Mils Brewster's Art-Novel.4"
This unpretending narrative, so llfe•like that it
seems rather like the fragment of a real antohiogra
pby than a work of !lotion, differs in kind from
every other novel with widish we are acquainted.
Almost destitute of plot, It yet charms the ;reader
by its elevated tone, its refined taste, its uitudeal
periods, and the quiet artistic beauty of the pic
tures it presents.
The story is simply this : An American woman,
Fanny Fanvette, who has been overwhelmad by a
great sorrow—the loss, it would seem, of so 4e dear
friend—retiree to a valley in Switsterland to seek
quietness and pease away from so-oalled Mends.
There she settles down in the family of a Pipfesacr
Bouvreuil, and Ands a tranquil home for, many
years. In her book she simply paints the @Sentry,
and draw, the characters which surround her in
that home.
Miss Brewster adds to an acquaintanoe with
French, German, and Italian the knowledge of a
language seldom, indeed, mastered by British and
American writers—to wit, the English. she is
mistress of the art of word painting, and She in
terprets the language of music into the language of
words in a manner which shows her mutely , over
both Afa natiea per la vrusiea, when she touches
upon her favorite topic she is always eloquefit:
"Music is the only true language fit to Impress some
emotions of the soul. Such is the inferiority, of oar
mortal nature. that our words never express to others.
nor to ourselves, that which we are feeling deeply. Let
the warm tide of some noble feeling, wins generous ap
preciation, some tender sympatnnwell up ia our; heartr,
and we are speechless ; or, if we attempt to speak, we
utter only the same words and expressions wil should
use hourly in tho most insignificant conversations; the
hot tears rush to our eyes, our pubes throb, out whole
being palpitates, but we rest dumb. We elan produce
the physical cries of the animal; but we cannot. when
expressing come keen emotion of grief or Joy oti admi
ration of beauty, ea seen in works of Nature or 'Art, at
tain by words the delicate poetical feeling we Wish to
expr ems. We cannot give the cry of the soul, A grand
generous emotion does not ask to be materially repre
sented by words; these are too realistic, and siva either
an Ines ni6cant or false impression of that which is stir
ring within us. Only in Music do we find the exPresaion
interpreted intelligibly."
The thing has often been geld before, but who
has ever said it so well ?
" Compensation" is full of little touebel of ge•
nins, the outpourings of a heart purified by "groa t
sorrow—sad, but not morbid in its„sadneu. I
abound' In pathos—a quiet, refined, natural pa
thos, like llawthorne's—no sickly sentimentalism
and the spirit which breathes through it scents like»
the pure and delicate fragrance of the ml netts
It will be especially a favorite with the 114 sex.
In this world roan does not lire by bread, alone;
still lees, it may be said, does woman.
It is true that, to a person ignorant of mute u a
science, there is, perhaps, too much art-talk ; but,
then, the style is so perfect, that one reads with
pleasure—even when he cannot wholly understand.
One gets a pleasing glimpse into the artist-trorld—
a world by itself, like that formed by the drotees
of any other branch of human knowledge. The
writer is an accomplished Philadelphia lady.

GLANCES AT NEW BOOKS
The crowded state of our columns, at the Season
when an army of advertisers will oomonMicate

so unusually brief, that, when the pressers La over,
we must return to many volumes now Naimoli men

long-expeoted "Diary of the American Revolu
tion," with numerous portraits and views, witeh i.

When tplealterntits, we shall have a long aches
of this remarkable work.
Ticknor a. Fields, Boston, have publlahed'" The
Crusades and the Ontsadere," by John 0. Adger,
with eight illustrations by Julian Punch. ,It is
the very romance of Idatery—all true, yet reading
like the work of a brilliant imagination. From
the same publishers we bare another of Captain
Mayne Reed's exciting stories in the Robinson
Crusoe manner. It is called "The BoiTar ;
Or, a Voyage in the Dark," and takes the, guise
of an autography related by Philip Poster, an
old mariner, It has surprising vraiserrib4anee,
and relates how a poor lad, eonoealed in the hold
of arose', made his &et voyage. We particularly
would draw attention to the twelve illustrations
by Charles B. Keene, a rising English artist—some,
with the single figure of the boy, have the eEeot of
Millais' designs.—We also have from Ticknor k
Fields, "New Miscellanies," by Charles Kingsley,
a bold thinker and earnest writer. It contains his
more recent contributions to the leading English
periodicals, and his graphic introductions of, Bun
yen's Pilgrim's Progress and Brooke's Fool of
Quality. A great book, this, with its depth cf
thought, picturesque grans, and wonderful power
of expression.
Gould k Lincoln, Boston, have published a
charming gift-book, which will probably send one
half of next rummer's wanderers to study the pio
turesque of mountain scenery. The book, vary
beautifully brought out in all respects, is named
" The White Hills ; Their Legends, Landscape, and
Poetry." The author is Thomas Starr King, of
Boston, and there are sixty illnetradons, engraved
by Andrew, from drawings by Wheelock, also a Mi s'
sachusetts man, we believe. The White Moun
tains stand in New Hampshire, and author and ar
tist tell us and show us all about them. A more
luxurious volume of travel has rarely been pro-
duced. The author describes what he has seen
and what others have seen, and illustrates his de
sariptions by copious and apposite selections from
the best poetry of America and England. The le
gends and traditions related are full of interest.
The account of Ethan Crawford, the gentle giant
of the White Mountains, is imbued with peed° feel
ing—yet we believe It wholly true. We dismiss
this beautiful volume, for the present, with a strong
recommendation to buy it. From Gould a Lin
coln we also have " Gotthold's Emblems," written
by Christian Feriver, Minister of Madgebnrg In
1671, translated from the 28th German edition by
the Rey. Robert Menalea, Haddam, England, A
remarkable volume which is now first put into
English, after nearly two centuries of unbounded
popularity in German homes. It is a volume of
brief apologues in which, with high devotional feel
ing, whatever meets the hero's notice upon earth
points a moral towards something beyond the
earthy; f. e. the invisible is illustrated by the viel
ble. Truly, a rich book of devotional literature.
"Sir Rohan'a Ghost," a romance, published by
J. E Tilton it Co., Boston, has excited no small
attention in that Athens of the East. It has mart*
any incident, and very few dramatis por.sone. It
is, in fact, a psychological story, written, in part,
with great affluence of language, but deficient in
the element of probability. It is a strange book,
apparently the fruit of a scholar's fancy. We read
every line of it, and lingered, now and then, in ad.
nitration, over some fine word-painting of scenery.
But the great misfortune of the book is that the
thoughts are overlaid by the multipUeity of the
words. The writer, if he try his hand again, mast
prune this exuberance, and mingle the actual with
the faneiful much more than he has done here.
T. B. Peterson a Brothers base sagsolottaly re
membered that, at the present genial season, peo
ple have to feed ILI well as to read. They have
accordingly brought out, in extra boards, with
gilt edges, their three popular books as cuisine.
These are Miss Leslie's New Cookery Book, which
has long had a deserved popularity; Mrs. Male's
New Cook Book, which has a capital index; and
Mrs. Wlddetield's New Cook Book, eminently
practical, and mat intelligible in Its language.
Messrs. Peterson have a new edition of " Courtship
and Matrimony," by Robert Morris, formerly editor
of the Inquirer.
From Messrs. Peterson we have "The Old Bat
tle-Ground," by J. T. Trowbridge, one of the very
beet juvenile stories of the lemon, published by
Sheldon h Co , of New York.

Petersona hare also sent to some publications
front Mayhew .t Baker, Boston. These are " The
Skater's Pocket Companion," which can almost
teach any one to skate before he ventures on the
ice; " Home Songs for Little Darlings," a well
selected collection of poems adapted for young
people; and "The sing of the Golden River,"
written by John Ruskin, the art critic, and illus
trated by John Doyle. This last is well got up,
and the story, which is wild and wonderful, is well
related. It was written, 1111841, without any TN,
to publication.
G. G. Evans, Chestnut street, has a new took for
young folks, with colored illustrations upon tinted
paper, called "The Child's Book of Fairy Tales"
containing nine capital stories, not one of which
we ever read before. It is neatly got up, but Its
great merit is its originality.

Fi g ' The Southern Opposition and beitpendent
newspapers are beginning to speak out beldii
against the disunion clamors. The Itiehatosil
(Va.) News, for example, says that if either Wise
or Hunter can see the way to a nomination for the
Presidency, we will bear no mare threats of dis
union, and that no man of any sense belletta that
such an wont as the dissolution of the Union la
likely to happen. Bays the News:
"He who professes to hay* deliberately weighed
the consequenees to Virginia alone of a &moieties
of this Constitution—viewed even in Its conse
quences to Virginia, and her slave property, and
her other material in terses--mni professes to desire
disunion, is a eonosited simpleton, et an empty
blockhead, or something worse than either.
"Of all the States of this Union,'lt is demonstra

State In this Union that would gain as Little and
endure so much by disunion as this glorious old
State. Calm, deliberate, pains-takins and inform

VIRGINIA AND PILININLVANIA.-00T. Win en
3ionday sent a message to the Virginia Legisla
ture, enclosing a communication from a eammittee
of a public meeting of the eitisess of Philadelphia,
tendering to the State of Virginia, as an uprooted=
of their sympathy for the lite invasion of her ter
ritory, and of their devotion to the Union, • ban
ner, which the Governor, in hie reply, promised
should be presented to the General Ammo Sly. The
tag is the gift of " the eithens of Philadelphia,
irrespeetive of party," who pledge "a Union of
Hearta, • Union of Hands, and the lbw of oath
Union forever."
Gov. Wise, in reply, says:
" With that pledge, I gratefully and affection
ately swept the beautiful ling which has been re
calved, and is now unfurled in our Capitol, for a
Commonwealth which gars a 'Lennon to Carpon
ter's Hall for the day of the 4th of July, MS, and
a Washington to make the declaration of that day,
from that good.
" Your sympathy, air, is the sympathy of patri
otism. It 13 the beating of hearts to hearts in bo
soms which feel as our fathers felt towards each
other. It would have bean strange and unnatural
Indeed, if any other feeling than this had glowed
forth from Philadelphia. And you may rely upon
It that we still hare oontidenea in, and love for, the
patriots of Pennsylvania. Your State, in the lat•
disturbance of our peace, has acted the part of •
sister State. We rely upon her loyalty to eonser
votive principles, as they are embodied in our Con
stitution of Union, and we are assured that the
mass of her citmens would be our brothers in arms
against any wrongs to either Commonwealth. It
is for that reason that I 000ldently appealed to the
authorities to be vigilant to restrain those who
would assail our peace and safety ; and it is be
cause of our sincere desire to preserve the Union
that we are impelled to ask not only 13t sympathy
from the people In their primary , assemblies, but for
the unction of conservative laws to anions the
obligations of the Constitution."
rir Mr. Grover, on the 13th, introduced into the
Legislature of Kentucky a resolution instrueting
Representatives and Senators from the State, in
Congress, to urge upon the treaty-mating power of
the Government the necessity of inserting in the
treaty of 1842 * provision making the rendition of
fugitives from labor equally binding upon Great
Britain with that of those from justice. The reco.
lotion was unanimously adopted.
Iltire are some half-down slaves living In
Nebraska, owned as house servants by Southern
officeholders ; and to prevent Tartan eneevaeh

been introduced into the Territorial Legislature,
providing for Its abolition, which has paned to a
