Vet faintest among the signs of a ripening
civilization is the distinction of 'producing ele

neble and tiumannered as he hits allays, been
in his style, has made a vereticin of the Iliad
worthy of himself. thigood & lki. pub
lish the volume, which may be plated in tibia-,
ries beside Longfellow's Dante.
We can best show the quality of Mr. Bryant's
translation by it few extractS, which, to reveal
stdl further his place in the translating competi-.
&tiwhich distinguishes the day, we Will compare
with passage's from other versions, especially
using for the purpose Lord Derby's, a particu
'ally interesting study, from its recent appear
ance, its popular success, and the late
lamented death :of its author.
We begin with the beginning, which gr.
Bryant transTates thus:
13.11.YANT'8 VEMION.
. •
"m Goddess.! sing the wrath' of Pelens's son,
Achilles; FAng the deadly wrath that brought
'Woes numberless• upon the Greeks, and
FlXept ,
SO.HadeF many a valiant soul, and gave
Their limbs a prey to dogs and birds of air,—
jor f o had 'Jove appoint° 1, --from the time
When the two chiefs,. Atridrs, king - of men,
.And great Achilles, parted first :Ls foes,"
And Lord Derby thus :
LORD DERBY!S VERSION
" Ofreleus's son, Achilles, sin ,O Muse,
The vengeance deep and deadly; whence y to
Greece
unnumbered ills arose ' • which Many a soul
Of mighty warriors to the viewless shades
Untimely sent; they on the battle plain
Vnbttried lay, a prey to ravening dogs
And carrion 'birds ; but so had Jove decreed,
From that sad day when first in wordy war,
The mighty Agamemnon, King of men,
Confronted stood by Peleus's godlike son."
We next cite (because we suspect the reader
will look for it) the famous description of the
watch-lires, at the end of the Eighth Book.
First, Mr. Bryant :
RRYANT 8 VERSION
" so, high in bope, they sat the whole night
through
In warlike lines, and many watch-fires
blazed.
As when in heaven the stars look brightly
• forth
Round the clear-shining moon, white not a
breeze
Stirs in the depths of air, and all the stars
Are seen, and gladness fills the shepherd's
heart, -
So many fires in sight of Ilium blazed,
Lit by the sons of Troy, betweer the ships
And eddying Xanthus: on the plain there
shone
A thousand •; fifty warriors by each fire
Sat in its light. Their steeds beside the
ears—
Champing their oats and their white barley—
stood,
And waited for the golden morn to rise."
Mr. 13ryant omits the lines we are goirn , to
italicise in Mr. Tennyson's translation, for the
reason (stated in his preface) that they are re
garded by the best critics as not properly be
longing to the text, but as transferred to it by
some, interpolator from another simile in the
Sixteenth Book.
TENNYSON S TRANSLATION
of this same passage :
"And these all night -- upon the - ridge - of: war
Sat glorying; many a fire before them blazed;
As when in heaven the stars about the moon
Look beautiful, when all the winds are laid ;
And every height comes out and jutting peak
And valley, and the i2nmensurable heavens
Break open to their highest, and all the stars
shine and the shepherd gladdens in his heart;
!So many a lire between the ships and stream
•tif XanthusNazed before the towers of Trov,
A thousand on the plain ; and close by each,
itat fifty in the blaze of burning
,fire ;
And cbamping golden grain, the horses
•
stood
Close by their chariots, waiting for the
dawn."
LORD DERBY
"Full of proud hopes;,upon the. pass of war,
All night they camped; and frequent blazed
their tires,
As when in Heav'n, around' the glittering
7130013,
The stars shine bright amid the breathless air;
And ev'ry crag and ev'ry jutting peak
stands boldly forth, and ev'ry forest glade;
ICv'n to thegates of Heaven is open'd wide
The boundless sky ; shines each particular
•
star
Distinct; joy fills the gazing shepherd's heart.
Bo bright, so thickly scatter'd o'er the plain,
Before the walls of Troy, between the ships
And Xanthus' stream, the Trojan watch-fires
blaz'd,
A thousand fires burnt brightly; and round
each
Sat fifty warriors in the ruddy glare;
Champing the provender before them laid,
Bayley and rye, the tether'd horses stood
Beside' the cars, and waited for the morn."
To show the conscientious Mr. Bryant
strictly in character, we will proceed to con
trast a portion of the Iliad in blank verse .with
the 'corresponding lines in hexameter—that
fragment, translated by Dr. Hawtrey, which
Mr. Arnold pronounces to be the nearest ap
proach to the effect of the original text, in Eng
lish words. It N in the Third Book, and Helen
isispeaking of her brothers :
DR. lIAWTREI
"Clearly the rest I behold of the dark-eyed
sons of Achaia ;
Known tome well are the faces of all; their
names I remember:
- -Two, two only remain,. whom I see not among
the commanders,
Castor fleet in the ear ) —Polydeukes brave with
the cestus,—
ewn dear brethren of mine: one parentloved
us as infants.
.dre they not hero in the host, from the shores
of loved Lacedwrnon,
v- Cy, though they came with the rest in ships
that bound through the waters,
Dare they not enter the light or stand in the
council of Heroes,
All for fear of the shame and the taunts my
crime has awakened?
Bp said she ;—they long since in Earth's soft
arms were reposing,
There, in their own dear land, their Father
land, Lacethemon."
lir. Bryant's version of these lines is much
more simple :
E=l
"I couldpoint out and name the other chiefs
Of the dark-eyed Achaians. Two alone,
Princes among their people, are not seen—
Castor the fearless horseman, and the skilled
11 boxing, Pollux,—twins; oue mother bore
iitoth'at one birth with me. Did they not
'Come
Frain pleasant Lacediemon to the war?
Or, having crossed the deep in their good

Shun they to fight among the valiant ones
Of Oreece, because of my reproach and
shame?'

Ix Lacedxmon, their dear native land."

By blue-eyed Pallas. Juno the august
natipliter of mighty Saturn, laid in 'haste
The harness, with its ornaments of gold;
Upon the horses. Hebe rolled the wheels,
Each with eight spokes, and joined them:. to
the ends
Of the steel axle—fellies wrought of gold,
Bound with a brazen rim to last for aye—
A wonder to behold. The hollow naves
Were silver, and on gold and silver cords
Was slung the chariot's seat; in silver hooks
Rested the reins, and silver was the pole
Where the fair yoke and poitrels, all of gold,
Were fastened. Juno, eager fettle strife,
Led the swift-footed steeds beneath the yoke.
Then Pallas, daughter of the god who bears
The togis, on her father's palace floor
Let fall in dainty folds her flowing robe
Of many colors, wrought by her own hand,
And, pulling on the mail of Jupiter,
The Cloud.compeller, stood arrayed in arms
For the stern tasks of war. Her shoulder
bore
The dreadful wgis with its shaggy brim
Bordered with Terror—there was Strife., and

Was Fortitude, and there was fierce ?nr

And there the Gorgon's head, a ghastly

Deformed and dreadful, and a sign of woo
When borne by Jupiter. Upon her bead
Bhe placed a golden helmet with four crests
And fair embossed, of strength that might

The armed battalions of a hundred towns ; -
Then stepped into her shining car, and took
Her massive spear in hand, heavy and huge,
With which whole ranks of heroes are o'er

And swiftly urged the steeds. Before their

On sounding hinges, of their own accord,
Flew wide the gates of heaven, which ever-

To open or to close their cloudy veil.
Thus through the gates they drive the obedi-

From the other gods, upori the loftiest height
Of many-peaked Olympus."
LADY BYRON.
Everything that has transpired about Lady
Byron speaks of a woman alike of bad judg
ment and of a somewhat ambitious intelle'et---
ambitious, we mean, in proportion to its
powers-and of this Airs. Stowe gives us - no.
conception. Her marriage was, as she herself,
we suppose, afterwards believed, a fatal mis
take, and as Lord Byron malevolently hinted,
on the very day of his wedding, an ambitious
mistake, a mistake half rooted in the belief that
she would have the power and strength to
wean hint from frightful vices, of the existence
of which she did not pretend to be ignorant.
No doubt the literature of the day, which was
always drawing pictures of young girls reform
ing noble-minded rakes by their love and self
denial and nobility as wives, was likely enough
to have fostered this great enterprise in her,
and should be held partly responsible for
it. Still, no . doubt, the mistake was
in some degree due to.' a very
marked intellectual ambition which is almost
always visible in Lady Byron's letters and
papers, and which none who knew her well
would deny. As the world knows, she was
something of a versifier in her youth, and the
pleasure in a certain eccentricity of intellectual
expression never really left her. Her writing,
to us, has a marked savor of intellectual effort.
She writes to Mrs. Stowe; for instance, in a
letter published by Mrs. Stowe in this book, in
relation to some friend's death, "Her death is
a soul-lois to me also ;" an unpleasant phiase
which sufficiently marks a certain hard school
of sentimentalism. So again in one of her
letters to Mr. Crabb Robinson, she gets quite
transcendental in describing her views of a
literary enterprise then about to be started
—The National Review. It was just at the
time of the resignation of Lord Aberdeen's
government, in consequence of the miseries of
the army in the Crimea, and the succession of
Lord Palmerston to office :
"Has not the nation been brought to a con
viction that the system should be broken up?
And is Lord Palmerston, who has used it so
long and so cleverly, likely to promote that ob
ject ? But, whatever obstacles there may be
in State affairs, that general persuasion must
Moderate other departments of action and .
knowledge. ~ Unreasted coffee' will no longer
be accepted under the official seal—another
reason for a new literary combination for dis
tinct special objects, a review in which, every
separate article should be convergent. If, in
stead of the problem to make a Circle pass
through three given points, it were required to
find the centre from which to describe a circle
through any three articles in the Edinburgh or
Westminster Review, who would accomplish
it ? Much force is lost for want of this one
mindedness amongst the contributors.l
Now, that is undoubtedly forced writing,
and as ineffective as it is forced. Lady Byron
means that it is a great advantage in a review
to be written by like-minded men who have
the same general ends in view, and whose
papers, therefore, will produce a certain unity
of moral impression. That is very well. But
could it be expressed in more pedantic language
than it is in the simile about the circle—lan
guage better calculated to obscure a simple
add natural meaning? The same remark
applies still more forcibly to Lady Byron's
high-flown criticism of her husband's hypo
thetical Calvinism, and of "the angel" in. him
of Which so much has been said:
She drove this sort of theory very. hard
indeed—drove it to eccentricity, and talked,of
What she could not, have .knoWn anything,
when she said in one of her letters to'Mr.
Ciabb Robinson, "it was impossible for me to
doubt that could he (Lord Byron) have once
been assured of pardon, his living faith in a
moral duty and love of virtue would have con
quered every temptation." If Lord Byron
was as bad as lie seems to us, and as his wife
certainly believed him, the assurance of pardon
from God would scarcely have done more for
him than the assurance of pardon from man=
which, as regardit the one he had moat injured,
we suppose he bad. '
There is a certain theoretic pedantry and ef
fort about Lady Byron's literary style, and ri
power of gravely taking up half-real assump
tions (as in the " Dear Duck" letter), whieh
seems to us one of her most marked features.
Mrs. SG:kale has wholly missed this, though it
is one of the most marked weaknesSes of a

'Etifman'S ffagaiiner-Me are gW.I to hAve
to state that this ,magazine take is new
lease of prosperity,:from the ',felicitous ergs go
went of Mr. Parke Godivin as editor. Mr.
Godwin will assume:hia:duties from the April
number and so following: , This ripe scholar,
finished 'sty list; liird !cultivated critic= and , judge
will doubtless estatilistitbe Magazine' on a firin
basis of excellence:' has been associated
with it, in fact, as Ontrlbutor, from its start in
1.9.68, when his portrait appeared inside and the
names of George:William Curtis and Mr: Miller
on the cover. Mr. Godwin, we presume, has
got his History of France so well 'into shape
that he can afford to leave his Eurripean home;
and access to foreign libraries, ,for this country
and for an exacting and onerous responsibility.
Mr. Godwin is an experieneed editor, having
long held a position on-the staff of. the New
York Ertning Post, of which paper his father
in-law, the poet Bryant, is chief proprietor, and
to which be lent that tone of literary excel
lence, and that activity in spreading the news
of letters, which are characteristics of his own.
The following passage, &Om Mr. GOdwiii's salu
tatory, has the right ring:
"We shall not forget that the proper
function'of a Magazine is to amuse as well as
to instruct, or, rather, is to instruct by,means
of „amusement ; and we hope to , gather there--
fore, out of the intellectual life and culture of
the republic, criticisms, sketches, tales, poems,
etc., that shall be au adequate expression of
our new• conditions and our abounding vi
tality. This,we are told, is the impossible part
of magazine editorship : our best mind, it is
said, turns itself toward - practical pursuits:
Pacific Railroads are our epics, and the ri,ng of
hammers and anvils oar lyrics : while the finer
arts—the arts in which all that
,is grand and
beautiful and subtle in a nation's genius is em
bodied—are left to certain delicate nobodies,'
as one of our cynical friends phrases it, who
are without positive personality, and Confess
to no higher inspiration than that of bread
winning for the moment.
such were our notions we should despair,.
not only of Mu literature, bat of the Repttblie
itself; for literature is but the outflowing of
the national heart, and since we have given of
late such ample evidence that our heart is not
dead, we need, entertain no fears of the an
swering: !capacities! of -the-head;- -The flowers
-and fruits of genius will come in !their own
way and time, if we who set ourselves to
watch for them, are not too dull to recognize
their coming, or too' inhospitable to tender
them a generous welcome when they 'arrive."
The magazine has been conducted, of late,
by Mr. Putnam himself, without that, pro
nounced success which shoulci have accrued.
The March number, the last. to appear under
his-supervision, will, however, be au interest
ing one, with a personal article on "Bear-hunt
ing in Sweden," from "out Swedish contribu
tor; "an account of the Viceroy's fête by

Probably. few persons have over thought that
aff little corks to half-ounce vials were once
swung in a lathe and turned out one by one.
:And yet such is thecase„ -From the very small- '
est to the largest, every cork, after the pieces '
have been. blocked :out. roughly; must; be
celved between the 'centre of the mandrels of '
the iathe-heads,..ansk turned of a straight
. or of
tapering form. „ ,
The machinery for working in cork IS singu
larly curious and yet ; exceedingly simple.
Fiery edge-t ool murk `- necessarily be -so Con
structed as to operate with a very sliding or
thawing cut of the edge. • Cork .can :not,. be
worked at all satisfactorily by means of a
crwhing stroke. If one attempts to whittle
cork with, a pocket-knife, he finds that the edge
must ,be very sharp, and:the!. blade niulit be
drawn lengthwise,
ten times the distance that
the edge enters. And even then the surface
cut wilt be rough:';
Cork is received in bales,„abOut tour feet In
length by , twelectequare., The.-slabs- , are of•
all intermediate thicknesses, froni'lialf an inch
to three inches. Large corks are
,cat 'out of
thick slabs, and small ones put of 'thin slabs.
The slabs are first elk Into square pieces, with
a circular blade of steel liungln' every respect
like a cireniscr 'and driven, at a big/five- .
locity. 'The only difference between' such a
'Cutter and a.iittvr,is, that tho periphery of wely- f :
ettlar saw is provided with teeth, :while the
periphery of the cork-Cutter is dressed ,to a.
knife-edge, So as to operiteliith a drairing eat.'
If a.slab of cork be two inchei thick, It is cut
up into strinstwo inches square. The edge of
the revolving blade runs through the dry cork,
like a sharp knife-blade throngh, leather, with
out cutting away ; any keit. -
Hollow- steel. mandrels, Ainning similar to
the mandrels of A turning-lathe, are provided
with a etitting edge - like. a" punch for cutting
round boles in leather. „ A billet of cork is
pressed against the cutting end of, the man
drel, as it'revolve.s at ,a high velocity, and
round cylinder is cut out almost instantly.
These cylindrical pieces are then placed by lit
tle fingers of girls or boys in grooves made a
certain (finance apart in' the periphery of a
wheel that is worked automatically, with such
exquisite accuracy that every little cork is car
ried to a point where the ends will be received,
in a small lathe.__.. As
.soon as.acork is.received,
it is Made to revolve slowly, while a large .cit
cislar blade of steel about two feet in diame
ter, with a knife-edge at the _periphery, re
moves a thin shaving from the cork, as it is neld
in the, lathe, 'giving the, ' cork the desired taper
ing form. As the cutting blade revolves
at. a high velocity; the edge comes. in contact
with the cork with a' very drawing stroke,. so,
that the surface is left quite true and *smooth,
as if it, had been .finished with sandpaper. As
fast as the automatic cork-tuming„ lathe
finishes one, cork and releases it, another is
brought forward. The finished corks are then
shoveled into strong spicks, and shipped to dis
tant Markets.
It was stated by one of the employes of the
cork-cutting establishment in Brooklyn, that
the corks which are cut out of one hundred
dollars' worth of slabs are sold for ever one
thousand dollars. As the manual labor can be
perfonmed'almost without skill, the e'xpenses
incident to cutting are comparatively light, as
employes receive scarcely enough wages to de
fray the expenses of decent board.-31anufac-,

Babiana•..Tbe Babes
_Expected In Eng.
d Session.
We learn that a modern prophet of very
particular pretensions is about to visit Eng
land during this month or next. We borrow
the news trom the Indian papers. For the best
accessible account of the purified Brahmist
coitus called Babism, see article in Zell's Popu
lar Encyclopedia.
"The Indian newspapers announce ghat
BabooKutheb Chunder Nen, the head of the
religious body known as the Bra n t:mists; is
about to visit England next month or the
month after. The weakmess of a Certain portion
of London society for dark faces (says the Pall
.Mall Gazette) will he excusably indulged in
tlie case of a very 'remarkable man, the leader
and second founder of a very remarkable sect.
This sect, whlclr originated with the well
known.Ratomohun Roy, professes a spiritual
ized form of lliudooism near akin to, pure
theism; and all accounts agree in stating that
it possesses extraordinary attractions for the
younggenehtion of educated Hindoes, whom
it has relieved not simply from the gross super
stitions of their ancestors, but from the some
what coarse Materialism of their immediate
predecessors.
,4 The visit of the chief of this body to Eng
land is thus explained by the Indian press: He
and his followers have had much to suffer lately
from three classes very poWerful in India—the
missionaries, the lawyers and the ultra-ortlM
.dox Hindoos. The missionaries have accused
the liaboo of allowing himself to be worshipped
by his disciples; but this charge is energetically
denied, and it is probably founded on some
misrepresentation or misconception of the
exaggerated language in which Hindoos of all
sects address their spiritual advisers. The law
yers have dealt the Bralunists a still deadlier
blow by discovering that all theirmarrla,geS are
illegallyokeelebrated. They seem to have; in
fact, reformed the ordinary marriage ritual of
the Hindoos, which they declare to be idola
trous and obscene, but this Innovation on usage
is stated to be technically fatal to the marriages
themselves."' - '
