NEW EIIIBLICATIONS. • 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 ume is for sale by Porter & Coates. 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."

CAZE GAL4PCILY AT TILE 1.;013f legaey left to. the LOnire , ty: 'the late M. hae beer( ' rectitett '.hy Count Nienwerkeike, who is .now preparing the Salle' des Ancierp Etats, lately devoted to.tbe pottery of.the Canipana Galieryildr, reception of. the collection, andtas +continued' 71i. Thtilliel 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 the large lecture-room of the University MuseuM, on Tuesdays, at 2 o'clock, beginning on the 15th inst. The subjects will be (1) "The ,Relation of Art to Religion;" (2), Feb. 22, "The Relation of Art to Morals;" (3). March 1, " The relation of Art to Use ;" (4), March 8, " Line ;" (5), March 15, "Light," and (6), March 22, " Color."—Athemenns. —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." .—Alandsome album is being published in Florence, containing photographic reprodue-: firms of the writing °Malian artists from the twelfth to the seventeenth centuries.

[ 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 sands 'of men 'whose wbrk was noW'sspetided at the various yards would again have"employ ment.
