POETRY.

Streamlets of Song. By F. R. Havergal. (James Nisbet and Co.)—This volume contains certain of Miss Havergal's poems which froni their simplicity have been chosen as suitable for the young. With regard to the poems themselves, it is unnecessary for us to repeat the verdict that has already been accorded to their extreme beauty both in thought and language. The selec- tion has been well and carefully made. We do not think that its readers will be confined solely to the young.
