G RE I ENTANCE. A kitten once to its mother said: "I'll never more be good; But I'll go and be a robber fierce, And live in a dreary wood, Wood, wood, wood, And live in a dreary wood." It climbed a tree to rob a nest Of yonng and tender owls: But the braucb. broke o(T and tbe kitten fell, With eix tremendous howls, Howls, howls, howls; "With Bix tremendous howls. Then tip it rose, and scratched Its no3e, And went home very sad: "Oh! rr other dear, behold me hert?, I'll never more lie bad, Had, bad, bad, I'll never more be bad." Till: POETRY OF FACT. Terhnps there is nothing that moro as tonishes the student of modern literature thau to find, on the one hand, many of those things vhich lie had esteemed mere fictions of the fancy, to have had their origin in historical fact; and, on the other, that many others, tvhich were and are really the products of the poetic imagination, have been in the yrebent, and will be in the future, actualised by the ingenuity of science, or the progress of society. Even the fairies Lave been traced to a specific birthplace, aud an actual race of dwarCish beings having a local habitation and a name. A shrewd ob server has traoed all the distinguishing marks Xj which they are described to the settlement f the Lapps. These, like what we are told of the fairies, live in green mounds, pop up their heads when disturbed by people treading on their houses, steal children, are on familiar terms with the people about them when they treat them well, and punish them in return for ill-treatment. A Lapp is a little llesh eating mortal, having control over animals, sometimes living in. a tent, aud sleeping out of doors, wrapped in his deer-Bkin shirt, but generally in a green mound, ex actly answering to a fairy retreat. One sagacious traveller visited such a home on the most northern peninsula in Europe, to the east of the North Cape, close to the sea, in a sandy hollow near a burn. It was round, about twelve feet in diameter, sunk three foet in the sand, the roof being made of sticks and covered with turf, and the whole structure, at a short distance, looking exactly like a conical green mound about lour feet high. There was a famous crop of grass on it, aud children and dogs ran out at the door, and np to the top when the visitants approached, as ants run on an ant-hill when disturbed. Their fire was in the middle of the lloor, uid the pot hung over it from the roof. A house in South ITist, in the sand-hills close to the sea, built of loose boulders, circular, and with recesses in the sides, bears corroborative testimony. It was covered when found, and full of sand, which, being removed, stone querns and combs of bones were detected min gled with ashes. Naar the level of the top there was a stratum of bones and teeth of large grass-eating animals, the bones being Bpliutered aud broken, blended with ashes and shells, oysters, cockles, and periwinkles, Showing clearly the original level of the ground, and proving that this was a dwelling almost the same as a Lapp "(jam" at llop fieidet. These descriptions tally exactly with our fairy tales; aud, indeed, ur traveller's ad .ventures read nearly as elvishly. The scene is laid at Quickjok, and on Vallespik, Swedish Lapland, and the Lapps and the deer are the actors in it. A small man of fivo-aud-ttventy is Seen from the opposite side of a river. He wears a high blue cap, yet he is so short that Loth he aud his cap could stand upright under the arm of the observer. A party having been formed to make better acquaintance witU the deer, the Lapp took from its hiding place in a fir-tree a long birch pole, whioli aided him in his pursuit, and enabled him to outstrip his companions. One of these looked alter him through a glass, and saw, like a brown speck on the Bhoulder of Vallespik, a small mortal with two dogs driving home the door. They also visited a "cota," which was a permanent dwelling made in the shape of a sugar-loaf, with birch sticks, and long fiat stones and turf ; it had a door, a mere narrow slit, opening to the west, and a Lole in the roof to let out the smoke. Inside was a girl of about fifteen, with very pretty eyes, sitting crouched up iu a corner, and look ing as scared as one of her own tawns. A priest who attended the party remarked that if they had not been accompanied by the Lappe she would have fainted or run away to the hills. The narrator of the adventure Legan to sketch her, as she sat modestly in her dark corner, aud was rejoicing in the extreme stillness of his sitter, when, on looking up from some careful touch, he found that she had vanished through the doorway. ,- ixntitro TvonnlH ma v have sat for These ui - r . ,, the fairies of the hnraery-talefl, even for the l'uck ot the Midsummer Night's Dream. Our classical fairies such as people Spenser's great poetio allegory are not of this class. They are of full size, and have spiritual powers corresponding. Nor has Shakespeare painted Ins "Oberou" and "Titania" as minute beings; rather they have the stature aud in telligence of demi-gods. Spenser and our dramatist contemplated them through a tele scope, which, perhaps, more humble believers had inverted, and thus the giants aud fairies were, after all, but one and the same set of lieings viewed in a different manner. It is curious that whatever magic art giants may have mustered, they were always, like Old Hick himself in the Icelaudio legends, beaten in the end by men, though they also are painted as man-eaters and owners of slaves. Home lived in caves, some had houses and cattle. Like Hercules, they fought with clubs. Are these imagined beings men or myths ? In either case, they are represented as strange lubberly beings, whose dealings with men always end iu their own discomfiture. Little real resemblance have the weird sisters in the tragedy of Mabah to the three strange lias we meet with in the annals of Uoliushead. They may have been intended by the legend writer for the fates or Valkyries of the northern mythology, but the historian does not say so. With eur great dramatist they are simply the exponeuts of Macbeih'a state of mind, who had meditated the mur der of Daman before he had seen the witches. The poet uses such materials, always crude under the best of circumstances, iu accordance with his theme, aud, by means of the most exquisite art, works them into har mony with it as illustrations of psychological motives of which the original fabulist never dreamed. In puch manner, they are refined and elevated, ar:d rendered fit to b-couie fac tors in a drama designed to lay bare the bases f Superstitious belief; which they show both in principle and iu action. fchuke rpeare's sisters are as superior to the witches in llolinshed, as Milton's Hatau is to the Lucifer of L'antc, cr the Fieud of the THE DA1L.1 'EVENING TELEGRAPHPHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBEll 1, 18G7. ltiiratle-play. Superior writers in all litera tures, whether Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Italian, Knglish, or German, deal with their themes after the same fashion. They trans runte aud convert them into higher and still higher meanings, till they grow into symbols and types. Faust is such a type; so is Don Juan; so is Beatrice; so is Dido; so is Achilles; and so is Adam. They have a Btrange vitality, these types. Actors and Btory-tellers are the preservers of the traditions that grow into types, aud crea tors of the types themselveg by the develop ment that they give to the traditions. Some thirty or forty years ago, men in the High hinds used to congregate and tell stories; and eveu lately they spent whale winter nights about the fire listening to old-world tales. In every cluster of houses was some one famed as "good at sgialachdan," whose house was a wiuter evening's resort. Iu Buch humble theatres, and in this simple manner, the mysterious process went ou. It is now contimu'd in a grander style at the magnificent houses where Shakespeare is occa sionally acted, and the Christmas pantomime burlesque presents a new and enlarged edi tion of some ancient legend, which, while re taining its name, has changed both form and Fultauce, without apparently injuring its identity by the alterations superinduced, some ol them iuevitable. In various ways, the old spirit of popular romance has revived; nor would a judicious well-wisher of his race desire it to be exor cised as an evil spirit, whatever bigoted per sons may do. Kather let us accept it as a good genius to be conciliated and employed for good purposes as one of the promoters of popular education. "Purely," exclaims a lover of these traditions, "stories in which a mother's blessing, well earned, leads to success in which the poor rise to be princes, and the weak and courageous overcome giants; in which wisdom excels brute force surely even such frivolities are better paiatinie than a solitary whisky-bottle, or sleep, or grim silence; for that seems the choice of amusements if tales are forbidden, and Gaelic books are not provided for men who know no other language, and who, as men, must be amused now and then." Better? Ay, far better 1 Even when the bottle is provided, amusement is expedient. If the cigar and the glass had sufficed of them selves, would speculators on the publio purse have added the Music Hall and the Saloon ? Music, ballet, and the acrobat have been needed to ent ourage people to drink; and so many are satisfied w ith the former without the latter, that the average of drinking and smoking together, even on an especial occasion with a crowded audience, averages only sixpence a head. Such is the account cheerfully rendered of the Alhambra, even by the landlord himself, whom much drinking would largely benefit, besides, these places have their history in the past, which they show signs of repeating in the piesent. The musical or dramatio enter tainment gradually supersedes the bibulous altogether. Thus at the irecian, once a saloon, and one of the earliest places at which music and singing were added as inducements, the theatre became a greater attraction than the platform, though dancing there was permitted as well as drinking. In like manner, the proprietor of Highbury Ham has found it his interest to provide a theatre for his customers. The little play house of Sadler's Wells, which has finally be come so famous as the home of legitimate drama, wa3 once a place of entertainment where gymnasts performed their feats, profes sionals sang, and entertainers performed, as well as the "thirsty soul" received refresh ment. The fine point of the wedge was thus inserted, and in time tiie entire wedge obtained a place. The finer portions of such amuse ments gradually gain the ascendancy, and the grosser disappear. The Music Halls even now are undergoing a change. It is reported that their popularity is on the decline, aud is likely to be more so, as, in order to decrease their expenses, they have ceased to give the higher class music, and have reduced the entertainment to mere comic singing. Many, therefore, propose to substitute drama, or something analogous thereto, as likely to be more attractive, or to command the attend ance of larger numbers. Meanwhile, at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, teus of thousands nightly are gathered to listen to instrumental and other music, including songs. Its inte rior, also, has been decorated and illuminated in the most gorgeous mauner, so as to entitle it to be called what it is now named on the bills, a "Fairy l'alace." Nor should we be surprised if, at no distant period, some astute speculator should contrive some species of dramatic entertainment which should bring the million within the area of this immense building. Such is the necessity, in this hard-working world, for amusement, that places, like this Hall, originally intended for purposes of utility, in no long time get converted into palace3 of pleasure, i: which the laboring classes of all kinds may iind recreation in the enjoyment of some art-invention more or less perfectly ex hibited. And as the past Las realised itself in higher types in the Regent, and tlnj rude tradition taken 8, r.tiuntifnl tl.ai.a in twintrv. so liflvw those poetic forms found a still higher and more startling exposition in actual society. Chaucer's imagination created a crystal palace in one of his poems, and the modern world has furnished itself with more than one such palace far exceeding his de scription or even conception. Science has made a poetry of its own; it flies on the wings of the lightning, aud has sub dued the elements of lire and water; develop- ii g the powers of steam aud gas and electri city, making each and all subservient to ine advantage of man. Some people have a notiou that the poetic ages have goue, ana that we now live in a dull, prosaio age of utility. No opinion cau be more erroneous. Fulton, Ark- wright, Wa'.t, Telford, ana fttepuenson nave been our poets, who, like Dante, have made themselves the heroes of their own poems, the actors iu the biographies of their discoveries aud inventions. So novel and extraordinary were their preconceptions, that, in the early part of their career, many suspected them of ins.ii ity. These things inspire hopes of the fu ture, that the cherished ideas which many of us 'now entertain, but wuiu are tnougui to be mere dreams by tli duller-minded, will yet justify themselves by becoming facts in the coming history of th race. The electrical machine, the bteameugiuo, the high-level bridge, and other triumphs over matter, are bo many victories which merit au Iliad even more than the invasion ami fall of Troy. These actualities of man's productive intel ligence far excel the ideas of his imagination; which, however crand they may be. fall short of their acfiiwvements. Thus, even now, the face of the social and political world is undergoing alteration while we look on ns careless observers; and reforms, which wise and good men only a few years ago regai dod us hooeless, are jiov in actual operation. I. t in not, there fore, any longer err with those unenterprising men ( f old Who thought Sir Hugh M yd lletou aniHi'man for proposing to bring the New Kiver to London, or with the over-cautious Sir Walter Scott, who laughed at the notion of lichting our towns with rjvj. We will not imitate the House of CommonB that ridiculed George Stephenson for his estimate of the speed at which railway trains might safely travel, or those carpers that recently doubted the possibility of a submarine cable. These wonders have been accomplished, and with them the poetic has passed into our common life. Nor has our modern civilization been want ing in heroism, nor will our future lack its peaceful warriors, who conquer rather with the word than with the sword. There will be, as there has been, a Sir John Franklin, a Robert Stevenson, a Hrunel, a Livingstone, a Hugh Miller, and a Humboldt, who, iu the onward march of time, of mind, aud of morals, will, whether as martyr or victor, make the annals of the future rich in names and deeds that confer honor on our common humanity. W hat has happened is a promise and pledge of what will happen; but the plane of the fu ture will Occupy a higher level, and the heroic man appear yet nobler as ho moves on a loftier platform. No longer regarded as a giant, his work no longer stigmatized as the result of witchcraft, nor his success attributed to the adroitness with which he had outwitted the fiend by whom he had been taught magic, the truly great man of the future will be wor shipped, at a less reverential distance, perhaps, but with more brotherly love. The proper sym pathy between cla-ses will be promoted by their better acquaintance with each other; and the mists of ignorance being dispelled from the popular mind, the human objects of admira tion will be seen in their natural proportions, and neither the teacher nor the taught suffer frein the illusions which are the inevitable consequences of a false medium. And thus the antagonism which has hitherto existed between them may happily cease. All (lie Y(ir Hound. FURNITURE, ETC.
