A Fine Poem. [From the London .Behdet, Jan, 27.3 We are indebted to the alragazinefiir die Literatur des Auslandes for the knowledge of a rising poet in the far west, of whom we believe none of our readers have heard, but whose name will certainly become familiar ere long to all loVers of true poetry. Two years ago, in the midst of thezreat Ameri can struggle between North and South, a society was formed of men residing in the Western States, who had been educated at any of the great public schools of the Repub lic. This society, which numbers between 500 and 600 members; held its annual meet ing in June last, and issued'au Bvo. pain pblet of 108 pages, under the title of "-Ora tion, Poem and Speeches . delivered at the Second Annual Meeting of the Associated Alumni of the Pacific Coast, held at Oak june 6th, 1865. .Published "by'the- -Association. San Francisc; Towne & Bacon." Mr. Edward Rowland Sill, a young bank er of San Francisco, wrote the Poem on President Lincoln's death, which - we quote at length (from the pages of our aerxnan co temporary, extracted probably from the only copy of the pamphlet to be met with on this side of the Atlantic. We have headed it:— THE NOBLEST SOUL OE - ALL. Were there no crowns on earth, . No evergreen to weave a hero's wreath That he must pass beyond the gates of death, lOttiffern, our slain hero; to be crowned?' Could, there ~on our unworthy earth be Naught to befithis worth?. The noblest soul of all! When was there ever; since our Washing ton, A man so pare, so wise, so patient; one. Who walked with - this high goal alone in sight, To speak, to do, to sanction only Right, Though very heaven should. fail? Al' not for him,Ave weep; ' What honor more eduld be in store for him? Who would have had him linger in this And troublesome world; when his great work was done? Who would not leave that worn and weary one Gladly to go to alCep? For us the stroke was just; We were not worthy of that patient heart; We might have helped him more, not stood apart, And coldly criticised his works and ways— Too late now, all too late, our little praise Sounds hollow o'er his dust. Be merciful, our God! Forgive the meanness of our human hearts, That never, till a noble soul departs, See half the worth, nor hear the angel's wings, Till they go rustling heavenward as he springs Up from the mounded -sod Yet what a deathless crown Of Northern in ftrid Southern orange flower - , For victory, and the , land's new bridal hour, Would we have _wreathed for that beloved brow! Sadly upon his'sleeping forehead now We lay our cypress down, Oh, martyred erre, farewell! Thou hast not left thy people quite alone; Out of this beautiful life there comes a tone Of power, of love, of trust, a prophecy, Whose fair fulfilment all the earth shall be, And all thefuture tell. _ THE PHYLATIELFHLIL SCHOOL OF DESDIN. Address of fir. Braidwood to the Senate. In the State Senate, a few days ago, the following proceedings occurred : Mr. Bigham—Mr. Speaker, as most of the Senators are aware, the Principal of the Philadelphia• School of Design, Mr. T. W. Braidwood, is present, and desires to pre sent to the Senate a portrait of the late Pre sident of the United "States: The painting . waaAos.ecuted, at least so far as the copy is concerned, by a girl educated - in the School of Design, and has.been sent asst. present to the SEinate. " ` ' • Mr. Braidwood,desires, in presenting the portrait; to make'some stiggestionsin refer ence to the School of Design. I therefore move that Mr. Braidwood now have leave to make an address. The motion of Mr. Bigham was agreed to. Mr. Braidwood was then introduced to the' • S'enate'by the Speaker, and made the following addreks: - • - • - • - Mr, Speakerand Senators, in the name of ilie"Philaderpliia School of Design . ,"' I beg io presentio• - you this portrait'-of-our late and, ouchlamented President, Abraham ItWoUld be vain in the td try and say a word about the character of that great man, on which eulogy hath already almost become exhausted. I have only to ask yon, then,Senators to acceprof this pdrtrait; as a second contri bution to a State gallery of art. It was painted by a young woman hardly yet out of her teens, who, when she entered the school of design, knew nothing of art: and in this respect it marks the advance of two important things in our State, viz: the systematic culture_ of the beautiful, and the opening of other avenues of better paid em ployment for wemen;and I here expressthe hope that from the time, last year, when we presented a portrait of Washingtbn to the House, may; date the commencement of the annual accumulations of the portraits of the heroes of our great people; so that when vi sitors come to this capital from our own or other States or countnes,they may be led to exclaim,"Pennsylvania venerates the I cannot express to you, Senators, the gratitude I feel, for this opportunity of lay ing before YOur honorable body the funda mental ideas involved in this school of de sign movement, that has been going on in Our Commonwealth for this. sixteen. years past. Were I not, after the most matured con sideration, deeply convinced that it is a subject worthy of the thought of patriot and christian.statesmen, I would not dared to have sought this opportunity of addressing you. A humble citizen stands before you to plead, that that culture which-has rendered; Greece immortal, has given the Markets off the earth to France, and what England ex pacts to become - the workshop of the world by, may be established in our great manu facturing Commonwealth, and received its fostering care and support. TliciMilted States is the only enlightened nation on the earth without schools of art and design established and partially sup ported by r the State for developing and.regn- Wing:the. testebf the people, as well as.in enlcallng a correct knowledge of the rules of art and ornamentation which govern in their application to manu.factures. It will be impossible for our country to be much longer 'without a system of art cul ture. Some one of our States will, at no distant day,h - Rstablisapi foster this,kind of edutittion,'which State, according to the law ofprecedence, will (as is the ease with Fralne)lecfp9the centre of, art, beauty and ortiamen al mannfaettikes on this continedt ag . * . l is liriaircnlftniLheci - irnh'Od the eastern conti riellta!wit, fr • vain for ne "to talk about manufac turers. starting and encouraging • such schools, for however it may be with other kinds of manufactures; the,historypf orna *mental- mantifactUres abundantly evidence that at 'a certain point, competition with THE DAILY EVENING- BULLETIN 1 ATi,ADELPHIA s SATURDAY; MARCH 17; 1866:--;-TRIPLE SHEET. them begins,with cheapness of preductioq and-' showiness:. of pt3ttarns rather than. that "of beauty. - of forth; color malt design. France answered all ob jections tc,rsupporting smell schools, partially at the eipense of.. the State, by establishing thein in 1767, and every nation, to-day,pays homage to as well as large prices for her products. England, in 1835, by the logic of necessity,wtts compelled to establish schools of deSign Or he driven from the Markets' by France.. Prussia,in 1833, did the same, - and her goods are found daily on the same lahelves - with these-of France - and England. Bavaria, in 1828, all the other continental States at later periods, and the effecfs are seen in the excellence of their manufactures which are astonishing _every one,and sooner or later, I repeat, some one of our States will do so. I hope it will be our own Penn sylvania, The Royal. Free School of Paris, for im parting—instruction. in drawing, painting and design, as applied to porcelain, tapes try and carpet manufactures, was estab lished in 1767., This school, with those located at Dejon, Nantes, Lyons,' Bor deaux, &c., are supported - either wholly. by the government, or 'with the co-operation of manufacturers and municipalities, assisted by the government. There are now over forty schools of de sign in Prussia, under the general charge or the royal academies of Berlin and Dussel dorf. In the elementary schools: tuition_ is free, and in the higher _academies the charges ainountonly about three' dollars a year, and this is remitted, in 13a913$ of in digence • ' -- The edict.. establishing. :the Bavarian schools 'of design in 1828 says: "The general plan is directed not only to imparting a scientific and Practical education in art, and creating spirit of art 'feeling-throughout the kingdom, which will reflect itself upon our manufactures, but to - develop .in the pupils a high moralsense and truexeligion, to attach the' hearth of the people to their native country and her laws; and finally, to the establishment of refined - habits and manners among the - German people. It is worthy of remark that all European countries had, before the establishment of • their schools of design, a kind of pattern shops', that sometimes went by the name of schools. But the manufacturers did little else than pirate each other's patterns repro ducing them in •the showiest and cheapest manner—just as most of our American manufacturers do at present—take the designs of France, English and other manu facturers, cut them down, in the reprodu cing process, to the lowest possible cost. His neighbor may have selected the same design and outsell him in the market by its deeper degredation. This is an evil which the manufacturers of all countries have been alike guilty of, and which is the curse of the ornamental manufacturers of the State of Pennsylvania to-day. There has been no correction found for it, but in the estab lishment of schools of design by the Ste tes, assisted by the subscriptions of manufac turers and other parties where the sceools are located. It was thus that the schools of France and other continental Stales were started, and England has a standing offer of six hundred pounds per annum to such lo calities as will raise similar slims for estab lishing schools of this character. It was according to this rule that the Philadelphia School of Design, assisted as it alas been for four years by the bounty of the State,established schools at Pittsburgh and Wilkesbarre, the former subscribing $5,000 and the latter $2,000, and by which we expect to locate two other schools, one at Williamsport, and another at Reading—the preliminary steps having. been taken al ready to accomplish this? • The experience of the first twelve years of the Philadelphia School's existence has been but a repetition of. the history of all such schools started with the mutual assistance of manufacturers and benevolent persons —the latter expecting too much and the former wanting to control them for their especial and immediate interests. And it was only after we received support from the State that any real creditable ad vance was made. It is within the truth, when I tell you that we have collected more money by private subscription and made greater advances in the objects for which the school was establishes in the last four years that we have been receiving State aid than we had made in the whole previous 12 years of the school's existence. When we receive the cases of casts, of which this is the bill of lading for fourteen cases on board the Joseph Clark, we twill have imported from the British Museum and department of scienceand art, and from Continental .schools of, design, over forty cases ofantique figure and ornament copies of the best styles of middle age and modern ornament as applied_to manufactures, for distribution to the schools already in or that may_ be set up in the State. Our sys tem ofinstruction is formed after the Eu ropean, and I think will never bring dis credit on our Commonwealth. Notwitu standing' that this great progress has been made in the four years that the State has been fostering these schools, there is yet very much to be accomplished. Onr cistern of education must be introduced into the private and public schools, duplicate copies of examples of ancient, middle age and modern ornament in one museum, must be placed at the principal manufacturing and other centres of the State. And these examples must be largely increased. Mu seums of manufactures of the greatest ex cellence in metal, glass, furniture, pottery works, carpets and other woven fabrics, prints, wall paper, &c., must be formed in connection, so that our people and arti zans can have constantly before them, as every European nation has, the best examples,in art for their study and guidance 'in every department of art and manufacture. This, with other things just as important, is the mission of the school of design move ment in Pennsylvania. Whe her it is worthy of the fostering care of the State, is for you, statesmen, to determine, to-carry it into[effect. 'I do'not ask for such large annual appropriations as will supercede the necessity of subscriptions from the public wherever such schools may be established, for that would retard • the progress and de velopment of the' whole movement. But what Ido ask is, that the State will con tinue to encourage the schools <already ex isting, and promote the establishment of others by repeating the appropriations of last year, with one thousand . dollars for the school located in the northeastern part of the State. . , The development of art-education for the improvement of manufacturers in all coun tries, has been found to depend entirely upon the - rhutual c^ritributions-of•manufac turers and the public, assisted and en couragid by the State.- In- view.of this, I pray you, Senators,to consider the Wisdom of continuing to• =this school of design movement your fostering ante,---Without--it,---itassist must :inevitably failr,with it, its influence will grow, year after Year -until our great Commonwealth (renowned for its manufactures) shall be come dotted with institutions for culture in art, beauty and, design,. Itnd - thus- standing in the centre of a, sisterhood of States, will receive the homage of them - all. This school of design movement in the State of: Pennsylvania is known favorably thrOuglion't sthe other States. Already 'we have students from-Chicly New York, Rhode Island. Connecticrit, Sm. A few years more 'oi the sadne,-support r from, the Stafe, as we have -had .for !the, past four years, .and cer tainly not five years shall pass away-before we shall have become-the conservator of the fine and ornamental arts of the United States. GWEr,UI3: thenl.l:PraY you, six thousand dollars per annum for the next five years enabling ns to start schools at ever TiAti table pointyhereyie :OW geVaxtb scriptions sufficient to do so, as well as to enable us to complete the importation of what has : been so successfully commenced viz - copies' , of all ,The best -:works of classic; and standard art and manufactures, to be duplicated to each &school in the State. ' The. rnost petty nation in Etirope have museums such as these open to the public daily, and shall this great State, which has already com menced the godd work;'refuse now to com plete it? If it is possible, 'I would like your Com mittee on Education, or that of Manufac tures, or both of them, to be especially di rected to inquire into the exPediency of the. State fostering schools of design and:rrnise: urns of ornamental art. A similar inquiry has been made by specially appointed com mittees in; every civilized country In the world, and the result has been the estab mishment of the schools and. museums. Can the greatest manufacturing State in • Our country get along without such,.dou sidered ifidispensable by 'every mannfac- , turing . nation on the face of the globe? , • I wish especially to call your attention to the impossibility of us ever being able to carry - outriuridea - of "American manufac tures ' without such schools as I here',urge , the establishment of in Pennsylvania. An educated people; like require and will continue to demand those articles to which has been apPlied . the, greatest amount of cultivated take and beauty. I respectfully suggest to you, Senators, if it would not be wiser for this great man ufacturing Statecof Pennsylvania to vigo rously encourage art culture, as the ' most efficient and certain means of excluding foreign, manufactures, by the gradual improvement' of our own. Pass what laws we may for the protection of our art produe, yet the great t_ Irma found in the universal wants. of •the people will modifyor abolish them. I therefore ask you, Senators, if the first pre-requisite to the protection of our manufactures tie not the 'development of taste and beauty amongst ourselves ? In view of this more philosophic method of protecting our manufactures than any that have been yet urged, (the elaboration of which will show a great many other good results, conspicuous amongst which will be the creation of other branches of elevated labor for both sexes—especially women), I therefore pray your honorable body to pat in the general appropriation bill for this year,one thousand dollars for the Pittsburgh school of design, one thousand dollars for the Northeastern school of design at Wilkes barre, and four thousand dollars for the Philadelphia school of design, one thousand dollars of which is to be appropriated as has been ordered for two years past, viz: That one thousand dollars be expended in procuring from European, schools of science and art, standard examples of architecture and ornament as applied to madufactures, copies of which are to be placed at manu facturing and other available points in the State. Senators, thisis all that is required from the Commonwealth to carry forward this important work—the ultimate education of a civilized people. Mr, Wallis, the head of the school of de sign in Birmingham, who was one of the commissioners to the World's Fair, in Lm don, in speaking of the education of the ar tizaii class in the United States, and especi ally in Pennsylvania, says : "Here, where sound and systematic edu cation has been longest and in all proba bility most perfectly carried out,the greatest manufacturing developments are to be found,and here it is,also, where the greatest portion of the skilled workmen of thc United States are educated alike in the sim plest elements of knowledge, as in the most skillful appreciation of their ingenuity to the useful arts and the manufacturing industryof their country; from whence they are spreau over the vast territories of the Union, be coming the originators, directors and ulti mately the proprietors of establishments which would do no discredit to the maau factoring States of Europe." A little - further on in the report of which these are extracts, be says: " It has been thought desirable to mak.. these preliminary to reporting upon the present state of the class of industry under consideration, as there exist in England at least very erroneous views as to the present and growing tastes of the people of the United States. For whatever the past might have been, or the present may be, the future is likely to be very dillbrent. The daily in creasing intercourse with Europe is preg gent with great changes. English manufac turers have it especially . , in their p ewer to either assist the format ton of a purer taste in the American people, pr, by neglecting their growing judgmenti. to oppose and re Lard, but not crush it. By arresting its de velopment they are not likely to seen -e for themselves, or at least share very larg-ly in a market, for a long time almost entirety their own, but which is gradually becoming occupied by trans-Atlantic competitors. By neglecting the progress of a more enlighten ed and purer taste, they will evidently lose it altogether." thank y ou, Senators, for this opportunity, and beg that when the matter is brought beforesou, that you will give it your due consideration. The Speaker-4 accept on the part of the Senate, with high satisfaction, this specimen of American art. It shall be cherished and placed in honorable position among the ar chives of the State. It will be held in high appreciation not only in honor of him whose memory it .is intended to perpetuate, but also in the recognition of the fact that we have within our borders such native talent as is displayed in this work of art. The subject that has been brought to the notice of the Senate will receive that consi dpration which its importance and merits require. btJt3tifllY. i~4l 0-1 7 PEJEN Green Corn, Fresh Peaches, Fresh Tomatoes, Plums, 4te.
