■•THOUGHTS BY THE WAY," A BOOK OF POEMS, BY SUSIE SffAMAN

(H.BRKTT,EvKNiNaSTAROffIec,Auok]an<I,N'.Z.)

Tbk conditions of colonial life are not fa vourable to the growth of a permanent literature, much less to tho cultivation of Poesy, the shyest of all the Musos. Stern pioneer work in the shape of subduing the earth and conquering tke wayward ele ments leaves little leisure for day-dreams, and but sca»t inclitmtio.n for literary pur- Buitß. As a rule, colonial society does not appreciate the contemplative mood or sympathise with tho sweet melancholy vein of thought which constitute the charms of a section of pootic literature. " Ernst M <'ns Leben," and all outside the sphere of the practical is sweepingiy condemned as useless and lackadaisical. Still there is no lack of cultured^ minds, ears attuned to melody, and souls imbue 1 with tho lovo of all that is lovely ; and though their lot is cast in "a place unmeet," they cannot remain hidden, but over and anon a voice breaks forth — a fount i.« opened — a vision vouchsafed — as if in earnest of ■ the rich stores which the future holds for this beauteous nnd radiant land, 80 well fitted to inspire the loft it* t d reams of the poet and the most glowing fancies of the painter. Music, art, and tho drama have all obtained a firm footing here ; but it is notable that in a country having about 100 newspapers supplying current literature to a scattered population of hnlt-amillion, the belles lettres are almost completely neglected. The growth of centres of m' ture and the gathering together of people of thought and learned leisuro will in time remedy this state of things, when we have no donbt New Zealand will lay the founda tions of a popular, distinctive, and lasting literature.

Possessing no such characteristics, and (timing at no very high mark, the book now before us is nevertheless worthy of more than passing notice, as being tho pro duction of a young lady of tl.i.' city, and embodying the "Thoughts by tho Way" of one who lives and moves in the ustlcss activity of colonial life. Tho authoress, if not quite an adept at the mechanical part of the poetic trade, strikes the lyra with deli cate touch and elicitstonesof truemusic. Her powers are chiefly of the reflective order; consequently, while her narrative poems nave about them an air of constraint, and her descriptive pioces arc diffuse and in definite, her contemplative mood is always expressed with purity and appropriateness of diction and adequato melody. Her mind has also a deep religious cast, and tho most successful of her poems are those dealing with sacred subjects. Many of these are fitted to take their place in modern hymnolegy, tho following, particularly, bo ing possessed of high merit: —" Sabbath Bells," " Evening Hymn," " Ecco Homo," *• Saturday Night Hymn," " Alone, Yet Not Alone," and " What We Look For." As an example of the tender, devotional ■pirit which marks this section of the book, we quoto the following, entitled—"A Thought of Heaven is the best Antidote to Earthly Care " :—

It may be so; yet, though I hold Tho thought of heaven stranguly dear, I dare not think of it too oft, Lest I unfit me for this sphere.

Rapt in a dream of heavenly bliss, I waken with a shivering chill To take Tip, in a world like this, The burden I must carry still.

Mr dazzled eyes fill full of tears When, turning from the golden gate, I realise, for manjnrears My portion still may bo to wait.

Sometimes when tired with earthly cares, I lay me down and close mine eyes; I let my thoughts, like angels, fly To gain a glimpse ol Paradise.

And sometimes He who knows my heart, And how it longs to gain its rest, Sends me a dream, to show me those Eternal mansions of the blest.

But in the heat and glare of day I dare not cherish visions dim, But keep my thoughts upon the way, And try in truth to follow Him. Besides the religious section, there are parts of the book devoted to memorial poems, lyrics, descriptive poems, sonnets, Christmas, New Year, and Easter poems, Some are on local topics—such as "The Parnoll Chimes," "Waiwera," and three having reference to Lake Takapuna—that most picturesque spot on the northern shore of Auckland Harbour. From a de scription of "A Storm at Night," the fol lowing lines are culled to show that Miss Seaman can at times rise to the expression of the deeper emotions: —

"Then sudden through the nightl.lookingeast, Saw from that east to west a vivid streak Of lightning flash. I held my breath for fe&r, And listening heard tho booming thunder roar. Through all the mingled «age of elemonti It rose above, distinct and glorious, Plainly and terribly tho voloe of God."

Here it will be seen the religious sentiment is still active; indeed, it pervades the whole of the book, so that with scarcely one ex- Cjption, the poems might appropriately have all been classed as " Sacred.' In a little lyric, "The Song of Life," the writer; strikes the keynote to the whole of her music, when she says s

" My heart is always singing A sweet though minor strain. Through which there runs a melody Of mingled j 07 and pain. '.' Were life on earth all gladness, The heaven on high would bo Not half so sweet to look to As that we hope to see." And so she sweetly sings "The Ministry of Sorrow," and inculcates the virtue of resig nation to the divide will. Wo do not say that these "Thoughts by the Way" contain poetry of a high order, nor do they attempt any ambitious flight; but we claim that they are pure, healthy, and ennobling thoughts, couched in chaste language, and expressed in smooth and flowing verse. They may be read with profit by all, and. apart from their local interest many of them will be found worthy of being cherished in the memory, as embodying reflections which ■waken sympathetic chords in the bosoms of kindred spirits. The volume ia dedicated to the memory of the late Prince Leopold, in a few tasteful lines. We would add that the book is printed in a style which re flects credit on local typographic art, and consists of 224 pages, neatly bound in stiff cloth boards. We trust thie venture wiß meet with the appreciation it deserves, and that its success may induce other hidden poets to "give the world of their best," thus adding to the general (stock of neflec tive and descriptive literature, and con tributing to the cheering and enlightening of the world at large.

"THE AUSTRALIAN IN AMERICA,"

BY J. L. DOW, M.P,

! (Published at the " Leader " office, Melbourne).

Commiflßioned by the proprietors of the Melbourne "Leader" 1.0 report on tho soil, climate, resources, trade, and general pro gress of the United States, Mr Dow crossed the American continent twice, travelling about 10,000 miles, and visiting the chief cities of the Union, besides making excur sions into country districts; and all this In the space of little over three months. He was keeping his eyes open .meanwhile and jotting do*»n facts, descriptions and impression*?;-and these he communicated Inaßeriesof 42 letters to tho "Loader." The book before us, consisting of nearly 200 pages, is a reproduction of these letter?, with revision and correction, and will bo found to give a vast amount of information regarding the Great Republic. Among the topics to which the writer has given special ' attention we may mention :—lrrigation enterprises, improved ruilway management, labour-saving harvest machinery, Vermont Bheep, cattle raising and transport, silver 1. mining, vine and fruit growing, fruit can (/ nine, patent flour, milling, sugar, tobacco, I ancf hop culture, the bee industry, and dairy factories ; but there is besides con giderable spase devoted to the government, ' social conditions and characteristics of the people. In summing up his impressions the writer says:—"The grandest thing about America is its people." As to climate ft: and natural resources, ho considers that an Australian's opinion of his own country is sure to be enhanced by a visit to America. «'ln Australia the soil is richer, and thoft ■Is more of it rich, while the only part of America that can pqiml tho .^nstralian climate i« California." Mr Dow has done hia task well; there it not n page of slipfhod TVOTk in tho book, mid it dci-eivPK to stand in the front -rank of useful publications.

"THE CRUISE OF THE WAIRARAPA."

; (Published by H.BBETT, Auckland). This, like the last-noticed book, is a reprint cf a series of newspaper articles. The cruise described is a winter excursion to ITijl and other South Sea Islands, projected by the Union Steam Shipping Company of New Zealund, for which the steamer YVai rarapa (" the most beautifully decorated ' steamer in the world," as Archibald Forbes • has celled it) was set apart. These articles j . are written in a popular style, and inter /, aperued with chatty details of the daily life of the excursionists; bufcthey have a value and an interest far übove the ordinary run ■k -of ephemeral productions. The descript ive, ■Skistnrical, and statistical information re-

MSfding Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga is brought down to tho latest date, and may bo de pended upon as thoroughly reliable. Em braced in the book aro intir.'icws with the Hen. J. B. Thurston, Colonial Secretary of Fiji, and Dr Canifius, tho United Slates Consul at Samoa—the former discussing tlio labour question in Fiji, and the talkod-ot annexation to New Zealand ; while tho lat ter treats of a variety of topics of interest in connection with tho government, indus tries, and trado of Samoa. For those un acquainted with the South Sea Islands, and who wish to see a faithful picture of lifo, native and European, in those smiling archipelagoes, or to got a correct idea of the resources and trade of these groups, no better or more concise work than this is available.

PHCEBE'S SPECULATION

It was my first case of importance, and I had taken iton speculation. If I succeeded, it would not only Ijo a feather in ray cap, but a neat ram in my pocket: if I didn t, it would be at the cost of a deal of labour wasted and a round legal drubbing at the hands of Naboth Twyecott, who appeared on the other side. . The fight was long and bitter, but ended in a verdict for my client. It was too lato to put the money in the bank the day the defendant paid it over. However, it was not a bulky roll, being all in thousand-dollar notes ; so I just slipped it into a secret pocket of my coat, where it would be safe till morning. We lived, my wife and I, in a snug little cottage near the city. Wo had been married not quite a year. In fact, it was_ mainly on the strength of my expectations from "the case," which had then reached a point lit which Twyscott was only fighting for'delay, that I had ventured to ask Phcebo Harland to complete our somewhat long standing engagement. I had promised Phtebo so many things out of thocasothatlhad forgotten half of them : but there was little doubt that a strict account of them was laid away in her own memory, and I feared that the sum total would make a largo holo in my share of the spoils. 1 know it was a mean thing, and I can hardly think what put it into my head, for I fully intended to doal squarely by I'luebe, but on the train homeward it Bomchow oc curred to mo that there was no need of hurry in telling her I had got the monoy. It would do as well in a day or two as it ■would now. Pluubo met mo so lovingly, and had such a nico little supper waiting—just the dishes she knew I liked best—and was SO chatty nnd pleasant all the eroning, that I wonder how I kept tho guilty secret, but somehow I did keep it. I was awakoned next morning by a messenger with a telegram summoning mo at oncoto town to draw Mr Banton's will. I hastened to catch tho early train, which I was just in time to do. Mr Banton was a rich retired merchant, whose patronago was not to ba neglected. Instead of finding him in extremis, I ITM not a little surprised at seeing Mr Banton in dressing gown and slippers en joying a hearty breakfast. His illness was imaginary, and, as I afterwards discovered, ho was in tho habit of occasionally fancying himself in a dying state, when in roality nothing was the m\ttor. I de'patshed the business with Mr Banton ua rapidly as possible, and do not think my hurried man ner impressed him favourably. It was not till I had reached my ollieo that I noticed I had on a different coat from that worn tho day before, which, being a little the worse for veaiv Pluebo had strongly objected to my warning of late. More than once she hud threatened to soil it or give it to the ragman. She inu.-t have slipped another in its place the night bet'or., and in the hurry of my morning toilet, t had failed to note the change.

I was a little annoyed when, at a later, hour, my client, Jonas Swirl, called to settlo and get his ghare of the uionev. Ho was a very suspicious person, and when I ox plained the change c f em's mid the absence of.the cash, I fanciod lie looked j.i«t u ti illo distrustful. Still, ho said nothing, and went away promising U> como back to morrow.

I haidly stopped to loiiim Pliwbe'fl ki^s that evening before rnnnfng ii[> to the .closet to look for my old coat. Is wiw not there. I tossed everything u eiddilown, mmmagid all the drawers, searched every liook and peg, but the missing garment v as nowhere visible.

" Phoebe !" I cried, innning down to the dining-room where she was busy preparing tea—"Phcebe! where'* the coit I wore yesterday ?' " That old one!"

" Old or new, where is it!" I demanded. I'm afraid I seemed to speak harshly, but I was only excited. Phoebe looked scared. • I had never ad dressed her so before.

" Forgive me, George," she faltered. •• (Torcrire you for whaW •• I—l—there was a pedlar came along to day, and—rod I exchanged your old coat — you know it wasn't tit towear any longer, dear—for a pair of the loVeliast little flowor vases—l've been waiting for you to notice them, but—but " My looks must have terrified her, for sho burst into tears, sobbing out: "I didn't think you. -would mind it, George." PoorPhcpbe, it was the first time I had made her cry ; and after all I had only my own selfish folly to blame. Why hadn't I told her about-the money ? Taking her to my arms and kissing away her tears:

"Never mind, darling," I sakl : "don't cry about the coat; but do you know which way the pedlar went ?.'.'• - : My kind words reassurwl her. The smile came back to her face, but the question about the pedlar puzzled,her. "I didn't notice which way he went," eha answered ; "but einco you don't mind about the coat, what difference does it make, dear!"

I didn't care toexpluin the mighty differ ence it made; for I saw it would break Phcebe'a heart to know the truth, and could do no good. ~'■ After tea I went ont on some pretext and made such inquiries as I could with prudence; but though I found some who had seen tho pedlar, none could give me any clue to him or whither he had gone. Phoebe was delighted with her Tases ; and of course I had to admire them too, though I confess it would hava afforded ma greater satisfaction to have smashed them over the confounded pedlar's bead. -: I spent a sleepless night, though I managed to keep Pncebe from observing my distress. It would be time enough to vex her with the truth when there would be no other course left.

Making an excuEe for another early start, I got to^toww by the first morning train

I notified the police, and Apoke of adver tising ; but that would never_tlo, the super intendent eaitl. Aa the -money was in a hidden pocket, the only hope lay in finding the coat beforo the presence of the netea was discovered. Whatever search was made must be prosecuted secretly. Giving the best description of the pedlar I had been able to obtain, I went to my office with a heavy heart. What should I.do when Jonas Swirl came for his money ? He would never believe my story, and Heaven only knew what harsh measures he mi<<ht choose to take.

As 1 wit with my hoid" buried in my hands, and elbows resting on my desk, brooding over my troubles, I did not notice a man enter tlie door, to which my back was turned, and was not aware of his pre sence until awakened from my reverie by a gruff—: • • " Want any pens, sir?" '• No !" I answered, without looking up.

"Home ink?—some blotting-paper?— •ome fonp ?—some matches ?—some " Not caring to hear the inventory finished, I turned to request the man to leave. But —1 didn't. He had on my own old coat, more attractive to my eyes just then than the richest royal robo !

"How would you like to sell that coat you have on J" I asked as unconcernedly as possible. The man smiled as one might at what he thought a very poor joke. " Or, maybo you'd exchange it for the one I wear," I added.

" You're hardly in earnest, sir."

" Indued 1 am," I said ; " I fancy the cut of yours, and here's mine—come even up and no higgling I" The coat which I drew off and thrust into his hands was quite new, and worth many times that for which I offered to ex change it, I was evidently taken for a lunatic, but that did not baulk the pedlar's grcud for a good bargain. The barter was completed and (he man hurried off', pre bubly feuring Die return of a lucid interval in which I might seek to cancel the trade. But 1 followed at his heels, keeping him in sight till I had. searched the secret pocket, whero I found the money all safe.■- - - ■ : i h ' '

And I found it just in time too, for before many minutes Jonas Swirl came as hahad promised. Our settlement was soon completed, and each had his own share to do what he would with.

Phcebe was surprised to eee me in my old coat; but when 1 told her all, and saw how white and scared she looked, I was glad that I had waited till there was only good news to tell her.

A Musical Top-Coat.

Amono tlio various cafes of Vionna t!:ere is ono which is particularly notorious as being the hu'.iitual resort of ilio botwjeoixie of the neighbourhood. It is situated in onouf tlio most beautiful parts of the city, and the grounds liave boon laid out in a picturesque manner. Mine host, too, has not only an eyo for the tasteful, but a tongue for the same, and he finds it to his prosit to keep on his promises the best stull to bo ha>l for miles around. Tiio bourgeoisie knowing that the landlord of the establishment keeps such good oheor, pay him tho compliment of their custom, and thus both lilld it to their mutual advantage. Should it happen that tho guest has a desire to play a game of cards, billiards, or chess, ho lias only to step into Fritz's (that is the name of the landlord) large room and find himself a partner. A few weeks ago tho large room was crowded as usual with company. At one tablo sat four gentlemen deeply absorbed in a gamo of cards. One of the quartette, a stout, middle-aged gentleman, and who had about him plenty of that bluster and fire which is so characteristic a foaturo of tho avorago stout gentleman, didn't seem to bo in a happy state of mind. Ho had been losing pretty heavily all along, and tho result of tho last deal was that he hadn't a trump card in his hand. He felt as if lie would like to relievo his mind by kicking some one. Tho gome was being watched with breathless interest by a dozen or more on lookers.

Suddenly tho tranquility of tho scene was broken in upon by tho lively strains of a chorus from n popular opera. Tho sound seemed to come from tho furthest end of tho room.

Fitz from behind his counter looked per plexed. Ho couldn't make it out. The company c:ist searching glancos round the room, in vain endeavouring to discover the whereabouts of tho performer. Tho only povcon in that part of tho room from which tho sounds proceeded was a young man. But ho scorned to bo considerably alarmed, and more ttartled than anyone else in tho room. He was trying to »et his arms into a hugo top-coat, and couldn't make out for tho lifo of him what on earth wa3 the matter.

Ho glanced eagerly in all directions ; tho eyes of tho company wore lixed upon him ; he turned deathly pale, and his logs trembled violently.

Still tho music continued to peal forth, and tho company were more perplexed than over, at least all oxcopt tho stout gentle man. 110 feomed to know something about it. Immediately ho had succeeded in sqnoozing himself through tho circlo of peoplo wlio surrounded tho card-table, he sprang with extraordinary agility to the othor end of tho room, and collared tho un fortunate youth by the collar. "You—you scoundrel!" ho panted; "take that, and that, and that!" and ho apostrophised each "that" with a swing ing clout on the cnr. " Off with that coat, you wretch I" "My dear sir " began the young man. "Eh! what's that! You won't!''

11 Allow mo to—"

But the stout old goutloman wouldn't. Tho livoly opera tune still rattled away, and to its accompaniment ho commenced another series of blows.

Pretty soon, however, the unfortunato young man slipped out of tho coat, and made a precipitous rush in tho direction of fie door, through which heesciped, leaving t!ie article of apparol in the hands of the obe^e one.

As iho latter hold tho coat, out at arm's long.'h, it sermid to strike ovcryone in thu room thnt the music proceeded from the pockets nr somow here of tho coat. The company crowded rsund, and asked for a vi 1 it ion of the musical enigma. It was soon given. The fact was that the top>3odt bel•■njjed to the stout party. U hen he entered tho cafe, hs hung tho coat on n ;< %, ai.d tho young man, Heeuiij that tlio owner was deeply engaged with t.io en;ds, intended to walk off with it

The j_ rentleinan explained that for tfcelast thretorfouryctra ho had been robbed of top coat after topcoat, and at last, driven to :!es[ierat"on, no had conceived the Idea of liiini; a music-box, about iix inches pquara and out; in thickness, in a pockot fitted to tho back of the coat. It was provided with projecting springs which, at the slightoat touch, set tht wheel? in motion, when the instrument at onco began to play nearly as loud as af-mall bnrrol-organ. What a pity it is that some genius thirst ing for fame does not invent a music-box of a somewhat similar kind, which might bo conceded in the folds of our umbrellas. The idea is a good one, and somobody might mnke a fortune out of it.

As tho suggestion has coma from us we hope that inventors will gir« us the first chance of buying their patents, and send particulars of fame to "Tit-Bits" offices, as we believo there is money in it.

Married Mites.

Tub Scotch minuter who officiated at the wedding of Genoral Mite and hts micro scopic companion recently made perhaps tho best excuse possible for tht ceremony which he was conducting, Mind, h« said, was not to be measured by the amount of matter connected with it, 'and, tho require ments of the law being satisfied, it was only right and proper that the Midgets should be religiously married, if they and thoir frionds !>o willed it, and the singularity of the cir cumstance? jhould only render the service tho more impressive. If the impression generally produced by a marriage ceremony is a sensft of the ridiculous, we can easily believe that the occasion was very impros sive. An nniimted atom in n gonoral'? uniform and golil sword, standing upon a tib'o, "and apparently regarding the whole affair as a reception, varied by the presonce of a clergyman," must have presented an appearance highly calculated to move the thoughts of all observers to solemn things. But why a general's, uniform? Mr Francis James Flynn appears in public, as we all know, as General Mito; but in the case.of any other performer, who Insisted upon being married in his stage dress, would we not argue a deliberate intention to bring the religious service into ridicule? Mr Irving acts as " Hamlet;" but what would the world say, for instance, should Mr Irving appear at church in Hamlet's black velvet, with a gold sM-ord ? This circum stance alono, without referring to the many other peculiar incidents and accessories of the "religious ceremony " alluded to, brings the whole affair far too much into the line of " businesn." We can only hope that the union, such as it is, will be a highly re munerative one ; and that the expenses of the " wedding tour on the Continent" will be handsomely paid by sightseeing foreigner?.

Go and Learn a Trade.

[The undernoteil song by a celebrated American vocalist is published for the good it ought to do. It may not be poetry, but it is good sense, and young ladies should learn to sing it for the benefit of the nice young men who aspire to matri mony. Of course if tho young man is a farmer, it is not meant that he should leave that for something else.] I'll sing a song to-night. And every word is true. You'll find that every line is meant, Young gentleman, for you ! I've no intention to offend In wbat is sung or said— The Bum and BUOBtancc of His, To eo und learn a trade. CHORUS.

Dear Sir,—Wo emtraco this opportunity of congratulating you upon tho wido-spread reputation this justly estcemod mediclno, Dr J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne. has earned for itself, not only in Hhidostan, but all over the Kast. As a romedy of general utility, wo much question whothor a bettor is imported into tho country, and wo shall bo glad to hoar of its finding a placo in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, wo aro happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and judging from their sale, we fancy their sojurn thoro will bo but ovanescent. Wo could multiply instances ad injlnitum of tho extraordinary cfllcacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyno in Diarrhoea and Dysontry, Spasms, Cramps, Nouralgia, tho Vomiting of Pregnanoy, and as a general seda tive, that have occurred undor our personal observation during many years. In Cliolcraio Diarrhcea and oven moro terrible forms of Cholera Itsolf, wo have witnessed its surprising controlling power. Wo have never usod any other form of this mcdiolno than Collis Browne s from aflrm conviction that it is docidodly thobest, and also from a senso of duty wo owe to the profession and tho public, aa we aro of opinion that tho substitution of any other than Collis Browno's is a dembkratk breach ov faith ON THE TAUT OF 'HIE CHICMIST TO PHKSCKinBH and patient ALiifU.

The valuo of thi* well-known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of socioty, (or upwards of fifty years.

Purchasers aro therefore requested oarorully to observe the (our following distinctive ohar aoteristicß, without whioh nono are genuine :— Ist—ln every case the words JonN Stkkd man, Chemist, Walwobth, Surrey, are en graved on tho Government Stamp affixed to each packet, 2nd—jffiaoh Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words John Steedman, Chemist.
