Lippincott & Co.
The new and brilli ant theatre of La Gaiet6,
on the Place des Arts and Metiers, used to
be thronged night after night, during the
winter before last, with the young sculptors
and painters and medical students of Veda—
their motive being asserted withoutequivoque
in the fact that their mothera and sisters
were hanging on their arms "Why, she is
achevie," we heard a stout matron—the very
ideal of the dame du comptoir,—assert;
"she has a good arm, a good ankle, a fleshy
knee, a firm bust—what more can a man
want?"—for e in this horse-jockeying way,
without dreaming that she offends by her low
standard, will the French bourgeoise 'Mother
speak of a fine woman to her son. The
heroine of that frank eulogy was meantime
fluttering over the stage in an adaptation of
the French Spy, crammed by the playwrights
with every conceivable variety of historical,
geographical and anachronic error, and
named with safe vagueness "The Pirates
of the Savannah;" but the whole gorgeous
mass of , confusion aid falsehood only
existed for the purpose of revolving around
the one glittering figure,that darted down the
boards like a spectrum from a mirror, struck
an attitude, vibrated a rapid finger at the lip
like an animated statue of Silence, and then
was gone ; always soundless, lonely, bright
and evanescent as the lightning on the lake.
Now it was half lost in its cumbrous envelope
of drapery—the ranchero's wide trousers,
burly with spangles and bullion, the sash, the
close gorro de pane confining the short
black hair, and overshadowed by the heavy
sombrero; now,knitted from head to foot into
a gleaming sheath of silk that embraced the
curves of the perfect limbs, the figure gave
freely to the eye all that it had of grace and
animal freedom—and the young artists held
their breath as this living marble, this Grace,
cette adorable Afenken, fulminated across
the Black Rocks lashed to a sable steed, and
executed, in a series of Phidian attitudes,
"La Course dite ppa."
In the entr'actes the people talked, in the
low well-mannered French way, of the his
tory and private life of La Menken. Although
compelled to a silent part on the Paris stage
—for the benighted Americans can talk no
language but Spanish—her conversation, to
those acquainted with Castilian, was some
thing ravishing : she could range from Ger
man philosophy and "Comtisme" to poetry
and the long romance of history. Her taste
in art was finished. Those noctes ambro
sianm, those midnights of Aspasia that set in
after the play was over and the dissipated
black horse was safely stabled and taking
beer with his oats, were commented on as
something unknown since the experience of
lxion. Her salon was crowded with the
poets and peerage of the century. Her
round cheek was not afraid to brush the
monstrous shoulder of Dumas. Were the
spirituel Dickens, the young Ovidian poet
Swinburne, passing eight days in the witty
capital ? they might be looked for at those
adorable feet. It was an Olympian feast,—the
Paris Olympus, you understand, where
pearls of genius occupied the lips of the diva
alternately with the cigarette and the sharp
est champagne from Reims.
Had not the adorable Menken at length
found her niche? After the inconvenient out
spokenness of the whole Anglo-Saxon press
in both hemispheres, was not the apprecia
tion and charity of the Paris public a haven?
Here was no censure, no vulgarity, nothing
but sympathy exalted to worship. In Paris
alone could the liveries of convention be safely
thrown off, and the realm of Aspasia be re
established, on a foundation of poetry,
bouquets, and Greek art in silk stockings.
The moral of that frank paganism did not
show itself till afterwards. The journalists
did not 'know how actively the censure which
had expired from the press was eating its
way through a more inexorable organ of
opinion,and that the self-sense of the Aspasia
herself was filled with all the condemnation
that the public had forgotten. It was' not
until the splendid woman, stricken down as
by a blow, was laid with Jewish rites in the
graveyard of the city that guards the bones of
Rachel, that the dry limestone lips of a com
mon French tomb opened to utter the one
word that could contradict all the seeming of
that life,—"lnfelicia."
On a few leaves formed into a slender book'
the wretched diva wrote that she was unhap
py, and thus died. Perhaps it was the irre
sistible need of sympathy from the sex she
could approach in no other way. Perhaps
there was a touch of vanity, which in a wo
man, and above all such a woman, might
very likely say they shall see that I can re
pent with some eloquence. Whatever the
motive, we have as a legacy this handful of
pages, from which our rudeness is excluded
because they are sad, and our phariseeism
because they are pure. From the wretched
offal-heap of a life outcast from the world of
good men, blooms up this astonishing flower,
aseredinits unworldly odor and its tremu
lous dew. Literary criticism is excluded, for
these lucubrations do not rise into literature ;
it is one of those cases where there is only
the motive to consider, in looking to the au
thor, only the moral, in looking to the public.
Many of these tentatives are in poetry.
The subject is ever but one—
"Myself ! .las for theme so poor,
A theme but rich in fear ;
I stand a wreck on error's shore,
A spectre—not within the door—
A homeless shadow ever more,
_
An eaiie &re."
The titles are always fine and suggestive,
and show the Menken in her best inventions.
There are "The Drifts that Bar my Door;"
"The Ship that Went Down;" "Into the
Depths;" "The Battle of the Stars;" "Sale of
Soule;" "Resurgam;" "Miserimus;" "Hem
loch in the Furrows;" "The Autograph on
the Soul," and "Where the Flocks Shall be
Led." The writer is - Present at the centre of
every one of these delineations. Now, re
calling the famous past of her people, she
imagines herself Judith; she has enslaved, she
has Inade drunk, she has done to death the
rases granny of opinion or of society that
go oppreafilfi her, and she comes back to the
arklamatiorul of her tribe, singing songs
and bearing wealth: "I mix your jeweled
heads and your gleaming eyes and your his
sling tongues in the dust." Now she is dead,
With "au uneoffineil and unburied death,"
a p
" ,f r . aiyer .ge ." rs-gras . _ ping -the-iv-kite-throat-of-many
"fie, I am certainly dud.
Deed In this 'bewail
Dead in this velvet and lace!
Dead In these jewels cf light!
Dead in the music;
Dead in the dance!" -•
In "Myself" we find the splunism, so
strange under the circumstances, and cer
tainly never taught by BM nbnrne,',Loving is
not living!" In "Dying" this superb Lamis
calls herself "the poor wounded snake, bur
dened to the ground—"
"How it lengthens limberly along the dust,
Now palpitates into bright rings only to un
wind, and reach its , bleeding head up the steep ,
wails around ns.
Now, alas ! falling heavily back into itself,
quivering with untatered pain;
Choking with Its own 6100(116 dies in the dust.,
There are constant references to some
glimpses of a higher, more ideal Lave, and,
occasionally, what seem to be references to a
pure infant, laid from off the mother's breast
among the graveyard flowers—the hapless in
stinct of maternity, whose appeal to our ears
nothing can make vain. One hears again,
as the reiterated complaint of poor "Infeli
eia's'" ruined motherhood is read—hears again
the piercing "Arrestati, 0 madre infelice," in
Sor 7eresa's pealing tones, as Ristorre fine
eyes lift upward to the cloister arches,
and that great voice vibrates
to the maternal passion. But these details
are not separated out without difficulty and
mutilation, for the utterance is often as tur
gid, as confused, as hopelessly and helplessly
magniloquent as the poetry of Turner, or as
those long rhapsodies of William Blake that
nobody ever yet read through. Among the
less personal pages we flad an essay on Ge
nius, short-paragraph declamations in the
style of the Hebrew poets and of Ossian, a
national tribute in which this poor soiled
Goddess of Liberty dedicates the purest
bowers other soul to her country. a poem
descriptive of the "Seamstress" of the sculp
tor Muller (artist of the "Minstrel's Curse")
we find this really fine couplet:
"Haggard and white as the ghost of a Spurned One
Sewing white robes for the Chosen One's epee."
But the beauties are interjectional and fit
ful, and are nuggeted in discouraging masses
of prose-gone-mad. The real worth of the
book is its terrific moral, which we think has
come forwa'rd just about in time for this
heated age apparently beginning to tire of its
morality, and to fancy that real advance and
civilization may perhaps lie outside the world
of convention. To such an opinion—to the
very soul of her old friend Swinburne—the
ghost of the brilliant, the intellectual, the
"adorable," the detestable Menken cries
warningly back from the grave that immo_,
rality is misery, that "loving is not living'
and owns "her life was vain, a desert void of
peace."
"The Sehoolday Visitor," a monthly
issued by Daughaday & Becker, 424 Walnut
street, addresses itself to that difficult age
when the tractability of childhood is gone, the
self-respect of adolescence yet to come, and
the urchin is left on the hands of the house
hold, a graceless Ishmaelite and pest. This
magazine, neatly applied, acts like a charm.
Jacob Abbott, Harriet B. McKeever, Mrs.
Boyd and George Mogridge (more recogniza
ble as 'Old Humphrey'), are among the com
pany of contributors whose effect on the exu
berant vitality of the mischievous age is such
a happy one. They all write, with their
usual excellence, for the October number.
One of the best contributors to the Visitor
above named—one of the kindest friends of
children, the most studious of their ways and
and most conversant with their capricious
little tastes,—has devoted her spare hours to
copying out a series of favorite poems adapted
to their time of life. The volume is entitled
"Children with the Poets, - and has been very
prettily got up by Claxton, Remsen h ELaf-
Miss McKeever's collection,—by
no means omitting the poems of her own au
thorship—is marked throughout with an in
terest in juvenile ways of thought, that will
surely be appreciated by the apple-checked
auditory. The only suggestion we would
make for a future edition would be a little
more attention in looking up the names of the
writers—surely a trifle of industry would have
supplied authors' names to poems so flue and
popular, for instance, as Bryant's "Robert of
Lincoln"—here credited to Miss McKeever's
most eloquent and prolific author, ..401071il

"Beppo, the Conscript." By T. Adolphus
Trollope. Peterson 4; Brothers.
This is a fine wild story of life among the
Romagnoles, full of the most perfect local color,
and traced from beginning to end with an
honest enthusiasm which bears along with it
the heart of the reader. How Adolpus Trol
lope enjoys those Italian people he lives to
create !—a kind of prompt-voiced opera
chorus, who are always saying Basta and
dolce far niente, and whose ready talk, lite
rarily speaking, is rather morelaithful to Ital
ianism in general than to the individuality of
the characters. The adventures of Venni,
named Beppo, spread over that fine hill
region of North. Italy which declines from
the Appenines to the Adriatie, southward
from Bologna and northward from Ancona.
Of Beppo's bad luck in the draft—of his
shelter in the care of the mountain monks
when he hides to evade it—of how the ob
ject of his jealousy, Corporal Tenda, is left
behind with his little Giulia—and of how
everything comes right at last,—Trollope de
lightedly tells; tells with his own easy viva
city, and with all that familiarity with peas
ant.life in Italy which constitutes him the
most vivid and reliable of improvvisatori.
Except the "Shilling Shakspeare," we
_know_ of-no- edition--so cheap —and -- dainty as
the "Half-dollar Tennyson," just put out by
Ticknor & Fields. In this rich pamphlet, we
have all that Tennyson has written and ac
knowledged, (as well as, p. 241, a canticle
or so he does not acknowledge,) to the pres
ent time, printed with the elegance that be
longs to the University Press of Cambridge,
and revised and punctuated with that nice
care which characterizes Messrs. Ticknor &
Fields's proof-reader. Accuracy, compact
ness and cheapness have never gone further
together. The profile of the -poet, in his
present bearing, forms a telling vignette for
the cover.—Pitcher has it. - -
"Talks with a Child on the Beatitudes" is
an earnest, prdfound investigation of the high
est doctrine ever promulgated among men.
But it is surely too maturely expressed for ju
venile readers. As worthy the consideration
of the man, still more than "the father of the
man, - " we conscientiously recommend it.—
