THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MAY 9, 1870.. Poemaby Tnnle Uubrlel HoNMetfl. A now volume of poems bj Dante Gabriel Bossetti, the pre-Raphaelite poet-painter, has just appeared in London, and ha been received with great cordiality by the English critics. "We give the following sonnets at specimens. The first two are entitled "New born Death," and may be read as one poem: I. To-day Death seems to me an infant child Which her worn mother Life upon my knee Baa set to grow my friend and play with me; If haply bo my heart might be begniled To find no terrors in a face so mild If haply so my weary heart might be Unto the newborn milky eyes of thee, O Death, before resentment reconciled. How long, O Death ? And shall thy feet de part Still a yonng child's with mine, or wilt thou stand Fall grown the helpfnl daughter of my heart, "What time with thee indeed I reach the strand Of the pale wave which knows thee what thou art, And drink it in the hollow of thy hand ? n. And thon, 0 Life, the lady of all bliss, With whom, when our first heart beat full and fast, I wandered till the haunts of men were pass'd, And in fair places found all bowers amiss Till only woods and waves might hear our kiss, "While to the winds all thought of Death we east: Ah, Life ! and must I hare from thee at last No smile to greet me and no babe but this ? ( Lo ! Love, the child once ours; and bong, whose hair Blew like a flamo and blossomed like a wreath; And Art, whose eyes were worlds by God found fair These o'er the book of Nature mixed their breath With neck-twined arms, as oft we watched them there: And did these die that thou mightst bear me Death ? When Tain desire at last and vain regret Go hand in hand to death, and all is vain, What shall assuage the unforgotten pain And teach the nnforgetful to forget ? Shall Peace be still a sunk stream long unmet T3f ma Jho soul at once in a gTeen plain SStoop through fie spray of some pweJ life-fountain A?J Cl1" the dew-dhched flowering atflutet ? 6 'ao wan sou a tiat gltion ar .utweenthe scriptural petals softly blown Peers breathless for the gift of grace un known, Let no such joys as other souls count fair But only the one Hope's one name bo there Not less nor more, but even that word alone. What shall be said of this embattled day And armed occupation of this night By all thy foes beleaguered now when sight Nor sound denotes the loved one far away ? Of these thy vanquished hours what shalt thou say, As every sense to which she dealt delight Now labors lonely o'er the stark noon height To reach the sunset's desolate disarray ? Stand still, fond fettered wretch ! while Me mory's art Pnrades the Past before thy face, and lures Thy spirit to her passionate portraitures: Till the tempestuous tide-gates flung apart Flood with wild will the hollows of thy heart, And thy heart rends thee, and thy body endures, The Decay ofUnglisli Politics. from tht Pall Mall Gazette. Certainly the political life of ui English men of this generation seems to be separated from that of our fathers, and of those who preceded them by a very distinct line of de marcation, and in a manner not very easily accountable. For eighty years at least Bay from the, accession of George III to that of Victoria after dynastio quarrels had ended, the great subjects of public discussion and controversy were forms of government and political rights. Gradually, and through many a fiercely contested battle, the suffrage was extended, class after class was brought within its range, freedom or license of the press established, the prerogatives of the Crown and of the peerage, if not invaded in legal form, converted by a forcible process of repression from realities into fictions. And during the whole period the public interest in these questions continued unabated and almost exclusive of others. If Whigs or Jacobins or ltadicals thundered, it was at some barrier against the extension of popular power. If Tories rallied, it was in defense of some out work of the political supremacy of the higher classes. Kengious disputes wero in abeyance, except that of Catholio emancipation, and this was treated by all but the clergy and a few clerical partisans much more in a politi cal than a sectarian sense. Economical ques tions were eagerly debated in certain circles, but excited little interest in the industrious masses, contented, for the most part, to go on Jirotecting and being protected alter the phi osophy of the middle ages. Problems concerning the functions and amendment of the Constitution were those which engrossed the faoulties of ordiuary public men, excited the powers of the greatest orators and statesmen, and roused the pas sions of the multitude. If a Briton of those davs were to have been told that his children or grandchildren would cease almost wholly to take interest in the development and working of that British Constitution which he deemed the nearest approach on earth to the perfection of human wisdom, he would cave augured in indeed 01 tne commonwealtn. and have deemed that days of wooden shoes and slavery were near at hand. And yet that event has substantially come to pass. It is impossible to shut our eyes to the phenomena which indicate a cessation, rather Budden than gradual, of that tendency of the popular sentiment towards the extension of mere political rights which was thus the ruling publio passion for nearly a century. Our champions of advanced political ideas seem rather in the position of miners who have wrought a rich vein of ore during a long series of operations, have followed it in regular progress, and found it grow more and more promising, . and are then suddenly brought to a stop by a fault in the strata, rendering it impossible to pursue the valu able peam any farther. Speaking in a gene ral way, all enthusiasm about mere political questions seems to have met with unforeseen paralysis. Never was measure carried through with more laborious and less sue. cessful efforts to excite the publio mind 1114 Wt lota I'Jl. I; wa a measure of the greatest import ance as regards the future adjustment of the balance of power between classes; but it was accepted as a" disagreeable neoeRsity by one side, as a boon of very little value by the other; and as soon an the dreary debates which it had occasioned were over, all the world rushed with a sense of relief to sub jects more congenial to the modern national taste. At this present time there are one or two questions of this class which still remain unsettled waifs and strays, scattered relics of the great contests of old. The "ballot" is one. Thirty years ago to pronounce its name was to raise a topio of fierce and dangerous controversy. Who cares about the ballot now, except a candidate who calculates how far it may lessen his expenses ? The repre sentation of minorities is another, and, in our view, a far more important one. Indeed, the preblem of dealing with it in a rational way is, perhaps, the last secret reserved for the pro gress of merely political enlightenment. But it seems as if the press and the publio were de termined to leave it alone. Whether Mr. Hardcastle has secured a day for the discus sion of his motion on the subject, we really do not know. We are certain that there is a total absence of eagerness on the part of the world in general to know whether it is coming on or not. And it must be remembered that this civic apathy, so to speak, is by no means confined to one class in society. If politics, pure and simple, constitute a mere bore for the present to the ordinary cultivated mind, they seem to be as completely distasteful to the mass of the people. Perhaps there never was in Great Britain we do not Bay Ireland a voluntary organization so powerful as that of our trade unions has be come of late years. Any leader who could master and divert it for what we have termed pure political purposes, might effect formi dable changes in tne btate. But scarcely any of their actual leaders have shown the slightest inclination so to apply their power, and the few who have made the attempt have failed altogether. The wiser among unionists do not believe that they should forward their own special views by any dealing with suffrage 1! 3 i t. . a . . questions, ana me great boay ao not seem to care about them. The truth is, not that partv sentiment has ceased to exercise its influence on the masses, but that it has taken another direction. Mere political change is no longer, judging by pre sent appearances, an object of general desire, xui me interest iormeny lelt in ifc has been transferred to two other divisions of public matters, pecuaiary and religious, A question to be taken in earnest mn;; touch either the pocket or the Fr;yer.Book By pocuniary questior wft moan, of course, such as affect mo possessions or the well-being of the com munity or of any important class of it. Ever since the great free trade battles which inau gurated the present era in our domestic his t ory, questions of this class have been in the ascendant. bocial economy nas usurped the domain of politics, and will do so more and more unless we misinterpret the auguries of the time until those hazardous problems which lie at the base of it have either been solved or put aside as insoluble. The object now at heart is, not to apportion political power among the several ranks of men, but to apportion the more substantial good things of this life; and lew tnere are nowadays so contented with superficial solu tions as to hold tne favorite tneory ot our fathers that the first ensured the second. Any question touching the regulation of the rela tions between owner and occupier ot tne sow, or between capital and labor, now excites a palpitating eagerness, very different indeed from those subdued emotions with which we greet the occasional reappearance of the old institutional discussions touching secret voting or the uses of the Ilouse of Lords. It may be thought singular that along with this tendency to economical controversies, tne age should witness so extraordinary a recandescence of the spirit of ecclesiastical polemics likewise. But the sagacious observer will recognize this as a scarcely less salient feature ot modern so ciety. Men of ability, men of praotical sense, men of Bound learning, utterly impassive to the declamation or reasoning of political re formers, totally incredulous as to mere ponti- col ameliorations men wno in tnese matters have cot. in Mr. Lowe's happy phrase, "be tween the north wind" into a region of un troubled calm will take fire on the occur rence of the most insignificant controversy between rival religious parties, .there were fifty such men who worked themselves into a fever for or against Dr. Temple for one whos pulse beat a stroke higher by reason of th debates on lodger suffrage. Our party leader i of old who thought they knew tueir country. men well the two Pitts, Fox, and Grenvilles would have reooiled in bewilderment from the notion of one of two united na tions rending its establishments fiercely asunder on a question of Church patronage. and another going half out of its wits about tne special regulations under which poor helpless children ere to be taught their very elementary "Grammar of Assent so as to please tne sects, liurke, with his larger mind, might have compre hended more nearly the nature of the change which had passed over the mind of his nation; but he would have regarded it as a sign of degeneracy such as was manifested when the Itoman nation ceased to study tne art of gov erning empires and betook ltsolf to the Anan controversy. Wnemer we ougnt to ieei humiliated on this account or not, one thing is certain men who aspire to lead must first follow, and in order to follow they must sym pathize with the genuine movement of their time. For the present the "dry light" of the mere politician is in this country obscured. Oiygen Uatt, Tha Ojrinion Rationale of Paris says:- "The new Prefect of the Seine has just defi nitely authorized the Company of Tessie, da Motay et Cie. to lay down their under- around lines in Paris for lighting it with oxynen cas. "A network of pipes will extend from Pantin to the Boulevards, and in a few months all the dwellings between the new Opera House and the Passage Jouffroy will be able to profit by the immense advantages which this means of illumination oners over ordi nary gas. Already the oxy-hydrogen burners have been erected at the entrance to the European Bazaar, near the Passage Jonffroy, which cive out a light bo purely white and of such extraordinary brilliancy that the old gas looks singularly pale and yellow by the Bide of them. "We cannot but congratulate the Prefect of the Seine upon having ratified a measure so adanted the ceneral interest, and which seems to us the indispensable corollary to the L'reat publio enterprises undertaken du ring the last few years in Paris." It Is iald that the reason American girls fad so earlv and have such poor complexions naturally, is because they eat late dinuers aud suppers. An old bpautau proverb says in refer ence to this fact: ''A little breakfast is enough; enough dinner is but Utile; a little supper is too much." OARPETINQS, ETO. X. J. LESTER. OH AS. CERN'ZA. P.
