[page 193, column 1, continued:]

Graham's Magazine for October, has a portrait and biography of Robert Morris, the gentlemanly editor of the Philadelphia “Inquirer.” This is the best likeness of the series. There is also a spirited engraving of a Maunitarri Warrior. Grund contributes an interesting paper on “The Continental Historians”; Alfred B Street has “A Day's Fishing in the Kalikoon” — very picturesque; and Mrs. Osgood furnishes “Leonora L’Estrange,” one of her invariably graceful compositions. We purloin from it an epigrammatic song:

I have been true to all I loved —

To Honor, Love and Truth;

These were the idols of my soul

In my believing youth —

And these I worship londly still,

With vows all pure and free —

Alas I that truth to them involves

Unfaithfulness to thee.
