PINE TREE BALLADS. Rhymed Stories of Unplaned Human Natur’ up in Maine.

Mr. Day’s second book bids fair to outdo in popularity his earlier volume.

The section titles, “Our Home Folks,” “Songs of the Sea and Shore,” “Ballads of Drive and Camp,” “Just Human Nature,” “Next to the Heart,” “Our Good Prevaricators,” and “Ballads of Capers and Actions,” give an idea of the nature of the contents, which are fully equal in freshness, vigour, and manly feeling to the poems by which Mr. Day has already won an established reputation.

“It is impossible to think of any person or class of people in America that these epical lyrics, these laughter-fetching, tear-provoking ballads will fail to please.”—The Chicago Record-Herald.
