He must constantly be at work, if he mean to preserve his popularity. We get accustomed to re ceive instalments of his thoughts, in book form, and become dissatisfied when he ceases to write or allows the intervals between his works to be too long. °LIVED WENDELL HOLMES has just completed a The Professor at the Breakfast Table," which is a continuation of the far-famed 4' Autocrat." We were ter. ribly afraid that we were not going to have any more of Honiras's prose, which is as good as his poetry—perhaps better. "There," thought we, as an early copy of the Atlantic Monthly reached us, a few days ago, through the kind attention of Mr. T. B. Pees, the bookseller in Chestnut street, "there'd one comfbrt gone! It used to be so pleasant to take the paper knife, and cut into the pages whereupon Dr. HotatEs's racy and shrewd thoughts were impressed. But he has married off that pretty Iris, whom we bad learned to like al midst as well as the Aiitdcrat's school-ma'am, and there's an end of the Professor." Just then, we glanced at the table of contents in this January number of the Atlantic Monthly, (a capital number it is, too,) and " The Pro fessor's Story" caught our view. We turned to the story, and there, sure enough, are the opening chapters of a novel by House. Capital chapters they are, too, and hold out the promise of a vigorous and interesting work of fiction, in whieh Hew England charac ter and SE*L!) , *lll be fAirlY and felicitously dealt With. Fortunately, this January number, containing the commencement 9r ,, Tho Profes sor's Story," also begins a new volume of the Metsl.kly, , which, we are glad to per ceive, has already boon improved since it be came the property of TrOgson & FIELDS. By the way, the history' of " Thq Autocrat of the BreakfaseTable" is very curious. Tho private history of almost every book, known only by Its writer, has some point of Interest. In November, 1831, and February, 1882, Dr. HOLMES published two articles called "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table," in the New England Magazine. It is to be presumed that they were not very successlbl—becanso the series was not continued. Two years ago, when the Atlantic Monthly was, commenced, Dr. lloLitta was asked to write for it, and has told us that it the recollection of those crude products of his uncombed' literary boyhood suggested the thought that it would be a cu. rious %experiment to Shake the same bough again, and see if the ripe fruit were better or worse than tho early windfalls." Thus arose ono of the most pleasant and readable of re cent books, written in downright good Eng. lisii, and in a natural style; which is easy, without being too familiar—a style which has more vigor than InviNo's. 'Wd have a theory, 'which is not likely to - And many believers, that WASIIINCIIVN with the elaborate polish of his Sketch Book, is whfch ho mingled the quiet humor of Gor.o. writ with the placid grace of Annisort, ac tually checked American literature, for a time. That is, his style, which was very popular, became the standard in this country, and our writers were afraid of writing vigorous prose, because Mr. Invisa wrote so very smoothly. In his later works, Invina's style considera bly changed. He wrote With more boldness, and his writing was thereby greatly improved. The, Niqerieal Magazine (a New . tcirk pa idodical. pt greli,Melit) Announces an extra, issue on New Year's day, especially devoted to lama, containing an interesting account of him and his works, original letters, anec dotes, some of his early sketches, a portrait, and a page of his manuscript fac-similied. The last extra of the Mount Vernon Record has a good portrait of favor; with a critical analyzation of his literary and personal cha racter, and a far-simile of the letter which, under date of the 19th of last February, en closed a check of five hundred dollars as his princely subscription to the Mount Vernon Fund Association. EMERSON BENNETT, of this city, has just published the first number of a Dollar Monthly, bearing his own name. He is a successful writer of fiction, and has the laborious business habits which the (Mice of editor demands. Tho best article in this number Is the cent mancoment of a new tale, by Mr. BENNETT, called "The Mountain Lily." This magazine is neatly illustrated. The story " How I got my Wife," printed hero without a syllable of acknowledgment, has been " conveyed " from the London periodical called Once a Week. This appropriation system, which is the bane of American literary journals, cannot be too strongly denounced. By the rime these lines are under the eyes of our readers, the Cor»hill Megasine;pub lished by Surru, Ezeun, & CouPasv, of Lon don, will be in the hands of numerous dent tens of Cockaigne. The regular London Magazines have become dreadfully dull. Ac tually, the old Gentleman's is the best of them. Fritter is steady and somewhat stupid, and the New Mont/ay, Beaffey's, arid dlinstrorth's call owned and edited by one gentleman) are almost unreadable. What an excitement, then, when it was told that THAUKRRAY was about conducting anew shilling monthly! lie is the very man to do it well. Rumor declares almost incredible things about his remunera tion. One account, which is generally ac cepted as correct, has it that Mr. THACBE• RAY'S salary will be ten thousand dollars a year, and that ho will also publish a new serial story in the Magazine, for which, in two years, he is to receive thirty thousand dollars extra. flow old SAM JOHNSON would have wondered at such magnificent remuneration as this It is gratifying to notice the liberal man ner in which Old England acknowledges the literary achievements of Young America. In the December number of Blackwood's" Afaga twentpone pages aro devoted to an elaborate review Of WOLLY'D " History of the Dutch Republic," one of the most complete works this age has produced.

HAZARD, Jr., Chestnut street. -E7'The recent death at San Francisco of Eldridge F. Paige, formerly a brilliant writer for the New York press, and the author of the famous Pa tent Sermon by Dow, Jr.," was under the mast miserable circumstances imaginable. When a police officer, hearing that a man was dying in his poverty-stricken quarters arrived in the room, ho found a scene too indecent for description. A prostitute bad Just closed his eyes and mouth for the last time. The bed was innocent of linen of any kind, and was saturated with water. The floor was indoseribably Sithy, and the walls dank with moisture and filled with fungi. On the table stood two tin plates that had proba bly been used for some time, and never oleaned from the moment they were first soiled ; those con tained the remnants of his last sapper. In a cor ner of the room was a small keg of pickled her rings, the maggots In which were far more nume rous than the fish, and almost rivalled them In alio. On a small table, near his bed, were two bottles containing liquor—the nurse of his latter life, and undoubted cause of his death. His feet were routing on the foot-board of his loathsome dot, and no portion of his clothing had been re moved, except hie bat. far It is stated that the publication of the de• bates in Congress, in the Southern press, has cre ated a great demand for the Helper book, which can only be supplied through the Southern mem bers, and under cover of their own franks, at the postmasters would seize them, The members con sider it a great bore. TWO CENTS. f Page's Venus. *e have received several communications respecting' this celebrated work, discussing pre;and con the propriety of exhibiting nude pictures, and as we have no space for their insertion, we must content ourselves with a gkneral response to the most important points suggested by the somewhat burdensome masa oft' Art correspondence which is before ns. An atribilious citizen sends us a long vitu pexrive epistle condemning the picture and its nfluences in the most unmeasured terms. He,signs himself "A Friend," and states that he is a constant reader. 'We feel bound to remark that there is nothing I; his contra:mica tisuggestive of friendship, and if he be, in deed, a eonstantreader of this journal, we can only say that it seems to have labored in vain, in his case, to promote enlightenment, tolera tioix, and the other Christian virtnes. Hie style is exceedingly declamatory and ingacious. I Reoulogites the harbirity of Cromwell's' fol lowers in destroying the 'sculpture and bar re wbieb'adorned the churches of the period; styling such works idolatrous, and deeming them an' offence to the two religion.

'We can only say in return, that we believe in 'art ; in the divinity of its influences; we honor him who adds •to - the - May,' teal • s Or a Beautiful a new creation.

We see no reason why the same general rule should not apply to prt. Tlie art of a thousand ' years has taught its highest and most spiritual lessons' through the agency of the nude human' fortis. Apelles, Campaspe, Careva, and Powers; Michael Angelo, Raphael,' Titian, anc 'Page, have accomplished their highest efforts through its employment. 'Blot out of existence 'all that the squeamish; the Phail safe.al, and thei ignorant miglit object to, and th 4 art of the world would •lie like that to which Dr. ROA likened the' science of Medi cide--'-‘4 A roofless temple, 'without' walls or he* greater part of the other comrennica thins proceed in a more enlightened strain. General surprise is evinced by the writers that any question of the purity of the pictunishould ever have bean raised. A good deal of 'enthu siasm is expressed in regard to its color, and seine criticisms offered In reference to irnma tefial details. The left-baud cherub, for ex ample, is singled 'out by several as a point of asPault. He is averred by one of the writers (ah artist, probably, as his manuscript Is al most undecipherable) to possess but a single leg, and that an impractlcable one. We are not prepared to contest this point, but only suggest that Infancy is elastic and its involute attitudes frequently tremble upon the edge of the impossible, a fact of which our correspon dent may readily assure himself by referring to any parent of hilaequaintance. And we think that Mr. Page's opportunitlla of studying these have been far more comprehensive and better exiiployed than those of his critic. The tendency of modern art has been almost exclusively to Realism. The works of Land seer, Bonheur, Couture, and Diaz, (we include contemporaries of lesser fame,) are destitute o any higher significatice than that which is of the earth, earthy. We believe it will be readlly.admitted that there is a higher art lan guage than it is possible' to express in the pOtrayal of horses, or dogs, or aldermen, or even battle-fields, such as Vernet gives us. If so, such eilbrts as this of Mr. Page are entitled to especial honor as bringing' baek to up an echo of the,. lost luggage of•the classic age of art: - Her aro we,perifiqed too severely to judge of the means by which this is accom plished., Granted that there is no longer in the world a belief in the olden mythology, and that consequently Venus is out of date. The picture is none 'the less beautiful; none the less suggestive of the possibility of reaching the perfection •to which art attained in its golden age. It might, with a trifling change of accessories, be called Eve, or Astarte, without any impropriety of nomenclature. Its beauty and Its felicity as a picture are wholly independent of the trivial mythologi cal associations which cluster about the sub ject. Ono of the most accomplished art scholars of Europe, writing in the Literary ilcattte, of London, says of this work: "Though wholly undraped, there is nothing that suggests, on the part rifler who is thus represented, the consciousness of nudity. This is a rare quality in picture or statue. Modern artier) have seldom so represented the undraped female form as to pre serve this perfect unconsciousness. Even thelater of the great Greek sculptors, toeing sight of the di , vinity, gave to Aphrodite a eonscioas womanly shame—es when they portrayed her enterifig . or quitting the bad.. But tbat highest purity, among from perfect uncqnsoiousness, is the last excellence in point of sentiment, feeling., and expression, which the artist can reach, and it is one which. salt seems to as, Mr. Page has attained. The thought of Im purity would assuredly never mu the mind of any one looking at this picture. "What we first look for In a work of this kind —a trot poetic conception of the subject—the painter of this picture hes, we think, evidently formed in his own mind, and to a great extent realised on his canvas. Ile has told his story as lucidly as on canvas such a story could be told. You feel that the conception has been fairly thought out, anti earnestly and honestly rendered. The Venus is an exquisite embodiment of the ideal of beautiful womanhood—not, perhape, attaining the elevation of the old Greek divinity, but ap proaching towards it, The drawing and modeling of the figure are very admirable. The form is full and palpitating, without being voluptuous, and the position is singularly graceful. So entirely is Venus the picture, that the other parts are hardly thought of. But the two Cuspids are capitally drawn and painted,—light, buoyant, mirthful, and full of rosy life; though foreshortened in the bold est manner, in no way sailing oir attention from the principal figure to themselves. "The tune of the picture is low but rich, the flesh glowing with that inner light which is so de lightful in the flesh of Titian's women—whom it Is easy to see have bean the glass in which Mr. Page has seen nature oftenest refleeted. But with the subdued richness of the flesh-tints every other part is kept In admirable harmony: the painter trust ing, like all true colorists, to minute portions of un broken color, light and dark, to clear up and give vigor to the prevalent demitints. The handling is largo and free, yet firm: and the liquid touch and full impasto tell of the influence of long study of VeLlbtian painting—the truest painting, as paint ing, the world has yet seen. " The picture is ono which In these days few men would venture on, fewer so suocessfully accent. push, and the effort and the enema deserve ample recognition America has sent us the original painter of imaginative art we have long wished to see her produce, and we have no desire to qualify the welcome ho is so fairly entitled to." This is high eulogy, but it has the advan tage of being true. The recognition of Mr. Page as one of the greatest painters of the time is handsome, because complete. The artists of Europe did themselves credit by the frank readiness with which they recognised the genius of Powers and Chapman, Craw ford and Rothermel, Church and Page. It is only inferior or doubtful talent which hesi tates to credit others with the reputation which is their due. True merit exhibits alacrity in acknowledging the genius of others. Tho picture will remain in Philadelphiatait a short time, and those who are interested in the progress which American Art is making will not fail to pay It a visit. c"7" The State of Arkansas has enacted a very stringent measure against free negroes, which will go into effect the lot of January.

Ilraarinones.—When Dresden was taken in 1767, by the Prussians,the immense wardrobe of Count Bruhi, the Salon Minister; contained amongst other articles, 1200 wigs, 300 pairs of boots, and 800 pairs of velvet breeches, which the Ring of Prussia is reported to have ordered to be divided among his guards. This maniac of extravagance had a different habit, with its appending gold stick, watch and snuff-box., for every day in the month, and, test he should be so unfortunate as to appear in the costume of the day or week before, a regular register of his wardrobe made its daily appearance at his table, the dresses being painted in minia tore In a book. The rooms of his palace were adorned with the most costly clocks, statues and pictures; and even the locks of the doors were inlaid with gold. Four servants were i employed in the charge of his wardrobe, which was shown to strangers as a curiosity. The Empress Elizabeth of Russia; whose beauty was equalled by her coquetry, was co fond of dress, that her ministers, when they wished to set aside any project submitted to her, needed only to bribe her dress-maker to spoil a new robe. The eatalogne of her ward robe filled a thiek quarto volume. Of the then fiphionable mantles, 7,000 were found in it sr tor her death, according to Borisof, who saw this catalogue. MORAL TEMPERANC£.—Temperance socie ties against physical indulgence are very nu merous and certainly useful; but the word is so need that it seems to be almost restricted, in Its reference, to spirituous or fermented li quors. Moral temperance is, perhaps, an ob ject of less personal and public care. He who scrupulously abstains from brandy or wine Will nevertheless give way to anger, spite, petulence, envy, arrogance, pride, intolerance. In every respect, except the one, be may not practise the least self-denial, nor consult the comfort, happiness, rights, and wants of those over whom he has control, or with whom he is I connected. He may be passionate and pro scriptive, egotistical and ambitions, sour and harsh, avaricious and unjust, all the time he so tealously preaches abstinence, and binds him self and others to repudiate the bottle. We 4hould be glad to bear of the formation of so cieties for the observance and recommends lion of moral temperance—tor mutual pledges 1 irith regard to the social and domestic virtues ,--to the government and softening of our mo ral nature. It Is nearly as bad to thrust against he lips of others it the cup of bitterness," as it s good to dash away the cup of whiskey. It s not much worse to disorder the head with drink, than to neglect the faults and vices of the spirit. SUPERSTITIOX IN ASYSSII:Lk.-111. Pearce, in his "Residence in ,lbyssinia," says : I Cannot help adverting to a practice which is not unfrequent, but which might appear fain. ions to any one who has not witnessed it. (When a woman has had one, two or more chil dren, and they have all died, she will, in hopes saving the life of another just born, cut oft ia piece from the tip of the left ear, roll it up in a piece of bread, and swallow it ; and others will keep one side of the head shaved until the child is grown up. For some time I was at a loss to conjecture the reason why a n ii m her of grown people of my acquaintance h a d one ear cut; and when told the truth, I c ou ld .scarcely believe it until I went into the h ouse of a neighbor, though contrary to the cust om , ,purposely to see the operation. An old wo man cut off the tip of the ear, and put it into a kind of victuals called sherro, when the mother of the Mott opened her mouth to receive it, and swallowed it, pronouncing the wools, "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."
