Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Volume of Various Verse The name of Charles J. Colton, subscribed to verses in various newspapers of this country, notably in the New Orleans times-democrat of Mr. Page M. Baker, has, for a number of years, attracted the widest attention and furnished to a great body of readers the most genuine enjoyment. That these verses have struck the popular chord is attested by the extent to which they have been reproduced. Bridget, bringing in the early breakfast, has been equally careful to bring in the morn ing paper, and, like as not, the first thing turned to was the head of the All Sorts column wherein most of the shorter verses have appeared, and where the searcher might be sure to find some whimsical fancy dancing to the lilting measure our poet knows so well. That man who may speak to the people in the language they understand, - singing to them sweetly and simply and true, - turning the world over and over, smiling at this, laugh ing at that, lulling tenderly this theme and pathetically that investing the whole, strange inconceivable mystery of life, its commonplaces and its ideals, with the pleasant color of a gentle, honest mind - that man is far on the road towards poetry as it is measured in the hearts of men and women. Such is Charles J. Colton - and would that you all knew him as this friend does, feeling the warm currents of his simple, boyish, joyous, optimist nature; - such is Charles J. Colton, and may the Fates rock him tenderly for all the pleasure his verses have brought to our world-worn hearts and weary brains!
