THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAM. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22 18CG. LITERATURE. JIEV1KW OF NEW BOOKS. Jit King's Rinh. Dy Theodore Tilton. New York: 11 urcl A HoughtoD. Philwlclphia Agents: tUntth, English A Co. The chlr f merit of the tittle work before us onits In the exquisite stvle in which it Is published. It is printed in colors on Bristol feoud, and each verse is headed by an ; ap ropriate illustration. Typographically, it is worthy of a place among the most appropriate terns f0r Christmas gifts. The literary execn toon f the work does not add anything to Mr. Tilton's fame. It is such an effusion as any man of ordinary literary ability could throw ffon a spare evening. It has evidently not kctn well matured, and is pretty, without possess ing any of the elements of strength. Its metre and idea ore not original, both kaving been adopted by Judge Conrad in his Dream." The last verse is decidedly obscure. Our Judgment of it confirms us in our prevlou pinion, that Mr. Tilton is a good editorial writer, but is not qualified. by nature for the production of poetry. As the work is short, we Append it In full: Once in Persia reigned a king, Who Hpon his signet-ring (iraved a maxim true and wiae, Which, irheld before his eyes, (Jave Lim counsel, at a glance, Pit lor every chance or chance: holemu words. aLd these are they: "Kven this shall pas away 1" Train of camels through the sand Brought him gems front Samarcaud; Fleets of galleys through the sea Brought him pearls to match with these. But be counted not as gain Treasures of the mine or main. "What is wealth ?" the king would say, 'Even this shall pass away.' " In the revels of his court, At the zenith of the spoit. When the palms of all his guests Burned with clapping at his jeals, lie, aDiid his ties and wine, died, "Oh! loving lrionds of mine! Measure comes, but not to stay: ' Even this shall pus away.' " Lady fairent ever seen Chose he lor his bride and queeu. Omened upon the marriage-bed, Whispering to his soul, he said, "Though a bridegroom never pressed Dearer bosom to his breast, Mortal flesh must come to clay : ' Even this shall pass away.' " Fighting on a furious field, Once ajavcliu pierced his shield. .Soldiers with a loud lament Bore him bleeding to his tent. Groaning from his tortured side, 'Tain is hard to bear," he cried; "But, with patience day by day, 1 Even this ahall pass away.' '' Towering in the pubjic squaru, Twenty cubits in the air, Rose his statue carved In stone. Then the king, disguised, unknown, Stood before his sculptured name, Musing meekly, "What id lame ? Fame is but a slow decay: ' Even this uball pass away.' " Struck with palsy, aere and old, Waiting at the Gates of Gold, Bpake he with his dying breath, "Lite is done, but what is death ?" i Then, in answer to the king, fell a sunbeam on his riue, Miowing by a heavenly ray "Even this shall pass away." Tnr. Sanctuary. A Novel. By George Ward Nichols. New York : Harper & Brothers. Philadelphia Agents: J. B. Lippineott & Co. The kind of engravings which illustrate "Ihe Sanctuary" tend to belie its character. Inferring from them, we should say that the Action be longed to the class of which the "Delaware's Demon," or the "Bloody Buccaneer," are the types. It is, however, merely u harmless fungus sprisging from our civil war, and of no more or less value than the thousand and one similar sketches which have inundated the American literary world for the past three years. We have grown weary of deploring the appearance of this class of vapid and purposeless works; and had we not already exhauuted the subject, we. might repeat all our arguments against war novels in the case of "The Sanctuary." It is a min gling of fact and fancy. It treats of the lives of slaves and the heroism of soldiers. It covers, In fact, all the ground of the conventional mili tary novel, and, possessing no special quality, deserves to be placed on our shelf of neatly bound work?, which are ouly useful as presents to friends not possessed of too discriminating a Jiterary taste. The Kace fob Wealth. A Novel. By Mrs. J. H. Riddell. Harpers. New York. J. B. Lip pineott & Co., Philadelphia. This authoress is already well known by her admirable, though rather prolix work, "Maxwell ' Prewitt." The present work is as excellent as its predecessor. It treats, as do all the productions of the pen of Mrs. Riddell, of the sacrifice of everything on the part of a young man to acquire wealth. It is well written, possesses considerable power iu plot and character, aud 1 -will repay the time expended iu reading it. Tde Arabian Nights' Entertainments. ANew Edition, with Illustrations. By Ruv. G. F. Townsend. New York: Hurd ft Houghton. Philadelphia Agent: Afhmead, No. Tii Ches nut street. Every one who kuows the alphabet, and has reached the age of tea years, has read the "Arabian NiRiits." Tlie edition now Issued by "Messrs. Hurd & Houghtou lays claim to patron age on two grounds: First, the omission, of cer tain parages hardly proper for juvenile ears; and, second, brief notes illustrating the man ners of the Orientals. We do not know exactly what, passages the reverend anuotator has deemed improper; hence we cannot say' how far his-first claim extends. The second one is a useful addition to the work. Tne present edition is admirably got up, aud will be among the most acceptable of those otl'erings which Young America expects at the holidays. TriE : Soldier's Orphan. By Ann S. Stephens. Philaiielphiat T. B. Peterson & Brothers. We have read the advauce sheets of the last , of Mrs. Stephens' fictions, and lhid it equal to the beet efforts previously achieved by that lady. Whatever adverse criticisms may .have been meted oui to her on account of the improbability of certain scenes in her works, no one can deny' that sue pos sesses in a, degree the power of producing a most amusing novel. "The Soldier's Orphans" is not unnatural, aa "The Gold Brick" appears to be, but is a tale of the children of volun teera simple story which probably actually has occurred a score of times within the past fve yearg.. K psoves that the pathos displayed in "Fashlou and Famine" is still within the central of the. Writer, and that ue tun weave a Tinted fiction out of cvery-day events as well as from the weird and strange details with which come of her productions abound. Heretofore Mrs. Stephens has been chiefly celebrated for her creative powers. 1 Her imagination is vivid, and her powers of description of the first order. Her last work reveals her to us in the field ol the natural, and not ol the commonplaces of life. The scene of her story is laid in our very initial, and possesses nn additional interest from dealing in facts still fresh iu the public mind, and with events which have not yet lost their power to etii the blood with the enthusiasm of patriotism. The following lines were quoted in a lecture delivered a few evenings since by the ReT. Dr. Crowell, of this city. As they are peculiarly beautiful in their metaphor, and doubtless new to our readers, we publish them below: A traveller throueh a dirty road Strewed acorns on the lea, And one took root, and sprouted up, And grew Into a tree. Love sontrht its shade at eventide, To breathe its early vows, And age was pleased, in heat of noon, To baek beneath its boughs. The robin loved its dangling twigs, The birds sweet must!; bore. It stood a glory In its place, A bieaing evrmore. "Ho a thinker dropped a fruitful thought, Twas old, and yet 'twas new, A simple c reature of the brain, But strong in being true. The thought was small, Us issue great A watch-fire on the hill; It hbed its radiance tar adown, And cheers the valley still. O ccm ! O light I O word of love l U thought at random castl Ye were but little at the first, But mighty at the last 1" "Gkebk for LiiiLE Scholars" is the title of a primary work on Greek, in which the letters and names of familiar objects are illustrated by wood-cutR. If any parent desires to teach .a child of under ten years old the rudiments of Greek, we recommend to him the work before u. Mr. Howard Ciiallen has commenced the publication of a Booksellers', News Dealers', and Stationers' Circular, to promote uniform trade lists. It is semi-monthly, and is neatly printed, on good paper. It contains a full list of all the publications of the day, and will be found most serviceable to the members of the trade. A Newspaper Success. A newspaper man has just been elected to the Massachusetts State .senate from Cbarlestown, whom lew, except his own class of readers, have even yet heard of, yet, with one exception, he is the most success mi proprietor in Mew Eugland, This person is Mobs A. Dow, who publishes the Waeeriey Magazine. Twenty-tive years ago, when the Milierite excitement neaan, Mr. Dbwhad a small book printing office in Boston. He secured the printing of Joshua V. Himos, who was the busi ness man of the sect, and as there was a great deal of it, he made a pretty little sum by the arrangement. This he lost in real estate invest ments, and, the Milierite fever being over, had no opportunity to redeem himself. He then went to work at the case as a Journeyman printer. Not being a very good one, he found it hard to farn more than from six to ten dollars a week in those days. With a family on his hands, this made him very poor. He then conceived a unique plan for a newspaper. It was to be a weekly "literary" periodical, to which every one should contribute who desired. Taere was co be no standard of merit for admission of writers to its columns. On the contrary, nothing was to be excluded. It was to be comparatively very expensive in its typography and papsr, but not a cent should be paid to authors, their compensation buing the privilege of appearing in print with the best type and the best of nancr. The project seemed ivild one. Mr. Dow had not a cent of capital, and as be un folded his plan to Jtype-tounders and paper men, no one had the least confidence In it. It was a long time before he could get credit and cash for his first number, but these were at last obtained, and by working closely himselt. he succeeded in netting it out. It took instantly Its first appearance was very handsome, for he had capital typographical taste. Tbe people who wrote for it first bought, and then their friends followed suit. There was an enormous amount ot reading in it, and contributions piled in from ambitious tolks, who found a new sensation in not having their stones and poems rejected. Soon there was a handsome income derived.which Mr.Dow shrewdly devoted toeiviug tbe paper a yet better dress. His circu lation increased with each new writer, and he was more and more prosperous. A literary Bohemian from London about this time made Mr. Dow's acquaintance, aud in an evil hour (for Mr. Dow's pocket) this indi vidual was engaged as editor of the paper. He set about winnowing the chaff that was sent in. This did not answer at all. The circula tion began to fall oil almost as rapidly as it had risen, and it was soon apparent that the paper must die or part with its editor. The latter course was chosen, and prosperity returned. The opening of the war was a heavy blow to its circulation, but it rallied from this in good time. The income from it now is fully sixty thousand dollars a year. The entire edition is sold to tbe American News Company. It has lew subscribers, no editor, and no exchange list. It just travels rieht on the high road of prosperity by being democratic euoueh not to discriminate in wnai n puonsncs, except on the ground ot morality, where it is very par ticular It is not even sensational. Its forte is harmless love stories, such as youne women like to write, and very young women like to read loo, it we mav judue from the extent of its sales. A class read it who have not appre ciation lor auymoie stimulating mental aiet. It it does not stiengtheu. it does not deprave Probably readers often outgrow it, but plenty Klep in to fill their places. There seem to be a good number of persons in America, as elsewhere, who desire ouly the possession ol books, and who are willing to pay larae prices for privately printed or large-paper books, larger, of course, as the editions are smaller. Publishers have found it advantageous to panaer to this taste bv printing a few large paper copies ot all their good publications. They find that thev get a laree enoueb profit ou these to pay for the stereotype plates. In th auction-room these prices are attain increased. so that it is iu the end a good speculation to collect large-paper copies, the issues of tins various printing clubs, to illustrate books, and even 10 pnut a lew copies ot gome tract one self, wMh reference to a future sale. xue lamous aespatcu oi ca-sar, it we may call it hucii, i8 mateiied oy an entry in the pii vate journal of the late Admiral Brooke, the hero of the famous sea-fight between the shan non and the uiiesapeake : "Tuesday, June 1, 1813. Oil' Boston. Mode rate. W. W. wrote Laurence. P. M. 'look Chesapeake." Among the sicn of renewed literai-v acti vltv at the South is the announcement of new neiiodicals. the latest we have seen beins that ol the Richmond Medic Magazine, a religions aud literary monthly, soon to be published itt Richmond under tne joint editorship ot tne Rev. Moses D. Hoge and the Ituv. William M Brown. "The Felon's Truck, a Narrative of 1848," bv the late Col. Michael Doheny, is to be reprinted by Messrs. Farrell ft son, .u. vi r uitou street, for the beuefit of the author's widow. As the work throws much light on Irish repugnance to British rule, aud eosts but oue dollar, we com mend it to general attention and favor. - "The Handbook of Travel," by Edward 11. Hall, is now in pree , and will i' be hjsued, v,fii.cti in one volnwi, ly V. Appleton X t;, 10KD0N LITERARY GOSSIP. Mr. Charles Rondo's violent and abusive letter has surprised lobotly here who knows antbing of tbe tactics ol that clever and not qiiite so cccentric-as-he-would -tlclre to-be considered gentleman. We have had some startling speci mens of his epitolary powers in the Minno of letters to the Saturday lUtiexo and other jour nals. Perhaps some of your reader may re member that remarkable epihtlo beginning "talurday Ifrvieic, you have brains of your own, and good ones, if yon like to use them." Only very simple folks here set all this down to mental abeiration. Ingenious and well-constructed plots for hl plots n'e hiirenious and well constiucted, or clever writing, lor his writ ing is clever in spite of all faulis-do not issue from diseased brains. Mr. Reade, as he bints, knows at least perlectly well what he Is about when driving a bargain in Paternoster Row. No wild, excited genius then no eye in a flue frenzy rolling but a steady, business-like recard to "very hard cash," as many can testify. The fact is, that crack-brained epistles makes noise, and a noise, as every one knows who has been at a fair, draws people into the show. When a man of undoubted intellectual powers commits himself to an outrage upon good taste and leellng, it is, of course, a nine days' wonder, antt nine days in these times, when every day brings forth a new novel, are no inconsiderable portion ot time for a novelist to till the public mouth In. The thing has, it Is true, begun to flag here. Nine days' wonders, especially when they are exactly the same wonders, lose their etlect at last. Hence, perhaps, Mr. Rcade's trans atlantic appearance in this liny. It is an experi ment on the American pubMc. The llound Table is made the corpus vile lor the occasion. That is all. Mr. Rcade's boast of the high prices he gets for his novels, which he prides himself particu larly upon selling in the dark, and without the purchaser seeing a pae of his manuscript, re minds me of a remark which I once heard the late Mr. Thackeray make in speaking to a con tributor to the VornhiU Magazine. "It is very well for you young authors" he said, "to take your two guineas a pae and claim copyright iu a reprint; many a long year I worked tor Frazer at 8 a sheet of 10 pages double columns, you know and even thought it glorious pay." So rapid has been the ri-e in the price of literary labor. As to Mr. Reade's novels, I happen to know that he got for "Hard Cash" 3WIU from the very respectable house of Sampson Low ft Co., who, lor reasons not necessary to be told here, did not think lit to repeat the offer for his next novel. In the last century authors used to talk of being "ground down" by the publishers, and in novels and on the stage this view still holds its ground; but in truth the modern tendency is the other way. In what other trade is the buyer compelled, as Mr. Reade tells us he is, to buy his coods without so much as having an oppor tunity oi judging ot their quality? Of course this disadvantage is also disadvantageous to the author. If a man is compelled to buy what is proverbially called "a pig in a poke," the chance ot the pig turning out a lean one must neces sarily iuliuence bis bidding. In Mr. Reade's case, howevr, the boast has very little meaning ins stories nave almost always made their ap pearance in a serial befote their copyriuht is disposed of. It is quite true that authors of established reputation do disdain to submit their works to publishers, most of whom are, never theless, pretty shrewd judges of the public taste, inis may have something to do with the curious tact tnat a story wnich nas already bad thousands or readers in a serial will gene rally obtain, if successful, a higher price than the most successful one published for the first time in volumes. In the first case the publisher kuows what he buys; in the second he runs a risk tor which he must, ot course, be compen sated. Is it not time that our authors, who after all do sell aud haggle and bargain in their own fashion, gave up these absurd notions about a loss of diirnity in submitting their writings "lo a trader?" Mr. W. M. Rosscttl has in the press an elabo rate criticism upon Swinburne's poems aud ballads, m which he defends the poet warmly against nis censors. swniDiirne's owu painpti let is just out, which remindj me that the Doet has just completed an elaborate study upon rlie poet and painter Blake, which I suppose will be puoiisiicii one nay. Advancement of the Age. A London C01TCS pondeut writes: "You have perhaps seen in our papers the important statement that the Duke oi Argyll Is actually bringing up his son to lie a man ot business l mean, oi course, a merchant tor since Charles Stanhope, fright ened out of his wits bv Robespierrism and the lisrbts of man. had his son Philip taught the r acksmiths ait in order to De prepared lor evil days, no peer of this realm has, 1 btdieve, gone lower man that.

Dunanloup's cnlichtened love of letters is well known, lie detenus and culti vates thnt studv. and no one more keenlv enjoys its charms. He knows nearly tho whole of Virtil and Horace by heart, aud frequently in conversation makes felicitous quotations lrom those authors.

He is obliged to condemn himselt to lhat period of repose, and to iorcgo rending anu wnuui; ui iiil'ul, iu tuner not to injure his eyes, which nave already been severely tried during tne day." The London Athenantm comments favor ably, though rather late in the day, on Colocel Higginson's translation of "Epictetus:" "In reuine the last century translation of 'Mistress Elizabeth Carter she died unmarried a worK which had already had the reputation of coming lrom the pen ol a writer whom Dr. Johnson pro nounctd to be the best Greek scholurot England in his time. Mr. Hicginson has had an excellent foundation, and comparatively little heavy work on his hands. That little, however, he seems to have done cnretully and successfully; he has illustrated and explained some few passages which the learned lady, his predecessor, had lett in more or less obscurity; and, in several instances, has traced quotations to their orl ginal authorities, which she had eitherneglected to point out or had failed to discover.

Mr. Marmaduke Dolman proposes to pub lish in parts a series of the State Papers of Queen luizaoetti, to be selected cnieiiy with a view to the elucidation of the ecclesiastical history of the Elizabethan era, as connected with the pri vate history ot the aristocracy of that period. These papers are a col lection of royal letters, records ot the secretaries ot Mate, correspond ence with foreign powers, document relating to ecclesiastical atlairs, and the letters of private persons, either written by tne irteuds or the Government, and containing secret information ot the designs ot tho discontented, or letters of the malcontents themselves, descriptive ortner discontent and misfortunes, which, falling iuto the hards of the Government, were used by it against their auuiors.
