...poetry makes up for the deficiency in quantity by excellence in quality. Mr. Houghton's "Ballad of April Days," reprinted from Mr. Adam's "April," is not equal in execution to former work of the author, but in subject is particularly pleasant, and in conception is really charming. But the sonnet by Mr. Santayana, which treats of faith, must be regarded as one of the most attractive, perhaps the most attractive feature of the April Monthly.

Yesterday one of our prominent professors called attention to a scurrilous article in a Boston paper, a distortion of a little class incident, a pleasant one in itself, which occurred early in the week. Every man present who knew the circumstances heartily sympathized with the professor, and had a word of disgust for the man who would, evidently from motives of petty spite or to get a few dollars for "news," lend himself to such...
