Correspondence from Chicago Pear Series Editor: I, lat week, as you know, attended tbcCroby Opera House Art Associa tion and Wheel of Fortune, and made the acquaintance of some of the first families. I mean those families who bought the first tickets. I may add, however, that none of the lirst families catnc out last; and tho family of an (agriculturist, whose wife does not wear a waterfall, and who bad herototore been reckoned among the last families, come out first, and has been made even greater than Mohammed, in that he had never been to an Opera House until an Opera llou-'e came to him. 1 I, In order to make sure of not getting the buildhur, th" owning of which, I learned, had ruined Mr. Crosby, bought my ticket late; In deed, 1 believe it was the last ticket bought, Novei iholei, I determined out here, in cae I nhould draw it, to superintend the delivery of it to me in person. When I arrived I found a r-pular bank panic, occasioned by the snow-banks refusing to break, although run upon by locomotives and other contrivances heavily; neither would they liqui di.tp, on account of the continued spell of cold weather. Another feature surprised me; I am amazed at the immense snows (nose! on tho Face of Nature. The wheels'that were to contain the numbers and the prizes were placed in the room on Saturday, consequently many of us had the ad vaiitatrt) of practising drawing lucky numbers before the day of trial, had we. been so mindeJ; bat our honor prevented any attempts of the kind. When the drawing in the hall commenced, we all considered the large paintings, valued at thousands of dollars, as nothing, so long as that Mordecal of the Opera House lay hid away in the wheel. Even ticket 100,09:), held by your Own Correspondent, and which was awarded ti c splendid POETBA1T OF BACON, by a native Chicago artist, excited no envy. But after awhile ticket No. 58.C0O came to light, and with it the Opera House. This proved two things; that the lucky ticket was not among the "unsold," as Mr. Crosby might, hope; and I had bought my ticket, 141,300, too late. When it was announced who had drawn the prize, the gentleman who won the Opera House walked up to the platform to re ceive it, as I believe he had very ill-eoncoived notions of what an Opera nouse was. After the 'House" was disposed of the Committee pulled out the prizes by the handful, and threw them about with a lavish hand, reserving to Mr. Crosby, however, some choice paintings, under the plea of "unsold," which I believe he was, but which could not be said of many others. iFor fear the sudden good fortune tbat had just befallen the gentleman from the country might work his ruin, as fortunes are said to do, I addressed him a tender note from my hotel, asking him what he intended doing with the Opera House, now he had it, and cautioning him against sharpers, who would try and get. hold of his money. Also recommended him to buy my painting, "Portrait of Bacon," valued by the Committee at $30110. Next morning I received from him the following note: Bull's Head. Zur: Me and the old woman and the chil dren is goia to move to Chicago if we kin git rid of Sukey at an advantldge, as she is a good milker. I would put her agin euy cow in the country; and after that we don't kuow what weal do, unless 1 cood git a pardner to furnish sum capital to start a grocery bisiness, and rent the up-stairs to the pork packers, as some fellers in our tavern said it wood be a bully place fur that bisiness, and they mite buy your pictur for a sign; but i don't want any picturs. 1 will not sell it till 1 hev tried the grocery bisiness, as me and the old woman and Adaline, that's my prown-up dorter, hev always had a hankeriu after a store, and Adaline sez keep dry goods and trimmlns. Yourn till death, Abneb h. Br. nr. N. B. i'm no johuson niuu. After receivlug this letter, dear Editor, 1 felt that there was no more for me to do in tills city, and 4 4 A 1 r l.EAVINU MV l'ICI'UFE AT A FKIEND's, I determined to return home. I did not realize as much for my "Portrait of Bacon" as the Com mittee had led me to expect from their printed catalogue, so tuat, not to put to fine a point on it, 1 may say that 1 am disappointed.

Leigh Hunt's plea in behaJf of "the species of poem called the sonnet" will bo read with keen de-light by the young poets, and with careful attention by scholars, and with curi osity by those who are neither scholastic nor poetical. Hunt eontends that the sonnet, "while admitting of a greater and happier levity than those who think lightly of it Imagine, is In reality connected with some of the most thoughtiul, some of the mostaflcct lng, and some of the grandest events of the most exalted men." After this prelude it is not surprising to see him wax warm In the cause he espouses the cause of a form of Terse in which the imitators vastly outnum ber the masters. His expression of a hope that his disquisi tions may "excite a disposition to the cultiva tion of the sonnet in all poetical quarters, particularly those of the country In which this book first makes its appearance" that country being the United States will, we fear, find but a feeble echo In the breasts ol magazine conductors and newspaper editors, most of whom have dreadful recollections ot bushels of chad unredeemed by grains of palatable wheat. However, Hunt's counsel to sonneteers will be read, together with his praise of Bonnet-makin?, and his timely hints may he!p to improve the general quality ol" the article. Let us hope so. Thirteen lules are laid down for the gui dance of the sonneteer. Briefly, they are as follows : That a sonnet must be a legitimate production, in the Italian fashion, with but two rhymes to the octave and not more than three to the sestette ; it must have but one leadiDg Idea; this idea must be clearly de veloped, with no forced rhymes nor super fluous words, nor yet a word too little or out of place; there must be no lonjr words; the rhymes must be so varied as not to beat upon the same vowel; and its interest should be ereatest at the close. With these concise directions we receive a final admonition: "Go now, you who undertake to scorn the sonnet, and see if you had not better have made yourself a little more acquainted with wbat you scorned." Scorn being clearly impossible after this bitinsr rebuke of all scoffers, the reader Is at oDce introduced to the graver discussions of the subiect, and here begins the really valua ble port of the work. So complete a history of the sonnet has never belore been written, nor one which the most unpoetical reader will study with mere interest. Beginning with the Adam of sonneteers Friar Guittone, of Arezzo, "the first to give the sonnet its right workmanlike treatment and versifica tion" Hunt proceeds to sketch tho tender and graceful ellbrts of Cino da Pistoia, Guido Cavalcanti, Dante, and Fetrarca. lln com pares the two latter in a few terse phrases which mark their individual peculiarities very strongly: "The unquestionable superiority of Dante in the sonnet, as appeals to me, was tne very im portant one of grace over elecanee; that is to say, ot the inner spirit ot the beautiful over the outer; of unstudied, as opposed to studied etl'ect; of sentiment expressing itself wholly for its own sake, contrasted with sentiment selecting us words lor tne sate ol tne words also. "Not that Petrarca had no grace. Far was he from u.h nuiiity. He had a great deal of grace, bUt UOl no m.ioK In dlxttnotion Irani the critical sense of it; not such reiiauce upon u, apart from the aid to be given it by the accom plishment of style. Petraica has frequent in stances, not onlv of grace, but of passion; to say nothing of the most exalted mind. Cut he lived in an "age ol less trouble and more literature than Dante, was more prosperous and In favor, and was also of a nature less ;ivcn to exircmes; so that his poetry, like his life, was altogether ol a more equable uescription; and hence a iiitler ence in it irom Dante's, which, if it rendered it not so great, lelt it greatly beautiful, and, till society itself became stirred up and impassioned with new revolution", more popular. "Petrarca nas been pronouueed monotonous. His subject, no doubt, is monotonous; and it is easy to give a few glances at him and lay him aside under that impression. But how is it that the world has listened to Lim so long 1 Ladies, too, may be thought to know something of this matter; and they are all in his favor. Ladies of no great turn for monotony in love have ex pressly admired him for his variations on that thenio; and sentimental ladies have found him as charming in the nineteenth century as ne was in the fourteenth. Nor are the other sex, whose good-will he has not so bespoken, less ervul in their extolincuts. Throughout the whole series of Italian poets, not excepting his lault-iinder Tassoni, his praises are constantly sounding; and two of the latest and manliest of them Altieri and Foscolo worshipped the ground he trod on- A reien of five hundred years over the most poetical and musical of countries, with all Europe tor its eoho, is surely answer enough to a charge ot monotony. "It is to be acknowledged, however, that you must listen closely, and that the more you know ot his language the more you will . find it vaiied." Tasso's sonnets, "lying as thick as stare in his firmament," are sharply criticised. While some of them are "splendid, other grand, many are faint enough, as if through sick ness or misiortune," and the faults are those of exuberance and verbal trifling. Tasso "did nothing peculiar for the sonnet." But Marini was worse ; he is the celebrated cor rupter of Italian poetry, and he broupht to gether in one stifling heap all the enormities committed by other poets, becoming "the greatest and most proluse master that ever appeared of all that is adulterate in false poetry." Exit Marini I An amusinrr chanter is eiven to the comic Bonnet ol Italy, and it Is noted as a curious circumstance "that the Btately and solemn Hilton should have been the first English writer" to introduce this style of composition to his countrymen the example in point being his famous attack on the Presbyterians of the Long Parliament, beginning : "Because you have thrown "off your Prelate Lord." The comic chapter winds up with the fol lowing: "Crescimbenl, in the third book of 'Commen taries' on his 'History of Italian Poetry,' has given his leaders a specimen of the sonnet which iterates but a single word. Every line of it terminates with the w ord Ar?o.' It is a solution of a riddleon theship of the Arcronants; but is not worth repeating. That no form of sonnet, however, which has appeared, and which is of the least interest, even as a curiosity, may be waniinir to these pages, I stifdl make bold, on the strength of the Anglo-American nature of the book, to fiuish the present portion of my theme with a sonnet of iuv owu, written on the same plan, but on a subject willed can be devoid of interest nowhere. I can speak thus ot it with the less iiniuodosty, inasmuch as the reader will see that it is a thins easy for anybody to write, the plan and the subject being once found: "iterating sonnbt.

Nor hieh bloods hich-in both United Rtstes: to high that, sceini their United States, inev scorn to stoop from nch United Plates holcly to please poor dfs-Umted St ues." Dwelling upon the fact that the earliest EnpliBh sonnets those of Sir Thomas Wyatt chiefly turned upon illegal attach ments, Hunt regards this as a literary curi osity, and thereupon gossips pleasantly. In Shakespeare's sonnets, however, "the love is of so true a nature," and they so carefully conceal from view the object ot the poet passion, mat - iney conquer all objection." Spenser, says Hunt, uttered noble and sweet notes ; llaleigh wrot one sonnet so excellent that it makes us wish ho had written a thou sand : Coleridge's sonnets give but glimpses of bis genius. Of the living Hunt avoids speaking, indulging in only one exception in the case of Mrs. Brownin living when Hunt wrote; now both are dead. This posthumous work of Leigh Hunt's the essay which bears bis name is really a volume in itself has a permanent value, aside from its sharp characterizations of literary men. It is followed by a disquisition on American sonnets and sonneteers, written by the editor a shorter but very comprehensive account of the writers ol sonnets in this country. The earliest American sonneteer was David Humphreys, born in Connecticut in 17.j3, and the catalogue is continued down to the present day. There is an earnest ex pression of regret that Stoddard has not cul tivated the sonnet to its utmost limits, and there is also a generous estimate of other liv ing wiiters. Among the American sonneteers whose productions are quoted in the second volume are Allston, Bryant. Longfellow. Per- cival, Tuekcrman, Boker, Lowell. Tavlor. Aldneh, Hayne. Anne C. Lynch (Mrs. Botta), jir9. iiaie, ana ivirs. Finney. The "Book of the Sonnet" is an essav. a cyclopedia, and a history; and. covering a ticia not Deiore tnoroughiy explored, is pecu' liarly attractive.
