THE GERMAN LANGUAGE AND LIT
- MATURE.
riuxx OMELET.
Na IV.
Language is history in itself. No
other monument of the past is half
so enduring. Nations rise, flourish
and pass away ; their structures of
art and enterprise perish ; but the
language, having undergone meta
morphoses, it may be, put to new
uses, borne to new climes, neverthe.
less treasures up in its capacious
thesaurus the- histo r z, lmu; peculiarities,
and the social and • ' status of
the people having spoken it. Lan
guage is the most faithful servant of
man; used, abused, changed by the
requisitions of new developments of
local or national , life and growth ;
notwithstanding all harsh treatment,
it never forsakes its master. ; but,
long surviving him, beainies the si
lent index of his inner life an 4 char
acter to all succeeding ages. Suscep
tible as the soul of childhood to the
slightest impressions, it retains those
impressions indelibly stamped there
in characters legible to posterity. It
will survive the shock of opposing
arms and the terrors,of conquest and
invasion. Time may beat and bruise
it; but, like the water-washed rock,
though its surface may be worn and
even transformed, its substance re
mains unchanged. -
Revolutions may be the birth
pangs.of new languages, They often
mark the epoch of new, developments
:and the initiatory period Of rapid
'growth and great permandicy and
perfection. The reformation marks the
period when, from the Babel of con
fusion among the German tongues,
order and concentration began to
emerge. Luther, the chief figure in
that revolution, was its foster-father.
His mind, so intense, earnest, gaol
--
a* and glowing, fixed the words in
their final form. His pen communi
cated and transmitted them to his
fellow-countrymen. That nob% trans
laticm of the Scripture's, still recog
nized, with uiational pride as the
standard version, has preserved to us
with faithful and sacred awe, the
language ale found; and used it.
What more sacred vehicle, or _more
sure and permanent and univ' ersal,
could have been cusp:eyed for suet a
purpose? A. Divine peavidence. We
say. Ire not only thus popularized
the usage of his mother, tongue, but
disseiainated everywhere Abe moods of
Divine truth. How Wu& st mager
richer and more endtiring than be
fore,
the forms and idiOnla this
now central stock t Henceforth there
is to be permanency here -holding all
its excellent qualitieCuith a tenden
cy toward greater perfection and
beauty. • '
The High German ":is full of - the I
balm and bloom of the luxuriant
East." There is an oriental richness
of coloring. It possesses withal, a
wonderful inward element of self
growth, a tendency or capacity to en
large its fabric by new, conthinati*
and - developments of its-own materi
als. It has beim likened to the or
ange tree, koded it- the same time
with fruits and, fall-bkren blossoms
and nascent buds. Wherever you
toncl it in its historic' development,
it reveals abundance of treasure.
The world will not forget nor ignore
this fact. The Greek is wonderfully
adapted to seethetical and philosoph
ical uses. And to-day the German,
more than any other living language,
is, in this , akin in its "in
ward and subtle respect
affinities'', to the
Greek. In originality and constancy
of productiveness, what modern lance
gdage is its equal? To the mind
which is; thoroughly English in = -its
type and tone, no modern language
could be received into all its elements
of thought and growth so profitably
as the German; and why ? One reit
'son is becawse the two languages are
GO radically different in their devel
opment and growth. ' The English
has a " wondrous faculty for appro.
;dieting to its own use. and growth .
all the strength and beauty of all
other tongues." In other words, it
grows from without, while the Ger
man grows from within. Do you re
quire to express nice and , fine dis
tinctions, you will and the best mod

from 888 A. D., may be classed here;
also the Scandinavian Eddas, though
their date cannot be exactly deter
mined. Perhaps the principal use of
the divisions above indicated is to
designate eras of periodic growth in
to the style' of its forms,
x. r e a l ge. 4 ? than, to distinguish literary
epochs or classic periods. The Ger
man language is distinguished from,
every other in having tin classical
muds. The 'first at the time of the
Nibdinigen-Lied, about the 7th. Bth,
9th and 10th centuries, coinciding
thus with the Old High German peri
od. It is sometimes confined to the
century included between 1150 and
1250, A. D. But though the Nibel
ungen-Lied was not prepared in the
form in which we find it until -about
1200. A. D., it had been composed at
a much earlier time. I will here take
space to be more specific in res p ect
to this great epic of the ancient Ger
mans. It is a strange stringing
together of several Sagenkreis' e or
circles of traditions. These, embodi
ed in songs, composed by various
au
thors in different parts of Germany,
and hence in different dialects, - are
united into one national song, and
constitute the great epic of the tier
mans, . as Homer's Iliad does that of
the Greeks. It contains scraps dat
ing back to .Charlemange, 1000, A.
D. • "Its heroes are those of the sth
and 6th centuries, and of a Christian
type." In the 14th and 15th centu
ries 20 copies existed in manuscript.
In the 16th and 17th centuries the
world lost trace of the German Iliad.
Latins, however, s learned man of
the 16th century, knew of its exist.
ence and used it in preparing his
work, Die Volker.wanderung. In the
last century, Bodner found two co
pies. They were the property of the
Count of Ems. Afterward a Swiss
named Miller, a teacher at Berlin,
issued an edition. Since that Prof.
Lachman has issued the poem in its
earliest form.
• There - are three or four other not
ed productions of the Old High Ger
man period. The least important is .
the Welt-13eschreibtmg, or a descrip
tion of the world, composed about
1100, A D., and in the form of a po
em. There aro threi3 remnants of
early literature which have been pre
served from the 15th century. They
are not in their oldest form in conse
quence of subsequent changes and
additions. The first is in Old Ger
man, and is' called Hildebrandt&
Lied. It was preserved by two
monks in Fulda, in the 9th century,
written on fly-leaves of religious
works. Since the 30 years war it has
been preserved in one of the Muse
ums of Germany. The second is
Walter von Aquitaniani in Latin.
We have an edition from the 10th
century in Latin. The third is in
Anglo-Saxon, Beovulf. It has come
down from .the 11th century. The
early poetry of the Germans was all
of a national or popular character,
i. e.,. Yolks-Poesie. The first Christ
ian production was the Helfand or
Helfand.. It wait preserved at Mu
nich, and was written in the 9th cen
tury at the solititation of Ludwig,
the Pions, son of Charlemange. A
thousand years afterward an edition
appeared. It is the only relic now
left of the Saxon having any value.
"It is a harmony of the G ospels . in
mere alliterative metre."
The third period is made promi
nent from the fact of its embracing
the time of the Minnesrenger, min
strels of Love Their homes were in
Allemanie, and Suable. From their
popularity their dialects became very
prominent. From the beginning of
the 14th century, the time when the
Minnestefiger died out, and also all
poetry except,Yolks-Poesie, which
seemed to take here a new , start,
Scholastic Philos:4)4 ages its ori
gin. This was a preparatory period
for the Reformation. The most. pp
maw appearance was the Mater
monger, master singers. These were
in the period of their greatest pros
perity in the 16th century. They
outlived the storms of the 30 years
war. Hero occurred several-import
ant events which contributed greatly
to the advancement of German liter
ature. Universities were established,
printing was invented, and newspa
pers exerted, necessarily, great influ
ence in educating the people. And
now came the time for the greatest
of all transforming and unifying
agencies, namely, the Reformation of
the 16th century. "The leaders of
this great awakening in nvelern soci
ety, as of the next greatest event
since that day, the exodus of the Pn
ritan Church to these shores, were
the leading clinical Scholars of the
• times." Luther was a classical schol
ar, and so too was Mebuntlema• Just
at this period also, we find &weight
and Erasmus. Luther's Bible trans
lation has received previous mention'
as one of the greatest agencies in de
veloping the more cultivated dialect.
There mast be added to this yet
other writings . of this acme period,
which, in an important though less
degree, have contributed to the same
object.

We. come now to spe . alc briefly of
the amid CigNialt period. It em
braciiathe that half of the present
century. The brightest star of this
period and, in fact, in any literary
point of view, thebrig4est that Ga
wkil ever exhibited to the world,
J
was ohannWolfgang von Goethe.
This is saying Much, for " the num
ber and value of the works in every
branch of human learning in the
German, exceed by far those- in any
other language._ and the German
belles-lettrei literature rivals that of
any other nation." Goethe was born
at .Frankfort in. 1749 ; studied at
Leipzig and subsequently
. at Stress
burg, where he became Doctor of
Laws. His writings are quite numer
ous. The play entitled .` Gcets YOU
Iterlichingert" was one of his earliest
production Goethe appears great
est in Dream and : Romance. His
dramaa,lphigeniciin Tends," "Eg
mont" and "Torquato Tasso," are
universally . admired. The tragedy
"Faust" is his greatest poetical
work. Carlyle says of Goethe, as the
poet himself had said before of ask
veer° : "His characters are like
watches with dial-plates' of transpa
rent crystal : they show you the hour
like others, anfithe inward mechan
ism is also visible." He adds, more
over, in hitlectare on "the Hero as
Man of Letters " : • " Oar chosen spe
cimen of the Hero as Literary Man
would be this Goethe. To me a no;
ble spectacle; a great heroic ancient
man, speaking and keeping
. silence
as an ancient Hero, in the ruse of a
most modern, high-bred, high-culti
vated Man of Letters I We have
had no such spectacle; no man capa
ble. of affording such, for the last
hundred and fifty years." We pre
sent Goethe, therefore, as the chief
representative of the second classical
period of German literature. Fried
rich von Schiller certainly claims the
next place. He was ten years young
er than Goethe, - was reared almost
exclusively under his mother's watch
ful care, (she a lady- of the richest
qualities and disposition), his father
being away much in the military ser
vice. Schiller is great in several de
partments of literary composition,
but greatest- in his dramas. The
fiat, Der Student Tbn Nassau," and
one other, he himself destroyed soon
after completing. Important dramas
of his pen' are -" Fimko," " Wallen
stein's Lager," " Maria Stuart,"
" Yungfran von Orleans,", and his
last and master-piece, " Wilhelm
Tell." Friedrich Schlegel and his
brother A. W. Schlegel, by their lin
guistic zeal and research, have con
tributed much to the treasures of
the language. They are the founders
of the modern Romantic school of
German literature. The latterwrote
much also on art and history. Hi s
productions are valuable.
Leming came on to the stage a lit
tle earlier. His critical writings and
his theological and dramatical works
give him justly a very high place
among German writers. Mention
Might also be made of Klopstock and
Wieland, Heine, Koerner, Buerger,
Bone, and many others whose writ
ings swell the stream of valuable
German literature. We have spoken
but little of philosophical writings.
In the field of Scholastic Philosophy
and TheolOgy, the great names of
Kant, Fichte, Schelling and Hegel
the world never , can forget nor
ignore. Great minds will make them
selves felt, though shrouded in the
mists of Rational' n 1 and Skepticisii.
I will close this article by adding
that no language presents a broader
field for study and found investi
gation and research ro than the Ger
man. "The literature' is fall of
strength and beauty to a degree even
of almost Asiatic luxuriance." Here
are some of the ablest thinkers
that the world has ever produced.

After the great and memorable
naval battle on the Mississippi, be

Stripes were victorious, and after the
Union army had taken possession of
that city, ,Col. F. formerly of this
county, took up his temporary
residence there .for the purpose Of

a light was seen ahead at one of the
stations where the boats sometimes
landed, and in nearing the point,
signs were made from shore to land
for the purpose of taking on' bales of
cotton. The boat accordingly 'land

and took possession of the boat:
They, captured the engineer, blew
out the lights, locked the doors .of
the engine room to better accom,

then set fire to the bundles of hay
on deck to destroy th - e - boat. In the
meantime, the passengers below who
had taken their berths for the night,
became alarmed and rushed out to
know the cause of the tumult. The
rebels met them at the head of the
gangway, and although the passen
gers offered to surrender, acme were
inhunianly shot down. - I
Col. F. was among those who had
retired for the night, and on hear
ing the noise

put on his pants, and hastened to
the scene of the slanghter, where, ,
finding no chalice for his life in that

the rebels were leading from the beat
as a fine prize, became frightened :
and broke away and went back to
the deck of the boat.
During this time, a Yankee engi
neer who was passenger on the boat,
seeing their extremity and danger,
crept under the machinery to the en
gine room, renewed the lights, re
versed the engine,' and moved the
bait so suddenly, the cables were
broken and the boat was moved from
- the landing. The rebels in great
consternation, leaped from the deck
into the river and. swam toward the
shore, while the boat passed into 'the
stream.
As soon as the boat was at a safe
distance, the few remaining on board
applied all Choir force in casting the,
burning bales of cotton and hay over
board to secure the boat from Sire,
and were soon making their way at
good speed toward Memphis where
they, arrived during the night. News
of the - disaster spreadthrough the'
city, and soon those who had friends

the passengers.
Among the anxious ones' was a

A letter on the religions character
of President Lincoln, by Mr. Miner,
an old neighbor and 'friend of the
President, contains some facts - not
heretofore known. We giTe RS con

It - has been 'a matter' ; of regret to
many good men that he came to his"
tragic end in such a place. But if the
circumstances of his-going there were
fully known, it might ;relieve their
minds somewhat. ' It has been said
that Mrs: LinColn "urged him to go
to the theatre 'against his will: This
is not so On the contrary, she tried .
o persuade him not to go, but he in
sisted. •I have this statement from
Mrs Lincoln herself. He said : "I
must bavea little rest. Alarge proces
sion of excited overjoyed , people will
visit me to-night: My imam are now
lame shaking hauds with the multi-.
tide, and the people will pull me to
pieces." He went to the theater, not
because he was interested in the play,
but because he was careworn and
weary • and needed quiet reposo.
Airs. Lincoln informed me that ho
seemed, to take no notice of what
was going on in the theater, from
the time he entered till the dis
charge of the fatal pistol. He . wag
overjoyed at the thought that the war
was over, and that there would be no
further destruction of -life. He said
the last day he lived was the happiest
of his life. The very last moments
of his concious life were spent in con
versation Vinitli his wife about future.

his term of office had expired. He
Said be wanted to Visit the holy land
and see those places hallowed:by the
footprints of the. Savior:Li.. He said
there was no city he,so much desired
to see as Jerusalem, and with that
word half spoken on his tongue, the
bullet from the pistol of the assassin
entered his brain, and the soul of the
great and good President wrs carried
by the pits, I angels to the New Jerusa

By far-the most valuable of all the

and they - were laid low in an instant
and covered with ashes and sand, then
new generations rose uwn them and ,
their race ; others followed, and thus
the work of incessant destruction and
as persevering regeneration went on
through countless ages. Hence, in
some places 150 successive forests,
each separated from the lower by a
few feet of sand and clay, have found
to have grown and fallen in turn,
one lying above the other. They did
not vanish, they did' not even decay;
but, beneath - _ the red, glOwing
heat of our glebe, - above' them a bur
ning 'atmosphere and a thick canopy
of-clouds pouring endlesa rains upon
the surface; changed gradually into
vast deposits of coal.. And when the
fuel became scarce upon the surface,
and men cast-anxious glances about
them for new means to create the
heat without Which existence -was
impossible on one-half of the globe,
and to procure the light that is indes
pensable to the enjoy ment and' the
usefulness of life,these immense treas
ures, stored up since time immemori
al„. were revealed to them, and ample
supplies, of both heat and light guar
ranteed for ages.
A correspondent of the. New York
Obserter,who is in.the mining regions
of Northern Pennsylvania, sends us
the following account Of a work 61
grace 'which had its beginning down
in a coal mine:
I. come to labor with the people
of Arnot, a Presbyterian minister for
Jesus Christ, the first Of November
bat. We have no church edifice,
and I saw from the first that we
must labor under great- disadvan
tages. But I felt drawn towards this
people, for I BOW found there were
many here who were earnestly pray
ing for pure . religion. We immedi
ately formed our session by ordering
Eire worthy men, and Went to work
gathering up-all the force we had for
our visitation from house to house.
we found we had -quite a numb er
with their certificates from Scotland,
d
the lanof Presbrianisat. As the
Week of Prayer dre sin, we Bent a
reqtiest s to the Fulton Street Prayer.
Meeting. ' We kept the fact before
us t h at prayers were put up for win
tbe'heart of the great metropolis,and
ire met every night and prayed for
the blessing. 0, how 'earnest were
these hard-worldng men who spend
their strength in the bowels of the
earth 1 I learaed that they had their
hour of prayer, wheat they would
cease their toil and pour out Unit

HOLMES ON WOMEM.
In the fourth instalment
.of,Tll e
Poet at the •Breakfast Table in the
April number of the Atlantic, Dr,
Holmes says a good many witty and
wise about women, which might be
read, with pleasure and profit at the
conventions over which Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe delights' to,preside. or
instance:—
A. woman, notwithstanding. she 13
the best of listeners,..knows her busi
ness,-and it is a woman's business to
please. I don't say that itis not her
business to vote, but I do say that
the woman who does not please, is a
false note in the harmonies of nature.
She may not have youth beauty, or
even manners ; she must have
something in her voice or expression
or both, which it makes you feelbet
ter disposed toward your race to look
at or listen to. She knows as well as
we do ; and the first question after.:_
you have been faith); your soul into
her conclusion is, did I please ? A
woman never forgets .her sex. She
would rather talk with a man than an
angel, any
. day.
1 And again :
' The less there is of sex about a wo
man the more she is dreaded. But
take a. real woman at her best mo
ment-,-well dressed enough to be
pleased with herself, not so resplend
ent as to be a show and a sensation,
with varied outside influence that set
yibrating the. harmonic' notes of her
nature stirring in the air about her—
and what has social life to compare
with one of Wow. vital interchanges
of thought and feeling , with her that
make an hour ':memorable. - -'What
. 111:1 equal her tact, delicacy, subtlety
of apprehension, her quickness to-feel
The changes of temperature as the
warm and cool current:: of talk blow,
by . - turns? At one moment she is
microscopically intellectual, critical,
scrupulous in judgment as `fin anal
yst's balance, and_ the next aii.sym
pathetic as the open rose that sweet
ens the wind from whatever 'quarter
it finds its way to her bosom. is
in tho. hospitable soul of a woman
that a man, forgets he is sstranger.
and so becomes natural and truthful,
at the same time thathe is mesmer-
ized by all - these divine differences
which make her a mystery and a be
wilderment.
