It Is sus picious, to say the least, that this poem did not appear until after we ha1 placed the bard of Cappahooalo too high for rivalry. For the bene fit of students we republish some pas safes of this lay, reserving our opin ion as to Its origin, date and authen ticity. Accepting It for what It pre tends to be, compared with the known works of Andrews It is but the squash pipe reed to the concert of the spheres: "In 172S, the summer month of June, The l"th day, Penelope Raised first hr Infant tuna "Thomas Barker was a lawyer Of repute and ability.

"Antedated old Boston's noble stand" is chronology a little scratch ed, but much may be forgiven to good Intentions. And now good-by to Pon elope: "Hut like the fragrant flowers, All things Bweet must fade. She died leaving a record of glnry she had made." "We are there wdth aha goods," cries The Observer proudly.
