in the compilation of these pages not omitto any of
those gems of poetic beauty which are universally ad-
mired-, at the same time he has ventured to introduce
few of the efforts of modern singers, whicha bid fair to
become universal favorites, all in good time.

vein poetrysaic—a of somewhere in our nature, and a

along has been to present the public with a volume that
should answer the mood of the poet Longfellow, ex-
\)resied In the following memorable stanzas:
" Read from some humble poet,
Whose songs gush from his heart
