Excerpt from Bulo; Reuben Ross; A Tale of the Manacles; Hymn, Song, and Story IN briefly prefacing his seventh volume Of Hymn, Song, and Story, the author feels he has but little to Offer by way Of apology. Had he a certain tenure for a longer sojourn upon earth, he might have de sisted from publication fora season but feeling the pressure Of time's advance, and the uncertainty Of all sublunary things, it is only natural he Should be anxious to finish his work before the night overtakes him. In early life the path Of psalm was Opened before him where his father's fields were bright with daisies, and rills went rippling down the rocks and he turned upon it with hopeful steps. Poetry seems to be his principal mission to mankind; and though, as Eliza Cook has justly hinted in a recent commu nication to the writer, it is too Often its own reward.
