A WATCH IN rpm NIGHT.
ET ALGERNON CHARLES rwOrtuntra.
Watchman, what of the night 2.— _
Storm and thunder and rain, ,
Lights that waver and'waria,
leaving the watch-fires unlit.
Only the baletires are bright,
And the flash of the lamps noir and then
From a palace where spoilers aft,
Trampling.the children of men. -
•Pircpbet, what of Pie night?—,
• I stand by the verge of the* Sent,
Banished, uncomforted, free,
Bearing the noise of the waves.
And sudden ilasheAtbat smite
Some man's tyrannous head,
Thundering, heard among graves
That hide the hosts of hls dead.
Mourners, what of the nlghtt
All night through without sleep
Wo weep, and we weep, and we weep
Who shall give us our sone?
Beaks of ravut and kite,
Months •of wolf and of hound,
Glve us them Onk whom the guns
Shot for you duid on the ground.
Dead mcu, wliat of the night?—
Cannon, and scaffold, and sword,
Horror of gibbet and cord,
; Mowed ns as sheaves for the grave,
Mowed us down for the night.
We do not grndxe or :ropent,
Freely, to freedom we gave
Pledges, till life should be spent,
Statesman, what of tLe night?—
The
night will last me my time.
The gold on a crown or a crime
Looks well enough yet by the lamps
Have we not fingers to write,
Lips to swear at a need?
Then, when danger decamps,
Bury the word with the weed.
Warrior, what of the night?— o
Whether it be not or be,
Night is as one thing to me.
I for one, at the least,
Ask not of dews if they blight,
Ask not of flames if they, slay,
Ask not of prince or of priest
Bow long ere we put them away.
Master. what of the nlght?
Child, night is not at all
Anywhere, fallen or toren,
Save in our star-stricken eyes.
lorth.of oar eyes it takes flight,
Look we but once nor before
Nor behind us, but straight on the skies;
Night is not then any more.
Exile, what of the night?—
The tides and thalteurs run out,
The seasons of death and of doubt,
The night-watches bitter and sore.
In the quicksands leftward and , right
My feet sink down under me;
But." know the seents_of the shore
And the broad-blown breaths of the sea.
Captives, what of the night?—
It rains outside overhead,
Always, a rain.that is red,
And our faces are soiled with the rain.
Here, in the seasons' despite,
Day-time and night-time are one,
Till the curse of the kings and the chain
Break, and their toils be undone.
Christian, what of the night ?
I cannot tell: I am blind,
I halt and hearken behind.
If haply the hours will go back
And return to , the dear dead light,
,To the watch-fires and stars that of old
&tone where the sky now Is black,
Glowed where the earth now is cold.
High-priest, what of the night?—
" The night kr horrible here
With haggard faces and fear,
Blood, and the burning of fire.
"dine eyes are emptied of eight,
Mine hands are full of the dust,
If the God of my faith be a liar,
Who is it that I shall trust ?
Princes, 'what of the night?—
Night with pestilent breath
Feeds us, children of death,
Clothes us close with her gloom.
Rapine and famine and fright
Crouch at our feet and arp fed;
Earth where we pass is a tomb,
Life where we triumph Is dead
Martyrs, what of the nigi t ?
Nay, is it night with you yet?
We, for our part, we forget
What night was, if it were.
The loud red months of the fight
Are silent and shut where we are
In our eyes the tempestuous air
Shines as the face of a star.
England, what of the night
Night is for slumber and sleep,
Ware, no season to weep;
Let me alone fill the day.
Bleep would I still if I might,
Who have slept for two hundred years.
Once I had honor, they say;
But slumber is sweeter than tears.
France, what of the night ?
Night is the prostitute's noon,
Kissed and drugged till she swoon,
Spat upon, trod upon, whored.
With blood-red rose•garlands
Round me reels in the dance
Death, my savior, my lord,
Crowned; there ie no more France
Italy, what of the night ?
Ah, child, child, it is long !
Moonbeam and starbeam and song
Leave it dumb now and dark.
Yet I perceive on the height
Eastward, not now very far,
A song too lond for the lark,
a light too strong for a star.
Germany, what of the night ?
Long has it lulled me with dreams;
Now at midwateh as it seems
Light is brbegficbiert to Mine eyes,
And the mastery of old and the might
Lives in thejoints of mine hands,
Steadies my limbs as they rise,
Europe, what of the night ?
Aek of heaven, andithe Bea,
And my , babes on the bosom of me,
Nations of mine, but ungrown.
There is one whoshall surely requite
All that endure or that err;
She can answer alone;
Ask not of me, but of her.
Liberty. what of the night?—
I feel not the rod rains fall,
Hear not the tempest at all,
Nor thunder in heaven any more.
All the distance is white
With the soundless feet of the sun.
Night, with the woes that it wore,
Night is over and done.

NEW P UHL I CATIONS.
ThrfrA 4 Attantic” for December.
A second paper, in the December Allcatic,
about Cooperative Housekeeping, comes at last
to the point, and exhibits a scheme for a corn
-Med system {hat may take effect in any town
-containing from twelve t ,to fifty female house
keepers who will unite; the plan is explained in
a series of articles, with comments, the initial
one of which we Bill extract as a specimen of the
Writer's mode of treatment:

would be Bawd all the expenne and' housio-roorn
of separate cooking and washing conveniences;
all the waste of ignorant and unprincipled ser
vants and sewing-women; all the dust, steam and
smell from the kitchen, and all the" fatigue and
,worry of mind occasioned by having the thousand
details of our elaborate modern housekeeping
and dress to remember and provide for.
6th. As all the clear profit on the goods the
housekaper buys is to be paid back to her—and
this profit is about a third on everything con
sumed by her household—even if she take no
active part whatever In the executive
duties of the association, she will, by merely be
ing a member,retelve again $3OO from every $9,00
She lays out. Now It coots hundreds of town and
city families o£ moderate means for food, kitchen
fuel, and servants' wages from $9OO to $l,OOO
year, nor can a woman dress with mere neatness
In these times for less than $2OO a year. Then,
under our present system, about $1,200 a year
passes through the hands of those among ns who
live with what is called moderation and econ
omy. But in co-operative housekeeping a
third of this sum would bo saved, and
we should have as much for $BOO, and get it
more easily and comfortably, than we do now
for $1,200. If, however, the co-operative house
keeper were qualified toll one of the offices of
the association, and chose to do so, then, beside
ber dividend of profit, she would have also the
salary of her oflice; both salary and dividend,
remember, being clear gain, since her expenses
aro provided for along with those of her husband
and children.
RKASONB FOR TUE AS.zOCIATION'tS BELLING AT RR-
TAIL PRICES, INSTEAD OP AT COST
Since the association would, of course,
buy everything at wholesale, like any
other store, it may be asked why, in
stead of buying at • the usual retail
prices, and receiving back again the third that
Constitutes retail profit, the housekeepers
should not simply pay to the association the coat
Price of their family food and clothing,—as the
saving in the end would be about the same. I
answer, because in Germany and England both
Systems have been tried, and the one proposed
has been found by far the moat successful. It
gives greater zeal and interest to the cooperator
to feel that,without the trouble of thinking about
It as an,economy a little comfortable sum is ac
cumulating for him or her which, at the end of
the quarter or the year, can, either be used for
some household comforter invested in some of
the enterprises for the benefit of the association,
that, as in Rochdale, would very soon make their
appearance in connection with it.
The contemplated Associations would include
central Laundries and Sewing-Rooms, in the
lager of which we find the novel figure of the
Cottlime-Artist.
FUNCTION OF TILE COSTUME-ARTIST
As the idea of this officer is a favorite one with
me, in closing my remarks about this branch of
cooperation, I should like to enlarge upon it a
All women know, by irritating experience, the
countless days and hours we spend in wandering
from shop to shop to fled things a few cents
cheaper or just a shade nrettler,—the indescriba
ble small tortures of doubt and anxiety we suffer
in long balancing between what is more or less
becoming, or better or poorer economy,—the
exasperating regrets that rend us when we find
(as in five cases out of ten we do find) that we
have made a mistake. Now, all this could be
saved if we could go to a person for advice, who,
from talent, study, and experience, knew better
what we wanted than we do ourselves. Some
women possess the special instinct for,
and insight into, dress that others en
joy as regards cooking. Its combi
nations and results are as much a matterof course
to them as are those of his formulte to the mathe
matician. With unerring judgment they select
the right stuffs, the right shapes, and the right
colors; the effect they see in their mind's eye they
reprouce to the eyes of others, and it is delici
ous and satisfying in proportion as with the bold
ness of originality they unite the refinement and
taste diffused by culture through the educated
classes of society. Such women I would make
Costume-Artists, for they in truth possess, in this
direction, the creative quality of genius. They
use their talents now only for themselves,
and within very narrow and conventional
limits, while the comprehensive glance they are
very apt to give ore from head to foot, is enough
to make them dreaded by the whole circle of their
acquaintance. But let one utilize this glance;
convert It from an involuntary mental comparison
between what one is and what ore ought to be,
into a kindly professional summing up and deci
sion of what one can be, and dress for most of us
would become a very different matter.
The post of the costume-artist would be in the
consulting-room, on the first floor of the coopera
tive clothing-house, whither whoever wanted a
dress could go, it she chose, and be advised as to
the fabric ehe had best select for her purpose,
and in wbat mode it should be made and.
trimmed. Bat as every woman might not care,
or in every case be able to afford, to pay for the
finished artistic touch or "air" in dress, the cos
tume-artist, as such, need have no regular salary,
but should ask so much for every consultation.
Thus the establishment would avoid the mistake
made by fashionable dress-makers wno irritate
their customers by overcharging them for the
"trimmings," instead of having it understood
that a consultation fee of from three to fifty dol-
lars, according to the brain work required in de
signing a. dress, will be charged to begin With.
There is no fear but that the costume-artist
would make a handsome income, when we con
sider the need women have of dress to heighten
their charms and to palliate their defects, and the
little knowledge or instinct that many of them
possess for the successful accomplishments of
these results.
WRY DRESS IS NOT A FINE ART, AND ROW IT MAT
BECOME SO
For the whole subject of the esthetics of dress
is in a crude, and in some respects positively
savage, state among us. What, for instance,does
the clerk who urges the stuff upon the buyer, or
the dress-maker who cuts and trims it, know
about that harmony of texture, color and form,
which should subsist between the wearer and her
robe? What about the grace of outline which
should control its fashion? the effectiveness of M
ilne and crossline which should guide its orna
thentatlon, and manifold other inibtlle considera
tions? Nothing; and therefore nothing could
better repay the co-operative housekeepers than
to offer inducements and facilities to those two or
Iliretatrevo, y mil, cie — whtrfire — dititin - gultilied — for
taste and elegance in dress to make a study of the
whole matter, with a view to elevating it into
one of the finer arts instead of perpetuatiog the
coarse, often vulgar, apology for beauty
and fitness that it is at present.
The imperfect adaptation by women of the means
of dress to its true ends is a never-failing sub
ject of complaint and ridicule against us by the
other sex; but, it is not surprising that the fash
ions are so often grotesque. exaggerated, incon
venient and oven physically and morally inju
rious, when it is known who seta them. Not the
ladies of the French Court, not even the "queens
of the demi-monde" that the newspapers so love
to talk about, design the things that destroy oar
peace; but French and German men, In the em
ploy of the manufacturers, and for their benefit
make water-color drawings of every novelty and
extravagance that comes into their heads,
and send thew, with the new
stuffs and trimmings that another
set of men have invcnted,to the Parisian modisted,
who, in conjunction with weir rich patron
esses, the court ladies and courtesans, contrive
to modify them into something wearable, but
still absurd enough,as a suffering sex can testify.
Toilets at once healthful, suitable, and beautiful
-for _women_of..every _age, oL._ever_y_ grode_of
- means and position - and on every occasion, will
never be attempted nor so much as dreamed of,
until cultivated ladies, uniting that special talent
for dress which is one of the most belied and
abused of the feminine attributes to an accurate
knowledge of the structure and requirements
of the feminine physique, a fine percep
tion the ideal possibilities of all its types,
and a historical and artistic mastery of all the re
sources for its adornment, shall make the attiring
of their fellow-women their special vocation. One
or two such costume-artists in every co-operative
sewing -rook would in the end effect as entire ro
volution in the whole idea of fashion; for, Within
certain limits every woman wOtild have a fashicin
of her own. Such distressing anomalies as blond
hair smoothed and pomatumed as it - was - twenty
years ego, and dark hair curled and frizzed as it
is now, with a thousand others' equally melan
choly, would disappear, and every assemblage of
women, instead of presenting a monotony at ones
bizarre and wearisome, would -afford the variety
and beauty that now is only attempted at a
fancy - ball
The scheme is summed up ambrosially, as fol
lows, with the 'Kitchen of the Future:

Ing-Zooms, 'Would bo to all of us, however, to my
view, they are secondary ln dignity and teoftti
nese to the Co-operative Kitchen, since good;

and freshly served, lies at the very: foundation Of

easiest way for the co-operatiVe, hbusekeepers
to organize their kitchen would:be A? send for
Professor Blot, and place themselves ' under his
direction. Failing in this, the committee on the
co-operative kitchen musts have recourse to ho
tels'
restaurants, bakeries, and provision stores,
and from these will, no doubt, be. able Ito judge
what kind and how large a building will be
needed, whether the kitchen can be coMbined
with the laundry, and. what its - stoves ranges,
ovens, boilers, genefal arrangeMents an d ' accom
panying cellars fold storerooms must be. These
large establishments will also enable the commit
: to report on the number Of • divisions,
'officers, asslstants,c servants, • carts, and
horses that would be necessary. For
the method of conveying the meals
hot end on time •to the different families' of the as-
soclation they will probably, have to go to France
or Italy, where cook-shops have long been an
institutlon,---though whether it would be quite
fair to take from a hundred Yankee wits the do-
licions chance of inventing a Universal Heat
generating Air-tight Family Dinner-Box I do not
know. How many of the co-operative 'house
keepers would choose to be connected with the
kitchen of course themselves alone could de
cide. Obviously it must have a superintendent,
a treasurer, a bookkeeper; a caterer to contract
with butchers, gardeners, farmers and whole
sale dealers; a stewardess to keep the storerooms
and cellars and give out the supplies;
and an artist-cook or chiefess with her assistants,
a confectioner, a pastry-cook, and a baker, to
preside over their preparation. As all of these
would be positions of peculiar trust and respon
sibility, demanding superior judgment, ability,
and information, as the salaries connected with
them would be largo, and the persons filling
them necessarily of great weight and consider
ation in the community, I cannot imagind any
woman, except from indolence, ill health, or a
preference for some other employment, travell
ing to accept of either of these offices. Regarding
cookery, I believe that, like dress, it will never
be what it can and ought to become, until
women of social and' intellectual culture make it
the business of their lives, and; with thoughts un
fettered by other household cares, devote them-
Selvee, like lesser providencee, to its benign ne
cromancy. Being one of the great original func
tions of woman, like clothes-makiqg and-infant
rearing there is no doubt that she has a ,special
gift or instinct for it; *ldle the superior keenness
of her senses and fastidiousness other taste must
It her peettliarly for all its finer and more'com
plicated triumphs. All the*Paris letters lately
have mentioned Sophie, cook of 'the late Dr.
yeron of Paris,—only a woman, and probably
an uneducated woman at that. Never
theless, she is said to be "the most con
suinmate culinary artist of the day ;
looking down with unspeakable contempt on
Baron Brisee, and even on Rossini and Alexander
Minas. Ministers. bankers, artists, men of let
ters paid obsequious court to this divinity bf the
kitchen.who ruled despotically over her master's
household and dining-room, and who-had-made
it a law that no more than fourteen guests should
ever sit together at the doctor's table."* If 'such
.s her success, what an artist was lost to the
world in the Now England housekeeper I at
tempted to describe. Delicate to etherealness,
accurate to mathematical severity, she might
have wrought - marvels indeed; had she
been initiated into' the mysteries of the
modern cuisine. Therefore, above all things. let
the co-operative housekeepers appoint one of
their number, at a liberal salary, to the office of
cook-in-chief. If possible, let them , afford her
every advantage of gastronomical education,
ouch as go through the great French chefs, who
learn sauces from one master, entries -from an
other, confections from a third, and so on. If the
co-operative kitchen should ever become univer
sal, we shall probably see American ladies 1.2 y
tens going out to Paris to study under just such
artists as the great.flophie above mentioned, and
then returning home to benefit the whole
country with their accomplishments. It
Is a well known fact that no
nation in the world has such a variety
and abundance of the best food that Nature gives
as we ourselves. Cue teems with such bounty
to her adopted children that it has often seemed
to me a misnomer to call our country "Father
land,"—Mother-land she is for the whole earth,
with her broad lap of plenty sloping from the
Rocky Mountains down to the very Atlantic
Shore, as If inviting the hungry nations to
come over to it and be fed. What feasts fit for
the immortals might grace every table, if we
enlk knew bow to turn our treasures to the
best advantage,—and to think that millions of

horribly heavy pies !
Perhaps the beat paper in the number is the
stirring recital of the History of the Slave Trade,
contributed by Mr. E. E. Hale under the title of
'The First and the Last." We extract the fol
owing :
TUE I%IO.7.k:STERS Vl' THE SLAVE TRADE
I have seen the record which Mr. Archibald,
the English Consul and Commissioner in New
York, kept of one hundred and seventy-one of
these vessels in three years' time. His secret
agents boarded them in New York harbor, and
described them tor him in detail, even down to
the brand of cigars which the captain had in his
cabin. Mr. Archibald sent the description to the
Admiralty, and they to the coast. "Let me go
below," said an English officer, on board a slaver
in one of the African rivers. "You go at your
peril " Bald the captain, brave in the perfectly
regular papers he had, the stars and stripes
over his head, in the new coat of paint he had
taken at the Western Islands, and in the fact,
perhaps, that though he sailed a bark, ho was
now a brig. "You go below at your peril."
"I will take the risk," said the Englishman;
went below, and found all the slave-fittings,
casks, cooking. stove handcuffs, and the rest,
and of course seized vessel. The outwitted
captain, white with rage, swore between his
clenched teeth, "You would not have known
me but for your bloody English Counsel in New
York." Almost every man of the projectors was
known to the English government through this
steady secret service. But they all ran riot till
Mr. Lincoln came in, and then' one fine day one
Gordon was arrested for slave-trading, another
day he was tried, and another ho was hanged!
Yee, my friend, he was-hanged, -I-know-about
what is called the sacredness of human life. For
my part, I believe a man's life is as sacred as his
liberty, and no more so. And I believe when his
oun try -reentres.either-his.lifnor—his—lilearty-ehe
may use it if Bhp" takes the responsibility. In
this case, I am very glad my country..took this
responsibility. Whatever Gordon's. life'may have
been worth to him or to his friends, I think We
country put it to a very good use when she'
hanged him. A storm of protest was made
against his death. Twenty•flve thousand people
petitioned Abraham Lincoln to spare
that man's life, and Abraham Lin
coln refused. Gordon was hanged.
And all through the little ports ana big ports
of the United States it was known that a slave
trader had been hanged. And when that was
known the Afnerican slave trade ended. All np
and down little African rivers that you never
heard the names of.it was known that an Ameri•
can slave-trader had been hanged; and cowardly
pirates trembled,and brave seamen cheered When
they heard it. Mothers of children thanked audit
gods as they knew how to thank; and slaves shut
up in barracoons, waiting for their voyage, got
signal that something had happened which was
1,0 give them freedom. That something was that
Gordon was hanged. So far that little candle
threw its beams.
I am told, and I believe, that when that poor
wretch was under sentence of death, his "friends"
_ltepthlin in liquor to the moment of hisdeatii,,,
so anxious were they lest he should complicate
come of them by a confession. And when he
was dead they celebrated hia death in the last
great orgy of the slave-trade,—in one drunken
feast they held together,—so rejoiced were they
that they had escaped hie testimony. Such is the
honor aniong thieves!
LAST STRUGGLES OF THE TRAFFIC. -
The demand still continued. The Braaten
trade waa at an end. But Cuba and Porto Leo
used up men and women enough to support a
very active trade, if the vessels could slip through.
I do not dare to say how many men were caged
on the African coast in the years 1864 and 1866.
waiting for a chance when they might be shipped
to the islands. It has required the Spanish rev
olution of October, and the new Junto there, to
proclaim the end of Spanish slavery!
But every report of the next year, fromtevery
quarter, speaks of the healthy influence of the
execution of Gordon and the imprisonment of
the other traders convicted. From that moment
to this the American flag has been free from that
.old stain.__Since the_blockade we have been _able
to send back our squadron to the coast. We

rat flior of , the Literary Notices, in a•roview of
Gould's"'Essay on the Genius of J. B. Booth,"
exprestes the following very just and eloquent
estimate of the talents of that great actor
Booth—
IMUTUS BOOTH.
The elder Booth— the father of the distinguished
tragedian now so popular in all American theatres
—had a certain strangeness of, character
which discriminated him from all other actors,
and almost lifted him out of the operation of the
conventional rules which properly regulate ordi
nary life. More than log other Heel% per
former of whom we possedillian authentic record,
he was of "Imagination all compact." His real
existence was. passed in an ideal region of
thought, character and piission; and, however
feeble he may have been, conaldenal simply as
Mr. Booth, there could be no question of his
greatness, considered as Hamlet, Othello, Mac
beth, or Lear. To the student of Shakespeare
his acting was the most suggestive of all interpre
tative criticisms of the poet by whose genius
he bad been magnetized. Through his im
agination t ho instinctively divined that
Shakespeare's world represented the possibilities
of life rather than its actualities; into this ideal
region of existence his mind as instinctively
mounted; and the essentially poetic element in
Shakespeare's charactere was therefore never ab
sent from his personations. By his imagination,
also, be passed into the spiritual depths of a com
plex Shakesperean creation; grasped the unity
which harmonized all the varieties of his manifes
tation; realized, indeed, the imagined individual
so completely that his own individuality seemed
to melt into it and be absorbed. Other tragedians
appeared, in comparison with him, to deduce the
character from the text, and then to act the de
duction ; his bold was ever on the vital
fact, and he thus conceived what others in
ferred, reproduced what others deduced, en
souled and embodied what others merely
played. Shakespeare's words, too, were so
domesticated in his mind, so associated
with the character they expressed, that in utter-.
Ing them he did not seem to remember, but to
(alginate. All the steCuliarities of a man who
speaks under the pressure .of impasaioned ima
gination were viaiole in his acting. The rapid
and varied geature indicating or shaping each
one of the throng of contending images rushing
in upon histaind;c gleam and glow of eye and
i t
cheek, as words nggied impatiently for utter
ance in his throe , f hinting the physical impo
tence of the organ to keep up with the swift
pace of the soul's passion,—these, and scores of
other things lying between what may be
perfectly . expressed-. and what is in
itself . inexpressible. created a positive
illusion in the audience. Perhaps this illusion
was most complete in those passages which peo
ple are commonly educated to treat as general
reflections, entirely independent of the characters
by whom they are uttered. Booth always gave
these as individual experiences, flashing oat, in
the most natural way, from the minds of the
characters in the varying positions in which they
were placed. Thus nothing can be more general,
More impersonal, as ordinarily conceived, than
Macbeth's series of questions to the doctor, be
ginning,
"Cans t thou not minister to a mind diseased ?"
The passage is so stereotyped in all memories as
the authorized expression of a troubled con
science, that even the most careful actors are apt
to give it as a detached didactic reflection, rather
than as an intense dramatic experience. As Booth
gave it, the general truth was all swallowed up In
the perception of its vital, individual application
to the condition of Macbeth's mind at the time
it was uttered. Macbeth, it will be remembered,
is in a flurry of action and meditation, of resolute
purpose and agonized remorse :
" Send out more horses, skirr the country round;
Hang those that talk of fear.—Give me mine
armor.—
How does your patient, doctor?
Deco Not so sick, my lord,
As she is troubled with thick-coming fancies,
That keep het from her rest."
Nobody that ever witnessed it can forget the
• convulsive eagerness with which Booth rushed to
the doctor with the imploring demand,
" Cure her of that !"
And then came, in a strange, wild blending of
hope and despair,
"Caner thou not minister to a mind diseased ?''
The auditor felt at once that it was Macbeth's
own mind, and not the mind of humanity in
general, that prompted the question. The nest
line,
"Pluck froth the memory a rooted sorrow?"
was accompanied by a tearing gesture of both
hands over his brow, as though there might pos
sibly be some physical, external means of fox—
tracting the baleful memory which he felt was
rooted in his own moral being.
"Raze out the written troubles of the brain ?"
His gesture in this line was indesiribaby pathetic,
—a motion of the fingers over the forehead, as It
•

scribed. Then came the tremetiaous Tines,—
"And with some sweet oblivious antidote...
Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff
That weighs upon the heart?"
Our Young Folks. Both the veteran and the
juvenile magazines issued by Fields, Osgood dr,
Co., promise great attractions for the year 1869.
The Atlantic, for its piEces de resistance, looks
forward to a aeries of historical articles from the
great Lothrop Motley. Ou'r Young Folks is to be
enriched by a serial "Story of a Bad Boy," by
the poet Aldrich, and some disqttitions on the
"World we live in," by the wife of Prof. Agnes's.
Other treats equally calculated to moisten the
mouths of our boys and girls will be set forty as
the new yt ar advances.
The number for December has some of Hen
nessy and Eytinge's most careful drawings, illus
trating "A Boy King's Christmas," and the poem
by Mr. Willie Winter, called "A Picture's Story."
Harriett Prescott Spofford contributes "Puss;"
Mrs. Moloch Craik wri tee'Running Away;" and
_theiaverite author of "Leslie Goldthwaite" has
- a - second paper about "When she was- a Little
Girl." This is therefore a.charming number, and
the,editors of '69, o with all the ambition they so
proudly express, will have to get up very early in
the twelvemonth to beat it.

TUE FABLES OF HISIOBY.

Dr. Octave Delepierre, the learned Secre

has published a book entitled "Historical
Difficulties and Contested Eventa."
TITS COLOSSVB OF nrionzs
The first delusion to which he addresses
himself is the Colossus of Rhodes. In the
elementary work in use in the English and
American schools, the Colossus of Rhodes is
represented as a statue with gigantic limbs,
each leg resting on the enormous rocks
which face the entrance to the principal
port of the Island of Rhodes, and,ships in
full sail passed easily, it is said, between its
legs. This is the narrative of the historian
Rollin, of several .French dictioriariekand
even of some encyclepedias. The'real trittl(
about the Colossus, according to Dr. Dee
pierre, is that about the year 306, before
Christ, die Rhodians, after successrully -de
fending themselves against a year's siege,
commanded Charles:: to erect • memorial
: • OLAtteir:l4o* v sa# 1:
statue was erected on an open space of ground
near the great harbor, -where its- fragments
were seen and admired by travelers for many
years after its destruction.. Towards the end
of the second century after Christ the Colossus
was reconstructed under the Emperor,yespa q
shin, lint of sicklier dimenslaiis. The fable
of the ancient statue, between whose gigantic
limbs ships in full sail were believed to have
passed, orminated-apparently at the time of
the Crusades, ivhen.the inhabitants of RhodeS
amused themselves by -relating-,to-the new
comers• all sorts of incredible stories of their
past grandeur.
BELIBARIUS.
The romantic tale of Belisarius, the con
queror of the Vandals, deprived of his sight
by the Emperor Justinian, and compelled to
beg his bread in the streets eflConstantinople,
was mentioned by no contemporary historian,
but it has been repeated age after age, and
Diarmontel's novel propagated the fiction in
every language of Europe. The real fact, as
recorded by Gibbon, is that Belisarius was
guarded for - a year:as - a - priporierlin,
palace. His innocence of the treason of
which he had been suspected became then
acknowledged, and his freedom and others
was restored; but death removed him within
a year of.his liberation. He was never blind
nor a beggar.

ABSLAAD AND ELOIBA. -
The history of two lovers, Abelari and
Eloisa,; Dr. Delepierre takes to be true as a
whole, but he contends that the celebrated
letters imputed to Eloise were not written
by her at ail, and that the tomb in Pere la
Chase at Paris, is altogether a modern con
struction.
W17.L14.31 TELL.
The tale of Williani Tell is pronounced to
be nothing more or less than a Northern
saga that has been adopted and repeated'
from generation to. generation. The revo
lution which took place in Switzerland in
1307, gave rise to the legend of the Swiss
hero, and from that time to the present wri
ters have continually endeavored • to expose
its unsound basis, but the public, equally
pertinacious, have insisted on believing tin its
truth. The story was net knoWn until two
centuries after the supposed event, and the
chrenicles of the middle Ages, so eager after
extraordinary facts and interesting news are
entirely, ignorant of it. 'Tell's lime - tree, in,
the centre ' of the market place at Altdorf,and`
his crossbow, preserved in the arsenal at Zu
rich,are not more valid proofs than the pieces
of the true cross which are exhibited in a
thousand places.
TETRARCH AND LAURA
Petrarcb Was a great poet and great politi
cian, but he was not altogether the Platonic
lover some have represented him to be. With
regard to Laura- all is doubt, obscurity and
hypothesis. All traces left of her were to
faint,' even in the century in which she lived,
that doubts are entertained of her existence.
Batdella, a very partial commentator on. Pa
trarch, is obliged to confess that the poet was
by no means faithful to his divinity; but an
other, whom he loved after a less ideal fashion
presented him with a daughter, who after
wards became the consolation of his 01 age.
Laura has made far more noise in the world
during the past four or Live centuries than she
ever' did in her own time.
JOAN OF ARO
We are VOWAsked to belioVethat .Tomfor.,
Arc was not burned at Rouen, as is commonly
said, but that some other unknown creature
was sacrificed in her stead. This is the weakest
of all Dr. Deleplernt's positions. He takes as his
principal authorWsome professed discoveries
by Pere Zigner,, awarding to whigh the con
tract of marriage between one Roberedes Ar
moises, chevalier, with the Maid of Orleans,
has' been disbovered. When the victim was;
led to the stake, a large mitre was placed on
her head, which concealed the greater part
of herace, and a huge frame covered with
insulting phrases was carried before,and corn
pletel3,- covered her person.
The generally received belief of Charles V.
is that, after his abdication, he retired to a
convent, adopted the habit of a monk, and
occupied himself solely With the mechanism
of clocks and watches; and at last personally
rehearsed his own funeral. All this, says the
Belgian savant is, in fact, nothing but a tissue
of errors, clearly disproved by existing authen
tic documents. Charles V. did not live with
the monks; he never wore the habit of the
order, and he never ceased to wield the im
perial sceptre de facto, and to control the
affairs of the State. He had, moreover, a
residence built for himself; detached
from the convent, but communicating
by passage with the cloister and the
church. Far from adopting an appearance
of poverty or limiting his attendance to
twelve in number, his household consisted 'of
more than fifty individuals, whose anneal
salaries amounted to some 1'4,400 sterling of
the present day. The profusion of plate taken
by the Emperor to the monastery was em
ployed generally for the wards of the estab
lishme,nt, and for his personal use. Courtiers
were continually arriving and departing, and
the Emperor was almost as much immersed
in public affairs in his retreat as he had been
when actually on the throne. Although he
had delegated the official authority, he re
tained the habit of command, and was Em
peror to the last.
GALILEO
Dr. Delepierre denies that Galileo ever
uttered the celebrated words, "But still it
moves." No doubt this protestation of truth
againat falsehood may, at the cruel crisis,
when at the age of 77, he pronounced on his
knees a form of recantation, have rushed
from his heart to his lipS, but if these words
had actually been heard, his relapse would
infallibly have led him , to the stake. It is I
denied that be,was subjected to torture at
all. He became completely blind after his re
cantation, and was attended in his Solitude by
his two daughters from a convent.- One of
them was taken from him by death; but she ,
was replaced by other, affectionate relatives,
who endeairoreff , to-Amusia and- conrole the -
lonely captive. His letters breathe a poetical ,
melancholy, a quiet irony, an overwhelming
humility. and an overpowering sense of weari l
ness.
A.BATCII_9F FALLACIES.
Du Par, in his "Recherches sur les A.meri
caines,"' says that Montezuma sacrificed
20,000 children to the idols ill thetemples of
Mexico. liiiti a -essern:ons the, improbability
and exaggerations are so eelf-evident that it is
needless to dwell- upon them. Rooks tell us
that -the Duke of Alva put to death' by the
hands of the executioner, in the Low Coun
tries, 18,000 gentlemen, while the• fact is
scarcely 2,000 men could'have been collected
there.
Even in the time of Titus Livius there was ,
so much doubt as.to the truth of the legend of
the Horatii and Curatii, that he writes, one
cannot tell to which of the contending people
the Horatii and Curatii belonged. Yet this
cautious historian related in another plaee
that Hannibal fed his soldiers on human flesh
to give them energy and courage. N.. de
Humboldt, you may remember, set himself to
disprove some of the anecdotes of Christopher
Columbus; the fable of the egg he is said to
hive broken in-order-to makeitstand upright,
and the anxiety amounting to agony, among
his crew to whom he had
_faithfully promised
a sight of land.
In the history of, England, the. Duke of
Clarence was for four centuries believed to
have been drowned in a butt of bialmsey,but
the author of "The Historic Antiquities of
the Tower of London" claims to have entirely
exposed 'this as an error.
According to' the Abby Barthelemy, at the
memorable battle of Thermopyke, Leonidas,
instead of resisting <the Persians with three
htindred men, :commanded at least seven
thouinuid men: The learned Spons ridicules'
the pretended wit of Diogenes, and explains
it in"quite another way. Alfred Maury en
-deavora to c9livlnce us, that Ccesar neversaid
and never would have said to the pilot," Why
do you fear ? yotothave Ctesar and his fortunes
on board."
Wlien wezeflaet on the innumerable'errors
daily propagated by books, Dr. Delepierre
gets alarmed at the strange confusion in which
THE-DAILY EVENING. BULLETIN-PHILAD.ELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER ;13,1868.
he Ibidees all literature may tind 'Mr a few
centuries hence. It is very possible that his
torical events will be elan more difficult of
proof than before the Mention of printing,
which may, consequently, have ''served to
,augment disorder and perplexity rather than
to have assisted in the promotion of truth and
accuracy. •
