[ocr errors][merged small]

Some hearts there are that see afar
The goal towards which they wend;
Some souls have sight to mark the light
That shows the journey's end:
But some must still strive to fulfill
What each day sets before,
Content to find there waits behind,
Each task a duty more.

And who shall say that knows the way,
That those who travel slow,
May not win much that passes such
As see where they shall go?
Perhaps there lies another prize
That may outshine this star;
And he who waits may know the Fates,
And see them as they are.

DREAMS.

Here is something well adapted to please a student. It is stated to be designed "for use in preparatory schools and junior forms; and to cover the writings of the authors generally read in earlier Latin work, of whom the title page specifies eleven, including Cicero. Though the vocabulary seems on looking into it to be ample to meet all needs of school students, the compiler, Rev. G. H. Nall, M.A., speaks in the preface of a "reduction in the quantity of matter" as making possible exceptionally large and clear Leave me my dreams.

The typography and the arrangement of definitions seem most satisfactory. An appendix gives a short statement of the Roman money and calendar. The binding is neat and serviceable, but would probably be more convenient if rougher in surface, so as to afford more friction when held in the hand. [The Macmillan Co.]

POETRY.

The Promise of Morning.

We cannot get very far away from ourselves in these poems by Henry Coyle, because the author's strong and somewhat didactic moralizing brings us back with an elastic jerk at the end of each last verse. The book contains nearly a hundred and fifty poems, all of them earnest, sincere, full of religious significance, and will probably bring pleasure and comfort to a great many people. [Angel Guardian Press, Boston.]

Harvard Lyrics.

Vain hours with striving for what shall not be.
Theirs, love- and tears, and life-and sometimes sleep;
My dreams for me.

Leave me my dreams. The rest of shadowy hills,
The lull of winds, the warmth that floods and fills
The scented silence of the noontide bowers,
The rippling symphony of birds and rills,
In sunlit hours.

Leave me my dreams. Warm lips that grow not cold,
Soft eyes unaging, hair of fadeless gold,
Strong love unchanging with the altering years,
Made sweet with myriad kisses many-fold,
Unwet with tears.

Leave me my dreams. High lives and hopes unslain,
A little fruit unruined of the rain,

A little love to brighten hours that be,
And blind the aching, passionate eyes of pain.
My dreams for me.

For those who have a personal interest in Fair Harvard, the book will of course have its greatest pleasure, but students of American verse will find it interesting for its hints of the standard and spirit with which some of our young men begin their literary work. [Brown & Co. $.125.]

RELIGIOUS.

been felt from the first century until now? It "resides in the twofold fact that Christianity is true, and is felt to be true. . . . The reality that we have in Christ is worthy to be profoundly felt, and the sense of such reality as this ought to be sufficient to move the world. When it was anything like adequate, it has moved the world." The lecturer's aim throughout is to simplify the claims of Christianity, and in so doing to recommend it to those who, for one reason and another, have thought a full acceptance of it to be difficult, if not impossible. Sweetness, a quiet confidence born of faith and reflection, and a deep appreciation of the perplexities of honest doubt, are the leading characteristics of this little book. [Charles Scribner's Sons. $1.00.]

John and His Friends.

These sermons of the "Revival" order were delivered last January in the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Cleveland, Ohio, by the Rev. Louis Albert Bangs, its pastor. They have many of the characteristics of the popular sermon, being short, to the point, earnest and urgent in tone, and enlivened by many apt illustrations and anecdotes. The attractive quality of these discourses is indicated by their titles, of which we quote a few by way of example: "The Bright Heart of the Universe," "Light, Fellowship, and Purity," "The Testimony of the Divine Guest," "A Love Stronger than Life," "Love's Easy Harness," "The Hidden Manna, the White Stone, and the New Name." [Funk & Wagnalls., $1.50.]

Yesterday Framed in Today.

One Hundred Mushroom Receipts. This is a fine little book for brave readers and eaters. We believe however that the mushroom scare is abating. There was a time, though, not so long distant, when your mushroom enthu

I will come tomorrow." We understand that there is no other cook-book devoted exclusively to this delicacy, so we wish good luck to this appetizing pioneer. [Charles Orr. 5oc.]

Lettres d'un Innocent.

Very few people realize the need of study in this particular line, but Mr. Waugh's book will surely start them on a right course. A good condensation of much material brings the book to a very compact and convenient size. [Orange Judd Co., New York. 50c.]

man.

No one will enjoy reading the book, but some, at least, will find its personalities absorbing. L. G. Moreau has made the translation, and Mr. Walter Littlefield has contributed a short history of the entire Dreyfus case. [Harper & Bros. $1.00.]

How to Swim.

Learning to swim out of a book seems a rather incongruous thing to do, but the enter prising and gallant Capt. Davis Dalton, champion long-distance swimmer of the world, has done his best in this little book to make the incongruous possible. When we remember that the author swam the English channel, spending twenty-three and one-half hours in the water, and has saved two hundred and eighty-one people from drowning, and has received one hundred and sixty-nine medals, why! then we are perfectly confident that he, if anyone, can teach us to swim out of a book. We admit, however, that at first we pictured ourselves floundering helplessly in the ocean with this book clutched frantically in one hand, and our straining eyes seeking desperately the page and paragraph that should tell us what to do next, or even how to resuscitate the drowned. Seriously though, the volume is full of information and gives the minutest details as to the acquirement of confidence, the different kinds of strokes, fancy swimming, how to save life, and even how to undress in the water, in case of sudden capsizing. Chief among the interesting suggestions are those on "Public Education in Swimming." The book is thor oughly interesting and should be of much practical value to those who have already passed the first stages of their swimming experience. [G. P. Putnam's Sons. $1.00.]

Landscape Gardening.

Landscape gardening is eminently a fine art." With such a sentence Prof. F. A. Waugh, of the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, opens his little treatise on Landscape Gardening. Following such a standard, he explains the fundamental principles of gardening.

Phelps.

Harper's Magazine for August is made up largely of excellent short stories, and among their writers are Seumas MacManus, Mary E. Wilkins, Stephen Crane, Frederic Remington, and Thomas A. Janvier. "The Princess Xenia" and "Their Wedding Journey" are continued, and to furnish more serious matter we find "The Filipino Insurrection of 1896," by Lieut. Carlos Calkins, "The Taiping Rebellion," by Rear Admiral Beardslee, and "The Pursuit and Capture of Streight's Raiders," by Dr. John A. Wyeth. Two poems made additionally striking by their illustrations are Bliss Carman's "The Last Room" and "The Body to the Soul," by Ellen M. H. Gates.

The fiction number of Scribner's comes gaily dressed in a most attractive cover. Richard Harding Davis contributes a clever story called "The Lion and the Unicorn." Henry van Dyke writes in his own inimitable style of "Vaillant cœur," and this romance has some of the most striking illustrations we have ever seen, wonderfully vigorous work, by Walter Appleton Clark. There are four other short stories of unusual interest and attraction, one of them with colored illustrations that are refreshingly novel. To give weight to the fiction we find such articles as "Japanese Flower Ar rangement," "Daniel Webster," and "The Letters of Robert Louis Stevenson."

"Are Jews Jews?" is the challenging title of an interesting argument in Appleton's Popular Science Monthly. "Public Charity and Private Vigilance," by Prof. F. H. Giddings; and "Race Questions in the Philippine Islands," by Ferdinand Blumentritte, will be two of the most popular articles. Harriet A. Townsend writes most sympathetically of "Phases of Practical Philanthropy," and there are a large number of interesting and authoritative opinions of matters of universal interest.

The August Cassell's has five complete short stories, two serials, and a large amount of other interesting matter. "A Chat with Mr. and Mrs. | George Alexander,” “London Night by Night," "The Art of Manufacturing Landscapes," and "Where Gunpowder is Made" are a few of the attractions.

The Quiver is always interesting and full of English atmosphere. The present issue includes

an article on "Jane Austen's Private Life," "Weather Wisdom of the Bible," "Great Anniversaries in July," several good stories, and much else to help make August pleasant.

One of the most interesting contributions to the Forum is Mr. Lawrence J. Burpee's paper "Recent Canadian Fiction." Within a few pages Mr. Burpee gives a resumé of Canadian novelists and their works and reminds us how much of genuine merit has come to us from across the border. He is himself a Canadian, a nephew of the late James De Mille of Dalhousie College, who wrote a number of tales, and this article is a foretaste of the literary history of Canada on which he is engaged.

The North American Review for August deals with numerous and diverse subjects. Some of the most important events and movements of the time are discussed, and at the same time there are several articles on literary, dramatic, artistic and athletic themes. The Countess of Aberdeen gives an account of the work accomplished by the Woman's International Parliament, and explains the objects aimed at by the Confederation of National Councils of Women; while Kassandra Vivaria, writing from the point of view of a disinterested spectator, criticizes the proceedings and deplores the tendency to regard the work of women as being independent of and even hostile to the work of men. Mr. John Barrett, formerly American Minister to Siam, shows that the United States is destined to be "The Paramount Power of the Pacific;" and other political articles are "Constitutional Conflict in Finland,” and “Anti-Trust Legislation," as recently enacted in Texas. Mr. G. Bernard Shaw comments on the absurdities of "The Censorship of the Stage in England,” maintaining that it has done immeasurable injury to the drama in Great Britain and the United States; and Yetta Blaze de Bury tells of "Girls' Novels in France," of those who write them, and of the lessons they are intended to convey. Among the other contributors are Max O'Rell and Elizabeth Robins Pennell.

NEWS AND NOTES.

-Josiah Flynt, the young American who has made a special study of the tramp question, has gathered together his numerous contributions to the magazines and made a book of them. Tramping with Tramps, as he calls the volume, will appear in the autumn from the Century Co., with an introductory note by Dr. Andrew D. White, Ambassador to Germany, who speaks of the work as one of great importance and fascinating interest. Mr. Flynt has lived for many months among the tramps at home and abroad, and knows them intimately. His work will be illustrated. The same firm will issue in October a volume of nautical tales, in which "Where Angels Fear to Tread "is the title of the leading story. Morgan Robertson, the author, is a young writer whose work has been promptly welcomed by the leading magazines. One of these stories, "Salvage," will appear in the September Century; others are familiar to the readers of Harper's, The Atlantic, McClure's, etc. Mr. Robertson has spent ten years before the mast, which accounts for his intimate knowledge of ships and sailors; how he acquired his skill as a story-teller is another question and more difficult to answer.

Encouraged by the success of the "Temple Shakespeare" in single plays, which has reached the aggregate sale of one million volumes, the Macmillan Company have, in response to frequent requests, decided to issue it again in a form more suitable for the library and in a larger type, to be completed in twelve octavo volumes. This new form will give them an opportunity of carrying out a long-desired wish to illustrate the notes and illuminate the obsolete allusions in the text by illustrations from old and contemporary documents and various other antiquarian sources. It will be remembered that a large store of such valuable illustrations to the text were accumulated by Halliwell Philips and others, and the publishers also hope to make further research and so add to the real usefulness, as well as the embellishment of the edition. It will also give Mr. Gollancz an oppor-kiel's Sin, by J. H.

The plan of the edition will be broadly that of the Temple Shakespeare. Each Play will have its own apparatus complete in itself, the book being printed with red rubrics, in order to indicate both scene and act just as in the smaller edition.
