By FRANCIS DE HAES JANVIER. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. The Contest: a Poem. By G. P. CARR. Chicago: P. L. Hanscom. Poems. By ANNIE E. CLARK. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co. All these little books are very prettily printed and very pleasingly bound. Each has its little index and its little dedication, and each its hundred pages of rhymes, and so each flutters forth into the world.
Ne regarde pas la figure, Jeune fille, regarde le coeur. Le coeur d'un beau jeune homme est souvent difforme. Il y a des coeurs ou l'amour ne se conserve pas. Jeune fille, le sapin n'est pas beau, N'est pas beau comme le peuplier, Mais il garde son feuillage l'hiver. Helas! a quoi bon dire cela? Ce qui n'est pas beau a tort d'etre; La beaute n'aime que la beaute, Avril tourne le dos a Janvier.
The 'Times' is working most patriotically; but why, in the world, did it or he not find out earlier what the G. O. M. really was and is?... With my best regards to Mrs. Reeve, I remain, yours very truly, From the Comte de Paris 8 janvier. Je vous remercie bien sincerement des bons voeux que vous m'adressez pour la nouvelle aimee.
"The general opinion may be expressed," says Janvier, in his "Mexican Guide," "in regard to the writings concerning this period that, as a rule, a most gorgeous superstructure of fancy has been raised upon a very meagre foundation of fact. As romance, information of this highly imaginative sort is entertaining, but it is not edifying."
He had a great respect for the priesthood, and has left many a charming and sympathetic picture of the parish cure, such as l'Abbe Janvier in "Le Medecin de Campagne," who acts hand in hand with the good doctor Benassis, as an enlightened benefactor to the poor; or l'Abbe Bonnet, the hero of "Le Cure du Village," whose face had "the impress of faith, an impress giving the stamp of the human greatness which approaches most nearly to divine greatness, and of which the undefinable expression beautifies the most ordinary features."
La Salle himself says, "La hauteur nous a fait remarquer... que ce que nous avons vue, le sixieme janvier, estoit en effet la principale entree de la riviere que nous cherchions." As Joutel, with a boat's crew, was vainly trying to land, a party of Indians swam out through the surf, and were taken on board; but La Salle could learn nothing from them, as their language was wholly unknown to him.
R. M. Carruth, New Roads, corresponding secretary; Miss Lois Janvier, New Orleans, recording secretary; Miss Olivia Munson, Napoleonville, treasurer; Mrs. Fannie Wolfson, Coushatta, auditor. This board was unchanged until 1915, when Mrs. Clarence King of Shreveport became treasurer and Mrs. M. H. Lawless of Garden City and Mrs. D. C. Scarborough of Natchitoches, auditors.
"Two, rather than one," said Genestas, holding out his glass. "I mean to drink them both to your health to a man who does honor to the species." "And who is dear to all of us," said the cure in gentle tones. "Do you mean to force me into the sin of pride, M. Janvier?" "M. le Cure has only said in a low voice what all the canton says aloud," said Cambon.
"If there has been so much fighting about religion," said Genestas, "God must have built up the system very perfunctorily. Should not a divine institution impress men at once by the truth that is in it?" All the guests looked at the cure. "Gentlemen," said M. Janvier, "religion is something that is felt and that cannot be defined.
