mnrd for a Poet.

A poet comes to US now and then. We
mean a real poet who has the stuff and
who throws the form about with the care
lessness indicative OF what he thinks Of II.
In Pebbles and Pearls; a Collection of
Poems in Patches, by Cleland kernestahe
broadway Publishing Company, we have
found abundant matter qualified 70 make
us sit up We read at page 1888
The wind comes soft As n maids csress when nrst
she trusts her lover
And sweet is It's breath as the lips press-or the
charms blind hands discover.
The hooking bird on tho roof tree sings, and the
sea In the sunlight glistens
Ny soul stands iranced. with MS folded wings, and
my glad heart looks and listens
She comes she comes with the April bud. with the
sunlight and the glamour
She comes she comes and II thrills my blood. tho
nay lips can only stammer.
She comes she comesl thus the mock bird flutes
the naples red spray rocking;
But, slasl Hopes flowers bear fruits, and the
false bird Is bu, hooking.
More definite and more perilous are GER
tain lines that we have marked at page So.
We call attention to the earnestness rather
than to the unquestionable good sense Of the
poet's idea
The Blood OF the Vine brings Va hllsses. friendly
hres that warm us, not burn
Ru, Cupid who covets all kisses from unlessoned
lips quick 10 learn
Enkludles name that soon scorchcs the willing
wings eager to soar;
Safer far are the nlckcTng torches the Furies may
bring 20 your door
Glad Reveller. believe me, these "toddies- and
the wine cup In spite OF It's lees
VIII drive you less daft than the bodles-uubod-
ccd-of the Sirens you squeeze
Press the "grapes" and their "a sweet and sunny
shall tighten tho burdens You bear.
Press the girls" and nor mercy nor money shall
rescue your soul from he snare.
We are unable TO approve utterly either
the sentiment or the mechanical form; but
we must say that we have been mpressed
by the wit and the overfowing spirit OF
these crowded and daring verses. Not
often has book Of poems entertained us
more.

No republic OF South A merica has been

-The Opal an anonymous contribution
to the spring publications Of Houghton,
Mfflin d Co, is an entertaining study in
character contrasts between two women
who are classified by the man who loves
them both-the one as a thousand women
in one the other as one woman in a thousand.
The Opal Ia beautiful young girl. an
iridescent product OF up to date social
training, a scintillating reflection Of the
complex influences about her, but abso-
lutely lacking in individuality, sincerity
and the power of resistance All natural
impulses crushed in the artificial training
the girl becomes all things to all men, and
women. as well, through the power OF
suggestion and the dominance Of stronger
wills than her own The foil and contrast
to this opalescent automaton is the plain
woman OF rare strength Of character
clearness OF vision and integrity OF moral
ideals, the austerity of whose equipment
is softened by keen sense Of humor and
sincerity OF sympathy. The man in the
case is the ordinary human. lovable type
who needs the devotion Of good woman
to steady him as much as the tight rope
dancer needs his balance pole. Naturally,
the beautiful woman wins him, deserts him
for former lover, and this brings him to
the realizing conviction that it was the
plain woman he loved and desired all the
time. But the plain woman has certain
obstinate prejudices against the marriage
Of divorced people in general, and her
own moral obligations in this particular
case. which hold fast despite her great love
for the man. And then the story ends,
lea wing the reader with the impression that
he has been looking on a a little bit of the
real Human drama in which the characters
have been thoroughly well bred, and well
hammered. in which the dialogue has been
sparkling and entertaining, but in which
nothing in particular has been accom-
pished save the passing Of an hour in a
thoroughly enjoyable manner.
The book Il light and bright. but under
cover OF it's humorous persifage manages
to give some sharp thrlsts at certain typical
conditions Of modern society which are as
well aimed as we'll deserved. and the picture
Of high life in aristocratio Back Bay circles
Is so well presented as TO deserve the added
interest Of the authors signature.

enthusiastic eulogist, Mr. Norman Duncan
Or Grenfelps book. though put in the
form Of a story, or IA thcr of two stories 10
avoid the obtrisou OF the personal ele-
ment, is simple. direct with sll the literary
charm Of tales about things seen AT first
hand. For the greater part It relates the
life Of the North Sea fishermen on the now
famous DogRer bank; the cruel appren-
tceship. the bitter life, the gallant deeds
OF courage and of seamanship. the evils
OF drink, the work Of the deep sea mission.
These are real sea tales that will appeal
TO every one who cares for salt water and
are told admirably The last part of the
book describes conditions on the New
foundland and Labrador coasts, the desc
late life, and the call for medical aid About
the other many demands on his energies DR.
Grenfell has little to say His book is pre-
sentation Of sorrows that are being fought
against while the man who is doing the
work is wholly effaced.
This is more than made up for by Mr..
Norman Duncan. though the reader will
probably excuse his excess Of enthusiasm.
He tells wildly and picturesquely many
of the things done by DR.. Grenfell and his
associates Several Of his chapters first
appeared as maya zine articles and to these
is now appended some laudation of the
Doctor. They have distinct literary
tone that does not ring as true as Dr.. Cen
fells own. We should like 10 hear some
thing Of the pleasanter side Of life in Labra
dor. that enables men to live on the coast
and TO stay there. Nobody who read
Mr.. Duncans Doctor Luke" could ina CINE
that he intended to describe DR. Grenfel,
but the statement has been so spread in
literary gossip that It was perhaps neces-
sary for the author of the book to deny it
explicitly in this later volume.
II is splendid, heroic work that Dr. Gren-
fell and his fellows are doing as mission
aries of humanity and civilization in a
field that Is painfully near home.

DELAY IN PATRICK CASE.
PoStp0nement to GiUe Counsel Time
to Prepare Nez0 Evidence.
- rELEGRAPH "a - rRIRUNE.l

Albany, Feb 24.-To afford his counsel time
to prepare new evidence, based on recent medi-
co-legal investigation, the Court Of Appeals to-
day granted a postponement in the case Of Al
bert T. Patrick. the New-York lawyer, now
under sentence of death for the murder Of Will
lam N. Rice. Patricks appeal had been fixed
for argument next Wednesday, but to-day,
after q private hearing, attended only by the
judges and counsel, the court postponed it until
March Il.
Patrick was represented by ex-senator David
B. HILL while Assistant District Attorney How
ard Cans and ex-Justice LandOn, of Schenec-
tady, appeared for the people. The new evl-
dence to Patrick is the recent discovery OF the
AIedico-LegaI Society that the ernbalming proc
ess leaves the lungs in a Congested condition,
similar to that caused by chIoroform by which,
it is alleged, Patrick caused Rice's death.
Tt is two years since Patrick was con-
victed, and the final argument in his case has
been expected for a long time. Briefs were
fled with the Court Of Appeals last summer.
At that time the political activity of Mr.. Hill
was generally assigned as the reason for the
delay. Recently, however. Mr.. Hin said that
the long preparation caused by the extraor-
binary mass of evidence being made ready by
both Sides and especially the color engraving
