gyom K4arlh tmtl Born,
Tha baby gat in the moonshine,
A allver iqaare on the floor,
Shaped by tii open window,
And iti halo dim he wore.
II lamed his hair to ipnn silver,
Bta robe into folds of pearl
Yet it was bnt a linen night-gown,
A tangla of flaxen carl.
Be was there at play, white nestling,
A moment bafore he slept;
And he patted and kissed the moonbeams,
And, cooing, across them crept.
"Bring ns the moonshine, baby I"
Quick sprang the little feet,
f cooping it np by lapfnls,
Harried the fiagers sweet,
To bring ns invisible treasure:
Be saw it, bright and plain;
Never doubted the baby
Oars was a real gain.
Firmly we also believed it,
For, after he was asleep,
We bad his moonlit piotare
Always oar own to keep.
It has not grown old or faded,
It will not, it never can;
We shall have it still to look at
When he is a bearded man.
II then he should win great riches,
Be cannot bestow a gift
Bo rare as the one he brought as
Oat of the moonshine's drift.
May he never lose faith in moonshine,
The one that glimmers and streams
From the mountain-clefts of beauty,
Afar in the world of dreams 1
Right royally may he soatter
The wealth of the boundless skies !
The fine gold and sheeny silver
from the mines of Paradise 1
LITERATUBE.
REVIEW OP NEW BOOKS.
Tub FiBiiBH Maiden; a Norwegian tale. By
Bjornatjerne Bjornson. Translatedby M. E.
Niles. Published by Leypoldt & Holt.
Philadelphia agents: J. P. Lippinoott & Co.
Messrs. Leypoldt & Holt have made for
themselves an enviable reputation as pub
lishers of good books that are permanent addi
tions to our literatnre. They have shown
exoellent judgment in catering to the tastes of
the better class of readerB, and in introducing
to the American public the new Norwegian
prose-poet Bjornson they have rendered a
genuine service, which, it is to be hoped, will
be repaid by an extensive sale of the very
attractive little volume before us. Bjornson
has achieved the greatest popularity in his
own country and in Germany, and one or two
of his stories which were translated and pub
lished in England some months ago were ;
greeted with the warmest praise by the lead
ing literary journals. The story of "Arne,"
which made the author's reputation in Eng
land, is now in course of preparation by
Messrs. Leypoldt & Holt, and will, be pub
lished shortly. In the meantime they have
issued, "The Fisher Maiden," we believe ia
advance of its appearance in England, the
translation having been made expressly for
their house.
Bjornson reminds us of no one unless it be
Fouqne or Hans Andersen, and bis resem
blance to those writers Ib more in the poetical
air with which he surrounds his subject, and
in his exquisite style, than in the form and
substance of his work. "The Fisher Maiden"
can be read through in an hour, bat there
are few who read it once who will not be
tempted to go through it again, and it will be
found to improve on the second perusal. As
to plot, there can soarcely be said to.be any;
but there is human experience described with
genuine poetical insight; the characters,
sketched with a few decided, artistic touches,
are lifelike, and the fisher maiden and her
mother may almost be said to rise to the rank
of dramatic creations. Bjornson has the eye
of an artist for scenery and incidents, and his
word pictures are bright and sparkling. The
oharaoter of the heroine is as much of a puzzle
to the reader as it waB to her friends and ac
quaintances, and the manner in which it is
developed indicates genius of no mean order.
The account of Petra's first visit to the theatre
is a delightful bit of description, and the de
fense of the drama and refined amusements
generally which is elicited by Petra's deter
mination to go upon the stage is one of the
clearest, most impartial, and most conclusive
that has ever come under our notice. "The
Fisher Maiden," we are sure, will find a large
irole ot appreciative readers, who will extend
to this new story-teller as cordial a welcome
as he has received in Karope.
From Claxton, Remaen k Haffdlfinger, the
Philadelphia agents, we have received the
bound volumes of Harper's Magazine, liar,
ptr't Weekly, and Harper's Bazar tot 18G8.
Harper's Magazine hit had an uninterrupted
career of prosperity from the issue of the firBt
number in June, 18G0. It is, with one exoep
tion, the oldest publication of its class in the
United States; aud from the commencement it
has been edited with rare taot, and is to-day
the most popular magazine in the country
Harper's Weekly was the first permanently
successful illustrated papers issued ia the
United States. It forms a complete illustrated
history of the times; while its pages are made
attractive by stories, novels, and sketches by
the best writers of the day. Harper's Bazar
lupplied a desideratum, and It was a brilliant
success from the nrst numuer. as an mus
tr&uA nhrouloler of the fashions it has no
rival. The bound volumes of these publics
tlons will form an attractive and useful addi
tion to any library.
From D. Ashmead we have received
several of the publications of D. Appleton &
Co. The second bound volume of their cheap
edition of the Waverley Novels oontains "A
Legend of Montrose," "The Talisman,'
"The Antiquary," "Redgauntlet," and "St
Bonan'fl Well." These novels are printed
on good paper, are illustrated by wood and
steel engravings, and are handsomely bound
bt green cloth, at the very low prlco of fl'75
jr Winnie,
: - - .-.
The 'Tbantom Ship," by Captain Ma-'
ryatt, is the tenth volume ol Appleton's fifty
cent edition of Marvatt'a .works. In tuie
story the author, gives a version of the
famous legend of the "FJylog Dutchman,
which to lovers of the marvellous will lose
nothing of its interest from his manner of
telling it.
'Five Weeks in a Balloon" is designed as a
satire on Koglish works of Afrioan travel, bat
while the mode oMooomotlon and the amusing
adventures are of course imaginary, the descrip
tions of the geography, scenery, inhabitants,
animals, and features of the countries tra
velled over are vouched for as being strictly
accurate. The work is very entertaining, and
many of its hits will be appreciated by those
who have perused the tales of genuine tra
vellers In the oentre of Africa..
From Turner Brothers & Co. we have re
eeived "Planchette; or, The Despair of Sat
noe,"the third issue of the "Handy Volume"
series in course of publication by Roberts
Brothers. The mysterious little toy that'
created so much excitement in sooial circles
some months ago Boaroely does more than
give a name to this treatise, which is a full
and comprehensive aooount of modern spirit
ualism, its phenomena, and the various theo
ries regarding it, with a survey of Frenoh
spiritism. The author evidently has full
faith in all that he sets forth, and his tone is
rather querulous towards those whose bump
of credulity is not as large as his own. The
work is prepared with care, however, and it
will be read with interest by those who have
perplexed themselves over the why and
wherefore of the so-called spiritual pheno
mena. The volume is nicely printed, and
very prettily bound in green cloth.
From the same house we have received
"The Study of Languages Brought Back to
its True Principles; or, The Art of Thinking
in a Foreign Language," by C. Maroel. Pub
lished by D. Appleton & Co. This work Is
not a text-book, but a manual showing the
author's method of learning foreign languages.
It is generally conceded now that the old
fashioned method of teaching languages by
the means of the grammar was a mistake,
and that it is better to learn the language
first and the science of it afterwards. The
method of M. Marcel Eeems to be well adapted
for the easy and thorough comprehension of
foreign languages, both as printed and
spoken, and we recommend the manual to
those who are interested in the subjeot.
Messrs. Turner Brothers & Co. also send as
"Common Sense," the third issue of the
library of select novels, and through them we
have received the weekly numbers of Our
Boys and Girls, Oliver Optic's magazine, from
January 1, 18G9. Published by Lee & Shepard,
Boston. This magazine Is filled with an at
tractive variety of stories, sketches, games,
and other matters of interest to boys and
girls. It is well illustrated, aud is published
at $2 50 per year.
From T. B. Peterson & Bros, we have
received "Anne of Geierstein" and "The Fair
Maid of Perth," two numbers of their
twenty-cent edition of the Waverley Novels.
Literary and Art Items.
Mr. Henry Huth has Just printed in Lon
don, privately, fifty copies of a "Narrative of
the Journey of an Irish Gentleman through
England in the year 1752." It is a lively ac
count of the Cork narrator's trip to London
and back, sketching his companions in his
coach rides, saying that the English women
were handsome but not vivaoious, that the
stage coaohes had no windows to look out of,
that the roads were awful, Miss Bnrchell at
Vauxhall inimitable, eto. The manuscript
(says the Athena am) was well worth patting
into print. We saspeot that it is by the same
writer as the Additional Manuscript, 27,951,
lately added to the British Museum collection,
though this latter, consisting of four rough
little note-books, is in the writer's own hand,
while Mr. Uuth's seems to be in that of a
copier. The Museum Manuscript is oalled
The Journal of an Irian Clergyman on ma
Visits to London in 1758-61-72;" and the first
note-book in the packet begins with a visit to
and description of Windsor and Eton. In
London the writer met Sheridan and other
persons of note.
Mr. T. Duffus Uardr writes from the Rolls
House to the London Alhtmtum, under date of
February 3:
'During my official inspection, in me year
18(15, of the Archives at Venioe, made by the
direction of the Master of the Rolls, my atten
tion was called by Mr. Rawdon Brown, who is
employed in compiling a calendar of Venetian
papers relating to the history of this country.
to a volume containing " uonj""""" w
Miihiel, the Venetian ambassador at tne iuan
of Queen Mary. These despatches appeared
to me to be ot suoh an important oharaoter, so

a volume containing the despatches of Michiel,
the Venetian ambassador at ,the Court of
Ciueen Mary. Of these, about onwlKh part
is written in a cipher mat n uuunw
the skill of every one who has attempted to
explain it. Several of these letters are only par
tially written in these secret characters; the
remaining portion is in tue orumnrj hmuuj
of the period. The context shows that many
of the eeoret passage evidently relate to the
Wtleaee of the Karl of Devonshire from tne
Tower, and of tua Prinoees Kizabetn irom
Woodstock. I should reoommend that copies
or photographs of these letters be sent to
Kugland, in order that steps maybe instantly
taken to decipher tbem, which will, in all
probability, throw light on the events of the
reign of Queen Mary. That they are matters
of great secrecy may be inferred from the fact
that the det-i atcLee in cipher of the Venetian
ambassador irom Eugland are of rare occur
rence.' "Lord Romllly adopted my suggestion. Pho
tographs of the despatches, made by Ponti, of
Venice, were sent to the Public Reoord Offije,
and have been shown by me to various
scholars, but without any successful result.
1 am happy to auuounce that I received this
mornirg from Mr. Rawdon Brown a letter
stating that, among discoveries lately made at
Venice, part of tb missing correspondence of
Giacomo Sorsuzo, ambassador in London in
1C53, has jnstbeen discovered. These letters
are in cipher throughout, and they contain an
incisure- of a contemporary decipher, de-
rcribing Boranio'a introduction to Qnn
Mary. In eonseonenoe ol the aid afforded by
this decipher, fclguor Lulgt Pasinl, of the
Library of the Frari, has been enabled to oom
plle the long-eought-for key of the cipher des-
5 atones referred to in my report. Mr. Rw
on Brown has commuaicaU-d to me a speci
men of Paslni's labors, and I hope to be in a
condition within a few days to submit to auoh
of your readers as feel interested In these
matters, Paslni's decipher of these important
documents. I think Rngltsh readers have
reason to be grateful to Siguor Pasinl for his
skill, ingenuity, and patience in aooomplish
