The Assyrians used to have their palates and
their hanging-gardens, and, though these were not

habits of tbe world, private gardening has become
of more account than publio. We feel disposed to
cultivate the beautiful both for itself and for our
selves. Spring is advancing, and the many cultiva
tors Of fruit and bower are anticipating the de
mands of summer. All through the winter both
flower and fruit have been sedulously cultivated in
parlors, drawing-rooms, and boudclrs. Hanging-bas
kets (the nineteenth century specimen of hanging
gardens, grown small by degrees and beautif uUy less)
have even become fashionable—so much so, indeed,
that when a visitor enters a dimly-lit parlor, the first
tiling he Is aware of is that he has run his nose
against some odor-breathing rose, suspended from’
the chandelier. All the gigantic proportions or the
ancient world, even as respects gardening, are lost
in the present diminutive generation. We are be
coming equalized. Instead of boasting stupendous
terraced gardens, which will rerflain forever isolated
in fame, we can take a tranquil satisfaction in quiet,
domestlo pleasure grounds. The blooms and blos
soms of April and May are ripening delicately. Now
is the time when fruit, and Sower, and vegetable
gardens should meet with greatest care; when all
Winter work should be ended ;wheu those flowering
Blrrubs, whfih flower from tbe new growth, should
have been severely pruned; when those which flower
from the wood ripened last year, should have been
'judiciously, thinned out ■ when, if the harmony of
completeness is to be given to the summer garden,
shrubbery should be planted in the smaller spaces,'
and when the soil should have been impregnated
with all the blushing brightness of ripe summer.
Perhaps what most of - our suburban villas need
more than any thing else are suitable summer houses.
A city country house is a hybrid affair, and its ad
juncts should at least partake of the oity character
as much as of the country. A rustic summer-house
may be very pretty and pioturesque, in a rustic
neighborhood, but it is as inharmonious, attached to
a suburban residence, as a country clotvn would be
in the boudoir of the flne woman of fashion. A de
gree of formality is indispensable In architecture,
which has become citified, if such a term be admissible.
Acd not only should the summer-house possess an
elegance corresponding externally with the mansion,
but its interior might be furnished with that taste
which the requirements of luxury demand. There le
reason in all things, we are told; but, nevertheless,
there are a great many things oontrary to reason-
What motive can any intelligent landholder have—
and let ub hope all landholders are intelligent—in
annexing to his summer palace an lnsigniflcantutue
outhouse, which he calls a summer-houße, ana which
looks more like a small barn than anything else 1 If
his wealth is sufficient to support a handsome villa,
aa well aa to attend to thoie claims which the pre
sent ciroumstanees of the country render so urgent,
It is enough to enable him to refine upon refinement,
and preserve a suitability to each other in those
luxuries it permits him to accumulate. The beauty
of both the interior and exterior of our summer resi
dences might also be enhanced by greater attention
to coloring, to the effect of a due admixture of light
and Shade and neutral tints. When it is remem
bered that the colors of chestnut and chocolate,
fawn and drab, or pearl gray, cream and freeatone,
orange and drab, straw or buff, and French gray,
and so forth, harmonize with one another, less diffi
culty will be found in educing a beautiful effect
where these neutral tints are employed. The deco
rative alt, and particularly that branch of it which
unitea itself with the useful, Is not thoroughly un
derstood, even among those wealthy and educated
classes who have done much to encourage it.
In the vegetable gardens, especially, of both rioh
and poor, evidence of this is abundant. Because a
thing is useful, that is no reason why it should be
beautiltal. Menandwomeuareveryuseful animals;
indeed, they are indispensable to each other;, but if
they were all beautirul, like the angels in heaven,
bow much better they would be pleased with one
another, and with their looking-glasses! So with
vegetable gardens. Vegetable gardens know that, as
vegetable gardens, they are anything but beautiful.
Of eourte there is a moral beauty hidden in a cab-
bage, (before it is pickled,) just as there maybe
much moral beauty hidden In a human being who
hia a pug note, a ’mouth like a half open oyster,
•anguinary hair, and the eyas of an albino. The
sides of the beds of kitchen gardens are usually in
etraight line*, and it it almost indispensable that
they should be to; still, the corners might be round
ed OS', just as the corners of an angular character
are smoothed, and occasionally the oourae of the
bedi might be circumambient, yet admitting
straight lines Within them. Vegetable gardena are
seen not only from the house; they are teen alto
from the road. The rounded corners of the plats
would furnish, in the middle ofthe garden, space for
the erection of a cistern or a tool-house, which
might be in sufficient taste to add to, rather than
diminish, the pleasing aspect of the grounds.
Very beautiful yet inexpressive articles of decora*
live culture are tbe different classes of ferns. They
love shady and sequestered nooks, where they
would never be noticed except by those who love
and look for them. Their elegant fronds and fea
thery structure carpet the damp Wildwood with *
green and luxuriant elasticity. In the green-house
and conservatory, particularly, they provide a deli
cious background, on which the brilliant dowers of
the tropics seem actually to pant and throb. Shade
and water their delioate verdure must have. Most
varieties, including tbe common and more showy
oneß, with contracted flower-spikes, tbe maiden
hair and lady ferns, the sweet-scented, and the pale
green delicate swamp ferns, have been easily pro
curable. They form a modest embellishment to any
place in Which they bloom, and in their gentle beauty
suggest ihe "ornament of a meek and quiet spirit.”
Now that the warm breath of spring is looked for,
lets time will be devoted to indoor plants. Besides,
the most ambitious, even, of lady floriculturists na
turally devotee more time to her nursery of chil
dren than her nursery of flowers, and, with all
her loving devotion, is as apt to kill one with kind
ness as the other. It is a thought worth considering
that, whilst our cemeteries are decked with beauti
ful and expensive, and even magnifleent monuments,
they are comparatively unadorned with the culti
vated offsprings of nature. Here and there a life
less nosegay reposes upon the yet wintry sod, and
straggling vines and bushes droop over slabs washed
clean by the newly-melted snow. In the fresh days
of spring the germs of all beautiful flowers should
be planted in the bosom of the oonsecrated mounds,
bo that When the summer shall shed abroad the
light of it, golden beauty these last resting-places of
the dead may be clad with a sweetnec preclou, and
emblematic to the living.
A Letter from Hon. Edward Bates.
One of the lady manager, or the Brooklyn Sani
tary Fair addressed a letter to Attorney General
Bates, soliciting. hie autograph and a sentiment,
Here is hi, reply: .
WASHINGTON OITV,Feb. 2, 1864.
To .
Madam : Being confined to my alek room, I have
an opportunity, which neither my public office nor
the court room affords, to acknowledge your note of
January 30, written in behalf of the Brooklyn and
Long Island Fair, and in aid of the Sanitary Com
•ion*
You ask for an autograph, unconditionally, and
for a. sentiment, “If agreeable.” Now, my dear
ladynm autograph is a cheap thing and can. be easily
furnished, whether sick or wtll; but» Bentiment is
quite another affair, and doe, not sott very well
with the nauseous physio which I am required to take
today.
Nevertheless, the cause being so good, and withal
Its advocate a lady, (to which high authority I
habitually bow,) I must strain a point and try to
give you something sentimental, but not of the sick*
lj kind.
I am beginning to grow old, and am a very old
fashioned man; for, in apite of the rushing current
of new opinions, I still believe that we onoe had'
good old times, good old principles, and good old men
to profess them and aetthem out, and a good Con
stitution worthy to be preserved to the latest pos
terity.
In fact, I begin to suspect myself to be little or no
thing better than an old jogy; for I ean’t help he.
lievlng, with Jackson, that the constitutional Union
of the States must be preserved; and I still have un
doubting laith In Washington when he warns us
that we cAnnot preserve our free Institutions with
out a ficqucnt recurrence to the first principles of
our Government.
That 1s my sentiment, Madam. I fear it is grow
ing very unpopular, but I cau’t help that. God
knows that I would help It If I could, for I have little
hope of improvement Irom the efforts of men who
fancy themselves so much wiser than their fathers
were', and so muoh better than the laws whioh they
made for our goed.
With love for your cause, and respeot for yourself,
I remain your obedient servant,
EDWARD BATES.
Mb, Mason Jones on American Aveatrs.—
The Manchester (England) Guardian ot the 15th ult.
has the report of a speech In Free-Trade Hall by
Mr. Mason Jones, the eloquent English lecturer,
who visited this country last year. He gave an In
telligent account of our oivil war and ita prospeols,
and spoke warmly for the national cause, saying:
There could be no more any boundary line be
tween freedom and slavery; the country must be all
free or all slave. The slave-owning oligarchy were
the enemies of the laborer, whether black or white,
and if able would monopolize political power. Such
an oligarchy must eventuate in a military despotism.
There could be no peace between theieopposlng pow
ers ; one or the other must go down now and forever.
.Without doubt the North would prevail, not only
because their cause was just, but because they were
the descendants of the English Puritans, and with
bull-dog courage having tsken the South by the
throat, they would hold on like grim death until.they
had flung It strangled at their feet. * * * The
monarchies, the aristocracies, the plutocracies, and
the anobooracles of the old world exulted at the
prospect of the overthrow of the great Republic.
The flunkeys of Belgravia were wild with delight;
the loungers In the Pall Mall clubs sang “Te
Drumsand all the organs of the slave-owning Con
federacy in Europe uttered ories of joy; the political
Lord Dundresrys, like Mr. Beresford Hope and
Lord Robert Montagu—[great cheering]—men with
more money than brains, and more titles than com
mon sense—[loud laughter and. renewed cheers] —
shouted with Indecent exultation, because, as
they said, “ The American bubble has burst, and
we always knew It would burst; republicanism has
failed, and we always knew It would fail.” The
American war brought to light all the sham liberal
ism ot England—and there never was so muoh sham
liberalism in England as at the present moment—from
Lord Brougham, Who was in his dotage, down to the
renegade Roebuck. The whole theory or representa
tive institutions was at (take in thla Amerioan war
—namely, that the people shall be governed by the
voice of the majority. If the Americans failed, re
presentative government would fall every where, and
the ohains ol despotism would be riveted upon the
people ol Europe for the next thousand years. . The
mouths of all reformers would be shut up by the

Sketches of Parliament.
From an article in the Court Journal we copy-the
following sketches of Parliamentary notabilities:
Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald is a bright, fresh-oom
plexioned gentleman who always looks as though
he had just stepped from yacht, or moor, or breezy
downs, and was redolent of fresh air. The Under
secretary for Foreign Affairs in the last Derby Ad- •
ministration, Re ranks at least ac high ;* the mem
ber with the pronounced beard and the -lion-like
front who now fills the office and confronts him on
the Ministerial bench. A vigorous, ready speaker,
with a case whisk, If not Irrefutable, at all events is
• VBIV difficult to meet »nd to. npset,.Mr. Fitzgerald
does his party full credit, and sit, down amid en
couraging cheers with a most warlike peroration.
Sir Boundell Palmer is the champion seleoted to
do battle for the Government, and a most argumen
tative and powerful champion he always shows him
self. He is certainly the Minister who carries the
heaviest metal as an orator, and his value to tbe
Government throughout the recent discussions on
international law has been inestimable. His pale,
thoughtful, earnest face lights up ae his arguments
begin to tell, and he gradually warms to his work
and mskes his points with a force of manner of
which you would hardly have thought him capable.
The style is rather too involved. Tne sentenoec are
often too long and too complicated, and are weakened
bv over-much of parenthesis and reservation.
Mr. Horefall speaks quietly and plainly as becomes
the British merchant representative, who knows
what he wants to aay, and says it without more to
do.
On (he Ministerial bench below the gangway, a
member ha, been watching and waiting his oppor
tunity, bobbing up and down when he thought there
was an end of the philippic, and using those other
little art* which members think lawful and expedi
ent when they have a strong' desire to catch the
Speaker’* eye. A tall man, with' rugged face and
disdainful of well-trimmed locks, but keen of eye
and confident in manner, daabing Into his subject
with a quickness and impetuosity which make you
desire to know more of him. It is Mr. W. E. Fors
ter, the crack shot of the Commons, and the most
ardent Federalist there.
When Mr. Forster sits down, Sir Hugh Cairns, the
ex-Solicitor General in Lord Derby’s last Govern
ment, the Attorney General in that which is to come,
and the conservative Lord Chancellor of the future,
riser, and, disdaining smaller game, at onoe fastens
on the worthy legal opponent who has spoken inae
fence of Ministers. Sir Hugh has much ofthe Irish
dash and abandon, toned down and reflned by profes
sional training, and he hae, besides, the logical mid

Hey. A. Atwood, chairman of the Committee on
the Bible Cause, presented the report of that com*
mittee. It states that the American Bible Sooiety
has distributed to the army and navy, since the war
began, over two million Bibles and' Testaments, of
which two hundred thousand have been sent to
rebels beyond the lines, and one hundred thous&nd
to rebel prisoners of war, by permission of the
Government. The foreign interests they represent
to be In a flourishing condition, and have been
liberally provided for; and the missionary 'work is
also advsnoirg steadily. The annual contributions
to the society m improving, but the demands are
gieatcr than ever. The following resolutions ac
companied the report:
Resolved, That we gratefully acknowledge the hand of
God in the iiberality of Bis people and the prosperity of
tbift noble enterprise.
Resolved. That we have the utmost confidence in the
Anglican Bib e Society* and heartily commend It tOtAO*
continued sympathy and tupport of our ohurcces. %
Resolved; fi'kst we will prG&eh la behalf of the BibM*
-cause. take np a collection at* ash. of OUT appotntmsnta
to t aetata it. and in view of the increasing demand for
Bibles in the army and navy, we will urge upon out
congregations the necessity of very liberal contribu
tions.
The report was unanimously adopted.
O Bishop Ames tbea announced the transfer of Rev.
G. W. Brindle from the Upper lowa Conference
to this Conference, of whloh he war formerly a
member.
The Rev. J. Walker Jackson then presented the
following report of the Committee on the State of
the Country:
Whereas , A rehellion, unjust and causeless In Its ori
gin, aid Jnfemoueiy wiefced In Its objects, continues to
threaten the existence of the Government framed by the
wUdcm and sacrifice of onr fathers, and founded upon
tb« corner-stone of thefreedom and equality of all men;
and. whereas the success of the leaders in tbia unholy
lebellicß.in their avowed objects—the dissolution of oar
Bailor al Union* the dlsmemoermeni of the country, and
the establishment of a new confederacy within the pre
sent territorial limits, having for its corner-stone the
intern of hnnutn slftvery-wpMd be to imperil the ex
istence of Civil and religions liberty, which l« the life of
the nation; and w hereas. as ministers of the Lord Jesus
Cbiiet we relinquish ho rights as American citizens, bhi
' are compelled by our articles of religion to preach to all
loyalty to the powers that be. that **ars ordained of
God, we therefore
Resolve, That, as ministers and members of the Me
lt odist Episcopal Church, within the bonnes of the Phila
delphia AULual Conference, we reaffirm onr past declara
tion since this war commenced In reference tv the rebel
lion, and our pledged determination to sustain this crisis
o oornationai existence.
Rt solved, That, while we acknowledge the war as a
great national calamity, and lament the a atoll miseries
that by it are entailed upon the land in the loss of pre
cious lives, in its sad demorallzingUnfluenea, we believe
that the duty of the nation is to provocate the war. With
all its resources of men and money, until peace shall he
obtained by victory, the rebellion be completely sub
dued. the legitimate powers and authority of the Govern
ment shall oe re-established, and till the flag of the na
tion, as the emblem of the undisputed sovereignty of the
Federal Government, shall wave over every root of the
territorial domain.
Resolved, That as the Constitution of the United States,
the BnpTtme law of the land, makes it the duty of the
Government to suppress rebellion, and as Government
would be a nullity aside from Its administration, we
maintain that loyalty to the Government is only to be
understood as loyalty to the Administration of that Go
vernment, as duly elected under the Constitution, and that
in rendering to “Cseiar the things that belong
the entire, unqualified, obedience of ail under its authority
is to be rendered to the Administration, notfor wrath but
conscience*sake,and that resistance toils authority,
either by speech or action, is not only rebellion and
treason to the civil Government but to God.
Eeiolved, That while we recognize the right of citizens
to diecues the measures and policy of the Government,
we yet affirm that it is a religious duty not to (speak evil
of ministers and magistrates, and that,especially in times
like there, when the utmost wisdom is required in the
administration of civil afialrs, the right of even such
dltcusfeion is only to be exercised with great caution*
prudence, and forbearance.
Resolved, That bo far &e our Influence may extend, we
discountenance and condemn the concealed treason of
those who. influenced by party spirit or sympathy with
human bondage, find fault with every warlike measure,
nndtr the pretext of a discrimination between the Con
stitution as the supreme law of the land and the Ad
ministration of the Government as framed by the Con
stitution 3 hey are the secret foes of the Government,
with all the venom* but without the manliness of rebels
in open arms.
Re solved, that wo recognize In American slavery—
justly characterized by the fathers of our Church as con

Tbe Rev. Dr. Hodgion asked If what was included
in tbe resolution meant a Christian minister or po
litical minister?
Rev. J. W. Jackson said If be had meant political
ministers be would so bare stated it. Be did not
consider himself a political minister.
After tbe sixth resolution was read, Dr. Hodgion
desired to know if the substance implied anti slaver?
or .abolitionism t Although he was anti-slavery,
he could not go further than that. He stood now
as be always aid, ai conservative as he could be.
Rev. P. Coombe thought Dr. Hodgion was getting
the Conference into a wtong position. He did not
want the Doctor to impress the mind of the clergy
and the audienee with the idea that our fathers did
not oppose American slavery.
Rev. Dr. Hodgson said such wai not the meaning
of his words. He did not take the ground, nor
either did he think our fathers thought it was right
In the abstract. He believed it to be a sin under
some circumstances, and so were a great many other
things which the law of the land has not touobed.
Rev. J. W. Jackson hoped to see the day when
the Church would have neitheila alave nor a slave
holder in it.
- Rev. George Quigley said he was opposed to any
thing that would go into a partisan measure to be
acted upon by a religious body. He could not vote
on the resolutions if such was the case, as he was
opposed to auoh a measurein any ahape or form.
Rev. W. McCombs, one of the committee, explain
ed that they had aeted as a body of religious minis
ter,, and not in a partisan feeling.
The seventh resolution was adopted by a standing
vote.
Rev. J. W. Jackson made some remark, after the
eighth resolution had been passed, in relation to the
desire of the Christian Commitsion and others to be
recognized by the Philadelphia Conference.
. The preamble and resolutions were then adoptedi
by a vote ofni to none in the negative.
Rev. Dr. Sewall, of tbe Rail Baltimore Confe
rence, and Rev. Messrs. Barron and Stokes, of the
New Jcr«ey*Conference, were then introduced to the
Conference. . „ ■ ■
The Committee on Temperance made the follow
iiig report;
Wktrias. Owing largely to the tumult of the times,
and as ft bitter fruit ofthe unholy rebellion nowin pro
gress, and approaching its final effective suppression,
the popular interest in the great practical virtue of tem
perance i# much abated, and intemperance in the uae of
alcoholic drinks is flooding the land with desolation and
Wlureas, This Conference recognized the Church of
God as the great conservator of public morats, and far
niEtiss her org&hiz&tiOa and (ITLtlLOlitatlYO Utt6rfiH66B
the most enduring bases for reformation of social evils;
First. That we reaffirm our unfaltering ln
i terest in the cause of temperance-an interest whlca is
expressed in the general rule of the Methodist Episcopal
Church upon the subject. .
Resolved. Second. That we will, during the course of
the ensuing conference year, preach t > every congrega
tion within the boards of the Conference a carefully
. prepared And earnest sermon os temperance.
The report was adopted. , ■ ,
The committee appointed to nx the salaries of
■ Bishops Simpson and Scott reported the amount of
*2 500 per year for each. The report was adopted.
Rev. J- R. Bailey was then granted a location,at hie
own request, be desiiisg to finish his education at
college. _
The report of the Committee on the Traol Oauie
was read and adopted.
Tbe Committee on Education also presented their
report, with resolutions annexed, whloh excited a
lengthy debate in reference to laying a tax on every
member of the Church for 1 the benefit of Dickinson
College. They were finally passed.
Rev. P. Coombe offered a resolution directing toe
Committee on Finance to pay over the Bible money
in tbelr hands to the agents of the various societies
to which it belongs. Agreed to.
Rev. J. J. Chaplain, on leave, withdrew the
charges made yesterday against Rev. Elijah Miller.
His character was then passed.

Temple Bur, and the CornhiU Magazine, tor March
have reached ue, through the attentive kindness of
Fir. Cromer, 403 Chestnut street. We must confect
that Temple Bar has-been more readable, being better
conducted than the (SornMU, since Thackeray quitted!
the latte.. There la a new story, “It WIU out," by
Henry jSpicer, besides “The Doctor’* Wife,” bjr
Mlrs Braddon, and “ Broken to Harness,)’ by Ed
mund Yates. Mr. Sala prattles about Snargste
street, in Dover, where, he aays, the Iron Duke
once patted him on the head; the proposed Shake,
ptarien Commemoration is quietly ridiculed, as Tar
behind the time; Mareshai de Saxe is served up
again, and there ate readable papers upon “ Home
Contrails,” “A Winter at Rome and Warsaw,” be
tides a couple of poems, which last were put in, we
aurpt ct, merely to fill up apace. On the whole, how
ever, the March number of Temple Bar Isa favorable
specimen of a popular English magazine,,
In the CornhiU Magazine, where there are some
readable papers, such as the Theatre In China, the
Small House at Alllngton, the Fashion of Furniture,
and Margaret Denzel’s History, together with some
heavier articles, by way of padding—-of course,
what is moat notieeable is the sommencement of
“Denis Duval,” the posthumous and unfinished
novel by Thackeray. Three chnpters are given,
well introducing the hero, as a mere ohild in 1769,
and the heroine too—then quite a baby, but fiually
Duval’B Wife, and having the scene, thus far, alter
nately in France and England. Oddly enough, the
style reminds us rather of that arch-imitator, Sala,
(tiide his “Captain Dangerous,<’) than of Thacke
ray’s own. The third chapter strikingly ends with a
fatal duel. It is too soon, as yet, to pronounce a
decided opinion of this tale. To uis appended an
CDgravlng on steel of S. Lawrence’s portrait of
Thackeray—by no means like him in his later
years, when he was hoary and hirsute, but the
sketch, familiar here for the last dozen years,
in which the novelist has bis head well thrown
back, to keep the injured nasal feature out of
notice. The beat resent portraits of Thackeray
are those given in the Illustrated London Mews, arter
his death, and a carte de vislte, issued by Mr. J, C.
Hotten, of London, the well-known antiquarian,
who, in feed, published Mr. Theodore Taylor’s little
memoir of Thackeray, reprinted by Messrs. Apple
ton, whloh we reviewed yesterday.
A novel, entitled “Eliza Woodson; or the Early
Days of One of the World’s Workers,” has been
published by A. J. Davit Sc Co., New York. As the
head of this firm is the well known Splritualiat and
Seer, we anticipated that this would be a spirited
story, On the contrary, though ushered in by a pre
face full of rhapsody, it is a very readable tale of
American life, in which, though there is not mush
incident, there is a good deal of probability, and a
fair development of individual charaoter. The story
ends so abruptly as to appear unfinished.
Mrs, Anns. Stephen*publishes anew novel, en
titled “ The Wife’s Secret,” whloh is the best she
has produced since “Fashionand Famine,” bat not
equal to that popular aensatlonal fiction. This
new story shows more careful manipulation than
has been apparent in- ite author’s recent writings.
Natural aeetery is described very vividly, but the
pervading fault of Mrs. Stephens’ descriptions is a
verbosity which annoys the reader. In the three
opening paragraphs of the book nineteen lines are
wasted in telling us that a small freight-steamboat
(steamer, she calls It) was goiug up the HuSson on a
dsy of the Indian summer. This dlffUsenes* is
made still more evident in pages upon pages of
description of the interior ol a riob man’s resldenee
in New York—the glories of the Arabian Nights
“ pale their ineficetual fires” before the magnifioeneo
Of a house on the FlftbAvenue. Mrs. Stephens too
much affects fine writing. Here is a young girl and
her sweetheart: “ She drew toward him as a bird ol
.paradise moves in the sunshine. Her eyes shone
with lore; her mouth trembled like a cherry when
J-the bird that seeks It Is near.” With these faults,
and others, Mrs. Stephens has produced an agree
abla romance. It if improbable la gome parts; it Is
Impossible in a leading point: some of Its characters
are strained, but many parts are good. Though
somewhat spun out, the Bentleys’ visit to the
country and Daniel Hart’s story are well told.
The scenes in the gambling house are spirited and
efieotive, and ao are those in which the young
gambler Hurst and the old hypocrite Lawrence have
a passage at arms, and that In which Hurst palms
off his forged claims on Bentley. There it power,
too, in the trial scene, out West. But Bentley,
Aunt Hetty, and the two old stagers, Mesdames
FlOlt and Nicholson, are unreal, The idea of •
sharp old woman of ninety treating another dowa
ger of seventy as a mere ohild setting her cap at a
lad of twenty, is not merely ludlorous—it is absurd.
.Dinah, the colored servant, with her studied Mala
propism of language, and these given with bad spell
ing, is a dead weight on the tale. We are com
pelled to say, also, that Mrs. Ransom, the au
thoress, is a sketch very muoh out of drawing.
The town and country lovers, Woodworth and
Downs, are drawn with discriminating fact, and
the cousins, Gillian and Martha, are well adapted
to be helps meet for such true men. The organic
error ofthe story is its giving particulars or the trial
of Hart for killing Bentley, who, after all, has
not been slain. We cannot Imagine any place in
this country, having a lawfully-elected judge,
Where a man could be tried for-hie life, on a
charge of murder, simply because another man with
whom he had latest been seen was missing. It
has latterly become the fashion for female novelists
to introduce crime Into their several fictions. Mrs.
Henry 'Wood and Mias Braddon almost Invariably
do this, hut they make no blunders la their aecounte
of law and legal procedure—they probably have
these things looked to and revised by properly-in
formed persons. Our American female novelists, on
the contrary, appear to Imagine what they write of
law-matters, Mrs. Southworth, we reoolleet, wrote
a novel, scene in England, With a trial in Conrt as a
leading IcOldent, in which she Introduced " the dis
trict attorney”—such an official not being known
across the Atlantic, where John Bull will not even
have a publio proseoutor! We repeat our opinion
that “ The Wife’s Seoret” Is the best story that Mrs.
Stephenahas written alnce " Fashion and Famine.”
We have glanced at some of its faults, but have
pleasure in adding that Mrs. S. here, as In all her
writings, takes a high moral tone, and produces sen
sational efieots only by legitimate means. Her
characters, young and old, have the merit of con
versing very naturally. “ The Wife’s Secret" is
published by T. B, Peterson & Brothers.
Mr. Burnbam, of Boston, has just brought out a
novel entitled “ AWoman’a Hansom,” written by
F. W. Bobinson, an English author, not one of
whose previous works It has been our fortune
to read, or even to bear or. The itory is in the
autobiographical form, and profesiei to be told by
one Canute Gear, a young London architect, who
goes to build a mansion in the wilds of Cumberland,
(tbe scenery of which is described With surprising
realty and truth,) and there woos and wins a fair
young widow to be bis wife. The characters are
few. The Gear family, the lady whom the hero
weds and her brother, a wild country gentleman
called 11 Mad Winfoid,” Mrs. Hay and her daugh
ter, and a Scotch servant called Janet. Neither
Is there much Incident, and there la a dash of
Improbability in parts of that. But the tale is very
well told s the interest rarely flogs, and the surprise
at the olose is unexpected. The dlreotness of the
narrative la also a good point, and the total absence
of ambitious diction and diflUied verbosity is
another.
"Worth and Wealth; or, Jessie Dorr." la the
last Issued of the juvenile seiies oalled "The Beilin
Stories.” It is published by Graves A Young, Bos
ton, and relates the adventures of a young girl who
has bad to struggle with poverty, who yields to the
temptation of curiosity, and finally oomes dear out
of the trial.
An admirable likeness of the late Archbishop
Hughes, engraved on steel by A. B< Walter, has
been published, and Is now sold by Eugene Cummls

It is equally desirable as a fine portrait and a good
woikof art.
