And brings the medicine, sweetest from those

hands,

Still whispering hope which she would check or chide.

Doth the charmed cup recall the fainting soul E'en from Death's grasp! oh! blessings on my Whole!

(1831.)

THE END.

SCOTTISH CAVALIERS.

BY WILLIAM E. AYTOUN, Professor of Literature and Belles-Lettres in the University of Edinburgh, and Editor of Blackwood's Magazine. A new edition, on fine laid tinted paper, handsomely bound. 12mo, cloth extra, $2 25; half calf, $4.

"Since Lockhart and Macaulay's ballads, we have had no metrical work to be compared in spirit, vigor, and rhythm, with this. These ballads embody and embalm tho chief historical incidents of Scottish history-literally in 'thoughts that breathe and words that burn.' They are full of lyric energy, graphic description, and genuine foeling."-Home Journal.

"The fine ballad of 'Montrose' in this collection, is alone worth the price of the hook.”—Boston Transcript.

THE BOOK OF BALLADS.

BY BON GAULTIER (W. E. AYTOUN and THEODORE

MARTIN).

A handsome edition, on fine paper, with Illustrations. 12mo, cloth extra, $1 50; half calf, $3,

"Here is a book for everybody who loves classic fun. It is made up of ballads of all sorts, each a capital parody upon the style of some one of the best lyric writers of the time, from the thundering versification of Lockhart and Macaulay, to the sweetest and simplest strains of Wordsworth and Tennyson. The author is one of the first scholara, and one of the most finished writers of the day, and this production is but the frolic of his genius in play-time."-Courier and Enruirer.

"We do not know to whom belongs this nom de plume, but he is certainly a humorLot of no common power."-Providence Journal.
