_The Fountain of Living Waters, in a Series of Sketches. By a Layman. New York: G. P. Putnam. 1 vol. 16mo._ The topics of this exquisitely printed volume are sufficiently indicated by the general title. It evidently comes from a soul profoundly imbued with religious sentiment, and the sketches indicate an observing and reflecting mind. * * * * * [Illustration: Anaïs Toudouze LE FOLLET Boulevart S^{t.} Martin, 61. _Chapeaux de M^{me}._ Baudry, _r.

WRITTEN BY J. M. CHURCH, ESQ. MUSIC COMPOSED BY JAMES BELLAK. Presented by Edward L. Walker, 150 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. [Illustration: music score] I watch thee dearest maiden, I mark thy beauty rare, Thou’rt leaning from thy casement, To breathe the moon-lit [Illustration: music score] air! The rays are softly falling Upon thy mournful face, And in thy sweet, sad eyes love, A secret pang I trace! My dreams are all of heaven. Or sooth sweet one of thee! And oft I seek thy casement, This earthly heaven to see: Ah! tell me where thy thoughts love, Are wandering this hour! Thou art not happy lovely one Thus lonely in thy bower. That brow how darkly shadowed, Bid clouds of grief depart! Yet sadness makes thee sweeter, More sad, more sweet, thou art, Now mine’s a cheerful heart love, Wilt mingle it with thine? The cup we’ll quaff together, And thus our fates entwine. * * * * * Transcriber’s Notes: Table of Contents has been added for reader convenience. Archaic spellings and hyphenation have been retained.
