Agnes Repplier's article, "The Cavalier," is a plea for the dashing cavalier who fought for the King against the roundhead Puritan. "Po' Sandy" is a story in the negro dialect by C. W. Chestnut. Following this comes an interesting account of the American Philosophical Society by Annie H. Wharton. "Cicero in the Senate," by H. W. Preston, is so carefully prepared that it might well serve as a short history of the great orator. Herbert Tuttle gives us an account of the Emperor William. The student of fine arts will be interested in reading "Mr. Ruskin's Early Years...
...Incident of the West" is as pathetic a story as has appeared in the Advocate for sometime. The story is very naturally told and the dialect with one or two exceptions is consistently carried out. "Dogtown" is a story of much the same style. It is doubtful whether it is well to have two articles of this kind in the same number. The story is well written, but lacks originality. A short poem, "Guidance," is a very pretty bit of verse. It is not an ambitious attempt, and perhaps the more successful for that reason. It is simple in thought...
...Advocate appeared yesterday, and is fully equal to the first issue. The editorials are written in a manly, determined spirit, and treat the subjects of which they speak in a manner that evinces careful thought and deliberation. The merits of "Retrospect" are confined to the orthography of the dialect, and the poem can lay little claim to literary beauty. Quite different from this is "Acheron," a pretty simile in graceful, poetic language. The writer of "Ce Qu 'On Dit Et La Verite" shows considerable imagination and writes in a lively, entertaining style, which would be none the worse...
...number of the "Atlantic Monthly" contains a more than usual amount of good reading matter, which is saved from making the number heavy by the variety of subjects treated. The number opens with a dialect story of country life by Sarah Orne Jewett. Thomas Bailey Aldrich's poem upon Napoleon III., entitled "The Last Caesar," a reverie in the Tuileries gardens, is one of the strongest of his later productions. Mr. William Chauncey Langdon contributes a sketch of Marco Minghetti, the lately deceased Italian patriot. Clinton Scollard's poem, "The Maenads" is carefully written, but does not have the spontaneity...
Oliver Goldsmith's works are great favorites with native readers in India. Thus the loves of Edwin and Angelina have been rendered into Urdu as Ekantbase yogi, or "The Lonely Hermit," while "She Stoops to Conquer" is translated into the same dialect as "The Story of Beauty Unveiled...
