Eden with its angels bold, Love and flowers and coolest sea, Is less an ancient story told Than a glowing prophecy. In the spirit's perfect air, In the passions tame and kind, Innocence from selfish care, The real Eden we shall find. When the soul to sin hath died, True and beautiful and sound, Then all earth is sanctified, Upsprings paradise around. From the spirit-land, afar All disturbing force shall flee; Stir, nor toil, nor hope shall mar Its immortal unity." _Messrs. Roberts Brothers' Publications._ THE LAYMAN'S BREVIARY. A Selection for Every Day in the Year. Translated from the German of LEOPOLD SCHEFER, by Charles T. Brooks. In one square 16mo. volume, bevelled cloth, gilt edges. Price, $2.50. A cheaper edition. Price, $1.50. "The 'Layman's Breviary' will adorn drawing-room centre-tables, boudoirs, library nooks; it will be a favorite travelling companion, and be carried on summer excursions to read under trees and on verandas. For every day of the year there are thoughts, counsels, aspirations--many of them Oriental in tone, or patriarchal in spirit; there are delineations of nature, pure utterances of faith; each page contains fresh and earnest expressions of a poetic, believing, humane soul--often clad in exquisite language. It is eminently a household book, and one to be taken up and enjoyed at intervals."--_Boston Transcript._ "Each poem is in itself a sermon; not of dry, theological dogmas, but the love and care of the Infinite, the yearning and outreaching of the human to grasp the divine. It is a book not to be lightly read and carelessly tossed aside, but to be studied daily until the lessons it conveys are learned, and its comforting words written on every heart. Of the author's religious opinions we know nothing; what creed he subscribes to we cannot tell; but we do know that he is a true worshipper of God, and lover of his fellow-men. This book should be on every table; all households should possess it; we cannot too highly recommend it to the notice of all. It has been truly said, that 'these blooming pictures of Nature, praising the love, the goodness, the wisdom of the Creator and His work, form in truth a poetical book of devotion for the layman whom the dogma does not satisfy--a _breviary_ for man.'"--_The Wide World._ MY PRISONS.
