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.
Well, there, Eben! I do get kind o' blue when the winter comes on and I sit here by the fire watchin' my hair turn gray. If anybody was to offer me a job, I'd take it." "You would?" said Cap'n Hanscom. She saw a thought run into his eyes, and hated it.
It was nearly two o'clock before his troops came in sight, certainly none too soon. He at once formed on Geddis's left. There was but one spot, on account of the density of the forest, where artillery could be put in battery or used to any advantage. Here Hanscom put all his artillery. At 2:30 he received orders to attack Hiller at once in conjunction with Geddis, which he did.
But then Cap'n Hanscom came, too, and he was a widower, and once Sophronia's own husband had taken a hand at the snowy citadel. Angry maidenhood in her kept hurling questions into the deepening dusk. Mariana was learning that in a world of giving in marriage, no woman and no man who have not accorded hostages to fortune can live unchallenged.
A strange and fatal man, whom women loved to their sorrow, and whom simple men could not understand! It was generally agreed that the parish was well rid of him.

When Mr. Buffington refused to pay the stipulated fee for his appointment, Mr. Hanscom published a handbill, in which he unblushingly related the circumstances and denounced the ex-Congressman for breach of faith.

Hanscom now assaulted and broke the enemy's line, capturing many prisoners. At six p.m. Broomfield attacked. Night closed with our columns within one mile of Spottsylvania Court-house.
For two hours, responding to the manipulation of the star and his thoroughly subjugated playwright, the character of "Roderick Hanscom" grew nobler and nobler, speech by speech and deed by deed, while the expression of the gentleman who was to impersonate it became, in precise parallel with this regeneration, sweeter and loftier and lovelier.
Suppose we let 'Roderick Hanscom' make his sacrifice, not for the heroine, but because he's in love with the other girl the ingenue I've forgotten the name you call her in the script. I mean the part played by that little Miss Miss girl Miss-what's-her-name Wanda Malone!" Canby stared at Potter in fascinated amazement, his straining eyes showing the whites above and below the pupils.
In his pockets were portions of the manuscript of his play, already distorted since rehearsal to suit the new nobleness of "Roderick Hanscom," and among these inky sheets was a note from Talbot Potter, received just before dinner: Dear Mr. Canby, Come up to my apartments at the Pantheon after dinner and let me see what changes you have been able to make in the second and third acts.
