notice at the date of our last publication. The delay has enabled us to pronounce a more impartial judgment upon its merits than would then have been possible. It has been submitted to a jury of children, to whom it has been read, as designed by the author, on Sunday afternoons. We need say no more in its favour than that it has been eagerly read and re-read.-Mr. Goodwyn Barmby's "Return of the Swallow, and other Poems"-a collection of verses, some re-published, others now printed for the first time-hardly come within the critical eyesight of a Theological Review. So, after the fashion of the old Greek blockhead, we offer a brick as a sample of the house in the following elegant little poem, asking our readers to believe that in Mr. Barmby's pages they will find much profitable and pleasing matter of a similar kind:

"Sower, go forth! and with well-measured stride,

And balanced body, swung from side to side,
Spread forth thy hand and cast thy treasure wide.
"From the coarse bag athwart thy stout breast hung,
Draw forth thy golden seed, which broadcast flung,
Shall yet arise the binding weed among.

"Though poppies redden, purple thistles rear,
And knotted grasses point the verdurous spear;
Sow step by step-thy harvest shall appear.
"Let the rough harrow close thy useful toil,

Or the drill's labour, and the scattered soil
The roller press, for the rich autumn spoil.
"So, sower of the Word! pass o'er the land,
Sowing thy seed: no longer idly stand;

Sow in the morn, nor let eve stay thy hand. "Beside all waters sow, though jointed weed Or choking creeper struggle with thy deed; Thou hast thy labour done and earned thy meed, "Though tangling briar upon thy borders press, Labour shall prune the world's rough wilderness, And blooming roses its wide desert bless.

"The glance of goodness to the heart shall come; Nor word, nor tract, fall seedless into gloom: And spring-tide sowing have its harvest home."
