A Harvard Poet.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The New York Sun has lately printed an interesting scrap of gossip about a Harvard man. "The Messrs. Howe and Co. of London, found on a book stall an American book of anonymous verses, which they reprinted under the title 'Pirated Poems.' The English reprint has run into the twelfth thousand, and the publishers express a desire to become acquainted with the author and to share with him the profits arising from the sale of the book. The poems are witty, philosophical, graceful, and altogether delightful. We congratulate the Messrs. Howe and Co. upon their good taste," continues the Sun, "and are pleased to be able to inform them that the author is Mr. Edward S. Martin, of Rochester, in this State. Mr. Martin is a Harvard man, who wrote his first verses for the Advocate, of which he was an editor, fifteen years or so ago. His poems, with additions, are re-issued by the Scribner's under the title of 'A Little Brother of the Rich, and Other Verses.' "
