He Yorkr G. W. Carleton, rulladelphlit
Agenls: T. U. l'etcrson A JUro. ,
As Milton was continually suLjott to Ions of
night until his disease culminated in total
blindness, and, as Dean Swift was ever con
scious of lilfl approaching insanity, so also
mnstthe author of "Prometheus in Atlantis"
have bn subject to chronic ill-temper
from 'his youth up. The work before us is
ither the production of a madman or a
pedantic misanthrope. We are rather inclined
to think that it comes from the pen of the lat
ter. It is one long tale of venom and bile, of
monnings and misgivings. It is sour from
the preface to the finis, and is thoroughly
disagreeable. It attacks everything on the
earth. It makes a wanton and uncalled-for
assault on all the human race. It sneers at
the manners, customs, rites, and governments
f the day, and foams in frenzy over the
morals of this age. In every respect it is a
peculiar, an extraordinary work, and of its
merits we can fonn no opinion, because it fre
quently happens that we cannot detect the
idea at which the author is aiming. We can
arrive at but once certain conclusion, and
that is, that everything now existing is a fear
ful sin, and that the end of Christian civiliza
tion is certainly approaching, if anything the
author says be true. It may be that we are
obtuse in not at once catching the point of
come of the sentences; so we will quote a few
paragraphs at random. Speaking of the "re
lations of democracy to literature, "the author
says:
"The first theology of modern times, in Its
Initial liomoKeneousnenH, whb the Inevitaljlo
poiy lueinm ol an Idealizing barbarism eDgrufi.eil
ou monotheism, with tue mldltiou of uu ele
ment which, combining with a profound pa
thology of human nature, a dark and erroneous
etiology, roudered man's very knowledge of
himself a curse to lilm and an aid to his ene
mies. fco that when, at length, the intellect
began to scorn the fables of that faith whoso
only claim to the name Catholic consisted in
its lioniogcneousnesM.iind to chafe at its misera
ble thraldom, and to yearn for o pure and lofty
spiritual faith, the only possible method of
emancipating it and giving it the evangel for
which it hungered, was through a system
which lopped oil poetry and the arts at a single
blow."
Again, treating of the evils which led to the
"Crisis in 1SG0," and which will destroy all
our civilization, he says:
' "The one groat lack at this time, and it would
prove fata), was of a proper organization of the
terms ot the absolute, and a consequent normal
life of the minor one. uhristlau society had
reached terms which it was lucapnble of man
aging, and the movement of the race, without
a curb and wildly careering under the heel of
fanaticism, was rushing to the gulf of ruin.
The world was dyiDg for the want of an orga
nism capable of continuous and endless appro
priation and conversion; understanding broad
enough to grasp all the facts of nature; reason
stalwart enough to assume, spirit strong enough
to construct such an organism. The ancient
civilization perished in evolving man out of
the homogeneous and ascertaining him as a
definite fact, the antithesis of a definite Inft
nite; the modern civilization was perishing iu
evolving the absolute In man."
The question, "What is Life," so often
asked, is at length satistactorily answered:
"Life is not, as has been hastily alleged, en
tirely a matter of the relative. In It the rela
tive is appropriated and assimilated, while the
absolute is transformed. Considered morel y as
a process, life is a conversion of physical forces
by means of an organism. Through its fu ac
tion of conversion, the character of the orga
nism itself 1b constantly changing, so that it is
all the time becoming a larger und better in
strument of conversion. Civilization Is a corol
lary of the conversion of physical Into spiritual
forces. In relation to civilization itself, con
sidered as a distinct movement, the primum
mobile is spiritual, and the material and intel
lectual movement proceeds from a propulsion
received from it; but the conquests of this
material and intellectual movement are them
selves, in turn, converted into spiritual forces,
Whence a new movement begins."
The subject of "Marriage" also attracts the
attention of the sage, and he develops his
views on the subject pretty freely. After de
nouncing all our systems of marriage as hal
. animal, he promulgates hi own views, which
are:
"There is just one reason that Justifies mar
riage; it is lervent and devoted love. There is
Just one reason that justifies divorce; it is the
decay of such love in both hearts. All laws
which compel the union after love has do
parted are Immoral. Every union not sanc
tioned and demnnded by love Is adulterous,
and patchwork legislation cannot make it
otherwise. The proper duration of the relation
is not so long as the parties shall live, but so
long as they shall love, and this snould bo
longer than life. Neither infidelity nor death
dissolves the tie If love survives. Mnke as manv
mere police regulations authorizing separation
as the weakness and wickedness of human na
ture may render iudloioust hut. t. ,a,.ira n,n
tie forever ended. Is something which man has
no right lo do till Uod has already done it and
thin rl ita gnlr K V. .1 - '.
.... -" -"j mo uwy 01 me love
Which authorized the marriage."
We have quoted enough to show that the
work is peculiar. But we hesitate to denounce
it, lest the closing passage of the work should
apply to us: ,

Another edition of the "People's Law Book"
eomes to ub, with the addition of the General
Dankropt law and a digest of Reconstruction.
Its merits are the same .as those of the first
edition, there being little or no revision or
addition. It is useful, so far as aiding a man
in daily business is concerned, but when it
claims to take the place of an attorney, it de
ceives thoBO who put their trust in it. . It is
extremely convenient as a book of reference,
and can be used with advantage in many
cases which, from their insignificance, do not
warrant the employment of counsel. '
How TO MAKR MrtNKV AND How TO Kfep It.

Good practical advice is contained in the
book before us. It is too much inclined to
deal in the abstract, and to spread out details
to an unnecessary length, but yet it is full of
sage counsel, which all young men would do
well to follow. It inculcates politeness, en
ergy, and industry, and points out the benefits
arising from a special act of courtesy. If it
does not locate an Eldorado, it teaches princi
ples which, if properly followed and well
heeded, will as surely procure wealth as the
possession of a silver mine. It is in every
respect a book well worth reading, and is
issued in neat and cheap style by Mr. Carle
ton. It is practical in many of its chapters,
while it is always right in its principles and
morals.
Homespun; or, Twenty-five Years Aoo. liv
Thomas Lack land. New Y'ork : Jlurd A
Houghton. Philadelphia Agent: O. W.
Pitcher, No. 808 Chesnut street.
Mr. Laclkand is a thorough lover of the
country, of country residents, of country
customs, of all that pertains to the rural life
of our farmers. Ho is an enthusiast, and is
so brimful of love for all that appertains to
the simple life of the agriculturalist, that we
also are imbued with his excitement; and
despite our knowledge of the dulluess and
drudgery of farm life, we find ourselves ad
miring and envying this rustic mode of living.
He gives us a series of sketchy essays, all of
which are pleasantly written, every one of
which is readable, and all abound with evi
dent and honest belief in what he writes.
"Homespun" is thoroughly pleasant reading.
In it we find no jarring figures of rhetoric.
The author has a plain tale to tell, and does
not introduce figures fit for an Arabian fable
to illustrate his homely narrative. The book
treats of peace, contentment, and plenty, and
positively makes us sigh for the country,
while we shudder when we think of an expe
rience in the monotonous routine of the
farmer's daily toil.
The following original letter, written by
the founder of the Napoleonic dynasty to
Talma, long before he was Napoleon the First,
is published in a Londdn journal: "Mon cher
Talma I have fought like a lion for the Re
public. ., But, my good friend Talma, as my
reward I am left to die with hunger. I am at
the end of all my resources. That miserable
fellow Aubry (then Minister of War) leaves me
in the mire when he might do something for
me. 1 teel that I have the power of dome:
more than Generals Santerre and Rossignot,
and yet they cannot find a corner for me in La
Vendee or elsewhere, to give me employment.
You are happy; your reputation depends upon
yourself alone. Two hours passed on the
hoards bring you before the public, whence
all glory emanates. But for us soldiers, we
are forced to pay dearly for fame upon an ex
tensive stage, and, after all, we are not
allowed to attain it. Therefore do not regret
the path you have chosen. Remain upon your
theatre. Who knows if I shall ever appear
again upon mine t I have seen Mauvel (a dis
tinguished comedian) he is a true friend.
Barras, President of the Directory, makes fine
promises; but will he keep them f I doubt it.
In the meantime 1 am reduced to my last sous.
Have vou a few crowns to spare me t I will
not refuse them, and promise to repay you out
of the first kingdom I win by my sword. How
happy were the heroes of Ariosto; they had
not to depend upon a Minister of War.
"Adieu. iours, Bonaparte."
Charles Warren Stoddard, at San Pran-
cisco, has a volume ot verses passing through
the press. Here is a sample of them:
at Anchor.
A sfillor by the green home-shore,
While seas are ebbing from his view,
Doth all his early joys renew:
He slugs tiie sou-is he sang of yore;
He spies his littlo cot; he smiles
With a full Joy ne'er felt before
He holds that, one bare prospect more
Than all the Summer of the Isles.
The quiet home is his; the trees
Sprung from the seeds his graudsires laid
Among the mould; within the glude,
The myrtles rustic lu the breeze,
Above a treasured little grave,
His early lost, his first deep woe !
Not any land that lie may know
Beyond the purple of the wave
Hath such ajewtl In Us breast.
He loves each rock, and stream, and doll;
"l is only here he cares to dwell.
'Tls ever here ho longs to rest.
This is his home of Joy and ease:
And better is the myrtle tomb
Than all the heavy dusks that gloom
The greves of spice beyond the seas.
A work recently published in London, en
titled "Tennysouiana," gives some curious
particulars in regard to the early literary
career oi the celebrated hnghsh poet. It seems
that the first poetical work of Alfred .Tenuy
i .1 t . . .
son appeared auout tony years ago. It was
printed aud pubiisnea at Louth, m Lincoln
shire (Tennyson's native county), and was
entitled "Poems by Two Brothers." The "two
brothers" were Alfred and Charles Tennyson,
though their names did not appear on the
title-page. Alfred was at that time in the
eighteenth year of his age ; and he and his
brother, with becoming modesty, adopted as
their motto the following words from Martial:
"lhec nos novimud esse nihil" (We know
this to be nothing). Some of the titles suggest
the old poetical commonplaces of young be
ginners : "Lines to Memory," "The Kxilo's
Harp," "Remorse," "We meet no more,"
"To Fancy," "Midnicht." "Friendship," "On
Sublimity," "Time, an Ode." etc. Others
have an odd tone of something formal and old
fasLioned; as "Lines to One who Entertained
a Light Opinion of an Eminent Character,
"On the Heath of my Grandmother." "On
beiiiK asked for a Simile to Illustrate the Advan
tage of keeping the Passions subservient to
Reason," "Short liulogium on Homer, ' etc.
Others, again, betray that the brothers shared
in the then prevalent excitement in favor of
the Hellenes; for we had poems called
"Greece," and "Exhortation to the Greeks."
Byron seems to have had a powerful influence
on the minds ol ine youtmui poets: one o
their pieces is called "On the Heath of Lord
Byron," and -lines from the author of "Childe
Harold", are frequently used as mottoes. The"
firft conspicuous work of Alfred Tennyson was
his Cambridge prize poem, "Titnbtictoo",
(182!t), which was very eulogistleally noticed
in the Athena-urn of July 22 of that year,
and which was certainly distinguished
by some noble passages. In 1830 ap
peared " Poems, chiefly Lyrical, , by
Alfred Tennyson." This was the volume
which contained "Mariana in the Moated
Grange." It wa9 well received upon the
whole; The Westminster Revirw (in an article,
it is thought, by Mr. John Stuart Mill) hail
ing it as a work of great promise; Leigh Hunt,
in The Tattler, contrasting the two brothers
ers in a series of articles, and concluding by
giving the palm to Alfred; and Professor
Wilson, in Blackwood's Magazine, "mingling
praise and blame," as Teunvson afterwards
told us in some very stinging" verses. After
the appearance of the volume of 1833, Cole
ridge said of Tennyson that some of his poems
showed "a good deal of beauty," but he added
that he had "begun to write verses without
very well understanding what metre is." And
be "presented" to him to write for two or
three years "in none but one or two well-known
and strictly-defined metres, such as the heroic
couplet, the octava stanza, or the octosyllabic
measure," as a corrective to the looseness of
his new metres, some of which Coleridge said
he could scarcely scan. Wordsworth, in
1845, spoke of Tennyson as "decidedly the
first of our living poets," though it seems that
he had originally, unlike Leigh Hunt, re
garded Charles as the better poet.
A LITERARY QUARREL.
The widow of lleinrich Heine has written a
sharp letter to a newspaper editor in France,
who advised her to suspend legal proceedings
against Michel Levy, the Paris publisher.
Levy announced for publication the complete
correspondence of Heine; the widow protested
in vain, and then invoked the aid of the law.
She writes:
"I haveoften heard It said that litcrarv men
aie mere children in business, compared with
publishers. I am a woman; judge ot my inex
perience wneu l entered into business arrange
ments witn w. Micuei bevy, nut he was so
kind, soobliginp, I could not have tbouehtol dis
trusting biiri. One day, touched by hU solici
tude, I told him sonie loreigu publisher had
issued letters irom my husband which were
stjled private, but which reallv vi ere fabricated.
I was distressed by it, but how could 1 brinR suit
inGcimanj? M Lcvv replied, 'Procure me the
volumes and I will sue the publisher, laving the
oanihges at zu,ut.u.' i mention tueoe figures
for the sake ot accuracy. 1 desired only
one thing, namely, to prevent that publica
tion, aud I was so lortuuute as to meet a pro
tector who would sec that 1 olitaiued my cuds!
1 investigated the matter, aud was led to pur-
cnase beven volumes in tierman, which l gave
to Dim. months, years passed away. 1 requested
M. Michel Levy lo return me the volumes I had
con tided to him. as he had made no use of theai
in the delen&e of my rights: but he was always
so busy, and those German books were so tar
an ay under piles ot books, that I waited
patien'ly, and was still waiting, when I heard,
in a very indirect way, oi. Micnei Levy was
about to publish the fabricated , and translated
letters which at one time hud excited his anger.
"This is the reason I have brought suit. Did
you know these tacU, eir ? You will no longer
nave a right to laugh at me. You. In turn, have
played M. Michel Levy's game. You t bought he
101a jou aoout a curious lawsuit, while his ob
ject was to get ten lines lrom you in your news
paper, knowing perfectly well that, written by
vou. they would be a recommendation which
would enable him to sell, before the decision of
the courts, a great many volumes.
"I remain, Widow Uknri Heine."
To this letter Levy replies, declaring its ac
cusations unfounded, and adding:
I content myself bv saving, in order to
justify myself, that the first article of the con
tract l made with M'mc Heine, on the 28th ot
January, ibos. runs: 'fli'nie Henri Heine sells
and cedes to MM. Michel Lew Freret 1st. The
full and entire property ol all the published and
hereafter to ho published works oillenrt Heine.
2d. The exclusive right ot translation into
French of all the works of Henri Heine pub
lished in German. 8d. The nerht of translation
into French of all the posthumous and unpub-
nsnea worKs oi ricnrt tieine which may be pub
lished.' Bv virtue of lights conceded me in so
explicit a manner by this urttcle, 1 have trans
lated 'Hcbri Heine's I orreepoudeuce,' which
lorms the nineteenth, twentieth, aud twenty
Cist volumes of tbe original edition of tiie
Complete Works ot Heuiv Heine.' published at
Hamburg, by MM. Hottroan & Canine, the nub-
hsheis bv contract, iu the same manner as I am.
of M'me Heme, and tbe German publishers of
tier tiui-bund above lorty years, as 1 have been
his French publisher these last tourteeQ years.
This origin ol my trauslaticu is a material face
which is easy to be ascertatued, and which fli nie
Heine, tr rather her advisers, have not takeu
the trouble to examine, but which cannot
escape the attention of a court of justice. MM.
Biugev Bi others, ol Amsterdam, have published
an unauthorized edition of some of Heun
Heine's works. This is the edition which M'me
Heine complained to me about two or three
year? ago, and of which she gave me a copy as
evidence, in case i thought proper to bring suit
against the publishers.
"But I borrowed absolutely nothing from this
edition. I have never translated one single line
Irom it, which I should have demonstrated u
M'me Heine, if before sending me process she
bad been good eijoupLi to call on me about the
business, as my good relations with her, per
haps, should have prompted her to do. I stilt
hope that, convinced ol my pood faith, alter
seeing these palpable proofs of it, M'me Heine
win uismiss tiie suit wnicn biunderinc; advisers
have made her bring so thoughtlessly ueainst
me. I remain, etc., Michel Levy."
M. Levy makes a good case, unless Madame
Heine can bring rebutting testimony.
