The Earthly Paradise. ,- A Poem. By Wil
liam Morris. Part 111. Boston : Roberts
Pros.---. About a year and a half ago we were'
praising the first and second l'arts of this work;
.the variety and articulation of which served to
commend Mr. Morris to a class of readers who
bad not taken much notice of his long epic on
Jason. The Part now ready prolongs the
scheme. of
,distributing a number of talea,along
the Months of the year, and the: present division
includes the three months of Autumn. In
each month are told two legends, of Which, as
heretofore, one has a classical " subject and the
other a medieval one. In - the , month of Sep
tember are recited the deathof Paris in the
presence, of CEnoneoind a' Gothic dream of
4, The Land. East of the Sun and West of the
Won." In October are given the loves of Ac,-
contius anti the high-born Cydippe, with the
'romance of Bliamm, the "Man who, never
laughed again." The third month, November,.
enshrines, the story . of Rhodope and an Ice-.
landic tale, "The, Lovers of Cardran." " The
publishers have in preparation the conclusion
of the work, comprising the three months of
Winter. , Those who have fallen in love with
the preceding portions of "The Earthly Para
dise" will find no anticlimax in the poems now
submitted. In each there is the old refine
ment of narrative power, that of charming the
auditor into a disbelief of the present and . a
temporary credus tile tenderer
realities of magic, enchantment or oracle. Mr.
Morris contradicts the method of the most
prominent poets of the age : and restores
the times when the singing trourire believed
the romance he sung. Without meaning to be
invidious, and without undertaking to decide
which is the better, we can best explain Mr.
Morris by contrasting his method with that of
the most popular poet of the age. How would
the ,Laureate go .about to construct, an .
"Earthly Paradise?" COuld he possibly keep
_ hireself to a simple, softly-savage Eden, and
not exercise himself in constructing some
Eden that should solve the problem of modern
society—endeavor to bring "the statelier Eden
back to men'' rlitt he not 'Lade the Arthurian
legends the bobby-horse to bear his theory of a
perfect and happy autocracy, where every.
marl fauds deli bt Aecordipg to his submiesion
to a faultless chief; and has he not made his
medieval Princess, an awkward anachronism
' burdened with modern troubles, and intro
duced her by means of his most radiant con
ception of a feudal baronet, patronizing "the,
people." with a' largess of science, as a middle
age knight would have patronized them with a
largess of bread?' This kiiid of writing Mr.
Morris contradicts with his simplicity.' For a
modern poet to recede from his ,age,
to abstain from. even giving his persons
individuality of temperament (the he
' roes of these tales are almost exactly
alike in character,. and undergo
,the arrange
ments of fate like the impersonal persons in
the Arabian Nights), is the success of, another
kind of strength. Mr. Morris is absolutely per
. feet in it. His lovely tales are a kind of
groWn-up nursery rhyme, wherefrom meta
physical science is excluded, where the mood of
a happy Credulity is rewarded with the softest
boems of charm, delight and music.—The vol

The Pope and the Council. By Janus,
Authorized Translation from the German-
Boston. Roberts Brothers. 1870.—The in
, teiest of the (Ecumenical assembly increases,
as the question of Papal lufallibility shows
more and more plainly•in the light of a test
• one as to whether councils of the kind have
2:018071 di'lre. Such a discussion, it is seen,
would drag into the very focus of the Nine
teenth century-the spirit of the Tenth. As . for
the attitude of Pius IX. himself, it appears to
be uncompromising. He has within a few
days approved a Prayer for the schismatics of
the Greek their return to
catholicism, "under the infallible etythority of
its chief Pastor, the Roman Pontiff," Is invited.
In such a situation the plea of intelligent Catho
lics, like Dr. D Olinger, of Munich University
. (who is understood to constitute at least a part
of the perionality of "Janus") is profoundly
touching. This class of protesters—and
Father Hyacinthe is one of them—are not,
known, could not. exist, iu America, on the
verges of the constituted Church. Their atti
tude of mind can only exist among those who
have lived near Rome, and have imbibed its
atmosphere. They have been brought up in
the contemplation of its imposing magnificence
and beauty. In America - we - have Catholics
who bring with them from the old- country the
, • waning tradition of faith, and we'have intelli
gent ,sceptics who refuse the claims of the
Church without relenting and without pain.
Neither of these glasses can easily comprehend
the strain of mental conflict in those
" l aNbo dote, yet doubt; suspect; yet strongly
love."
The work Of the Munich theologians who,
under the collective signature of " Janus," coin
pose the present volume, is largely historical.
The knowledge displayed is profound. A few
points have just been raised by an English dis-.
putant against its accuracy in detail, but they
are not calculated to damage the general Mt
pression of truthfulness belonging to the etude.
To get any comfort under the . devastation
produced by "Janus," as he traces the Papal
pretension through the ambition of the early
Bishops to the forging of the lsidorian deeretals,
a good Catholic must fall back upon the
dogma of the Archbishop of Westminster, Eng-.
land, that appeals to history are heresy.
We recommend all intelligent Catholics not to
fail to trace out this remarkable historical
study, upon whOse concatenations we have
not space to dwell. They will be annoyed
with no rhetoric. "Janes," in the most can
did and. open. manner, givesthe' authority for
every statement, in references to canonical and
authentic chronicles; and this open and com
promising reference of polemics to history
never tells better than where he says in closing
his labor: "Theologians and canonists declare
that without complete freedom the decisions of
a Council are not binding, and the assembly is
only a pseudo-Synod.. . decrees...may have
In.he corrected."

in the post of, conservator, which lie 'held for
many years under M. Lltcaze. Artists and
amateurs will find here a-number of Watteau's
works, for which the ," Davidists", had' so, much ,
contempt that the public galleries of France pos
sess scarcely half-a-dozen examples. M. La
cane was always on the look out for these, and
secured' sixteen works, amongst which is the,
famous '" Gilles," which was lost sight of
for years. M. , Denon, when Director of the
Imperial Museums, found this picture , at, one
of the old bric,44,prac shops which stood in the
Cour du Carrousel, with the 'lfollowing'written
upon it in chalk: "Pierrot voudrait vous
plaiie "; be recognized the " Gille§," ptirchased
it for about 200 francs, and, delighted 'With tie
prize, offered it at once to
~'the commission
charged with the purchase of, works for the
Louvre ; but it was unanimously and ,disdain' 7
fully rejected. At the sale of M. Denon's
private collection, after his death, the picture'
was purchased by Sipieres, who sold it in
the early years of Lo'uis Philippe's reign to M.
Lame for 3,000 e. Amongst the other Wat
teaus are a Sleeping . Nymph and Satyr, and
a Man Drinking., Them are several works in
the collection by Boucher, Lancret, Fragonard
and Chardin, and two very remarkable histori
cal portraits by Greuze, those of the Conven
tionnels GOnsonne and Fabre 'd'Eglantine.
Many artists of less renown are represented,
for M. Lacaze not only possessed . : taSte and
judgment,,but also a good share of what our
neighbors calif/air. Amogst works of ,other
schools will be found a "Portrait of Mary de
Midicis " by Rubens ; Rembrandt's " Pool of
Bethesda ;" "A Mendicant," by Ribero.; some
fine portraits by Tintoret; and some examples
of the Ostades and Teniers.
—The importance of the Bayeux Tapestry
as an authority'on costume and armor is thus
supported by M. •Lacornbe, in his " Arms and
Armor ": In the Bayeux Tapestry we ob
serve that some of the combatants who' are
most actively: engaged are on horseback, while
others are Ouloot ; but it is apparent, at the
first
~, l ance, that the arms and equipments of
all these combatants are 'precisely the same.
These men, then, who arg fighting so vigor
ously.'„on foot, we may confidently assume to
Brave been intended to:represent, not, infantry
as 'diStinguished from cavalry, but horsemen,
who froth some cause or other had been
dismounted. The designer of this tapestry,
we may suppose, did not condescend
to give a place in so 'great a work to
any but the miles'-the noble or knightly
Whiles ; and, so far as the tapestry was con
cerned, the peasant foot-soldier and the light
armed vassal had no existence." The same
sentiment is to befound in.Freenian's Norman
conquest. "The Tapestry is equally accurate
in greater matters. The English army. is an
Engish army of the eleventh century and
nothing else. The two classes, of warriors,,
the here and the fyrd, the Housecarls in their
coats of snail with, their axes, the peasantry
armed almost anyhow, are nowhere more
clearly marked. The utter absence of horses,
except as a means, as in the days of Bribtnoth,
for reaching or leaving the field—the King
himself fighting ou foot . . . all these are
touches from a contemporary hand."
—M. Table's lectures on the fine arts deserve
to be attentively read,
,whateVer. may be the
opinion ire entertain respecting the author's
theories. After 'having taken us to Italy and
the Netherlands, he now discoUrses about
Greece, the land of the • beautiful, the birth
place of. esthetics. And yet, when we come
to consider seriously the amount of our know
ledge respecting Grecian art, we find that' it is
comparatively very little:' In the first place,
painting is quite out of the question; and, with
the exception of a few fragments, the speci
mens of real Greek sculpture which we possess
are unimportant. All that we can• con
jecture as to the genius of Phidias, Myron,
Praxiteles and Scupas, is based upon the
study of copies and imitations which are not
always very trustworthy. " Even the Grecian
statues, which are to be seen in our collections
belong to the Roman.epoeh, or, at 'she earliest,
to the days of Alexander the treat's succes
sors, and therefore cannot give us any ade
quate idea of Grecian art in its original purity.
'the biographical details we possess •of painters
and sculptors ausineagre in the extreme,' nor
is it pessible to make op outuf 'the
'writers
al
lusions supplied by. classical writers anything
like a satisfactory description of the res u lts ob
tained by aesthetic culture amongst the Greeks.
So much being left to Conjecture, M. Taine
was more than ever thrown back-upon his fa
vorite thecrieS,about the influence of physical
media, andhe has developed theSe theories
with much eloquence.
—Students of Ten Sou's poetry are probably
by this time aware that his stanzas to "E. L.
on his Travels in Greece," were addressed to
Mr. Edward Lear, on the occasion of his pub
lishing an illustrated diary: similar in style to
his present publication of the "Journal of
a Landscape Painter in Corsica," (Loudon, R.
J. Bush, DM.) Of Mr. Leat's latest illustra
tions a London critic says: "Traveling through
these sketches is, indeed, like taking a journey
into fairyland. .Dore has, scarcely in his
wildest flights 'of fancy conceived landscapes
more sisblithe and strange than those which
are really to be Mond in the forest of I3avella,
and which Mr. Lear has copied with his own
peculiar accuracy."
—lt is now arranged that Mr. Ruskin's
lectures as Slade -- Professor of Fine Art in
Oxford will begin with a discourse, called an
" inaugural lecture," to be delivered at '2
o'clock, on the tith of this FebruarY. He
will also deliver during the term a course. of
six lectures on the limits.and elementary prae
tice of Art. These lectures will• be given in

—A correspondent of the New York Even
ing idail visits the Philadelphia studios. Of
Isaac Williams's "Moonlight on the Susque
hanna" be remarks : "There are rich men of
taste in New York, who, if they saw this pic
ture; would compel Mr. Williams to part with
it, much as lie lovei it." And of the great in
dustry of Mr. E. D. Lewis he observes; " It is
the impulse within, it is the stimulus of genius,
the love of beauty , that seeksi expression in
visible form, that is the secret Of Mr. Lewis's
great fertility. Mercenary considerations could
not hold him back."

[ From the ktatlattal Review. I
fiIIREW S
It seems to have been the lot of many great
men besides Socrates to have bad the same ill
luck in their matrimonial ventures, and to
have drawn a vixen when they put in for a
wife. Albert Purer drew such a questionable
prize: Milton another; Palissy was belabored
with his wife's not unnatural reproaches when
one hy one her household goods were taken to
feed that ravenous furnace of his, and the
children cried for the bread which was sacri
ficed in the search after white enamel.. Per
haps it is part of the moral training of a certain
kind of hero that he &mild have a shrewish
wife. on- the principle of the 'grace which
comes by tribulation, and the nobleness to be
got at only under the pressure of daily chas-.
tisenient. Anyway, great men have often
married themselves to shrewish wives, and
curst tempers have been mated with patient
ones more frequently than happily.
A shrew is by no means a virago. She may
be a vixen, but she is seldom ferocious. Her
pleasure is to scold, not to strike, and she is
more likely to excite a fray than' to' join in it
when it has developed into a tight: Such as the
old masters painted her as in their day of the
highest classes, she is found now Only among
thepeople where indeed she is not infrequent
—that shrill-voiced, ferret-eyed, sharp-nosed
little woman we all know of, standing. with her
arms akimbo, ready to take tire at thefaintest
spark, and scolding at all creation. Every-vil
lage and country-town has such a woman—
the dread of the children and meeker kind of
young folks in her district, the sport of the
rude boys who like to " set her off," from a safe
distance, and the scotrof beery mea who chaff
her husband in their heavy way aboUt the
grey mare at home; but with all that she
keeps a tidy hearth, saves money, and has as.
good a name for honesty as fcir - industry.
She brings up her family after the strictest pat
tern of morality, leading thedi into the way
they should go by thumpings and-railings that
never end, and she would disown any,of them
who by chance lapsed intopribliatarisgression.;
yet she drives her husband to the ale 7 house, as
Rip Van Winkle's wife. drove hers by the,force
of her tongue alone, driving, her sons after him,
while her daughters take to showy, dresses and
illicit love-making, as their form of dratn7think
lug, to help them 'over the hard linea laid down
for them by their shrewish mother.' So that,'
in spite of herself and all her cares, the family
•of the village scold more often than not turns ,
-out badly,
simply because of, her ungovernable
temper. Every community ies one sucktnem
ber, a busy, bustling, • notable little woman
'who halves her life between toiling and railing,
working hard to keep her family reapectable,
but succeeding for the most part only in mak
ing thein miserable '
and who, when 'she dies,
dies in a chorus 'of commendation, unloved
.and unregretted by all. .
Rut, beyond this primitive type of the shrew,
- we have enough and to spare of a more refined
kind among the educated; good , women wbo, do
net flirt, nor Spend too much money on dress
or . pleasure, who are content to stay at home"
and look after their housee and Children, but
who take out in ill temper what they deny to
natiglitineSs, and think themselves justified be
cause their sins are not those Of 'the lust of the
deal' or the pride of life.'•The liouse'over which
a shrew presidea is a weariness to the. souls, of
those forced to dwell therein.' She is forever
scolding the servants when she is not changing
them;,and servants. .never ' do, well . when
they
,•tue scolded: Either it, ,tnilkes theta
moie • stoup
- than they Were . • before, or
it rouges their bad passions, and turns
en unintentional mistake , , into a wilful
misdeed. But the shrew cannot be-taught
this; nor can she make allowance for human
infirmities. 'With her those ittie'ducated maids
and men who do' her service must be free,
from all traces of original sin, and from all
the consequences of ignorance. They must
be able, too to hearnnjust rebuke without so
much as looking a remonstrance, and if they
venture to expreas.one it is sure to end Itt art
angry warning ,4 this •day month." The same
kind of thing goes on with her children.
There is no good-natured, slipping over faults,
no smoothing away of difficulties, no making
the best of the bad, and so escaping the. full
!flavor of evils which are bad enough at the hest';
she worries and drives and scolds them through
the whole of the day, then wonders that they
shrink from her, and that their very fear in
duceS falsehood. , As for her husband, she is of
so much use by her perpetual nagging that she
saves the necessity of purgatory after death by
glVing bin, the full benefit of it beforehand.
If he quietly withdraws from the unequal con
test, and leaves her to her shrewishness while
he betakes himself to his club, she then makes
capital out of her wrongs and loudly sets forth
her virtues ; how she has always done her
best to save his pocket; how she has been a
faithful wife and a careful mother, and worked
and kept house like am slave, while others,
whose husbands idolize them, spent and
racketed, and have had more than one flirta
tion such as a married woman should not
have. And yet look at - them and their bus
bands, and then see the difference with hers.
Poor shrew ! that proverb about the. dinner of
herbs and the stalled ox has never carried any
weight with her or taught her any lesson. As
with the village scold, so with a
shrew of the upper class; her children
either leave home prematurely or marry
ill. They neither see nor care for the
real love and sterling. goodness often underly
ing that bitter temper; all they know is that
mamma is always cross -and that she makes
their lives wretched. And as we are all more
or less superficial in our judgments, and swayed
by our own selfish pain or pleasure, preferring
to be ,made happy by a little less rigid morality
rather than unhappy by extra virtue,
we can
scarcely blame the children for not divining
what they do not see, and for doing their best
to escape from what they suffer. But many a
shrew has broken her heart before now for
What seems to be the ingratitude and.eoldness
of those whom her own temper only drove
from her.
Shrews are generally inclined to meanness
of habit and stinginess of dealing; neither are
they women of luxurious temperament. A
woman may be violent, passionate, jealous and
unreasonable, with blood boiling at all points,
as ardent in anger as in love, and fierce in all
her passions, but she is not a shrew. The
shrew proper is a thin-lipped, unsensuous
woman, unmercifid to " hussies," and intolerant
of self-indulgence. Tbere is something in the
very fact of being at loose ends in morality
that seems to soften people's tempera, save in
deed when the whole nature is coarsely wrong
and violent altogether; while a woman who is
absolutely impeccable on the score of discretion
often gives herself no trouble on account of
amiability. She seems to think that nothing
else is 'needed if only Mrs. Grundy is satisfied,
and tbatto be good and disagreeable is not the
high treason against virtue which the old say
ing makes it out to be. Perhaps; however, it 114
too much to expect poor humanity to be square
on all four sides and , tight in every corner.
Men rarely scold as women scold. A few do
so, certainly, all types running into each other;
but men are kept in order by the fact, of physi
cal strength, as well as by a certain instinctive
respect for each other which women have not
got. Men could not be brought to suffer from
one another what women bear from women;
hence a scolding man generally takes his wife
and daughters for his vessels of wrath, their
sex rendering them incapable of punishing him,
save by retaliation in kind,when they generally'
come the worst oft'. For in a scoldiog-match,
as everywhere else, the -heavier metal Rust
tell, and when men are shre - v, t!ley sur
pass even the shrewishness of
But though we can afford to laugh at it from
a safe distance, the fault of shrewishness is in
deed a great one. Olden times appreciated it
at rather a high figure. The cucking-stool
wherein the scold was bound before her own
door to he pelted and insulted by the mob, and
the ducking-stool in which she was ducked
and ball-drowned, were rough modes of show,
in;; dislike to au unpleasant habit. Certainly
we do not wish to see them revived, and, in
deed, we rarely meet nowadays with the same
kind or amount of - shrewishness that was once
so general in all classes, and punished so se
verely among the \ poor. Manners have so far
softened and become refined that a shrew of
the lady class,'however shrewish she may be,
has to refrain from abusive epithets under pain
of Ow; degradation ' and must confine herself
to the expression of her displeasure without
the aid of full-flavored adjectives.' Yet,
though the form may be so much softened,
ihe vice is not eradicated; and what
we want to make dear is, that
scolding is a vice like any other, difficult to
shake off when once adopted, and one that eats
Into the moral nature more deeply than people
are aware of. And the 'odd part of the busi
ness is that most shrews are unconscious of
deserving blame. The woman who rails and
fumes at every trilling annoyance that occurs,
till she makes the whole house miserable, does
not know that she is committing a sin. She
only thinks herself wronged by circumstances
or by people, and that she is exercising a
righteous indignation, and making a quite jus
tifiable protest against the same. She does not
dream that she is digging the grave of her own
happiness and esteem; but, after she has wor
ried her family to the very verge of madness,
laments her bard case in not being loved—she
who would do so much for theml So she would
in all probability; for nine times out of ten it
is her temper, not her heart, that is in fault,
and we frequently find the most uncomforta
ble shrew capable of the most heroic virtue
when the pinch comes. Yet as pinches are
only occasional, and -the ordinary monotonous
highway the place we mostly walk in, the
shrew's heroic virtues are brought into play but
rarely, while her shrewishness is a tiling of
every day, and her power—and habit—of
making people unhappy one that has no end
ing save in death. • •
Forty-first Congress—Second Session.
After the close of our report, yesterday, the
following bills were considered in the House.
Mr. Myers, from the Conference Committee on
the special naval appropriation bill, reported
that the committee had agreed to fix the 'ap
propriation at two millions. He explained that
the. bill as it passed the House .gave a million
for the Bureau of Construction and Repairs,
and half a, million for the Bureau. of Steam
Engineering. The committee had agreed to
increase the amount to a million and a half for
construction, leaving still half a :million. for
steam engineering. These sums were absO
lutely necessary to put incourso of construction
many vesiels now undergoing repairs.;Thou
