In "Iycus he CeutajurV ad v tHwa XJir ans" there Is aa ; "airy iahd fantastic Imagery" "Professor Shaw) that will be sure to arrest the attention of any endowed with responsiveness. "The Bridge of Sighs" and "The Song of the Shirt" became , extremely popular and like one or more of Charles Dickens's immortal novels, did, much to relieve suffering humanity. They moved upon the hearts of the good. and benevolent. Hood's '"MUss Kdlmansegg" ia some thing satirical, keen and biting and is yet, as.Saintsbury distinguishes it, "ter rifle grotesque." The fun is ugroarl-: ous and the underlying moral teaching Is apparent. , Hood : was eminently a song writer. Read "Fair Ines," one of the positive gems in all modern literatures. ; It is exquisite In Its purity, in its simplic-i ity, in Its beauty. Read also "Twin. of Roses" and "Last' Stanzas," all so overflowing with true sentiment and with (the ring of purest gold in mins- trettsy. We must ; moiti overlook ' "The Plea of the Midsummer ' Fairies,"., nor his really splendid "Ode to Melan choly," of his higher and grayer poe try. We sincerely believe that "The iKea" Is & positive addition. to pure poetry, , and "a gem of purest ray se rene." It is indeed a crowning work of inspiration. Read it, - for it is un common, and it is poetry. - We have said that ; Hood did. much good to his f ellotw-men with his unusu al mental j endowments arousing into activity the latent sympathies of the people. Professor Shaw says "he must be considered as , the originator of. a very peculiar and powerful species of song, equally admirable for the force and simplicity of their diction the har mony land (novelty of their metrical con struction, and above all for the fervid and vigorous spirit, of humanity which they breathe." i - Poor- aim ihis life 'Hooid made a n.ost manly struggle against anherdted- dls ease and iprotracted poverty.

Then tne doors of every jail and pen itentiary should Ibe opened and set the incarcerated criminals free." . ' The great! fundanienital doctrine of salvation through Christ, as it applies to work in the sinner, Is the New. Birth the absolute necessity of 'being, born again, Iborn into the kingdom of righteousness born of the (Holy Spirit, born from, above. : It is- simply basic an all Christian I'ife and cbaracter. There can be no true religious lif e lif e lived with Christ ; ia " God, without, this start, the laying of this sure and firm foundation. Man is a sinner against God and his nature lis depraved ilt is as natural for bimi to sin as far sparks "to fly upward. There must of rieceesity be a deep rad'ical change '.wrought be fore man a" sinner caiu jbe made, a. true Christian loving, serving and 'honoring God. Mere outward 1 ceremonies are not "wortih a shuck" In working the needed transformation. Poor, old, lost wicked' (human niaiture is very badly out of repair, - out of harmony with purity and God, to be mode shapely and excellent by man's thinking, and the necessiarily superficial ministrations of ceremonies. ; A' . proifounder work of grace, a more mfairvellous change itihon mere man' "can cause must Ibe done to purify and exalt the soul, and fit' it for God.. The New Tes'tament is filled with this great doctrine. It permeates, ramifies the ' biess'ed! Word, of God. "Jesus answered and sold unto nlm. Verily, veriliy, I say; unto itbee, Ex cept a man be born again, be cannot see the kingdom of God." John il, 3.

By ope of two ways. - One is to sur round it wftb outward laws and regu lations, as with steel hoops.
