A Caution to Poets.
What poets feel not, when they make A pleasure in creating, The world, in its turn, will not take Pleasure in contemplating.
—Matthew Arnold.

A Christmas Episode of the Plantation.
BY RUTH McENERY STUART.
[In the same volume which contains this story there are many others that lend themselves to recitation. "Moriah's Mourning" is one of the best pieces of humor which Mrs. Stuart has written; "Christmas at the Trimbles" has proven itself a never-failing success, and "The Second Mrs. Slimm" is an excellent reading.]
