St. ISartin's Slimmer, -by Smut) IL
, Brewster .
Clothed in ;the Pleasing garb common to
'all offspring 'of the. University PresS, this
';scent publication 'of Messis: - . Ticknor a
, comes tows. Printer- and binder.
.have, dressed the-work in properest form,
`and like the faces of some men, the proirdse,
held out by the exterior leads us to hopefor
much 'pleasure from after,acqnaintarice.
So:much for externals Now'for essentials,
•which,l, in our experience, at least, fnlfiled.
the hopes we had formed. ;
Since the BE Mr. • Eustace's classical
" Tour Through Italy," (which, from haVing
been :one of the books , t 3lO gentleman's.,
library should be without," has beconie 0110
of those most rarely looked into,) and Ma-i.- '
dame deStael's genial " Corinne," we have
had ap many volumes from those - who have
gone over the beaten path, th, atwe had long
since begun 'to doubt that so delightful a',
book as 'the one:before' us remained to be
written on this most familiar of subjects.
• As an addition to artliterature, it is not
unworthy a'Place next to the worins of Mrs.
Sound ingdgment, 'refined take
and extensive reading are displayed
throughout the wort t; and Much know
ledge 'otinen and things may he derived
Its Chief claims "to praise must rest'upon
the' delightful descriptions and the art-.
maxims, original and selected, which; tO-'
tether; fill, the greater part of the volume.
We had almost Wished 'that there were
fewer quotiithms and more of Miss Brew
ateficideali. Still,. it is not ungrateful to
fad thinia - pretty thoughts so pleasantly
- woven into the tissue of her story. Many
.of her authorities are,te the gene ral
tluite recondite, ando..of the extra - eta prove
gate -acquaintance with the liters
ttge of eritinism,. In drawing upon foreign
or ancient authors, she has avoided the
fectation of peing learned' "in the tongues,"
and favors the reader with' the translated
quotations, thus obblating that which, in ;
her previous nevel;"Compensation," proved
a - serious drawbackto the reader's pleasure.
Esren here she has, on several occasions, re
,lapsed into the old fault of neglectini her
mother English; for if it be allowable to use
the French noun console for want of an
Engliidt equivalent; there can be no doubt
that pottefeuitle is translatable, and that otts,
portfolio la equally as expressive as the
daintier French term.
As a story it is less [meriterfdits. "St.
Martha's Summer" confirms 0013 impression
-made ;while reading "Compensation," viz ,
that the autlacir's forte lies rather in the do
main of criticism than in the xealm of poetic
_fable tor romance Ivriting. , , , But while we
doubt that the power of 4onstructiveness:
applied to narration, is hers to any re
markable -degree, we are not the leas will
, - Mg to give her credit for fine powers of
-analysis. The subtle glance, the nice dis
cernment, which alights upon the central
- -ideanf gi musical- composition and follows
it through its tone-developtnent,is evidently
hers. Not less is she gifted with that re-
fined taste (which, though inborn, needs
like all other gifts the most extensive cul
ture) that is required by one who chooses to
apply the results of testhetic studies in. 32e w
directions or without too closely following
the guiding steps of the older critics.
It isthis Which makes it difficult, and ye
easy, to say that which is new upon art•
Paradoxes may be hatched profusely, but
' maxims are not soeasily tliseovered. Thus
even Ruskin is chargeable with many
grave errors of judgment, and while we
know that he is great as a word painter, we
are aware that his theories are not so happy
as his stylistic achievement";
in truth, we have, of late;almost dreaded
to.open a work on criticism. 1 - ,n music this
is especially true, so great is the amount
of twaddle which has been thrust upon a
pliankpublic.
Does not Hood tell that "Musical enthu-
siasm is like turtle soup; for every quart of
zeal there are ninety-nine gallons of mock,
And calves' heads in proportion!"
Perhaps this should afford us a clue to the
muddy style of some of • those would-be art
.critics who havebeen so industrionsinmys
-tifying the old, in order to make it seem as
if it were new. Many of them betray a de:
sire to atone for the absence of inspirEtion
by the affectation of it, and this, of colise,
.makes unnatural writing. We need critics
who will discounie of pictures and statues
and cathedrals and symphonies, with inge
4nnousness—who will tell us what they have
felt and thought, instead of wearying us
with senseless imitations of enthusiasm.
Thus shall we deem those days as bright
ones which shall usher in the Eothens of
art-critisism.
In this regard the book before us is clear
sensible and instructive. Its descriptions
are vivid, tire dialogue is, easy and natural,
and the subject, though old, is one . which
twill never lack interest whim treated with
the taste and jtidgment, the lore and
leaming, which so eminently qualify
Miss Brewster for the task she has accom
plished.
Khali we ever tire of the story of Italy,
With her poets and musicians, her sculptures
and painters?
"Land to memory and to freedom dear.
Land of the melting lyre andeonqderlng spear, .'
Land of the. Tine-clad hill and fragrant grove,
Of art and arms, of genius and of love."

A MISSIONARY'S ADVFAN'TIIRE wren CAN
NIBAL-S.—AIL English missionary, who de
scribes life in New Zealand in the last nun
her of Hours at Home, relates an incident,
that occurred to him on one of the South
Pacific Islands. While on a cruise he
touched at a Small island for fresh food,fruit
and vegetables. Of these he obtained a fall
supply, and was about leaving, when a
chief asked him if he would like some flesh
food. Says the missionary: "Thinkingthat
doubtless he had:hogs,l said yes. He gave a
quick glance around hint as if he was look
ing for a messenger, and:singled out and
called to him a fine young, lad apparently
about 18 years of Age. The boy came and
stood before him; and before I was aware of
what he was about to do, and having my
back turned to him looking at the fruit,etc.,
I heard the sound of a heavy blow, and
looking quickly around found the still qui
vering body of the boy laid at my feet, with
the words, "Nevi ano to kai?" (Is that food
sufficient for you?) Horror-stricken, I de
nounced moat bitterly the deed, and leaving
all-the provisions behind on the ground, re
turned sorrowfully on board.
THE M_ALDEN MLTRDEREIL—The follow
ing are the reasons assigned by Edward W.
Green, the Malden murderer, in liis peti
tion to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts,
asking for a writ of error: First—ThUt the
Court had no power to enter judgment, and
award .sentence of death against the de
fendant npon his plea,without the interven
tion-of a jury. Second—That the plea of the
defendant in legal effect is not such an ad
mission of guilt as will support the sentence
passed by the Court. Third—lt nowhere
appears in the record that the crime for
which the defendant has been sentenced was
murder in the first degree. The case is to
be argued before the Supreme Court.
THE new Mayor of Now Orleans, Mr. Rc>-•
zier, just appointed by:General Canby, was
a member of the Secession Convention. He
did not vote for separate secession, but was
very violent and abusive of Lincoln and
Hamffif and the Northern Abolitionists.
He remained in New Orleans, but refused to
take the amnesty oath, becouse of its refer
ence to slaves.'- Until the surrenderof Kirby
Smith, he was chairman of the committee
which called the last Democratic 'Conven
tion, which asked compensation for slaves.
