[ii'or the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] A SOVVEIVIU. (From the French of Maurice de Gukrin.) Lifted from a bending crest Hangs a Castle old and dark; One proud tower commands the rest, As the mast above the bark. Oh! the dreams of Castles dark! And before it, the ascent Has a crown of urns and blooms— Blossoms for a battlement! Oh, the dreams of the perfumes Sweeping those enchanted blooms ! Eves of summer, autumn eves, Every day a little one, While the Angelus music grieves, Stays to see the dying sun— Dream of him, the little one ! Stays to float with clouds aloft, Or watch the birds at even-flight Assail the rugged woods in soft Battalions, trusting where to light— Dream of clouds, of birds in flight ! .Or to thread the tender glooms Talking fast with sisters dear, While the soul springs up and blooms In the moon's large atmosphere. Dream of moons, of sisters dear ! Castle, terrace, twilight hill, _ Well thou know'st, tell thou the dream! CAYLA Castle standeth still, Dearer still the sisters seem. Dream the dream, sweet CAYLA's dream! —E. S., Trans. NEW PIIBLICATIONO3. "The Gulistan, or Rose Garden, by Musle- Euddeen ' Sheik Saadi; translated from the original by Francis Gladwin. With an Essay on Saadi's life and genius, by James Ross, and a preface by R. W. Emerson." Boston, Ticknor & Fields, 1865. There is a degree in "Brahminism," or the continual self-consciousness of intellectual eminence, whether Hindoo, European or American, which is sure to result in mere artificial ness. This point of pride and ability once reached, the great hold of nature is lost,and growth ceases. Genius may still live in this state—even as the ivy, after reaching a cer tain height, will survive, though its roots be severed—but there is no addition made to the great brand) es,nothing more than grace fully twining conceits and masses of leaves, which are, indeed, each symbolical of glow ing life, but are not life itself. Literature in this condition is accurately described by the Chinese as "handsome talkee," and is prone to manifest itself, as with them, in maxims, adages or proverbs; for the mind which has ex hausted itself in skimming poetic and phil osophic art, ends by longing for rustic sim plicity, and always in vain. All the cows and cow-keeping in France could not make -an unsophisticated milkmaid of a queen familiar with corruption. The reader will find this "handsome talkee"—this last and most flippant state of poetry and "wisdom,"--carried very nearly to perfection in the Gulistan of Saadi. If he wishes to sift its brilliant heartlessness, and its appalling inhumanity, vice and mean ness, disguised as the most pretentious hu manity and earnestness, let him go one step further, and read translations of Hafiz, of Firdousi, and end with Bodenstedt's Mirza Shaffy—not forgetting the accurate description of the life and habits of this lat ter poet, who seems little inferior to any of his predecessors in "ability" and "wisdom." In the great difficulty , of distinguishing the works of one of these Persian poets fiom another in a translation, we find a convin cing proof of their exhaustion. Great indi viduality must always vanish when ingen uity is the highest art, when the blackest vice is disguised by, sentiments of piety and purity so profound (in profession) that a saint in the odor of sanctity cannot realize them, and when, finally, every sage and poet suffers under an incessant self consciousness of being the noblest, wisest and shrewdest of mankind. "The Gulistan," a collection of poetic moral tales, or expanded axioms fally flavored with the East—very quaint and racy to every scholar who loves the mere by-play of truth and art and studies the limits of intellect, finds its best counterpart in that imaginary work, "The Aged Black guard, a Moral Tale for Children," for which title we are indebted to a French writer, who, though his name is a popular synon yme for immorality, never dreamed, we will venture to say, of such diabolical depths of vice as appear to have supplied inspiration to the muse, or rather the Gany mede of Saadi and other Persian poets, and which are the more startling from glimpses being, given of them as a mere matter of course, unintentionally, in the most artless and and innocent manner im- aginable. Therefore Mr. .Emersonsays in a .omewhat hurried manner, that "with the exception of a few passages, of which we need not stop to give account, the morality of the Gtilistan. and. Bostan is pure"—which is perfectly true—but through these not so very few passages, as through Gulleyaz'a eyes, there is a glimpse of such an infernal gulf as might well alarm even an illumine of ,the Cairene House of Light, "to whom all is one, and one all." But the vines which grow over this infernal lava-crust are graceful—their wine is sweet and fine. "n van, the sovra gli altri it enor fe listo:" ' and finally by many unthinking, dilettanti readeis it is extremely probable that no searching glances will be thrown into these fire-rifts, and that the bard's ingenious praises of "alms, hospitality, justice, cour age, bounty and humility," will pass cur rent as the purest gold. Notwithstanding this, we think we can understand why it is that as most of our Orientalists are clergy men, there is some reason why "no trans lation of an Eastern poet has yet appeared in America," nor do we thi k there is much cause for Mr. Emerson to exult that "this neglect is about to be retrieved," so far as such moralists as Saadi are concerned. The Centenary of Methodism has : aroused a new interest in all that is con * nected with the founders of that branch of the Christian Church. Carlton & Porter, New York, have just published "The Women of Methodism" by Abel Stevens, L. L. D. It contains interesting biographies of Susanna Wesley, Lady Huntington and Barbara Heck, with sketches of their prin cipal female associates. As a practical demonstration of the religions influence of. Women this volume is a valuable and in. feresting one. For sale by Perkinpine & Higgins. T. B. Peterson (17.. Brothers have added two more volumes to their catalogue of at tractive novels. "Jealpusy" by George Sand, and "False Pride" by the author of •'Family Pride." The former is a tale of Italy and the latter is a picture of Amer-- life, and both will be found to be very pleasant in the way of light reading.

CHURCH DEBT PAlD.—After service yes • terday morning at the Green Street Metho dist Episcopal Church, a collection was taken up to pay off the floating debt of the Church.

THE ELECTION TO-MORROW.—The elec tion in Camden to-morrow is fraught with consequences of an important and vital character. Besides the imperative necessity of electing the entire National Union ticket, the citizens, irrespective of party, are called upon to decide a great local matter. The proposition of purchasing the Camden Water Works, a proceeding which will in crease the debt of the city to $600,000, is to be submitted to a vote of the people, and, they are called upon to sanction it. It is imperative that they vote understandingly on the question, because the rate of taxation is now so heavy that, it is often the case, poor men cannot pay them without robbing their children of bread; and this act, if car ried into effect, will increase the rate at least twenty-five per cent. The interest on the debt incurred by the purchase, at seven per cent., will be $21,000, while the last year's income from the works was only $16,000, making $5,000 to be raised by taxation, on this item alone. In view of these draw backs, the citizens ought thoroughly to' ex amine this important matter before casting their votes. Oilmen MATTERS.—Delegations from three fire companies in Camden attended the Tabernacle Baptist Church yesterday morn ing, by invitation. During . the morning services eight persons received the right hand of fellowship, and were admitted as members: In the morning several others were immersed. A large accession to the membership of this church has been made during the past winter, and the prospects of further increase are highly flattering. THE GAME LAW.—An act has just passed the Legislature of New Jersey, amendatory of an act relative to the law for the protec tion of game in the State, and fixing severe penalties for violations of its provisions. Such a law has been much needed, for the slaughter of all kinds of game in years past has been rather indiscriminate. SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—A sad and shocking accident occurred at the depot of the Camden and Amboy Railroad, at the foot of Bridge avenue, on Saturday after noon, by which one of the workmen employed lost his life. He, in company with two others, were engaged in removing a hogshead of soda-ash from the boat to the platform, and the tide being low, it caused an ascent up which the hogshead had to be elevated. By Some mishap, it rolled back on and over him, crushing him in a dread ful manner. Medical aid was immediately summoned, and the poor man was kindly attended to, but his injuries were so severe that he died on Sunday morning. His name was Michael Crimness. FINANCIAL.—The financial condition of the Board of Education during the past year is represented as follows : Receipts, $37,694 15; expenditures, $30,479 60; leaving a balance in the Treasury of $7,214 55. The amount paid to teachers for salaries is $12,- 728 36. There is an indebtedness against the Board of $20,000, while its assets amount to $71,728 55. REBLIRKABLE QULETNESS.—The remark able quietness which has reigned in Cam den for some time past, and its freedom from incendiarism and burglaries, may be attributed to the well organized and effi cient police force under Marshal Campbell and Mayor Budd. The people will re-elect them. ORGANIZATION.—The new council which is to be elected to-morrow in Camden, will organize on Friday evening, by the election of a President, Clerk, &c. The present officers, it is believed, will be re-elected. Mr. Thoman, the clerk, can scarcely be dispensed with, and his retention is neces sary. THE PoLns.—lnstead of going into effect immediately, the new law regulating the opening and closing of the election polls does not govern this spring's elections. The polls in Camden, therefore, will open at 8 o'clock A. M., and close at 8 P. M., as heretofore. AMUSEMENTS THE CHESTNITT.—This will be a busy week at the theatres and particularly at the Chestnut, where a new play of great merit is presented this evening, entitled "The Firemen of Philadelphia, or the Broad Street Heiress." It is prepared with all the care and lavish expense for which the Chestnut is so well known, and will be supported by the full strength of the company. The per formance will conclude with "Nursery Chickweed," with Miss Orton as the heroine. The drama of the "Stolen Jewels" is in active preparation. To-morrow afternoon and evening the firemen who were injured at the great fire on North Third street will take a benefit. In the afternoon "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room" will be presented, and in the evening "The Firemen of Phila delphia" and "Nursery Chickweed." On Wednesday evening Mr. Lennox takes his benefit, presenting "The Firemen of Phila delphia," "The Lottery Ticket" and "Wanted 1,000 Miliners." On Friday even ing that superb actor Mr. G. H. Clarke pre .tnts his claims, the bill comprising "The omical Countess," "The Firemen of Phila delphia" and "The Fenian's Compact." Of course he will have a spendid house. THE WALNUT.—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean begin to-night an engagement of five eights. They will be sustained by Messrs. cathcart and Everett and Miss Chapman, I.)gether with the strength of the company. To-night Shakespeare's play of "Henry VIII," will be presented, Mr. Kean repre .enting Cardinal Wolsey, and Mrs. Kean queen Katharine. The performance will conclude with the "Jealous Wife," Mr. Kean representing Mr. Oakley, and Mrs. Kean Mrs. Oakley. To-morrow (Tuesday) "The Merchant of Venice" will be played; on Wednesday "Louis XI;" on Thursday "Hamlet;" and on Friday the engagement R ill close with "The Stranger" and "The Wonder." The great and well-deserved reputation of the -Keane will, no doubt, secure crowded houses for all their perform ances. We understand that Miss Effie Germon, one of the sprightliest, and when she takes pains one of the ablest actresses in this country will shortly take her benefit at the Walnut. THE ARCH.—Mr. Chanfrau will close his engagement at the Arch this week. To night "The Streets of New York," which drew a crowded house on Saturday, will be repeated. It is put on the stage with great care and with so many novelties that it appears almost like a new piece. Mr. Chanfrau's acting is admirable. Mr. Par sloe wins the same applause that he for merly did, as the "boot-black," and Miss Logan plays fairly and dresses splendidly. To-morrow evening Mr. Wm. A. Moore, Stage Manager of the'Arch, will take a benefit. On Saturday evening Mr. Stuart Robson takes a benefit, appearing in -Hamlet, or the Wearing of the Black," Craig's last burlescine; in "The Kitchen Belle" and:i in "The Wandering Minstrel;" the performance closing with "Robert Emmett," with E. L. Tilton as the Irish Patriot AT THE A3IERICAN each evening and on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, di versified bills are presented. The Fowler sisters appear to-morrow evening. THE PANORAMA OF IRELAND opens at National Hall this evening.
