6 THE DAILY EV MAG TELEGRAM PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1868. LiTEIlATUHE. KEVIEW OF N1Y BOOKS. Rural Tokmi. By William Hrne. rubHsiied by Roberts Brothers, Boston. Philadelphia, Ageut, 0. W. ritohor, No. 803 Cliejnut Btreet. Messrs. Roberts Brothers are winning for themselves an enviable reputa'ton as the pub lishers of really good books. They hare been particularly fortunate In introdaotng to the American publio some ot the best of the iIsiDg generation of Krglish poets. Jean Ingelow, Chrlsliua Ilosetti, and, notably, William Morria with his "Jason" and noble Earthly Paradise." The splendid suoeesa of this last named Trork is as gratifying to all lover of genuine poetry as it must be to the author and liU publishers. No poem given to the world during the last twenty years was reoelved with the same universal tokens of delight as the "Earthly Paradise," and there are few which have so well deserved the same hearty and enthusiastic praise which it has reoeived on all sides. This work has already passed through a number of editions, and It is likely to increase in popularity as readers become more familiar with its merits. An appropriate supplement to the "Earthly Paradise," is the little volume of Rural Poems by William Barnes, whioh Messrs. Roberts Brothers have just issued in holiday garb, and with illustrations by Hani mett BilliDgs and Winslow Homer. The sim plicity of style and poetic appreciation of the lfomely scenes and incidents of every-d.y country life, whioh Wadworth theorized about, is a natural instinct with Mr. Barnes. He has the "rare, very rare, faculty of giving a poetic cast to the most commonplace subject and, with the exception of some dainty little Idyla by the early English poets, we know of nothiDg with which the majority, of the verse 3 . In the little lock before us can be compared Mr. Barnes' versification is often original and "novel, and in looking over this collection of poems we find scarcely anything that can be objected to from a critical point of view. Here is a little idyl, homely as homely san be in ubject, but we think it very charming never . i meieea: THE BROKBN JUO. Jenny and Tom. (Tom Idly swIiirs about. Teuuy's Jug, and breaks It against a stone.) J. As If you could not leave the Jug alone! i Nowyon have smaok'd my jus: INow you liHve wtiaok'd uiy jug; ' How you nave crack'd my jug, Against ttie stone. T. The Jug was crack 'a before, unknown to jou: csu uou t oeue lue monp; .It scarce went niub. the stone, Itjubl went by the stone, A ud broke In two. J. Oh! erRck'd before! no! that was sound eDougn, From buck to Hp was sound, To Ktnud or tip wax suuud, To hold or dip was sound. JJou't talk such stuff. . T. How hlsh thon must I take Its price to reach ? I'd buy homo more pa coo J; ' I'd buy a score as good; I'll ImV A ktolfi us imnil: For twopence onoli. J. Indeed ! when utonen Jugs were sold S3 dear! Ko, ibeie'e a tap for lies; And there's a Map for lies; And there's a rup for lies. About your ear. T. Oh ! there are pretty lianas: a little aen T -. . 1. fni AminM I. r tharacterined by a fine pathos and delioate feeling cot ofteu equalled by more pretentious j?0fct8: THE WIND AT THE DOOB. Ail daylight darken'd on the dewiest grass, 1 here still, with no oue come to me, TofcUiy awhile at home by me, Within tbe house, now dumb by me, 1 sat me still as eveniugtlde did pans. And there a windblast shook the rattling door, Aud seemed, us wind did moan without, As if my love alone without, Aud standing on ttie s'oue without, Had there come back with happiness once more. I went to door, and out from trees, above My bead, upon the blast by me, Bweet blosboms there were oast by me, As if my love had pHSs'd by me, And Hung them down, a token of her love. Bweet blossoms of tne tree where now I mourn, I thought, if you did blow for her, For apples thatshould grow for her, And lull red-ripe below for her, Oh I then how happy 1 should see you kern. But no; Too soon the fond Illusion broke, Ho comely soul ia white like her, Ho fwlr one, tripping light, like her, Ho wife, of comely height like her. Went by, but all my grief again awoke. There are many pieces which we are tempted to quote, but those which we have given aud the following must suffice as samples of Mr. Barnes verse, and we are mistaken if they do not induoe lovers of poetry to purchase the Look and investigate its merits for themselves. This idyl we think is the gem of the collec tion: HOME'S A NEST. A father (F.) and a neighbor or chorus of neigh bors.) F. Here under the porch's grey bow, " All my children have shot to and fro, With a ftlfcck little head. V. Home's a nest. F. Here are windows where hills, in the blue Of tbe sky, so long shone to toelr view, And tbe auu's evening, red darted la, Aud the nooks where Uielr loellps nil sprang, And ti e whIIs and tbe places that rung AV 1th their high-screaming din. O. Home's u nosl; Oh ! home is a neu of the sprlutr, Where shlldreu may grow to take wing. F. As small-footed midens here walk'd ISy tbelr mother, their lKtlo tongues lalk'd To her down-looking face. C Home's a nest. F. And the bovs trotted on at my side. With the two steps they put to uiy stride Of my blg fooled pace: and now each Is withdrawn from our side aud our baud. And the oldest as fur as the laud Of old Kuglaud mav reach. C Home's a nest; A nest where tbe young folk are bred Up, to take on tne work of the dead. F. And here, when the boys had beguu At their sisters with bantering fun, How brisk was earn tontine. C Home's a nest. F. Of the glrlp, who could very soon find How to pay off t belr brothers in kind, Whetber older or young, ami now each Has tils own day ot life, and his door, While bis words and his doings uo more To the others may reach. O Home's a nest, Where babes may grow women and men, For the rearing of children again. F. There straight-salted John, that can show How to naudie a sword with a foe, Js a comely young man; Home's a net, F. And be swings a good blade by a hand That has hit a tew blows for his land. And the nierry-soul'd Ann; oh I a dear. be In wedded, and taken to tura Her own cheeses, and roll her own churn, ltut a good way from here. , o, Home's a nfRt, w here onr Children grow up to take rrtl Our own piaoes, when we are all goae. F There Is dapper young Joe, that has made A good Jobbing l-j CHltle, his trade, la so sklllul ol inlrd. , Home's a neat. F. That the while any bullock might blare, He would know her all round, ev'ry hair; Aud my Fanny, so kind and so mild. That I often would hope she might stay At my hearth, she Is taken away. Ay, my Fanny, dear child ! (j Home' a nest. All forsaken, when ohl:dren have flown. Like a nest in busu-lop alone. F. There Is Jim, that the neighbors ail round Made tbelr pet, is now .gone, aud Is bound To a very good trade. C Home's a nest. F. Though hln head Is as thoughtless, a lout, As be ball he would hit so about, In the games that I bey played, and he's near; Hut my Willie Is gone from my door, And too far to come back any more, Any more to come here. C. Home's a nest. Where our children are bred to fulfil Hot our own, but our Father's good will. We think that Mr. Barnes' Rural Poems will flad their way into many households. Nothing so pure and fresh in the way of poetry has been laid upon our table for many a day, and we are confident that the more they are read the better they will be appreciated. The vol ume has been gotten up in very tasteful Btyle by tie publishers. Messrs. Roberts Brothers have also pub lished "The Little Gipsy," by Elie Bauvage, translated from the French of J. M. Luyster. This is an interesting and affecting little story, which children will like to read. It is hand somely printed and bound in holiday style, received from G. W. Pitcher, No. 80d Ches nut Btreet. From J. B. Lippincott & Co. we have re ceived "A Few Friends and llow They Amused thtxneeivep," by M. E. Dodge. ' The author of this book has endeavored to 6 how people how to amuse themeelves in a social way. The in formation conveyed in the shape of a story, and descriptions are given of twenty different pastimes suitable for the parlor and social gatherings. Tha book is amusing, and is Veil adapted for tine purpose intended. T. B. Peterson & Brothers send us "Across the Atlantic," by Charles II. Ilaeaeler, M. 0. Ills is an acoount of a tour through France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, and Eogland, in a series of letters originally contributed to the Miners' Journal of Pottsville, Pa. From the same publishers we have re ceived "Married at Last," by Annie Thomas, one of the- latest works ot a popular novel writer. Fiom the Presbyterian Publication Com mittee, No. 1334 Chesnut street, we have re ceived the "Do Good Library," consisting of nine miniature volumes, titled as follows: "Milly," "Little Helper," Loitering Linus," "Stupid Sally," "Anna . Iland," "Grandma Foster's Sunbeam," "Little Patience," "Little Dick Positive," and "Maud's Two Homes." Also, "Work for All," a religious story, by Rev. Charles P. Bush, D. D, 7 he Lady's Friend for December, pub lished by Deaoon & Peterson, No. 319 Walnut street, Philadelphia, Las two steel illustra tions, "Robert Burns and Highland Mary," and "Una and the Lion." A number of fashion plates, patterns for crotchet and nee dle work, and an attractive table of contents, make this an interesting and valuable num ber of a popular magazine for the fair sex. The School-dag Visitor for December brings the twelfth volume to a close. The contents are as follows: "Adventures of Tom ltoper," by S. W. G. Benjamin. "Flowing Fountain," by Dr. J. D. Vinton. "A Visit to Jupiter," by Lizzie M. Hunt. "Ball and Sancho," by Charles D. Gardette. "Beautiful Snow," by Harriet B. McKeever. "Frightened at Noth ing," a dialogue by Daisy. "Minerva's Stocking," by Pepbie. "On the Ice," by Mary Bynon Reese. "What their Papa did," by Uncle Charlie. "The Wonderful Seeds." "The Old Year and the New," by the Editor. 'Our. Stairway." "Song of the Winter Winds," by Alice Hawthorne, etc The publishers Messrs. Daughaday and Beoher, No. 424 Walnut street, offer a variety of pre miums to subscribers to the new volume. The high reputation of the old firm of Tkkuor & Fields will doubtless be sustained by their successors, Fields, Osgood & Co. Mr James T. Fields, whose name now appears at the head of the firm, is well known as a poet of more than ordinary merit and as a gentle man of the highest taste and oulture. After the death of the.elder Mr. Ticknor, Mr. James R. Otgood was taken into the firm, and the effects of his enterprise and business talents were immediately evident. The high standard of the publications of the house was maintained, and greater attention than ever was paid to getting out books in the most elegant style of the typographical art. Longfellow's transla tion of Dante's great poem was a superb specimen of book making, and Innumerable other works might be mentioned as evidences of the good taste displayed both on the out side as well as the inuide of volumes issued by this house. Mr. Osgood is reputed to be the business man of the firm of Fields, Osgood & Co., as he was of the lately dissolved firm of Ticknor & Fields, aud nnder his administration the imprimatur of Fields, Osgood & Co. will doubtless become as widely and as favorably known as was that of Ticknor & Fields. Charles Rade, the author of "Foul Play," is now writing a tew Btory. Before it was fairly eommenoed, he sold the right to publish it serially in the Comhill Magazine, one of the most popular of the English monthlies, for $25,000 in gold. Several of our Amerioan magazines have been in sharp competition for the advanoe sheets, and unusually large Bums have been offered to the author. This story will doubtless yield Mr. Reade, for its serial publication in both countries and in book form, at least the sum of $50,000. Fifteen years ago Charles Reade was a comparatively unknown author, And now he is rapidly amassing a fortune by his literary labors. riiACHCAL m:coxstkuj mux.

The Clarksville (Ked River county, Texas) Standard says: The corn crop is decidedly a success, tnd Is selllne; at thirty cents, specie, per bushel. Potatoes are abuudant, aud sell at lbrty cents, specie. The labor of the farmer in all toe nericuluiral branches has not been without its reward this year, and we expect to see a decree of prosperity develop itself within the coming jear that will remind us of former years.

The Richmond Whin of tb" 10th Instant says: We are inloViutvi that the ''Knicker bocker Lilu Insurance Uom'pauy," of New Yort, have transmitted a communication to Geuer.il Lee, tendering to h:ni the position of "Super visor of Agencies'' of that institution in the Southern Siates.

Supposing our taroieis to invest one-hulf their crop in supplies for another year, they will have a snusr little pile of green backs lelt to operate on. The cottou sold has averaged upwards of twenty cenis per pound. Taking the present crop, with the chance far mers had in the spnug, in fitGt, we may say during the whole feason, and what may we ex pect next year? We believe they will be fully able to double the present crop, and 1n a few years, when our wild lauds shall have beeu set tled and our railroads are built (we'll have them), Plae Bluff will be oue of the great Western cities." The Mad-stone. Ia the Jieporter of October 2, we published an account ot a remarkable cure performed by a mad-tstoue lu the possessiou of B. 3. Milam, Etq. A little soa of Beujamiu Ford, Esq., of this county, hud beeu bitten by a poisonous make on the instep. His leg bean to swell and turned black. All the usual remedies failed. He was cured in three hours by the mad-stone. Notice of this remarkable cure ha6 been copied from the Meporler by nearly every paper iu the country. Many have believed that tbe cure was really pcrtoi ined ; others have doubled it: while others have ridiculed the idea ot a mad-stoue curing a snake bite. This last class has gene rally been com poi-ed of those who have swal lowed the absurd stories of tbe wild eagle can jing off a chile in Tippah countv, the head less child in lliunesotu, of the b'ig snake at Triune, of the flaming meteor lliat passed near enoueh to singe the hair ot the nsrrator, and a dozen others equally absurd. The inad-stoue is no hoax. It Is a reality. It has been in Colonel Milnni's family lor titty years, and has never, in a 6innle instance, failed to cure snake or mat dog bite. As soon as we can see the pirties we intend to piocure certificates of some of the wonderful cures it has performed. We do not desire the impiessiou to go abroad that wo have intentionally hoaxed our readers. 8 , iu our first notice, we meutloued with inluuteuess all the particulars, and gave names, dates, aud place, iu order to euablc our reud"rs to ascertain tor themselves if they su-pectoJ a hoax.
