IVedding.”
HY 2118 BARB 07 2011/88 HALL.
T No subj ec t
laudationaY uh " Down East"
For he'd no title to lug name,
Nor titles to plantations:
Industrious and wide awake—
No time to follies giving—
laworked from rosy dawn till dark.
* To earn an honest living.
He loved a maiden in the town,
And fora wife be sought her.
She was a child of parents poor,
Yet gold could•not have bought her; '
Butt when the manly, noble youth, i
The honed son of labor—
No "Santa Cruz," from Cuba's Isle,
But " Yankee Jed." tier neighbor
-With winning smile. said " Dearest Jane,
I DYY heart, by Love'a direction,
uvo to thee, with all my wealth—
That wealth, no' heart's affection;
And ask thee to become nil wife,
And be no darling ever, ."
Until, the hand of ruthlees Death
The ilea of love shall sever ;"
She planed her hand within his own,
And, asking strength from Heaven,
The Pledge of toys, ne.gold could buy,
Was freely, fondly given. •
A month elapsed—they went on foot
To consummate their marriage—
With steps made light by buoyant lumen
'They needed not a earflap. •
•
No satin, silk, or velvet fine
No brilliant diamonds glowing,
Were on the
.lovely country maid
Their transient charms bestowing;
But on her cheek a matehlees bloom
outvied the block of morning—
Possessed of beauty, born ot health,
She needed no adorning.
Inge/ire, with cherished hopes
Her face in smiles arrayitr; •
With parted lips, ea rubies red,
tier pearl-like teeth displaying. •
With e_yes made brit lit by inward light;
With love, and mental graeos,
She stood exalted o'er the need
Of Marmot gemli and limes.
Without the pomp of Drido's display,
Her bridal vows were akon ;
Mule strong in truth by lov po e unbought,
Those vowa remain unbroken:
And, op Life's true, a better pair
Are Jane and Jedediali,
Than ten " Ormflo-Sartletr pair,
Which Sudden's' fools admire.
May all who at the 'rowan Hsu.
Are well and nhenPlY dressing,
Remember that • woman e'er
Will prove the greatest blessing,
When with the " silken card orlon"
And not 11. golden halter—
Ilor lover binds
tut heart tohera,
And leads her the altar.

dearipheloved readers would give us credit

tending to treat of an Irish subject, we corn-
Mende with this modest allusion, snore Itiber
tcleci Among these unwritten articles We
may,;riame a series, with specimens of their
,cOmOsitions, upon the later and living poets
et Oinfr Ireland.
Ogi, +.l this sketch, which is intended merely
to notice ono among them, shall we attempt to
enaitlerato that noble army of lyrists. But
Son* names force themselves upon our re
coildption. Among these, though scarcely bo
leti In to young Ireland proper, are WrizrAu
11.4, MN and THOMAS FURLONG ; J. J. CALLA
.n.
whose poem on " Gougane Barra " is ono
eq e most musical ever written, and FRANCIS
....y; JonN BANTU, novelist, dramatist,
anttpoot, and GERALD Gamut, author of that
watderfUlly fine Irish novel, "The Collo
staffs," which O'Corotzta made a point of
reading twice or thrice every year, and of the
tragedy of fc Gisippus," performed with great
SUCCORS after his death. Tilsouts'Ailiscella
neims compositions the-writer of this article
hay endeavored to rescue from the heavy oh
stiffly of magazines, in which they were al
mOst lost. Of FunLorm's poems, no complete
collection has yet been made, but some telling
vs - tracts are to be found in DAnov lileGust's
'(Historical Sketches of O'Connell and his
Friends." A small pamphlet-like volume,
ptlblished by BOLSTER, of Cork, contains CAL.
lANAN'S poems. FRANCIS MAIIONY, now
Paris correspondent of the Zondon Globe, will
ling be remembered by what ho has written,
(" The Bells of Shandon " included,) In his in
imitable w Reliques of Father Front." Joan/
Ilmou's efforts as a poet have been over
shadoned by his achievements in the field of
ittose fiction, for IM was the principal writer
of "Tales by the O'Hara Family." And GER
ALD GRIFFIN,-Im, the gentle and the geed,
the gifted and the pure,—he, at least, has had
suttee done to him, at home and abroad. His
poetry occupies ono volume in the beautiful
Collection (in 10 vols. l'2 me.) published by
Messrs. SADLIER, ofNew York, two years ago,
an/ another volume, written by his brother,
contains ono of the best literary biographies
in the language, In which is shown the daily
beauty and gushing poetry of his life. Nor
should we forget SAMUEL FERGuSsON, yet liv
-Ing, wa prosperous
_gentleman," whose noble
ballad, w The Forging of the Anchor," sur
passes SCUILLER'S world-known w Casting of
the Bell." SIMMONS, CROLY, and Demi, can
scarcely be omitted here, though not belong
ing to this roll-call.
Tho establishment of The Nation, a Dublin
newspaper of politics, patriotism, and liters.
ture, brought out a great many Irish writers,
whose poetry, but for having that publication
to make it known, would have remained un
written to this day. There is a vast quantity
of unwritten poetry In men's hearts. Truly
did BYRON say: .
" Many are peels who hero never penned
Their inspirations—and perchance the heat."
They. have the pabulum—the thought, tho
passion, the pathos—but, as Weansivottru re
marked, are
" Wanting the accomplishment of versa."
There were many such delicately and pas
siona% organized'minde in Ireland. when
The Nation bounded into vigorous existence,
and these, bursting into poetry, "claimed
kindred there and had their claim allowed."
Foremost among these was 'MOHAN DAVIS,
from the South of Ireland—orator, prose
writer, poet—one or the most remarkable men
of a stirring time, who died too soon; FRAN
CIS DAVIS, who wrote as the "Belfast Man;"
D. F. McCAnrur, CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY,
now member of the Legislature of Australia;
M. J. BARRY, J. D. FRASER, R. D. WILLIAMS
(" Shamrock"), Row Ann WALSII, Mrs. W. R.
Warm (l Speranza"), T. D. MeGunn, and
JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN-
Jour; liiircnia, one of the men of Forty
eight, whose “Jail Journal" is a most re.
markablo book, considering the circumstances
under which it was written, hail edited the
poems, a few years since, of THOMAS DAVIS
who, beyond all doubt, wan the poet of the
time in which, too briefly, his meteoric lustre
beamed. His noble, thrilling ballad on the
Battle of Fontenoy has scarcely an equal in
the language, and we know not which to ad
mire most, the energy and eloquence of his
patriotism or the exquisite and touching ten
derness of his passionate and pathetic poetry.
We leave him here, for the present—because
THOMAS DAVIS deserves an article exclusively
for himself.
SCORN MITCHEL has just performed for CLA
RENCE MANOAN what Ito did for TIIO3IAB DA Vm.
Ile has edited, with a
.piographical introduc
tion of considerable interest, a volume of MAN
nAN's Poems, published by I'. M. 11AvEnvr,
of New York, and got up with surpassing ele
gance. This volume, which will be read thr and
wide, not by Irishmen alone, but by all who love
Poetry, contains IdAnuAN's translations from
the German lyrists, from the Irish poets, afew
apocryphal and fifteen miscellaneous poems
--chiefly those in which lifANo.iN's heart most
sadly and bitterly breathed thrill its thoughts
through the utterance of language. It is a
pity that a greater number of the miscellaneous
poems wore not given here. We inks, in par
ticular, the line ballad, called "The Nation's
First Number," written with all the force of
Joint WILSON and the bold swing of Wir.ttot
MAntns. It embodies MANGAN'S political
faith, also. In a word, it is so good that, al
beit it be travelling out of JOHN
collection to give it, we shall even reprint It
here, as we find it in that fine volume, pub
lished in Dublin in 1815, called ‘, The Spirit
of the Nation," containing the best ballads
and songs which had appeared in The Nu -

TIM SLAYS TRADR, Do:slave arm FOREIGN i Why it
Exists. and bow it may be Extinguished. By It. C.
CARET. 34 edition. rhihdelpflia t John 4. Norton.
1859. 12mo. pp. 425.
The author of this book, it is well known, Is not
an immediate emancipationist. lie does not call
slavery a sin, nor proscribe abolition as a duty, nor
hold it to he, in any sense or - degree, a remedy. It
Is, nevertheless, just as true that he regards every
degree and every form of human enthralment as
an error and an evil, but ho looks for the extin
guishment of slavery Solely to the action of each
an industrial economy and policy as shall, by
their own proper power, effect it. Mo comes to his
subject, therefore, neither as theologian, moralist,
philanthropist, nor sentimental reformer, but as a
political economist, and treats It throughout as a
question of cause and effect, ruled by the natural
laws of the subject. No section of the work is
formally devoted to moral causes; no consideration
is given to the religious and moral sentiments
concerned in it. The anther guards himself well
against the enthusiasm of feeling and intellectual
excitation; but the reader does not fail to receive
the shock of the conclusion. Quiet and Impasoive as
the plates of a galvanic battery, the facts and prin
ciples aro arranged, but the man who puts
himself within the eiroult of its influence feels
it none the loss in es ory nerve of his being.
ft is, perhaps, for the sake of philosophic sim
plicity arid uncinbarraseed force of argument, that
the author excludes moral and religions feelings
and principles in the discussion of his theme.
Tho advantage is that the opponent cannot escape
any argument of the book by tho help of a preju
dues, or the convenient answer of fanatic, en
thusiast, incendiary, or Abolitionist. The doc
trine of the work cannot be met with a charge of
impracticable benevolence, irrefleotive zeal, or re
bellion against the necessary order of things.
Neither tho aggressive conscience of the outside
world, nor the natural equality of all mon, nor
the spirit of the nineteenth century, nor the irre
pressible conflict, make any figure in the discus
sion ; nor do the defensive battle-cries of pa
triarchal institution, constitutional compromises,
right of property, integrity of theDnion, or foreign
interference, get any plum to Intrudethemselves.
The wrangle of pro-slavery and anti-slavery, in its
customary form, loses all pretences of pertinency,
and the reader 'lnds himself engaged with the
great question of the age as ono that depends for
Its solution now, as in all peat ages,'simply upon the
laws which rule the conditions of trade, industry,
and social well-being. The student of this work must
not expect to find a solution of difficulties which
belong to his own apprehension of the question ;
nor must he be surprised if be is led Into an elabo
rate description of the general policy of produc
tive industry, the causes of the wealth of nations,
and the social and political freedom of men, with
out respect to race or color, or the civil constitu
tions under which they live,
The best apprehenslori, which our limits allow us
to give, of this treatise, may be found in the au
thor's views of the forms of slavery which his work
embraces. lie finds it in nearly all civilised coun
tries. In some of these, men are seized on the
highway and sent to sea for long terms of years ;
others are driven, with their wives and children,
from their homes, to perish in the road, or to en
dure the slavery of dependence upon public
charity; another elms is driven to selling them
selves for long periods at bard labor In distant
countries ; and others still are exposed upon the
auction blocks, at the risk of perpetual separation
from their friends and kindred. Some of these are
deemed valuable, and aro accordingly well fed and
clothed, while others aro regarded as a nuisance ;
and Christian men are warned that their duty to
God and to society requires that they shall permit
their fellow-creatures to suffer every privation and
distress, short of " absolute death," with a view to
prevent the Increase of their numbers.
Discarding all differences of color and of civil
and social state r among the classes of subjects, Mr.
Carey inquires into the causes of their slavery, and
into the means and process of its extinguishment.
Tho most ultra Abolitionist can take no exception
to hie statement of the ease. It affords him all the
ground which he claims, but it gives no counte
nance to his poliey of immediate emancipation;
and it opposes too many corrections of his theory,
and too many checks to the method of his philan
thropy, to secure otherwise than by conquering his
acceptance, The champion of negro slavery is in
like manner embarrassed. Ito is not assailed on
moral grounds for the evil of his system; but his
customary justification is set aside for its want of
pertinency; he Is not ehartted with injustice to
his bondsman, and cannot offset the inferiority of
the negro race, and its incapacity Air freedom. Ile
is confronted with hid violation of the laws of so
cietary economy, end with the mischief of his indus
trial system, which no difference between him
self and his slave can In any wise affect. The
whole question is shifted front its basis in
" The Rights of Men," to that of social science,
whose laws override all distinctions among men,
and all constitutions and laws of their framing.
The questions upon which the inquiry turns. under
our author's treatment, are: Bow does man pass
from poverty and slavery toward wealth and free
dom How does wealth. tend to increase and
How does labor acquire value and the laborer be
come free? The logical answer to these questions
is given all through the work. end thb practical
proofs are eummoued from the history of the
growth of freedom In Russia, Northern Germany,
Demerit, Spain, and Belgium ; while the reverse
pewees, in the British West Indies, in the United
States, Portugal, Turkey, India, Ireland, Scotland,
and Englend, is traced, and the growth of slavery
in them is employed to illustrate the laws of the
subject by exposing the causes alleged upon their
negative side, After this examination, which Is
wonderfully full and comprehensive, and appa
rently as sound as it is searching, the author is
prepared to answer the question, How can slavery
be extinguished ? and to point out the duty of the
people of the United States and of the people of
Englund, under their respective circumstances and
responsibilities.
It will be apparent from this very general state
ment of the plan of the work, that It is in fact a
treatise upon slavery considered as a subject of po
litical economy, or it may be taken as an exercise
in the science of political economy applied to this
special subject. The chapter upon " the duty of
the people of the United States," especially strikes
us as thirty pages of the most instructive and sa
tisfactory reading to he met with in any book,
whatever the subject may be. The growth of the
pro-slavery sentiment of this country in the itietforty
years Is here explained so clearly az to change the
wonder with which it is usually regarded into a clear
perception that it is the necessary result of causes
with which wo aro all familiar—a necessary result of
the Imes which grow out of the economical conditions
of the country, and the policy of the Government
and the people. If any one' would know why the
ordinaniso of INT was supported by the South, and
why the Missouri Compromise was repealed in
IRGf ; why Virginia, in 1532, came near passing
an act for the gradual abolition of slavery ; and
why the reopening of the foreign slave trade is
now insisted upon by thei generation of men
and politicians immediately succeeding Wash
ington, Jeffersen, and Madison, this book will
solve the riddle for them; and whoever would
look for a corrective and a remedy for the veer,'_
grade miaoh of public opinion and notion upon this
eubjeet, will find it here clearly demonstrated in
theory, and so clearly prescribed for practice. But
the subsisting conflict is taken oft the ground on
which it Is now conducted; neither immediate nor
I gradual emancipation by force of legal enactments
is taken late the scheme. No war—political or
commercial, or social or religious—is contems
plated. Tho national laws which rule the welfare
of all men and all communities, alike, are un
folded; and that adjustment of industrial policy is
indicated which alone can promote the desired end.
In a word, the philosophy of eiyiiisation and the
laws of its growth ere the burden of this book;
and it Is clear that the slavery question must get
its only true solution in their light.
The work was first published six years ago. This
is the third edition. Wo are informed that its sale
in the Southern States has been so large that the
expectations of the present publisher lie princi
pally in that region. Many of the most eminent
of Southern jurists and scholars give it their
hearty approbation ; auil it seems to us that the
North will, in time, give it a cordial acceptance.

The Dying Leaves of Autumn.
BY UREYBURD.
Late in October, from the domicile of my child
hood,* it is that I write from the text-book of enr•
rounding nature. What pen could paint the so
loran beauty of Ood's thoughts, as they are mani
footed in His works before me? It is the season so
typical of tho evening of life—so redolent with
heavenly counsel--so congenial to resection and
sober thought. It is Autumn ! the loveliest season
of the year.
Alas, departing Summer, that art still lingering
in the,lap of Fall, adieu! Death's fatal shadows are
hurrying thee along to a snowy grave ; yet only to
be born again in spring. how emblematic of our
own existence!
Come, share this banquet with me. Its grateful
fumes inhale; its beauties look on and admire; let
its virtne-eohoing voice thy soul subdue, and let
its sober counsels be the pilot of thy remaining
years.
You have heard of doleful sounds, mournful as
cents, and solemn echoes, of dreary scenes, gloomy
pictures, and saddening prospects. These we have
all combined in the season now before us, not in a
soul•depressing mass, but In an Infinite series of
dispensations, ever varied, ever charming, all im
bued in divine light and immersed in divine love.
Bow beautiful the dying foliage of autumn, as it
wares majestically around me ! An age would be
too short to imbibe its delicious inspirations.
The wild birds of the forest, isolated and. In
Rocks, are taking their departure. The merry
songsters which, but a few months since, greeted
ns in coming with their sweet love melodies, now,
conscious of having fulfilled their mission, are also
taking up their intuitive tight. But few see left!
In yonder glen, from the withered branch of a
silver maple, is heard the solemn moan of the
turtle-dove, echoing Its adieu, perhaps forever.
Near at hand, upon the pinnacle of a heavenward
branch of a sturdy oak, nicely poised, is a raps
pious hawk, with his two vigilant eyes surveying
at one time both hemispheres of all creation for his
prey. The owl, too, sleeps, and dreams in deep
regret of his starving brethren, whilst here I am
greeted with the farewell notes of the last robin of
the season; he has alighted upon the topmost
branch of the tree in which he has, during the put
season, twice reared his brood of young; for a mo
ment ho adjusts his wings, then leisurely repeats
his wonted chirp, followed bye shrill de•de-dedee,
and he, too, is off upon his annual tour, to a more
congenial clime. Thus does instinct, directed by
the Omnifio Father's hand, " feed the young raven"
and execute Ills office of preservation—
"And reason miss o'er instinct ae you oan,
In this 'tie God threote; in that 'tin man."
The husbandman's preparations for the approach
ing winter are now complete; his barns are amply
stored with that which but a few months since
charmed the eye, and delighted every beauty
loving sense. But, if this transitory vernal scene
has vanished, it has left the fulfilling of a pre
vail': in its stead. We mourn it not. Much as we
delight to gaze upon-the fragrant flowers of spring,
and the rich green tbliago of summer. 'tit but the
end of both we seek to realise. Nature's grand
temple Is bore reared complete. The azure Ar
mament above; the carpets of heaven's bounty
underneath ; the whole illuminated by the king of
light ; decorated with the thousand hues of the
frost-stricken forest, and provided with banqutt
tables, groaning beneath the weight of a divine
beneficence, and an altar, the burning incense of
which is the heartfelt gratitude of men, and sur
rounded on all sides by the mirror of our destiny.
Nero God speaks face to face; his voice is heard,
his rod is felt, and a smile beams from his counte
nance that penetrates ever, avenue of the believer's
soul. Here, too, as In his book divine, Ile tells us
what we are and whither we are bound; that " man
is indeed as grass, and his glory as the flower there
of;" that be blooms but to fade,, and lives but to
die ; yet there is a spiritual monitor within, speak
ing loudly, cheering gladly, singing ever, I never
shall knees, death !—eternity alone my race shall
end! "for me to live is Christ, to die is gain." All
other things were made but to subserve the happi
ness of man. Bleat creature of the earth! though
cursed by fortune here below, 'tie man, not God,
thy fate has planned ; but heed it not, though trials
and hardships thick thy path beset, a brilliant star
yet in the distance shines; press onward, then, the
end will make 'Wilma
As the foliage now before us inspires our admi
ration in resuming its primeval state, so it is the
prerogative of man, if be will, to elicit a still nobler
admiration as be passes through the autumn of life
tato the wintry valley of death—the end of all
(441111 i thugs.
Oh Death! what doest thou that men should
so dread thee? And the grave, wherefore is it so
saddening? Has not death long since given up its
sling, and the grave its victory ? Then, why should
mortals weep and mourn o'er this truly beneficent
dispensation of Heaven? none other in reality than
a hie-giving process—a chemical change—a law
of (Ind to which the leaves of rummer are now in
reverence bowing. Then let their example make
us wise in this.
Conception, birth, life, growth. change, decay,
and decomposition, are plainly seen to be the order
of physical nature. Those time-honored trees in
yonder forest, whose limbs have become messed
with ago, and whose tops have grown bald with
dry antiquity, aro now passing through this orient.
That sturdy oak, which long reared its massive
head (as a land-mark) to the sky, has, after the
lapse of four score years and more, shed its tact
vital spark. A ghastly skeleton it stands, unbark
ed, untested ; its lacerated limbs with brittle dry
ness fork like vivid lightning in the sky; nature's
severest resurge is no more felt by it; the dust end

ANNIVERSARY OF PIIILADELPIIIA BAPTIST SC'S
PAY Scnoobs —A very large and spirited meeting,
was held at Jayno's Hall on last Saturday after
noon, on the occasion of the anniversary of the
Baptist Sunday Schools of this city. Rev. Warren
Randolph, president of the institution, occupied
the chair, and delivered an interesting opening
address. Prayer was offered by Rev. N. 11.
and addresses were also made by J. C. Bax
ter, Esq., of New York, Rev. T. S. Malcolm, Rev.
J. Hyatt Smith, and others. The remarks of the
latter were very happily adapted to the juvenile
portion of the audience, and were received with
evident interest by all.
NIGHT PRAYER-MEETINGS IN New YORS.—Ef
forts aro now in progress to secure a large ball, in
some central location on Broadway, where prayer
meetings may be held every night throughout the
year. It is supposed that, in this way,'s large
attendance of strangers visiting the city may be
secured, and that healthful influences may be sent
to distant places. This movement is said to have
originated from what a New Yorker saw in a
recent virit to the noonday prayer•meeting in
Jayne's hall.

The New Tragedy of Geraldine at the
Walnut-street Theatre.
For The Press]
The farther we recede from civilization the more
powerful tie we find the play of the human pas-,
sions. The materialistic, character of the feudal.
ages, when all appealed to the senses—when the
eye was trained On gorgeous colors and splendid
caparisons, when to dine was to be a glutton.. and
to drink was to be a drunkard—proditeed its fruits;
in the purely acme' character of the people. Life
was looked on as of little - value; property was held
by the strongest arm and the keenest sword, and
the accomplishments of writing and reading -were
despised by everyone pretending to the rank of a
gentleman. Collections of armor were more valu
able than collections of books, and there were few
knights who would have placed in comparison a.
coat of Milanese chain mail with the Collier folio
of Shthapeare. It is an old blunder, made by
'triton of the moral history of roan, to suppose
that the luxury which la the remit of a high state
of chilizatiou, induces social depravity. Dating
from the earliest peliods, the feudal ages were, in
proportion to the existing population,..far more fer
tile in crime than the present times. Taking even
the legendary histories of Arthur—which at least
depict manners, however dubious may be _their
facts—the chronicles represent a state of morals
which is undlagnisedly degraded. The Eason
period, previous to the Norman descent, was a long
scroll of debauchery and crime, snd although Will the Conqueror and his followers brought with
them clearer and colder heads than those that mat
on the shoulders of Harold's people, they did but
little to elevate the moral condition of thkieland.

It is this tumultuous play of the passions which
renders these early periods of history more suit
able for the purposes of Tragedy than our calmer
and more intelligent epoch. The doutestie drama
naturally belongs to the present day, when send
bilities are More refined, and the passions, although
intense enough, are not so prominently exhibited.
We moderns are more ingenious and less broad in
oar intrigues and our vengeance* than the people
of the past, when the dagger and the bowl Settled
the question in the shortest and simplest manner.
Our social conflicts are more subtle and less erup
tive. The heart was formerly volcanic; its fury
was wild, and lurid, and grand, and the figures of
men, being more stalwart and technically heroic , ,
were suitable to PM a broad easier The drama
tist, therefore, who wishes to illustrate human na
ture in its largest and grandest forms, naturally
seeks for a subject in those times, when contrasts
were so strong, costumes so splendid, hatred so
bitter, and vengeance so decisive.

dere the play highly interesting as a careful study of
manners, and an exponent of human passions com

hibited themselves with a lawlessness which is ad
mirably suited to dramatics effect.
Setting aside for a moment the picturesque ele
ments of "Geraldine," as we shall have occasion
to speak of them hereafter, we cannot bat feel
astonished at the wonderful emotional power dis
played by the authoress all through this tragedy.
Effective as the piece undoubtedly is, from a stage
point of view, the main interest depends far more
on the evolution of the gory, the felicity" of the
language, and the feeling of mournful sympathy
which the sad lot of the heroine excites, than on
striking situations or effective tabliau.r. " Geral
dine" opens in an atmosphere of health and joy.
The heroine 1w young, beautiful, and betrothed.
The intestine Ars with the Welsh are ended, and
the land rings with revel and caramels ; foes are re
conciled, and the olive branch blooms with a prodi
gality of leaves. But in the midst of the high was
sail, held in the grand ball ethos Bunn de Lacy, tame
heroine's father, when the revel is mad and the
laugh is loud, and the full flagons are speedily
empty, and knight and vassal are replete with
good cheer, the "writing on the wall" suddenly
appears, and disaster flare its deadly wings over
the banquet table. An unknown bard stalks mto
chant—as is supposed—some of those wild national
sagas for which his race was famous. Bet, it
place of the wild lyric of the heroic deeds of the
ancient British heroes, he chants a terrible ryth
mical history of the wrongs inflicted on his own
family, by the strong-handed Baron in whose pre
sena. he stands. Murder, violation, captivity,
exile, are the motives of the strain be sings. The
shaft flies home. The lordly. tyrant is stung. The
bold minstrel is condemned to death, bnt not be
fore he has launched a tremendous curse on the
house of De Lacy—the consequences of which
form the secret spring of the tragedy until its
close.
Here let us remark a most artistic point male
by Mrs. Bateman. In this tremendous conelusien
of the first act, when all is passion and confusion,
and the prophetic denunciations. of the wronged
minstrel hiss like weapons of destruction through
the air. and the heroine on whose bead the curse
is specially intended to alight grows pale and hag
gard, and at last faints. at the feet of the prophetic
harbinger of wo, the curse seems to work, as it
were, from the moment of its utterance, and a cer
tain gloemy, supernatural element is cast over the
termination of the act, which excites speculation,
and consequently interest. In reality, the fulfil
ment of this curse is wrought out by natural means
—the machinations of the son of the bard—but F.
skilfully and subtly are all bread revelations
avoided that It is only in the very last act that the
audience is positively assured that the bard-begot
ten prior is the author of the baron's death, the
heroine's sickness and deformity. and the villaineut
story of her sister's perfidy.
Viewed 4 as a dramatic whole, the tragedy or
" Geraldine " is distinguished by great simplicity
of movement. The situations result naturally, and
there is no complication. The story is told with a
broad strength which cannot fan to enlist the popu
lar attention. Them arc few episodes, and these
few are wisely confined to the first act, which,
however, terminates with so grand an effect 11 to
obliterate any sensation of weariness which may
result from the earlier scenes. Prom this point
out the tragedy flows with a constantly increasing
current of interest. Act after act the torrent of
the play is swollen with tributary stress-3 of dra
matic event. until, at length, in its passion and its
strergth, it inundates the public heart, and ferti
lizes it into a wholesome harvest of tears.
The stage production of this piece deserves more
than a word. Mr. Ileister has displayed much
knowledge in the various scenes which be has
p.tinted. Ills tapestry chamber was a marvel of
reality, enable cloisters were absolutely dolmens—
a species of building of which scene-painters have
generally a very vague idea.
Mrs. Weller's perfunnanee of the very diZeult
port of Geraldine war-if rather too subdued in
the first three acts—positively grand in the fourth
ant fifth. Her termination of the fifth act, where,
over the fainting form of her sister, she proclaims
the iodation of her heart, was sublime in its in
tensity. Mrs. Waller is evidently an actress of
great reserved power, and we have no doubt that,
as she feels more at home in the part, her acting
wilt be more equal than it was last night. Her bu
siness in the last act, at the rritino table , expres
sive of the faintness and agony of approaching
death, wee admirable, bather subsequent anathema
of the false priest was scarcely forcible enough; for
there are situations in which moral indignation acts
as a counter•irritaut to physicsl pain, and alt cease
of suffering is obliterated in the desire for ven
geance. This lady's costumes were truly spiendil,
and characterized by the best possible haste. We
congratulate her on having hal the courage to be
true to the period. and to adopt a dress character
istic rather than becoming,.
Mr. Shewell's Prior was so entirely faultless,
that no criticism is necessary, beyond the state
ment of our conviction that he is the best serious
young man that we know of now on the stage. ills
delivery is unaffected, his voice harmonious, and
his emphasis appreciative and forcible.
Mr. Perry, in the weird character of the Bird,
created a sensation whkh his admirable make-nys
and very forcible acting fully justified. "Geral
dine" promisee to have a long and succesFild
run. as
