TIIE DAILY EVEHING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1871 LIFE'S riTY. I think tbfl pity of this life ia love: Tor though my roHebnd, thrilling into lift, Kissed by the love-beams of the glowing Bnn, Meet his fond gaze with her pure, tender eyes, Filled with the rapture of a glad snrprise That from his light her glory shall be won; Yet, when into her very heart he sighs, Behold ! she puts away her life and dies. I think the pity of this life is love: Because to me bat little joy has come Of all that most I hoped weald make life's son; For though the perfumed seasons come and The spring birds warble, e'en the rivers flow To meet some love to which their own doth ran, My bad of love hath bloomed for other eyes. And I am left to sorrow and to sighs. I think the pity of this life is love: For from oar love we gather all life's pain, And plaoe too oft oar hearts on earthly . shrines, "Where we wonld kneel but where, alas! we fall Beneath a shadow ever past recall: We seek for gold, when 'tis but dross that - shines. Then if we may not turn our hearts above I know the pity of this life is love. The Overland Monthly. LITDHATURII. REVIEW OF NEW B00K8. "Alfred the Great," by Thomas Hughes, II. P., published by James It. Osgood & Co., is the least successful of the works that have proceeded from the pen of this deservedly popular author. Mr. Hughes is a liberal, but he beholds with ill-concealed anxiety the rapid progress of democratic opinions in England, and he sees much evil as likely to result from the total overthrow of the old order of things that promises to take place in the not far distant future. He loves free dom, but he also loves law, and, bad as mat ters now are, he trembles lest they Bhall be worse when the great change comes. In his perplexity Mr. Hughes sighs for a king, and finds bis ideal set forth in the language of Carlyle: "We now come to the last form of heroism, that which we call 'kingship.' The commander over men, he to whose will our wills are to be subordinated, and loyally sur render themselves, and find their welfare in so doing, may be reckoned as the most im portant ef great men. Ia all sections of English life the God-made king is needed; is pressingly demanded in most, in some cannot longer without peril as of conflagration be dispensed with." Unfortunately for Mr. Carlyle, Mr. Hughes, and some others who are perplexed at the signs of the times, God does not appear to be making kings of thid sort just at present, but seems to expect that the advantages of education, culture, rapid means of intercommunication, and other features of nineteenth century civilization will ' enable each citizen to be in a great measure his own king. It wonld, perhaps, be a very convenient thing to have a king of the Carlyle kind to do all our governing for us, and relieve us of all care and responsibility in the matter, but if none such is forthcoming we must perforce try and make out the best we can without. Unluckily, too, it is impossible in this dege nerate world to rely upon a succession of wise and skilful rulers, for kingly lines have a tendency to diminish in mental capaoity in the same proportion that they become im pressed with exaggerated ideas of their own importance, and even where kings are elective it is not always possible to get the best man seated upon the throne, as we the people of the United States have more than once discovered to our cost. Mr. Hughes, indeed, appears to be pretty well convinced himself that his ideal king is not obtainable, and in his concluding chapter he gives the excellent advice for each citizen to accept God as his king, and to live virtuously and uprightly in nis sight. If Mr. Hughes can only persuade every citizen to do this, all farther con troversy about the best form of government may well be dis poned with. With regard to the nominal theme of the work before us, we may say that the events of Alfred s life are set forth in very readable shape, and it is shown how he laid broad and deep the foun dations of good government in England. The book is strongly colored by the religious and political opinions of the author, which on this side, of the Atlantic will not be likely to diminish its popularity, but we cannot help thinking that the work would have been more valuable as well as more interesting if Mr. Hughes had been less anxious to draw a moral from his tale. For. sale in this city by Clax ton, Remsen fc Ilaffelfinger. "Ralph the Heir," by Anthony Troliope is distinguished by the usual plaoid style and the usual minute dissection of very common place characters that find favor with so many readers. The story is perhaps a trifle more ingenious in the conduct of its plot than is usual with Mr. Troliope, while the moral en forced ia certainly salutary. Published by Harper & Brothers and for sale by Claxton, Hemsen fc Haffelnng6r. 'The American Cardinal," published by Dodd & Mead, is a Btory of an American who was converted to the faith of Home, and, after rising to the dignity of Cardinal, wished to change his religion again, and was in conse quence made the victim of various Jesuitical plots. As an attack upon the Church of Home the novel is too weak both in idea and execution to accomplish a great deal, while its essential vulgarity of style will scarcely make it popular outside of kitchen an 1 sUh'e circles, where it may possibly be read to be anathematized. For sale by Claxton, Reuiaen & Hafftslfinger. "'Why did he Dot Die?" from the German of Ad. Von Volokhanseu, is an attractive addi tion to the excellent list of translations from the German by Mrs. A. L. Winter which hav obtained eo much and such well-deserved popularity during the past few years. The present Btory is charmiDg in its graceful sim plicity, and in the fine art with which the various characters are sketched and the lights and shadows are contrasted. Pub- ished by J. B. Lippinoott k Co. "Castles in the Air, and other Phanta sies," is the title of a book of brief sketches and' essays by Barry Gray, which has just been issued by Hurd & Houghton. Most if not all of these sketches have appeared in various newspapers and magazines, where they have found favor with the public, and Collected in a neat volume, their quiet humor and graceful fancy will commend them to the summer readers who ask that their literary food shall not be of too heavy a kind while the -hot weather lasts. For sale by Porter & Coates. "The Two Guardians" is the latest issue of the complete edition of Miss Yonge's novels now in course of publication by D. Appleton & Co. ' It is a pleasing Btory of home life, and will repay a perusal. For sale by Porter & Coates. "The Happiness of Heaven," by a father of the Society of Jesus, published by John Murphy & Co., is an eloquent description of the condition of the blessed in heaven, in which the promises of Scripture are explained and set forth by means of familiar illustra tions and references to the writings of the fathers of the Church. There is nothing in the work calculated to offend the prejudices of non-Catholics, and it may be read with in terest and profit by Christians of all shades of belief.

A Slight Hitch In the Testimony. The London correspondent of the New York Times, writing under date of May 27, says: The Tichborne case has been going on smoothly till Thursday, when one of the wit nesses for the claimant broke down under cross-examination. On the previous day he pleaded illness, and was released from the witness box. When he afterward returned there he was at first very cool and collected, He had been a trooper in the Carabineers, and Rogers' servant when he was an officer in that regiment; and he was positive enough as to the claimant being his old master. notwithstanding his greatly increased bulk and other changes in appearance. The oppos ing counsel pressed him very hard as to whether be had been getting up the case for the claimant, coaching him in his evidence. and bringing people to swear to his identity; and although he would admit nothing, he was equally resolute in denying nothing. He would not say he had not declared that the claimant was an impostor, and took refuge in a monotonous repetition of "I don't re member," "I forget one way or another, Of course the claimant is not responsible for finch conduct, and it certainly does not lol low that the claim is fraudulent just because this witness is a drunken, disreputable fellow, evidently determined to make a good thing out ox his "old master," in one way or another. I he claim is. therefore, baseless. Still as the onus of proof lies on the claimant, all sorts of wild stories are now afloat in regard to this suit. One is that the claimant is really Mr Roger, but that hisznar rative of his adventures is, in a large degree, a fabrication, in order to conceal the faot that he committed a murder in South America, ior wnicn ue migni biiii ae called to account. Again it is rumored that the counsel for the actual possessor of the baronetcy and estates is prepared to prove that the claimant is HortoD, a butcher, on the evidence of Hortona sister herself. If this happens, there will bo a strange conflict of testimony, a sister swearing to a brother and an old lady Bwearing to a son, and one or other being necessarily wrong. Extbaordisabt Vitality ofObganio Gebms. One of the most curious faots in connection with chemical research is the remarkable vita lity of the lower organisms in nature. In vegetable subjects, for instance, vitality may lie dormant for a period which is almost in conceivable. Stramonium Beeda, aeeording to Duhamel, can develop after remaining twenty-five years under ground. Friewald observed the generation of melon seed after they had been kept more than forty years. Pliny goes bo far as to say that corn grew after it had been kept a hundred years. And there seems no reason to doubt the fact, for Desmoulins obtained plants from seeds found in a Roman tomb of the third or fourth century. Moreover, it is well known that corn found in some of the tombs of ancient Egypt has germinated and grown to perfection; and the result of the experiment of sowing some of this mummied corn in this country has been the production of new ears larger and more proline than those of our modem wheat. A squill-bulb, too, found in the hands of a mummy, has, when planted at the present day and in this country, grown and blossomed as readily as the last year a byaointh-bulb from Holland, which flowers in our windows every spring.
