...number and are very happily conceived. "Jerusha Howe," spinster, is a good story, and stands in interesting contrast with "Roses and Cypress" in the last Advocate by the same author. In both stories the light coquetry and vanity of a pretty young girl brings on the death of her lover. This motive, always a fascinating one, is as well brought out in the hills up here in our bleak New England during the Revolution as it was in the warm sun of the Riviera. A bright poem entitled "Letters" follows this, and tells a world of woe in a very...
...usual course of regular gymnastic training. But no comment is too harsh to represent the ordinary estimate of foot-ball. It is "brutal," it is "ungentlemanly," it is "closely allied to the manners of the prize ring," it is "barbaric," it is "dangerous;" and no representation of friend or lover is strong enough to do away with the rudeness of impression which a first sight of its tremendous activity conveys to the unused intelligence of one beholding it for the first time...

"In the volume published ten years ago are the early poems of some men who have already won a large and enviable reputation, of which that book contains the authentic prophecy. Like prophecy will be found in the volume now given...
There is cause for great congratulation that the College Base-ball League has been formed. The movement for an improvement in college base-ball has been favored by us from the first and our opinion was but one in many. Every lover of the national game must read the account published on our first page to-day with satisfaction and delight. Hereafter there will be no doubt about the best nine in the League. Four games with each club will settle the superiority, if there is any to be settled. Our friends in New York will not be able...
