BEDSIDE POETRY.

Edited by Wendell P. Garrison. 16mo, plain cloth, .75; fancy cloth,

1.00.

This collection is for the home, and for a particular season. “Few

fathers and mothers,” says Mr. Garrison, “appreciate the peculiar value

of the bedtime hour for confirming filial and parental affection, and

for conveying reproof to ears never so attentive or resistless. Words

said then sink deep, and the reading of poetry of a high moral tone

and, at the same time, of an attractive character, is apt to plant seed

which will bear good fruit in the future.”

“There is seldom a compilation of verse at once so wisely limited and

so well extended, so choice in character and so fine in quality as

Bedside Poetry, edited by Wendell P. Garrison. He has chosen four-score

pieces ‘of a rather high order, the remembrance of which will be a joy

forever and a potent factor in the formation not merely of character

but of literary taste.’ Therefore he has given Emerson and Cowper,

Wordsworth, Leigh Hunt, Shelley, Southey, Coleridge, William Blake,

Burns, Thackeray, Lowell, Tennyson, Shakespeare, Mrs. Hemans, Mrs.

Kemble, Holmes, Whittier and Arthur Hugh Clough. We find cheer and

courage, truth and fortitude, purity and humor, and all the great

positive virtues, put convincingly in these selections.”—_Springfield
