Books and Authors.
A good author is public property. 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.

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

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

-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

postmasters would seize them, The members con

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. '
It is dliScultto answer 'proposltionti of this i
radical and iconoclastic sort. '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. 'We4afivii that, to the pure
all ( things ate pure, and have nolorilapathy
vekitever with the prejudices
,irlitch 'spring
either from an imperfect nature oi;froin a
warped and distorted edneatiOn. • ' ' • '
In leaf, in morals, and in society, precedent
is a governing influence. 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.

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

(When a woman has had one, two or more chil

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
