 month as formerly. 



LITERARY ITEMS, 



Bitter-Saveet. 



" Oh, love, you have cursed ray life," he 

 said, 

 " Because I have listened to you, 

 The heart of me at your feet lies dead 



Where your arrow has pierced it through. 

 I leave you my broken heart, faith, and 



home, 

 I go to a land where you cannot come." 



He journeyed far to the "sundown" land, 

 Close wrapped in his cloak of despair; 



He wandered along the wave drenched sand, 

 And, behold, little Love was there ! 



The arrow that wounded him cured his pain, 



And faith, hope, and happiness lived again. 

 Rose Hartwick Thorpe. 



— From Demoresest's Magaziee for July 



too many books. 

 A friend of ours who had some 

 talent and had done some good things 

 took his verses to a publisher, who 

 agreed to bring them out in book 

 form at the authors expense. " How 

 many copies do you want ?" he asked. 

 " About fifteen hundred, I suppose." 

 " Better say a hundred and fifty, for 

 unless you give them away you will 

 get most of them back. When not 

 backed by a known name, poetry is a 

 drug in the market." And so is most 

 prose, too. — " Talks with the Trade," in 

 July Lippincottfs.

 tiful in illustration and brilliant in

 1894 with many illustrations of the 

 artists and their work. The serial is

 by Leon Mead, and Frederick W.

 his father in Seward's West India 

 Cruise. All these are profusely illus- 

 trated. The short stories are by John 

 Habberton, Rose Hawthorn Lathrop, 

 Edgar Fawcett, Albert Hardy, Julia

 Edward Miller a sketch and the poems

 appearing this month under the tak- 

 ing title of The Passing Show.
