...three serials. "A Marsh Island," "Prophet of the Great Smoky Mountains," and the "Country Gentleman" all increase in interest. Among the articles of a more solid nature are an account of the revival of interest in antique sculpture after the neglect of the Dark Ages, by William Shields Liscomb, under the title of "The Quest for the Grail of Ancient Art;" a second paper of Madame Mohl's Salon; and an article on "Vernon Lee," by Harriet W. Preston. Dr. Holmes's charming papers are continued. Bradford Torrey contributes a pleasant paper on "Winter Birds about Boston." "A Sheaf...
...chances of our winning the race with Yale depend upon two variables,-the members of the crew, and the Athletic and Advisory Committees. As to the first we have no fear; as to the second-well, as we do not wish to risk our reputation as a prophet we had better be silent.

It was obvious that my poor uncomplaining old friend was really very miserable. The "thornless loto trees" were all thorny to him, and the "tal'h trees with piles of fruit, the outspread shade, and water outpoured" could not comfort him in his really very natural shyness. A happy thought occurred...
...first given to the venerated man whom we commemorate this day, first to strike the key note in the character of this people ; first to perceive with a prophet's foresight and to promote with a princely liberality, considering his means, that connection between private munificence and public education, which, well understood and pursued by others, has given to New England no small portion of her name and praise." Previous to 1765 America can hardly be said to have had either a national life or a national literature ; therefore she has neither great statesmen, theologians nor scholars. But among such...
