fflorrlt’i fc&ribly Paradise'
Our age, really a rich one In good poetry,
■will be thanked, many a long year hcncc>
for haying given birth to the author of
“Jason” and “The Earthly Paradise.” These
poems have but lately been written, and the
criticism upon them as.yet is crude; but they
are dated,' wo are sure, for a far futurity.
They will be known and praised when much
of the versification now admired—much of
■ the ingenious Tennysoniau word-joinery
which pleased the last decade, and couch, of
the violent, ejaculatory, Pythic rhapsody
Which is projected among us now,—shall be
* forgotten. The fact is, Mr. Morriß revives
an art which we all were thinking was'.lost,
but which seems to be eternal, audio survive
in favored places amid all the stress and pres
sure! of a self-conscious age—the art of
' posses Bing his soul in fancy, and winningly
and 1 obliviously telling a ■ story.
Chaucer had it and Homer had it,
the Greek tragic poets had it, Arthur
Hugh Clough is thought to have bad a touch
of the barbaric cunning, and there are certain
favored hours for our own Longfellow, when
ho forgets his Germanized epigrams and orna
ments, auctions a plain tale almost as well as
an improwißatore on the Marinella at Napleß.
Of all late ' Story-tellers of the Anglo-Saxon
xace;h6Weyer, we think our own prOse-poet
Hawtliorno bears the palm. He alone, of
confeinpofy romancers, could'sweep his plot
along, upon the tide of a pure pellucid prose,
a prose so transparent and finished that, you
never remember a word of it, a prpse. color T
less like the air and strong like the wind,
And the limpidity which weasciribed to Haw
thorne is the first-charm of Mri Morris. Ho w
refreshing, after the uneasy posturings of each
■ successive new poet, is the advent of a trou
badour so calm and strong and restful.' How
perfect and persuasive is his idleness—“the
idle singer,” as he calls himself, “of an empty
day.”
♦‘Dreamer of dreams, born ont of my duo time,
Wby should I strive to set the crooked straight ?
Let It suffice me that-my murmuring rhyme
—Beats-wilh light -wing egoinstthe ivory gate,
Telling a tale hot too importunate
To. those who in the sleepy region stay,
Lulled by the singer of an empty day.”
In the short proem which he winningly
calls bis Apology, Mr. Morris bays he can open
a window upon the summer, or build an “isle
of bliss” ont of the sea that tosses the hearts
of men. And then he goes to work “and
does with his enchantments” and .takes
such old tales as the Cupid and Psyche,
or ; the Atalanta, or the Pygmalion,
and infuses a sovffle of life into their marble
grace. We would not be extravagant and
declare that Mr. Morris makes these classic
ktories revive and live again; it is not the
magic of his own “Pygmalion,” with Form
changing to color and life and stepping down
from its pure pedestal into the world of ac
tion; our poet is more self-restrained, more
determinedly artistic; he makes such effects
as are sometimes seen in moonlit gardens,
when among the transits and flushes of the
clouds,and behind the quick glimmerings that
pass with whispers through the trees, the
statuary takes on a movement that, for
statuary, is better than incarnation; you are
not alarmed at the fancy that it liveß, but you
ask yourself delightedly if it has not moved,
suchis the nature of the spell we find among
these old bare legends, once more “clothed
on with chastity.”
There is no metrical poetry in the book
more superfine than the quaint argument in
Which he tells, in Chaucerian prose, the plan
of his narrative. “Certain gentlemen and
mariners of Norway,” he begins, “having
considered all that they had heard of the
Earthly Paradise, set sail to find it, and after
many troubles and the lapse of many years
came old men to some Western land, of
which they had never before heard; there
they died, when they had dwelt there certain
years, much honoured of the strange people.”
The whole lore of the book has a tone of
touching, unworldly, almost senile credulity,
as of old men who rehearse the romances
they believed in all-believing youth, and now
find tbeir best wisdom in believing stilL The
first Greek story is introduced with one ofthe
Singer’s musical Excuses, in which he call 9
Jiis fancies roseleaves, that once were real
enough in his path:
“Within the pages of this book I laid
Their tender petals, there In pence to fade.
Dry are they now, and void of all their scent
And lovely colour, yet what once was meant
By these dull stains, Borne men may yet descry
As dead upon the quivering leaves they lie.
“Behold them here, and mock me if you will,
But yet believe no scorn of men can kill
My love of that fair land wherefrom they came.’’
, The whole book breathes the air of unob
trusive yet assured trust in its own fictions,
the poet’s air of modeßt faith in Mb .willing
self-delusions. The Style of his relations is
the self-forgetfulness of absolute belief. Such
a style, very naturally, has no ornaments,
there are no “striking” lines and “jewels five
words long.” Why BhofiM a poet,‘strike?;
we seem to hear the singer say; biows are for
the battle of the day, and when the minstrel
comes in at even-fall among the knights, M 3
prerogative is music and persuasion. There
are, therefore, few verses of the kind ordinarily
called quotable. But, give him his time, aud
our minstrel will draw such a picture with
the prolonged humming of Ms lyre; that you
seem to more than see the form of what
he delineates, you feel ifs- essential
souL Here, for instance, is a concep
tion of Apollo, disguised and in servitude; to
King Admetus.
“Or sometimes mid the hottest of the mirth ,
Within the King’s hall, wonld he seem to wake
As from a dream, and his stringed tortoise take
And Btrike the chords unbidden, till the hall
Filled with the glorious sound from wall to

-And sunken down the faces weeping lay
That erewhile laughed the loudest; only he .
Stood oprigpt, looking forw&id steadily
With eparkuDg eyes as one who cannot weeD.
-Until the storm oi music sank to sleep.” *
In landscape-painting the artist is at least
. equally accomplished. We never met a de
lineation more perfectly Greek,—no, not e ven
the picture of Corinth in Keats’s “Lamia
than this of the lonely temple to Venus' on
the Argolis coast, with ita “steps the fish
' Bwim over twice a day,’’and its “white Queen’’
anfong rifo pillars in the moon.

We will not invidiously remark that Mr.
Morris has herd exaggerated the swelling of
the Mediterranean tieje, and drawn his image
rather from some coast chapel in familiar
England. As a picture of sea-side solitude
we know of nothing more delicately noble,
except the pure reality of Pdestum.
Six stories of the, purest Greek conception,
for the six months bf springand summer, are
alternated with six other tales less classical.
Each month, along with its pure Attic bas
relief presents; a half-involved, tangled, mazy
legend; fiUcd Wlth lhe spirit we call Gothic,
like some fhntasy saved from a falling cathe
dral wall* At a later day, when ifr, Morris’s
fame shall be a thing ijssured; critics may
.wiite essays to declare.whether, he succeeds
best in the Greek or in the mediaeval imagery.
It is enough for the , present to say that the
latter class of legends, Whether Byzantine,
Christian-Homan, or of, the dark ages,, are
told with a zest, a Gothic iove of curiousuess,
which is as conspicuously modern in feeling
as the more Oyidian tales are Classical.
Any of : them will images, now Dan
tean, now Chaucerian, now-in the vein
of Boccaccio,'-which give the reader to doubt
whether fiispoet hasever construed a line of
a dead language in his life. 1 We think, fo r
example, the climax in *‘The Lady of the
Land” is of the purest Italian conceit, not ex
celled in its style by anything in Ariosto. It
is the proud, white Greek ideal overgrown
by the climbers and parasites of Scandinavian
legendry: ■'ltalian “rovers,” exploring among
the Cyclades, discover a Greek building—the
legend knows nothing abouktfre history of ar
chitecture, and with exquisite feudal igno
rance calls it a “castle.” There, among the
broken images of the Olympian gods, they
find residing a modern enchanted lady of the
fairy-teles. She engages the hero to visit her
again, when he shall find her horribly trans
formed, and iB to deliver her from the en
chantment And what he sees is this:
“A fearful thing stood at the cloister’s end,
And eyed him for awhile, then gun to wend
Adown the cloisters, and began again
That rattling,, and the moan like flends in pain.
“And as it came on towards him. with its teeth
The body of a slain goat did It t nr,
The blood whereof In Its hot jaws did seethe,
And on Its tongue he saw the smoking hair;
Then his heart sank. * * * *
“Yet he abode her still, although his blood
Curdled within him: the thing dropped the goat,
And creeping on, came close to where he stood,
And raised Its head to him, and wrinkled throat,
Then he cried ont, and wildly at her smote,
Shutting his eyes, and turned and from the place
Bon swiftly with a white and ghastly face.”
How mediaeval is that touch— the trans
formed lady passive under the control of brute
instinct! A Greek spirit—we spoke a mo
ment ago of the “Lamia’’ —would make the
transformation external only, and even the
Arabian tales always retain the habitudes of
the hero under the metempsychosis; it is for
the teasing fancifulness of Gothic story to add
unheard-of horrors, and give its heroine the
appetites as well the contours of the monster.
Our poet —though the unique occurrence of
such an image makes us believe it unpleasant
to him—follows the vein to its proper end,
and finishes everything with that vivid, sick
ening detail of the hair warm upon the
tongue. After that, his “Italian” can do
naught but fly.
A book so serious, so delibera'e,„isnor for
hasty criticism. We are conscious that, in
characterizing Mr. Morris as perfect, we ma>
be thought rather to oppress him with cold
and commonjjiaise. It is proper to say this,
howeverGfand to range him, with Tennyson
and Arhokl, among, the lovers of perfection,
in distinction from Browning, 8 .vinburne.
Whitman, and the ejaculatory poets.. But it
is not the perfection that is arrested, the rigor
of the letter that kills. Our poet, with all
his serenity, is full of life and development,
and gives us the earnest of other forms ol'
finish yet to come.
THE AUGUST MAGAZINES.
The Overland Monthly. A new hunter,
full of western breeze and vigor, marches into
our sanctum with the step of the pioneer, and
deposits Ms loaded game-bag on our table.
The stranger calls himself The Overland ,
and if he can keep up the fine fresh pace at
which he starts be bids fair to distance some
of our drowsy eastern purveyors, who begin
to sleep upon their successes and yield to the
stagnation of cliques and tradition. The
Overland carries for its crest a tellmg little
vignette of a railway, track; upon the iron
road stands a-hear, his legs set upon the
trams in their grizzly pegtop) pantaloons,
Mb fur mantling and shaking all over,
his back with deep-seated ursine
aversion, and his thoughts, like Miss Kiiman
segg’s, “in a train that doesn’t run upon
sleepers!” What is it that so radically dis
turbs the notions of the shaggy old Philis
tine ?. Wo suppose it is the advance,the new
light, the car of progress,the Overland. With
this little Mnt .of what is to come upon bear
ish .critics, we suppose, the new (periodical
opens out its budget,- wMch is full of fresh
ness and interest. The articles are not signed,
and we are in the dark even as to the inglori
ous Miltons who contribute the poetry of the
number. It is a grand singing-match of min
strels, who present themselves and
only justify their presence by the body of i
their baritones and the profundity of their
bass. Each is known for what he can do,not
for what he has done.
- The first noticeable- article - contains some
capital pictures of life in Mexico during - the -
late empire. Of the Btyle kept : lip by the
Archduke the-followmg extracts may give an/
idea: . ‘
“—An open barouche of English manu
facture, modestly ornamented, and drawn by
four large, dun-colored muleß with silver
mounted harness: These were a part of • the
Imperial stables, and were presented by a
wealthy Mexican at or near Guanajuato.
They were said to be the finest mules in
Mexico, and of a value far exceeding that of
the- most approved blood horses, of which
■?;. \ r ,
Maximilian bad several, in chirge of English
grooms: for it was the ptiHcy of the Emperor
to conform as much as -possible • to- the cus
toms of his adopted land. 1 • >'
“One of the animals was ridden by a Mexi
can driver, and four Mexican outriders sur
rounded tho equipage; two riding on either
side and keeping dose to the barouche, and
two about five yards in advance. All these
were armed with carbines, slung across their
backs, and a profusion Ofsmaller weapons at
their belts. Bold, trusty fellows they
looked, with their picturesque ; national cos
tume and substantial 'trappings, evidently
meant rather for service than for show. In a
country where all are-riders, these men had,
been noted forjtheir daring and skillful horse-;
maDship. They sat their steeds with admir
able grace and steadiness, and it was ob
served that they never for a moment turned
aside, but looked straight to the front as the
little cortege passed rapidly along. To these
four brigand- 1 looking riders, whose swarthy*
faces seemed all the more sinister under the
broad brimmed sombrelro which shaded their
gleaming eyes,,yrere entrusted during several
nours each day the lives of the Emperor and
Empress. And they, proved to. the last wor
thy of the charge confided to them, while the
people were pleaked-with, this exhibition of
confidence in their own countrymen.
“The Emperor as he passed swiftly by had
the, appearance'of a tall; handsome, gentle
manly person, with a , particularly frank and
cheerful expression,'kdeep blue -eye, light
'curling hair, and looking—owing, perhaps,
to the grave responsibilities he had assumed
—rather older than thirty-three, which at
this time Was hik age. He, dressed in the ex
treme of fashion.: His apparel, : which was;
generally that of a civilian, was always hand
some, andifin uniform, showy; and there
was about him an air of elegance and
scholarly culture, *well becoming his flue per
son; for Maximilian enjoyed the reputation
of being one •bf the, most/ accomplished
princes of Europe,, speaking six/langaages
perfectly, and being withal an author Doth in
poetry and prose of acknowledged merit
Subsequent personal interviews both with
the Emperor and Empress, confirmed, iu the
mind of the writer, all he had heard of their
nobleness of disposition, and genuine kind
ness of heart.
“In these public drives Carlotta always sat
on the right, and "Continually bowed and
smiled from beneath her parasol in acknowl
edgment of the acclamations. But
'for these especial marks oT respect and cour- '
tesy from the throngs, the Imperial parly
might easily have been, mistaken for tho
family of some wealthy or distinguished cili
zen: Maximilian with his hat (always a
white one) rather jauntily placed, and Car
lotia having (he dress and appearance of a
young lady of the English aristocracy, which
the rather full face, fresh color and English
style, seemed to favor.”
The History of art-beginnings on the PaciSc
is full of interesting details of immigratu
painters who laid the foundations of an art
school at the Golden Gate.
“One of the earliest California artists o!
whom we have any knowledge, after Jewett
and Nahl, was Thomas 8. Officer, a native oi
Pennsylvania, a pupil and friend of the vene
rable Sully, a member of the Philadelphia
Academy, an associate of tbe Peaks, an ex
cellent miniature painter, and a man of much
intelligence and enthusiasm in art. He came
here in 1841), resisted the gold mining rage,
followed his profession with tolerable pecuni
ary success until 1859, and then died in a
public hospital, a melancholy victim to in
temperate habits.
“8. 8. Osgood,of New York, husband of the
poetess by that name, and a portrait painter
of some repute formerly in that city, visited
San Francisco in f 852, remaining here about
six mouths. He; painted. the portraibof Gil
bert, tbe editor of the Alta California
newspaper, who was killed in a duel with
Gen. Denver. This picture now hangs in
our City Hall. He also painted a portrait of
Gen. Butter, which is said to be in the pos
session of Alice Carey.”
The writer promises more particulars of the
history ofweßtern art since 1862. “Portland
on-Willamet” is the story of the rise of an
American town, so interesting that we hope
that it will be followed by other narratives of
extraordinary civic growth in the great West.
From an informing account of “Hawaiian
civilization," we extract the following :
“The islands are believed to contain 500,-
000 acres of arable and pasture land. Of thi3
100,000 acres are adapted to the sugar cane,
but not above 20,000'are so cultivated, pro
ducing an average of 4,000 pounds per acre.
Those islands sent to California during the
last fiscal year, 14,219,414 pounds, and other
countries the balance of ,40,000,000 pounds.
Merchants, in the Eastern States imported
810,000,000 pounds from other countries.
“The advent hence to the Hawaiian Islands
of capita!, commercial enterprise and addi
tional labor, sufficient to develope tbeir re
sources, it is believed would be justified by
the operation of the treaty. If this were prac
ticable the Islands might supply to us nearly
one-half of the entire consumption of sugar
in the United Btatcsj And much might be
said of the other productions of that country
molasses, paddy, rice, coffee, fungus, pulu,
wool, cotton, bides and tallow, and the
various tropical fruits.
“The mercantile activity at the islands hat
always been among the foreigners, and iw
been dependent almost wholly upon the ac :
tivity and prosperity ofthe whalers who ’ re
sort there for supplies and refreshment/ That,
interest has /declined much oflatc years,, and
a feeling is now' prevalent there that some
effort must be made or their commerce- will ■
entirely .fail. The treaty, therefore, has the
support of that class of the community: The
king and government hope for its ratification
also as of benefit to their country. The king
himself is not personally friendly to the'
United States, from,his chagrin at the treaty i
ment he received; when traveling ~io •
this country ten years ago, and where the all -
but “black prince” learned by experience ;
that “negroes were'not allowed to sit at the
table ahotef’i while in England and on
the continent he was received as one included
within ;tbat divinity, which “doth hedge u
king.’? Most-of; his ministers and advisers/
also, being 'Englishmen, Frenchmen and
apostate Americans, apart from their certain i
loss of places of; emolument in ease'of an
nexation, favor the treaty in opposition to
real American interests, knowing, that ho 1
idea of annexation to the republic could/out
live the .ordeal of prosperity which they think -
would obtain under the treaty. With all the:
commercial advantages of intercourse which
exist between ; the States, why should anyone:
there tlifok of annexation?"
We have-not. space for further extracts.
Our clippings exhibit the tone and correct
scholarship of the publication. We hope/the
publishers will find it to their interestJ;o keep.
up the same proportion of informing and

The rightful heir of Theodore bears a name

This habit of giving meanings to proper
names is quite a foreign one, and I regret
that it is not used in Europe. You might
for instance transform the na/me of Pinard

Londok, Jnly 27.—Farther advices from Japan; to

The civil war continued to rage with much violence.
The troops of tho Mikado were in possession ofall
the ports opened to foreigners by treaty. The brother
of Uosl Baehl,the ex-Tyooon, was at the head of the
xevolt against the spiritual Emperor, and had a large
army under his command, with which he was gmA
nally advancing on Yeddo, In which city the party of
tho Tycoon is very strong. There had been somo
fighting between the hostile forces In the vicinity of
Yeddo, but no decisive successes are reported on
either side. It was thought that tho war between the
two parties,whose respective strength and resources
appeared to bo so evenly balanced,wonld result In adl

CoDievaxE, July 27. —The following important cor

St. Loots, July 18,1853.
Jlajor-Oeneral Hancock;
1 deem it proper to direct your attention to state
ments made by the Bodlcal press to tbe effect that you
ere ftreatly dissatisfied with tbe resnits of tbe National
Democratic Convention. The object of the state
ments is to create an impression that yon do not ac
quiesce in the' judgment of the Convention. That
yonr friends do not, and in consequence Seymour and
liialr will not bavo thelr cordial support- -1 wish you
to know, General, that I have taken the liberty to
pronounce these statements false, and to assure those
who have spoken with me on tbe subject, that noth
ing could cause you more regret than to find yonr
Mends, or any of them, Ices earnest in supporting the
ticket which has been nominated than tney would
have been had your own namo stood In tho place of
hlr. Seymour.
(Signed)
Ji. T. <JtOT(T.
M v Deab Bib : I am greatly obliged for your favor
of the 13tb lust. These who suppose that-1 do not
acquiesce In tbe work of the National Democratic
Convention, or that Ido not sincerely desire tbe elec
tion of Its nominees, know very little of my charac
ter. believing, as 1 really do, toat the preservation of
constitutional government depends on the success of
tbe Democratic party In tbe coming election, were I
to hesitate In Its candid support, I feel I
-should not only falsify my own record,
but commit a crime against my country.
I never aspired to tbe Presidency on account of my
self. 1 never sought its doubtful honors and certain
labors and responsibilities merely for the position.
Sf v own wish was to promote, if I could, the good of
tbe country, and to rebuke the spirit of revolution
which bad Invaded every sacred precinct of liberty.
When, therefore, yon pronounced the statements In
question false, you did exactly right. Principles, not
men. Is the motto for the rugged crisis In which we
are' now struggling Had 1 been made tbe Presiden
tial nominee I should have considered It a trib
ute, not to me, but to the principles which
J bad proclaimed and practiced; but shall I
cease to revere those principles because by mu
tual political friends another has been appointed
to put them Into deration? Never; never. These,
air, are my sentiments, whatever Interested parties
may say to the contrary, and I desire that all may
know and understand them. 1 shall ever hold In
grateful remembrance the faithful friends who, hail
ing from eVerv section of the Union, preferred me bv
tbelr votes, and other expressions of confidence, both
In and out of the Convention, and shall do them all
jnstlce to bellovo that they wero governed by patriotic
motives; that they did not propose simply to aggran
dize my personal fortunes, but to serve their country
through me, and that they will not suffer anything
like personal preferences or jealousies to stand be
tween them ana their manifest duty.
I have the honor to be, dear sir,
Very respectfully youre,

[From the London Times of Jnly to.)
Lord Shaftesbury has, we think, little ' rea
son to be dissatisfied with the reception ot his
measure for repressing the innovations of the
Ritualists. Good reasons were alleged last
night for not reading jt a second time; but by
adopting the‘‘previous question” the House
of Lords has expressed its reluctance to reject
BnchameaBure,anaconsequentlyitBdecided
aversion from the practices in question. The
leading Peerq on both sides declared that their
hesitation arose ftom considerations of time
and. circumstances and not frqm any , donbt
that some similar measure of restriction was
desirable. Lord Shaftesbury has, at all
events, • done good service 1 m keeping the
subject before the Legislature, and in urging
on the government, the necesßltybf deal
ing with it He himself did hot desire that
the bill should pass intoi a law this session,but
he wished its principle affirmed. Tins had
been substantially done. The debate will show
to the country, and to the Hitualists also, that
all persons of authority, including the Arch
bishop of Can&rbuiy, are .prepared, if uecea
sary, to repress extretne RitpaUsm by force of
law. The question is merely when and how
this shall be done. That, as it appears to us,
is a very important result, and will answer all
Lord Shaftesbury's purposes. Two reasons
were quite conclusive against a direct sanction
of his bill at the present moment One is that,
according to the Lord Chancellor, there
is every prospect of the Judicial Committee
pronouncing a final decision respecting in
cense and altar lights before the end of the
year. It is obviously desirable, to, takead- :
vantage of this opportunity to know exactly
how the law now Stands. Should it prove
that the existing law condemns these prac
tices, the desired restraint will be obtained
far more satisfactorily than by any fresh le
gislation. Should the contrary be the case
we shall know, at all events, the ground from
which we start. The other consideration is
that no measure of this kind ought to be
adopted except upon the responsibility of the
government. The idea, indeed, of referring
to Convocation for the opinion of the Church,
which the Archbishop of Canterbury in
dulges, will not, we trust, find favor with
any administration. To do so would be to
assume that the voice of the Church is only
to be heard in an assembly of the
clergy—in other words, that the clergy
alone have a right to speak in the name of
the Church. Both in law and in tact the
church is far better represented in Parliament
than in Convocation, and all danger of “over
riding the opinions of the clergy” would be
sufficiently guarded against by dua consulta
tion with the Bishops. Bat, as Lord Russell
argued, a measure which is to impose uni
formity on the Church ought to proceed from
the recommendation of some superior and
impartial authority,and would never be peace
fully accepted if it appeared as the scheme and
aB the victory of a particular Church party.
* . • « * • *
The question will doubtless be resumed
nex t session under better auspices. There is
probably great truth in the observation made
by Lord Shaftesbury and the Bishop of Car
lisle, that the danger chiefly to be appre
hended is not lest the Ritualists should be
hastily dealt with,bat lest indifference to their
innovations should seriously damage the posi
tion of the Church of England with the mass
of the English people. The mingled aversion
and suspicion to which these practices give
rise, both within and without the Church,
among all classes who are attached to the
traditions of Protestantism, is becoming very
serious; and we do not doubt that, if it should
unhappily appear that such doctrines and
practices are to be tolerated among us, not
only would the Church lose all that neutral
support which she now receives from large
bodies of dissenters, but a very large num
ber of those who are now her most
attached members would be completely
shaken in their allegiance. We cannot re
frain from saying that while we hear a great
deal of the importance of not offending the
sensibilities of High Ghurchmen, we hear far
100 little of the susceptibilities of the
opposite and far larger party. We are not
afraid of disunion being introduced by any
mere developments of church ceremonial,but
we are satisfied that in points of doctrine the
Church will not bear unlimited extension.
The question at issue with the Ritualists,
freed from disguises, is whether our clergy
may be Roman Catholics in all but the-name.
The controversy between High Church and
Low Church has long" ago been brought to a
friendly agreement: but the Ritualists on the
one side, and the extreme Rationalists on the
other, must either abandon their claim to hold
office within our Church, or must utterly dis
credit her in the eyes of the nation.
