"All history repeats itself," A proverb claims, I've heard, But when in class I'm called upon It never says a word.—Ex.
Puer et Puella, Ambulant together, Magna sub umbrella, Vocant de the weather.
Very slippery via,
Pedes slide from under,
Puer now upholds her,
Lightning and thunder.
Cadit on the ground Sees a lot of stellae, Adolescens hastens To aid his Puella.
"Rustice!" exclamat Relidque me a lone, Numquam dice mihi 'Till you for this atone.
Non diutius do they
Ambulant together,
Numquam speak as they pass by
Non etiam de the weather.—Ex
LIBRARY.
A number of books have lately been added to the department of American Literature. Among these we shall mention first Lowell's Last Poems, selected and published by Prof. Charles Eliot Norton. In reviewing this book the London Athenaeum has to say, "Lowell was never, in any proper sense of the term, a first-rate, or even a second-rate poet," and, "That he should ever have seemed to the American critic or the American public a poet of national importance is, perhaps, the severest criticism on itself that the American nation has ever made." Notwithstanding these severe words, we are sure our students will be interested in these poems, the last from the pen of our admired poet. It is a very pretty volume, with its broad margin, rough edges and bright red buckram binding. The gilt design on the front cover is the work of a Boston artist, Mrs. Henry Whitman.
We should mention also the Poetical Works of Edward Clarence Stedman and Select Poems of Sidney Lanier as among recent acquisitions.
To the ten volumes of Thoreau's works already on our shelves has been added Autumn, uniform with the rest in size and binding. We have also just received a little volume of poems from the "poet naturalist's" pen.
Another book which we are pleased to mention in this list is Mr. Richard Watson Gilder's Five Books of Song, a collection of his poems in one volume. It also is an attractive book mechanically, prettily bound and pictorially decorated. "H. de K," who is given credit for the decorations, is the poet's wife.
Riverby is the last addition to the Riverside edition of the works of Mr. John Burroughs, making a set of nine volumes. We notice that the works of this author are soon to be issued in England by Messrs. J. M. Dent & Co. It will be a handsome edition, containing several portraits of the author, etched title pages and printed from new type on paper made expressly for this edition.
