THE VETTE , AND THE GHAT* The women o o u • : t ississippi • - mated by nobler ,sentiments than are many their sisters, have shown themselves Impartial. in their offerings made to the memory of tile dead. They strewed flowers alike on the graves of the Confederate and of the National wham—New York Tribune. By the flow of the inland river, Whence the fleets of iron have tied, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver, Asleep are the ranks of the dead;— Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day;— Under the one, the Blue; Under the other, the Gray. These in the rho,.. Those in the gloom of defeat, All 'with the battle-blood gory, In the dusk of eternity meet;— Under the Bud and the dew, Waiting the judgment day;— Under the laurel, the Rue; Under the willow, the Gray. From the silence of sorrowful hours The desolate mourners go, Lovingly laden with flowers Alike for the friend and the foe;— Under the sod and the clew, Waiting the judgment day;— Under the roses, the Blue; Under the lilies, the Gray.' So with an equal splendor The matting sun-rays fall, With a toneb, impartially tender, On the blossoms blooming for all; .Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day;— B M roidered with gold, the Blue; ellowed with gold, the Gray 150, 'when the Summer ealleth, On fbrest and field of grain „ With an equal murmur falleth The cooling drip of the rain;— Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day;— Wet with the rain, the Blue; Wet with the rain, the Gray. Sadly, but not with upbraiding, The generous deed was done; In the storm of the years that are fading, No braver battle was won;— Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day;— Under the blossoms, the Blue, Under the garlands, the Gray. No more shall the war-cry sever, Or the winding rivers be red; They banish our anger forever . • yhen they laurel the graves of our dead ! \Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day;— Love and tears for the Blue, Tears and love for the Gray. ILITERARY AND ART ITEMS. Mysterious Persons in Ilistorig The records of the past furnish us with half a dozen historical characters that seem to have had a mysterious existence after the public had been informed of their tragical deaths. To such an extent has the belief of a post existence 'been carried that one could say, with great propriety, in the language of Sir William Jones: "The block may soak their gore, Their headamay sodden in the sun, their limbs Be strung to city gates and castle walls; But still their spirit.walks abroad." And thesespirits seem generally to be en cased in tangible earthly-bodies, if we may credit the tales of travelers. This young republic has not been slow in making a start ling history, and one that, has all the romantic pages of century-old Europe— Forhave we not J. WrIXES BOOTH, who, like that phantom ship, the Flying Dutchman, is, from time to time, reported to have been seen in propria, persona in vari ous parts of the world; the latest story being that he now is the captain of a pirate vessel, and the terror of the China seas. At inter vals the press informs the public that some reliable correspondents have seen the notori ous assassin in Europe. One time lie has been seen playing rouge et noir at Baden, Baden; another, at the opera in Vienna. One positively swears that he saw him driving in the Bois de Boulogne at Paris. And another is equally confident that he beheld him visit ing St. Peter's at Rome. One fact is certain in regard to the disposal of the corpse of Booth, that its resting-place is known to but few, and the public at large are in doubt as to whether it now moulders in a secluded and unknown araye, or whether the dark waters of the Potomac received his mangled re mains. Booth, indeed, may be said to be the only really mysterious personage we have had in our annals, although, perhaps, for the few years ..we have been an, independent Re public; no' nation ever made its history so fast. One of the local traditions of New York that 1) as caused much wonderment is the case of JOHN O. COLT, brother of Samuel Colt, inventor of the Colt revolver. He murdered in 16-P2 a man named Adams, to whom he owed an amount of money, and who had dogged Colt consid erably. Adams ailed at the office of Colt, on the oorner of Broadway and Chambers streetsochen a scuffle ensued,and Colt, seizing a hatchet lying near, despatched his creditor. He then went out, closed the door, and while Walking. in the park resolved to return, cut the body up and send it to New Orleans; but in the Meantime Adams was missed, and having been last seen going into Colt's office, that gentleman was suspected, and it was as sertained from a carman that a box had..left the office. This • box was found at the bottom of the vessel. Colt was tried and "convicted, but his counsel (who confessed to it on his dying bed), introduced a. knife into the peson with which Colt com mitted suicide ji le morning of his execu tion. Several I ysterious circumstances were attached to r s murder and suicide, for the evening before the execution a man in dis guise called upon the Sheriff and offered him $l,OOO to afford facilities for the escape of the criminal, which proposition was not enter tamed; and an hour oritwo before Colt was to have been hanged tbTThell-tower of the Tombs took fire, and a great deal of confu aion ensued. Although an inquest was held en the body, it was almost univetsally be lieved that Colt had escaped. Even now re ports come from various parts of the world that he has been seen alive, and about fifteen years ao many sensational articles appeared, purporting that he had escaped, and was still living. "THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY." Whether or not the person who bears this pseudonym was the subject of a cfeverly concocted fable or not, it is at least a singular ease. The person who is said to have borne this title was a Philip Nolan, a notice of whose death appeared a year or two since in a New. York journal. It ran thus: "Died on board U. S: corvette Levant, on the i lth of May, Philip Nolan." The story is as follows: When Aaron Burr made his first dashing expedition down to New Orleans, in 1805, he met a lieutenant named Phillp . Nolan, belong ing to the Legion of the West. The young officer became fascinated with the brilliant statesman who enlisted him in his treasonable schemes. The authorities suspected Nolan as being an accomplice of Burr's, and on the court-martial the impetuous youth cried out, irt a fit of frenzy, "D---,n the United States! I %What I may never hear of the United States swath." These words shocked the Revolu 11Lopary of4cere that formed the court-martial, THE DAILY EVENING BIILLETIN. -- PI - lIIJADELPTILA, TVIIDAY,,AufaTsT 1867 and Nolan was condemned to be sent on ,board 'a vessel, where he was never to hear t 6 . -tverdS;-United States, .and_the instructions received *ere as follows : • "WASIIIICRITONi - (with -the . date, which_. must have been late in 1807).—Sir . : You . will receive from Lieutenant Neale the person of Philip Nolan, late a lieutenant in the United States army. "This person on his trial by court-martial expressed with an oath the wish that he might `never hear of the United States again.' "The Court sentenced him to have his wish fulfilled. "For the present, the execution of 'the order is intrusted hy the Presiient to this de partment. "You will take The prisoner on board your ship, and keep him there with such zireciiii- • tions as shall prevent his escape. "You will provide him with such quarters, rations and clothing as would be proper for an Wheer of his late rank, if he were a pas senger on your vessel on the business of his government. "The gentlemen on board will make any arrangements agreeable to themselves regard ing his society. He is to be exposed to rio indignity of any kind, nor is he ever un necessarily to be reminded that he is a prisoner. "But under no circumstances is he ever to hear of his country or to see any information regarding it; and you will specially • caution all the officers under your command to take care, that in the various indulgences which he may be granted, this rule, in which his punishment is involved, shall not be broken. "It is the intention of the government that he shall never again see the country - which he has disowned. Before the end of your cruise you will receive orders which will give effect to this intention. {{ Respectfully yours,_"lV . SOITTITARD, "For the Secretary of the Navy." Nolan seems to have been passed from vessel to vessel, and to have remained a pris oner for over sixty years, and was made the subject of innumerable traditions and palpa- Iple myths.. "He was strictly guarded, and the name of the United. States never mentioned to him. It is generally supposed, however,that this myth was originated during the recent war by some highly imaginative individual who desired to institute comparisons and similes between Nolan and the rebel leaders. Of course, Nolan repented of his folly, and died deeply regretting the incautious words that condemned him to a life of imprison ment, - which was probably more painful,as it prevented him from interfering in the politics of the country. NAPOLEON /I The mass of mankind, embracing many of the well-read, have never heard of Napoleon 11., and the reason why the present Emperor assumes the title of Napoleon III:, is to them' a perfect enigma. Napoleon Francis Joseph Charles Bonaparte, or Napoleon 11., was the son of Napoleon 1., the fruit of a marriage between that sovereign and Maria Louisa of Austria, and was from his birth styled the King of Rome. When his father, the first Emperor, was compelled to abdicate in 1814, the King of Rome went with his mother to Vienna, and was there educated by his grand father, the Emperor of Austria. , His title was na; of the Duke of Reichstadt, and. he was most carefully instructed, especially in the military art. But he appears to have in 7 heiited but little of the ability of his father; his constitution was weak, and early symptoms of consumption unfitted him for the laborious duties of a military . career. On Napoleon's return from Elba, in 1815, an attempt was . made to remove the young Duke to--Paris, but frustrated by the Austrian authorities. He was made a Lieutenant-Colonel in 1831, and commanded a battalion of Hungarian infantry in the garrison of Vienna; but his death, when he was but twenty-one years old, cut him off before he had reached an age in which he might have displayed any abili ties he possessed. During his life-time he never assumed the title of Napoleon 11., in asmuch as Atte abdication of his father in his favor was never admitted by the allies; nor was it ever claimed by the French Govern ment. But in 1852 when the resumption of empire. by Louis Napoleon rendered some title necessary, he was considered Napoleon 11., and the new Emperor took that of Napo leon 111. The latter title, however, having been recognized by the several governments of Europe, the recognition of the former is implied. • 1.0136 XVII., who was supposed to have been poisoned by some person in the Temple at Paris during the French Revolution, and by others to have escaped, was the son of the unfortunate Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette. It was only re cently that a . report was ciroulating.in the papers that a gentleman of advanced age had died in March,-in St. Petersburg, who was believed to have been Louis XVII. He was the third child of Louis - and Marie Antoinette. His first title was Duke of Normandy, and he became Dauphin by the death of his elder brother, 'Louis Joseph, June 4, 1789. He was carefully educated under the supervise on of his father, and at the outbreak of the revolution was a beautifur, lively and intelligent child, but remarkably impatient and unmanageable. He was imprisoned in the Temple with the rest of the royal family-August 13, 1792. After the execution of his father, January 21, 1793, he was proclaimed King by his uncle, the Count of Provence, who was then a refugee in Germany, and was recog nized as King by most of the Courts of Europe, by the Vendean chiefs and by the insurgents in the south. of France. These demonstrations, together with several unsuc cessful attempts by the royalists to rescue him from prison, irritated and alarmed the revolutionary government, and on July 3, at 10 o'clock at night, the boy was forcibly taken from his mother's arms, and, frantic wide terror, was carried screaming to•another part of the prison. Here he was consigned to the care of a shoemaker named Antoine Simon, a violent Jacobin of rough manners and brutal temper, who treated him with systematic cruelty, apparently with the .design of getting rid of him without commit ting palpable murder. The young prince was shut up in a cell and left there alone day and night, without employment or amusement, or any opportunity for exercise or,to breathe the fresh air. A vessel of water, seldom replenished, was given him for rink ; And some coarse • food was occasionally thrown in at the half-opened door. He was allowed no means of washing himself,his bed was notmade for six months, and for more then a year his clothes, his shirt, and his shoes were not changed. By pro longed inactivity his limbs became rigid, and his mind, through terror,grlef and monotony, became imbecile and deranged. Something that he had said in reply to questions having been perverted to the injury of his mother, he resolved henceforth tobe silent, and for a long . period neither threats, Mir blows, nor coaxings could induce him to speak When not sleeping he sat quietly in his chair,, with out uttering a sound or shedding a tear, or shrinking from the rats, with whioh his, dungeon swarmed. Louis, after the reign of terror,. was placed under the • ' care of more merciful keepers,. but he 1 was still kept in solitary confinement,'and not, allowed to see his sister, who *ad imprisoned in an adjoining apartment: At' lenOth; in, 'Nay, 179 G, a ; physican was allowed to ' See him, whO pronounced lain dying of iscioftila.; Be died at .2 P. M., in the arms of Lasne; one of his keepers , , and the next day, June 9, his body was identified and Certified to by four members of the Committee of Public Safety, and by more tban twenty - of - of— the Temple. His remains were buried in the cemetery of Si. .INfargiierite; and - even trace . . of the grave carefully obliterated. Several pretenders, claiming to be Louis XVII., have appeared; among them,in France, Hervagart, a tailor's son, who died in 1812, in prison, and Bruneau, a shoemaker, who was sent to prison in 1802; and in the. United States, the Rev. Eleazer Williams,' a half-breed Indian, who died in 859. • MAN IN TIM IRON MASK.. Within the walls of the Bastile, during the reign of Louis XIV., was enacted the mex, plicable mystery, which has continued a m vo. 7; tory to this day, of the Man in the Iron Mask When first heard of, he,was confined in the Marguerite Islands, in the Mediterranean, whence he was removed by De Saint Mars, •who was his private governor, and answera ble; it is supposed, for his safety with his own life, to the Bastile, where he died on Novem ber 19th, 1703, and was burie I on the 20th, in the cemetery of St. Paul, under the name of Machiati. No man, except the governor, so far as is known, ever saw his face, or heard his voice; two persons, to whom he had conveyed written words, in one case marked upon a linen shirt, in the other en graved on a silver plate, died, without appa rent cause, immediately afterwards. During his conveyance from the Marguerite Isles, 1)e Saint Mars dined at the same table, and slept in the same chamber with him, with pistols ever at hand ready to destroy him, in the case of an attempt on his part to reveal himself. In the Bastile was waited on, •at table and at his toilet, by the governor, who took charge of and destroyed all the linen he once used. He was never seen but with a mask of black velvet, fastened behind his head with steel springs; and when he went to hear mass, the invalids, who were in charge of him, with muskets and lighted matches, were instructed to fire on him instantly in case of his speak ing or showing his face. A hundred conjec tures have been risked as to who this myste rimis person was 'who was treated with such respect, yet withi such jealous rigor—whose life was held sacred against taking off, yet made one scene of incessant misery. The .absence of any person of sufficient note from the stage of history to account for such pre cautions alone, battles all inquiry. The gene ral idea seems to be that he was an elder bro ther of Louis XIV., the fruit of an adulterous intrigue between Anne of Austria and the Duke of - Buckingham, or some other un known lover, who, being born in wedlock, could not have been dispossessed of his claim to the throne had his existence been admitted. TIIE CIIII.DREN IN TILE TOWER The amour of Edward the - Fourth sug gested to his brother, the Duke of Gloster, afterward the notorious Richard 111., a means of attaining the throne. He even did not hesitate to malign his own mother, affirming that the resemblance of Edward IV. and of the Duke of Clarence to notorious gallants was a sufficient proof of their spurious birth, and that the Duke of Gloster alone, of all his sons, appeared by his features and coun tenance to be the true offspring of the Duke of York. Shakespeare and history have made the murder of the babes in the Tower a familiar story, as well as that of the numer ous pretenders, among whOrn were Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck, so it is unne cessary to give a recapitulation here. The account of Sir Thomas More, which was collected from the confes sion of the murders-irt-the__..next follows: That Richard had in vain tampered with the governor ,of the Tower, Bracken bury, to put them to death, but found a ready instrument for the execution of his purpose in Tyrrel, his master of ,horse; that Tyrrel was despatched with a commission to receive the keys of the Tower for one night, and that during that night he watched without while one of his grooms, accompanied by a notori ous assassin, entered the sleeping room of the princes, stifiled them - both with feather beds and pillows, and buried their bodies at the foot of the staircase. The testimony of More is almost contemporaneous with the event itself, and is confirmed by the honors . which , were certainly conferred upon the alleged Murderers: In - the reign "of Charles 11., when alterations were made in the Tower, there was found at the foot of an old stairway (at present shown to visitors) a heap of decayed bones, which' proved to be those of two boys. The indica tions were deemed sufficient that they be longed to the unfortunate Edward V. and his brether,. and they were removed by royal command to Westminster Abbey, where an inscription, beginning, "Os6ct dim et. multtmz retsosita," was placed upon the monutnent. Sb well concealed a matter as the death of the royal princes leaves room for paradoxes and historic doubts; but it is 'certain that, though the name of Edward V. stands on the list of English sovereigns, he had hardly the shadow of a reign; that under the dark protectorship of his uncle he went speedily from the palace to the prison, within whose precincts he found secret death and burial. Notwithstanding these corrobora tions, there are many among the English no bility who still believe the princes escaped, and one house in Yorkshire claim to be the direct descendants of Edward V. Literary Careers. [From the London Saturday Review.) There can be no• question that literature, which once upon a time was little more than an occupation, which till lately was at most a profession, is at last becoming almost a trade. Authorship of every sort has an ac knowledged market value. A young man of ordinary abilities at the outset of life can learn without much difficulty what it' will cost him, in the shape of time, expense, and trouble, to fit himself for entering on .a lite rary course, and what are the ordinary emv. luments which decent industry and ability may hope to command. The imagination of the experienced is apt to under-estimate the efforts required for success in this as in every otiv.tr field of human labor. But the times" have at any rate gone by when the candi date for admission into the literary fraternity had to calculate on a long novitiate of obscure toil, and perhaps of absolute want and privation. Few people of average talent starve now-a-days in a garret until they manage after some years of patient toadyism to emerge into the light under the patronage of some noble or wealthy Mtecenas. The very name of Grub street is becoming archiac. It is only rescued from oblivion when some luxurious essayist like Mr. Mat thew Arnold, in a moment of exaggerated irony, pretends to date his letters from that apocryphal abode of learned poverty. The young nurslings of the Muses in this genera tion are driven to no such sad extremities in early life. They do not write by the faint light of penny dips, or dine for a shilling at a city tavern under terror lest they should be caught on the way by their, natural enemy the bailiff. The million has taken,_ in these • unromantic times, to , literature; and, as a natural consequence of the change, those who purvey literary - food for the million are paid like any other honest caterers for the puclie taste. As the severity of the early pro • bation has diminished, the prizes set before • the aihbitious novice have increased. Mode sate capaCity in Writingleads, if not to dis-: • tbetion, at any rate to a eubetantial and tolor able, income. Hundreds of newspapers and periodicals flourish in town and, country `which are perfectly able to pay for the pro ductiona—whish—thev—publish rua.n_Lo letterS, even of an inferior sort, may easily live twice as well as a poor --country parson, and enjoy a fair amount •of social pleasures among his friends. For genius of a higher sort the emoluments are as considerable as are to be found in any walk of life. A first-rate novelist makes as much money as a bishop or a judge, and is as much courted by general society. A political philosopher who writes well enough to at tract general notice, may, if' it pleases him, hope to attain a seat in Parliament, arid, to gain the ear of the house of the nation when . i ssgets•theres If a really able writer fancies it thtfredlifedin plaeosofu prominent position On the public stage, he may. pass his time in the secure and golden ease of the gods of Epicurus. Whenever he takes up- his pen, magazines are delighted to purchase his re marks at any fabulous price he may demand. His autograph and photograph are posses sions which all the young ladies in Englana long for in their dreams. Universities confer their best honors on him. American tour ists haunt country inns to have a peep at him. Celebrity fat above that which falls to the portion of millionaires, statesmen and arch bishops, is his portion; and if philosophers care to be feted and crowned by their con temporaries in these happy, enlightened days, philosophers can have as much feting and crowning as philosophers should care for. The bar, the church, the army, and the world of commerce have no more splendid .rewards to give their successful members. And when we think that, in addition to all this, the literary lion has the privilege of - possessing himself the sweet sense of intellectual supe riority over his fellow-creatures, it is not to be Wondered at that literature should appear to young people a sort of Eldorado, or fairy land, the very rivers in which run with gold. It is by no means clear that literature itself profits as much as do its votaries by the golden showers that rain daily upon it. Art ists tell us very often that a similar shower has fallen on art, and that the soil IA not at all fer tilized .by it. Pictures, as everybody knows, are not any longer a taste which- the culti vated indulge. They are a means of spending money for the wealthy; and Manchester amasses painting and statuary in the same spirit as Eastern monarchs amass jewels, and an antiquary books. The opulent cotton spinner who has spent his hours of business in underbidding his rivals in the counting house, spends his hours of leisure in overbidding them in the picture' mar ket and the studios. The gentleman whose income is returned at sixty thousand triumphs over the humbler possessor of a fifty thou sand income by buying a few more objects of modern art as a measure of his . superior Wealth. There is no Grub street now for painters, any more than there is a Grub street for authors. Yet the result is one whichjitrue lovers of art pretend to deplore. The un s limited demand deteriorates; they insist, from the quality of the supply.- It is so easy and lucrative to paint quick and fast, that masters cease to care so much as is their duty for I producing masterpieces. Instead of laboring for posterity, they labot for their rich con temporaries, whose passion for possessing has outrun their powers of discrimination. It is not at all unnatural that 'this should be the case in literature if it is the case in art. The fruits to •be plucked by the literary pilgrim by the wayside are so tempt ing and so plentiftil that , it requires much self-command to abstain from paus ing to secure-them; and the. spectacle is rare of men who reject all such temptations, and firmly shut themselves up in the solitude Of their library to' compose some ten years' work of industry and of research. The pale student is growing out s of date as fast as that exceptional phenomenon the hungry student. Nobody is starved, but, on the other hand, nobody does anything very sublime. If Gib bon were to live his - life over again, under these conditions, he would find it harder than be did to banish himself from England and to deVote himself entirely to the composition of a consummate history. There were brave men before Agamemnon, and there have been many historical geniuses perhaps since Gib bon. But they have been squandering their energies on the many smaller employments Which literary persons find so lucra s tive—contributing ephemeral criticism to, 'reviews and magazines, writ ing' chapters and fragments instead of writing complete books—and building up nothing which will ever serve as a solid me morial of their fame. The habit of anony mous journalism—the advantages of which, in spite of'of Mr. Congreve, may be. said to be patent—has more than one drawback, and perhaps the chief drawback of all is that it 'Oilers less incentives than could be wished to jnen who might desire•to bury themselves in some one study with the hope of linking their names hereafter to what they have done. This continuity of their labor is often broken, and possibly their personal ambi tion remains to the last unsatisfied. When one thinks how important it is to the public that journalism should be in the hands of educated and able men, one cannot but see that it is in some respects fortunate that liter ary genius devotes itself to the manufacture of little works as well as great ones. The press is' the true national systeni of education for a country. The vast majority of English men and En g lishwomen owe most of what they have to its agency. The ability and industry which journalism withdraws, from the production of permanent literature it em ploys' therefore, upon useful, educational and social purposes. What the pulpit was in the days of the Reformation, the printing machine is in this century; and those who supply it with material constitute a body of fairly-paid na tional teachers, some of them of course unworthy, but most of them valuable in the extreme. Nor is it quite correct to suppose that permanent or pure literature loses all that journalism or practical literature gains. The intelligent class of writers who write for newspapers would not have the courage, if there were no newspapers, to sit down to au opus magnum, even were their capacity equal to the larger task. The critical temperament differs from the constructive ; and it must be remembered that the emoluments of ephe meral literature arc what attract the crowd of competitors to the • career. The bar, the church and the universities feel the exhaus tion - of the drain, and not merely literature itself. Finally there is this further considers :lien, which ought not to be forgotten, that the increase of literary appreciation among the masses renders the distinction of the few who do attain to real literary celebrity more enviable than ever. 'The damage intlioted by journalism upon literature is, accordingly, by no means of an unmixed kind. Great as are the temptations to pause half way in tile pur suit of eminence, the crown for those who persevere is not less worth attaining. Still, upon the whole, the fact is undeniable that in this age of universal knowledge, great in tellectual books are not composed as fre quently as one might have hoped, would be the case. We must console ourselves with the thought that this loss is counterbalanced by other gain. The want of preparation for a ,literary career which women experience would soon be felt by men as well it' those who declaim pertinaciously against "culture" were to suc ceed in changing the whole current of educa tion: With respect to the modifications that may with advantage be introduced into the curriculum of Greek and Latin teaching, either at our great schools. or at our univer sities. we say nothing. It is the opinion of all sie-iibse ers that - Borne modification should be, jnadc.. But to discourage thorough literary training would; at the present time above all others,. be at tended with disastrous results. To the study of literary style, as such, too much importance may unquestionably be attached. Nor have we any wish to see boys of every capacity stretched upon one Procrustean bed made up of the dryeat portions of the classics. But' that the forma tion of literary tastes ought to remain a con spicuous feature in popular education is ob vious to all who look at the growing literary thirst of the masses of the nation.! Whether we wish, it or not literature will be the chief means of educating and humanizing them. For many years literary careers will be abun dant, for they will be requisite to supply a national demand. The finish 'and the • intel lectual power of literary men cannot, there fore, be otherwise than matter o f national concern, and this is a fact well worthy - of the attention of all the reformers who propose to reform "culture" from off the face of the earth. John G. Whittier. The stranger in Boston who is so fortunate as to have the entree of the charming apart ment which 'Messrs. Ticknor & Fields have fitted up for the accommodation of their literary friends in their store on Tremont street, may have observed, among the half dozen distinguished gentlemen who, at almost any hour of the day, are to be found there, an-erect, spare, venerable-looking man, not far from sixty, with striking features, and thin, iron-gray hair, seated at the long table that runs through the middle of the room, and intently occupied in the examination of some of the many recent books and news papers with which the table is loaded. His modest neck-tie, and plain brown coat, with its stiff, upright collar, proclaim him a Quaker, and a glance at his thoughtful face, and 'ex pansive forehead, show that he is no othor than the most distinguished of living Quakers —John G. Whittier. 31r. Whittier has been before the public as an author for, fully forty years, but,though he is one of the most correct and graceful of prose writers, it is principally by his poetry that he has won distinction. Every one is familiar with his verses. but scarcely any but but well-read persons are acquainted with his prose, or are even aware that he has written some of the most charming sketches and stories that have emanated from the prose writers the past half-century. With a volume of these sketcheS, entitled Legends of New England, he made, at the age of twenty three, his first appearance as au author, and it was this volume that first won him celeb rity. It was founded on the Indian super stitions of Massachusetts, and it displays that intimate knowledge of early New England history which is so observable in Mr. Whit tiers poetry. 'fills book was soon followed by Pitcher, a tale of a witch of Na bant, that may be called a versification nar rative, rather than a poetical creation. During the production of these books, Mr. Whittier was a hard-working editor—first of a paper published at Boston, in the tariff in terest; and afterwards, in 1830, of a Hartford journal that bad been conducted by his friend, the recently deceased poet, Brainard. When Brainard's Remains were published, they were'prepared for the press by Whittier, who prefaced thein with a memoir that was a touching tribute to his friend,and the means of adding to his own already brilliant reputa tion. In the succeeding five years, M. Whittier published several volumes of prose and poetry, among which were Mow Megonc, a spirited narrative of Indian life, gracefully rendered in octosyllabic measure; and The, Bridal of Pazaeook, another Indian story, founded on the traditions of the aborigines, and containing some of the author's finest ballad writing and descriptions of nature. This latter book gave Mr. Whittier eminent rank as a poet, and with the exception of two volumes, Margaret _Smith's Journal, which appeared in I tqa;, and Old Portraits and Modern Sketches, which was published in P , 50, we believe, he has since confined himself almost altogether to verse-writing. Leaving Hartford, after a residence of two or three years, Mr. Whittier returned to Massachusetts, and settled down in the home of his nativity at Haverhill, on the quiet banks of the Merrimac. Here he devoted himself to the cultivation of his farm, vary- ing his employment by representing his na tive town in the. State legislature, and by writing an occasional poem in the interest of Abolition. These poems were gathered into a volume under the title of l'oicf:cs of Fie. and they contain some of the best examples . of Mr. Whittier's song-writing. Mr. Whittier entered curly, and with great zeal,into the Abolition movement, and in 1831; was made Secretary of the American Anti-Slavery Society. While acting in this capacity he was appointed editor of the Pcnnsylvapia FrCeditan,a journal published in the interest of the cause, at Philadelphia. This paper he continued to manage for four' years, when he again removed to Massachu setts, and took up his residence at Ames bury, another little town on the banks of the Merrimac. Here Mr. Whittier has continued to reside for the past twenty-five years, pur suing a: quiet, literary lice, writing chiefly poems, but contributing an occasional prose article to the columns of the Washington National Era, or the New York inde pendent. his subsequent volumes are known where ever the English language is spoken. They are: AS'ongs of Labor, published in 1 SW; The Chapel of the Hermits, in 1853; Songs «nit Ballad's, in 1858, and his more re cent poems, published since the war, and entitled the l ent on the Beach, and Snow- Mr. Whittier is one of the most popular of American poets, though he has written, frequently on topics of mertiy local or tem porury interest to give to all of his verses the higher qualities of poetry. Many of his poems are purely didactic, a kind of versified political leader; but 'others posses* all the glow and genius of genuine poetry. They all are models of energetie expression, and in their language contain, probably, more of the Saxon element than the productions of any other American writer. Next to Long fellow's, Whittier's books have a larger circu lation than those of any of our other poets ; the first edition is uniformly ten thousand copies, and his last two volumes are said to have reached the enormous sale of twenty thou sand each, within a month after their publication. This exceeds the circulation of much of the popular prose and fiction, and is the more remarkable as the writings of most American poets seldom reach a sale of five thousand copies. Whittier is emphatically a self-made wri ter. Ells early life was passed an a farm in severe manual labor, and until he was eigh teen he had no educational advantages, but such as could be derived from a few winters' attendance on the public schools of his na tive district. At the age of twenty, how ever, he had managed to secure two years' billion at a town academy, but then he left school, to work his way in the world, and what he, has since learned he has - eathered from contact , with actual life, Or by solitary study table own library. To this lack of classical culture may doubtless be attributed' the charming simplicity of his style, and the peculiarly American character of all his writ ings. , . In of Mr.-Wbittierls-early-employments was that of shoemaking. It was formerly fife ciattote - Of the -thrifty--New -England farmers to spin and weave their own cloth 'end to manufacture their own shoes and shoe-leather. A small shed was usually at tached to the farm-house, whefein were kept the implemerita of St. Crispin, and here, of rainy days, the farmer's sons handled the awl and pounded the lapstone, while their sisters in-doors spun the wool or wove the yarn, or made into garments the family homespun. It wait thus that Whittier became acquainted with "the gentle craft of leather," and had be not one day, When about seven-. teen, sent a copy of verses to. the 'llttverhill Gazette, he might never haVe got "beyond the last," but to this day.have been doing his best to keep mankind from going barefooted. In that event the world would certainly have lost a fine poet, but it might • have gained a good shoemaker, • Mr. Whittier was, we belietre, never mar ried; but, till within about a year, he has been blessed with ate most devoted o f ? sisters, who has been his constant companion; minister ing to his domestic needs, and sharing his studies. She was a woman of fine literary tastes, and herself wrote some poems that were quite equal to any of her brother's pro ductions. She died about O'Car ago, greatly lamented by Mr. Whittier, who has since lived a very secluded life in his quiet home in Amesbury. He is now, however, spending few months at the Isle of Shoals, for the benefit of his health.—.Y. Y. Gazette. Some or Church, Om Artiest. A correspondent of the New York Ob ecnocr gossips in this wise of residences near Hudson, New York: This beautiful neighborhood has attracted the attention of men of taste, and quite a number are locating here and there along • the river. Four miles south of lludson the late Dr. Bethune bad selected a site for, a residence almost unsurpassed In the points of view. Omni], the celebrated artist, a. particular friend of the Doctor's, find agreed to place his residence in close proximity. The Doctor went unexpectedly to a More beautiful home; Mr. C. bought and annexed his grounds. Ile is now employed in laying out roads, planting trees, and in various. ways rendering the place attractive. His cottage, of the old Gothic style, is nestled in a vale, where the stretch of intenor landscape re minds one of Devonshire, England. But this residence is only temporary. He pro poses to build on the bill overlooking the river, and taking in the sunset view on the river and the grand outline of the Catskills. On this elevation now stands his studio, to which he introduced us. There are several pieta es in progress, and a charcoal sketch of his last Niagara, which obtained a medal at the great Exposition. Mr. C. is simple in manuers, but enthusiastic in spirit. Ile is a man in whom you feel an immediate interest; and, where there are affinities of taste, no man can be more agreeable. He is surrounded, one would think, by everything calculated to make the current of life 'low smoothly—a wife of gentle spirit and sweet manners, a beautiful child, _perfect, country quiet and ample means. His cup,, however, has not been unmixed. Two lovely children have been claimmi by the Great Giver, and the portrait of one of them; if it tells the truth, reveals a loss which:no subsequent prosperity can entirely repair. 'here are quite a num ber of artistic gems in the cottage home; and one especially excited our admiration.. It .was a.present from Palmer, the sculptor, and represented a sleeping youth in pure white marble. The idea of absolute repose is very striking. _ ._ • PIM XIS. I have mentioned puns. They are; I be lieve, what I have denoininated them—the wit of words. They are exactly the same to , words that wit is. to ideas, and consistin the sudden discovery of relations in language. A. pun to be perfection in its kind should con tain two distinct meanings; the one, common and obvious; the other, more remote; and in the notice which the mind takes of.the rela tion between these two sets of words, and in. the surprise which that relation excites, the pleasure of a pun consists. Miss Ham ilton, in her book on Education, mentions the instance of a boy f,4::) very neglectful that he never could be brought to read the word patriarch; but whenever he met with it, he pronounced it partridge:. A friend of the writer obseived to her that it could hardly be considered a mere piece of negligence, for it appeared to him that the `boy, in calling them partridges, was making game or the patriarchs.. Now, here arc two distinct meanings contained in the, same phrase; for, to make game of the patriarchs is to laugh at them; or to make game of them, is, by a very extravagant and laughable sort of ignorance of words, to rank them among pheasants, partridges and' other such deli cacies, which the law takes under its protec tion, and calls game; and the whole ! pleasure derived from - this pun con sists in the sudden discovery that two such different 'meanings are refera ble to one form of expression. I have very little to say about puns; they are in very bad repute, and so they ought to be. The wit of language is-so-miserably interior to the wit of ideas, that it is very deservedly driven out of__ good company. Sometimes, indeed, a pun makes 'its appearance, which seems, for a, mo ment, to redeem its species; but we must not be deceived by them; it is a radically - bad race of wit. By unremitting persecution it has been at last got under, and driven into cloisters—whence it.- must never again he suffered to emerge into the light of the world.—Sidney Smith. Coal Statements.
