The Daily Review Towanda, Pa., Friday, Dec, 30, 1881. EI10R9 <3. W. ALVOKD. NOBLE N. ALVOIID <<gfmilif Ijevietr" enty 25 cent* per Try its Flowers of Spring. Thoughts of childhood nil I of youth struggle to the light out of n chrysalis condition in which they arc born. The "outer-clothen" situation ot the germ is in the lirst surroundings of its life—in blood and breeding, contact, and educa tion. Its growth is nourished through all the tender susceptibilities to early Im pressions, traces of which every man and woman carries to his or her dying day. The inference is not strained that as sumes the iifter-math must be in that retrospective impulse which turns the soul's musings back from old age to d reams and scenes of early life, old men are praisers of times past —with Horace, laudator temporis acti , and Maro chanted the pleasures of the remembrance of things long past in luce olim meminisse ju. vabii. It is one of most exquisite touches that sends oil lalstatl with Dame Quickly's description oi the poor knight's death-bed and delirium where 1 n "he aye, babbled of green fields." It was a pretty conceit of our own Stoddard in tne quatrain that de scribes how The children are glad at her coming; When the children are old and gray, There will be more light in their spirits That they danced in her smile to-day. And who has not noted the spirit of the lines in Thackeray's Christmas Carol that puts forth the petition, Pray heaven early love and truth May never wholly pass away! Before us lies a brochure, of pretty verses privately printed, the youthful poet yielding to an instinct peradventure, as did Tope who —lisped in numbers, for the numbers came. Albeit, ( paulo minora canamus ,) ours is a very healthy poet, at all events, that thus thrummed the lyre in early adolescence. Five pieces are there, and done at inter vals In a period of two years. The title of the work is "Verses Written between the Ages of Eleven and Thirteen." Its themes are "Daylight," "My Shepherd," "Creation," an elegy on "Baby May,"— the whole closing with a parody on Long fellow's "Excelsior" done in a humorous vein. The very titles of these shy at tempts to woo the muse evince a healthy development of the mind. It is an abun dant merit that it lies mainly in the bright simplicity of the poetic impulse— a certain sweetness of temper and of feel ing good for anybody, no matter who. If there is no extraodinary precocity or genius here, there is no preternatural gloom, no morbid prophecy of evil lurk ing in the lines. A healthy normal tone is in it all; everything is bright, hopeful, sympathetic, looking from the threshold out upon an unknown world. Saving an occasional skip, the lines run smoothly along, and,as in the yerses on"l)aylight," in a cheery sort of way. There is a kind of inspiration in some parts that brings to mind a certain situation once describ ed in the lines (familiar as they are fa mous) written by a grave, great author after his experiences in a White Squall crossing the British channel: And when its force expended, And the harmless storm was ended, And, as the sunrise splendid Came blushing o'er the sea— I thought as day was breaking, My little ones were waking, And smiling and making A prayer at home for me. However, this is the way the cheerful young neophyte of eleven summers is singing of "Daylight" in the initial piece: After the night has passed away And the s.ars have lost their light, ? uly steals the dawn of day, Sweet and peaceful, calm and bright. ******** Light reminds us of our pleasures, But the clouds of grief and pain For the loss of dearest treasures Which can ne'er return again. But sweeter after care and sorrow Will the joy that follows be; Though now be rain, yet light to-morrow Shall refresh each drooping tree. Certes, smooth enough and good enough for the years that went to make it up. At the age of twelve a strain of pious hopefulness: The Lord is my shepherd; no want shall I know, He leads mo in pastures where bright rivers llow; Whenever 1 wander from Jesus astray My soul he restores to the heavenly way. Of "Creation" the lines run in this wise: Behold the blossoms fair to see, The mountains, hills and trees, E'en Soloman, though great was he, Was not arrayed like these. Then, if God so adorns the grass, And makes each flower live, Much more to them that trusting ask Will he ids spirit give. * * * >{< * * * If we would like the flowers he, In heaven so pure and fair, Our souls must shine with charity, And shrink from every snare. When we are like the lillies grown, And dressed in spotless wh'te, The Lord will bring us one by one To realms of cndles • light. We are not quite sure but that these lines will compare favorably with flmany of those in the primative editions of Dr. Watts*. At any rate they are as pure in sentiment, as pretty in their simplicity, as strong in devotion, and not less com mon-place iu thought. One tiling is certain, tlie writer of these simple verses will never br—need never be—ashamed of having written them. They are redolent of refined home culture in mind and morals, and perhaps, it is this feature of the whole matter which most deserves mention and justi fies remark—the licec fabitht clocet of it all.
