New Publication!*.
Amid the unusual aotlvlty in the book-trade this
lesson, Ticknfir Sc ifelde, the well-known Boaton
publishers, are not behind any of ti cir competitors.
The books iaauod by.thin house are beautifully got
up, and; a* large, aa their list has grown, there are
few works In it which have not been successful, be-'
cause they deserved to succeed,
A few days ago, we nottoed Longfellow’s new
poems (‘'Tales of a Wayside Inn”), among which are
some of his best productions—alwayß excepting
“The Song of Hiawatha,” which is the epio of
America, relating the legends of her aborigines.
Wehave before us another volume of poetry,also
by a New England man:—“ln War Time, and
other Tjmca,” by John Greenleaf Whittier, the
Quaker poet. It 1b not a very large volume, but it
contains much that-Is thoughtful, poetical, and pa
triotic. Of thirteen ljrlcs,\“ln War Time,” we
would select the following as very good: “To
Englishmen,” “Astrea at the- Oapitol,” “The
Proclamation,” and the noble narrative en
titled “Barbara Frlotshle,”—the last does honor
'to Stonewall Jackson, a brave though mis
taken man. Among the Home Ballads, we
would ■ point' out “ Oobler Eeesar’s ; yislon,”
and “The Countess j” and every one of the Occa
sional Poems is very good. Mr. Whittier sings
bravely of the war, and itß great issues. Besides,
of all American writers, he la the poet of nature.
He has closely observed'her stall seasons,-under
each varying aspect, and none has so well described
her. When speaking of the country, his poetry is
painting. One prevailing fault in hie versification—
a tendenoy to make bad rhymes—he does not ex
hibit, in this volume, so much as on previous occa
sions. But ho has not wholly corrected it. We
cannot accept such rhymes as cannon and pennon,
oath and south, human and common, joined and behind,
and eo on. Is this carelessness, or is it an Inherent
deficiency in distinguishing the delicacies of Bound]
In rhymed poems there should not be found bad
rhymes, except when the author evidently has a
purpose in making an apparent defioluscy.
“Meditations on Life and its Religious Duties,”
translated from the German by Frederica Rowan, is
a book which we find vis a. vis with ‘“The Thoughts
of the Emperor M (aTum,) Aurelius Antoninus,”
translated by George Long. It will be not profit-,
less for the reader to compare the religious thoughts
of the-Ohiistian with the philosophy of the Roman,
These writers speak of the soul, but Dr. I. Ray, in
his “ Mcdioal Hy giene,” treats almost exclusively
of thB body, upon the health of which depends the
strength of the human.mind. The author treats of
Medical Hygiene uuder five heads: Ac affected by
Cerebral Conditions; by Physical Influences; bp
Mental Conditions and Influences; by the Practices
of the Times, and by Tendency to Disease. Fresh
air, exercise, avoidance of over-labor for the brain,
‘ and, above all, temperance In eating-ahfl drinking,
have a very strong advocate in Vr. Ray. His.book.
Indeed, is a praetipal essay upon modem modes of
life, aid truly instructive and readable we have
found it.
German literature is largely becoming naturalized
among ut—partly through translations. Some
months ago, Tick nor Sc Fields published a tranala
lion by O. T. Brooks, of Jean Paul Richter’s
“Titan,’’ •
lll fJ.!. ! .iOii '(trsnalator’B n nme not Btated); and a new
edition of Ms “ Flower, Fruit, and Thorn Pieces i
or, the Married Life, Death, and Wedding of the
Advocate of the Poor, Firmian Stanislaus Sie
benkiis,” This translation is by E. H. Noel, and
_ it ia BUttably prefaced by a biographical sketch of
Jean Paul, taken from Carlyle’s well-known article
upon him, in the Foreign Revitw, In 1830, which
must not be confounded with a previous article on
the same subject, in the Edinburgh Review, from the
name pen three years before. Mr. Noel’s transla
tion first appeared many years ago. He has exe-'
ented it surprisingly well, considering that Carlyle,
in his book of Ger man Romance, affirms that “Rich
ter’s style may be pronounced the most untranslata"
ble, not in German only, butinsnyothermodernllte
rature." In fact, the adventures of Siebenkka are
more attractive to the many than the transcendental
ism of “Titan,” though the latter be the better
book, perhaps.
It may be remembered that the volume of funereal
poetry, “In Memoriara,” was written by Tennyson
after he had lost the Iriend of hie youth, who was to
have become hie sister's hußband. This young man,
Arthur Henry Hallam, eon of Hallam the historian,
died in his twenty-third J ear, and his literar y “Be
mains in Prose and Verso,” showthat, had he lived,
he probably would have been a shining light in
British literature. The volume contains memoirs
of young Hallam and of his brother, who also died
young, and a variety of his compositions, original
andtianslated, nearly all of whioh indioate great
ability as well as varied knowledge. One fragment
in blank verse, (pp. 80-86,) is dated 1820. If this
date be correct, Arthur Hallam may be accounted a
more precocious poet than even Ohatterton. Inde
pendent'of references in that poem to travel in Italy,
and talk about It and about Wordsworth with “ a
dear companion” of the gentler sex, it is impossible
that a boy of eleven, which Hallam was in IS-20, could
have written these lines. He visited Italy in 1827-28,
and the poem In question cannot be earlier than the
* latter date. This would make him seventeen, and
few persons have ever written half so well at that
age—certainly neither Byron nor Moore,whose earlv
efforts are generally feeble and diffuse.
A volume of essays, entitled “ Excursions,” by
the late Henry David Thoreau, chiefly collected from
the Atlantic Monthly, is remarkable for the fact that
the biographical sketoh of the-author, by K. W.
Emerson, throws'the rest of the book into the
shade; it is one of Emerson’s beßt studies. Mr.
Thoreau, though an eccentric, had considerable
ability, and few writers have described nature with
such vivid truth. Hia “Walk to Wachusett,”
“ The Succession of Forest Trees,” and “Autumnal
Tints,” are as much tinted and oolored as if the au*
l,hor had Eet his palette, and used a pencil instead of
the pen.

Holmes comes into' his hands 1 Here we have

School Reform.
Philadelphia, Dec. 2,1863.
'Co the Editor qf The Press:
j Sib : Your truly sensible article, the other day, in
advocacy of the adoption of the “one-session” sys
tem for oiir public schools, demands the hearty as
sent of eveiy studious observer and admirerof that
great national institution; the increased beneflclftl
results flowing from the adoption of such a Bystem
seem to the writer to be so obvious soarcely to
require presentation to the reflecting, mind. Dr.
Winehip, who has, I believe, become 11 standard au.
thorlty” on “Muscle,” states that when he limited
his practice to a very short period (I think half an
hour) .each day, he gained strength and development
much more rapidly than when Btrainingand taxing
his body for hours upon parallels and perpendicu
lars. The same general, laws of development and
contraction that govern the physical govern also'
the mental: tiie mimi .ua «.oji na tnc Doily, for the
maintenance of its natural vigor, must haveits time
for reoreatlon, its time for labor, and itß time Tor re
pose; where one or the other of these transgresses
upon or absorbs the time of the other, a law is vio
lated, and nature" admits or no plea or estoppel in
hindrance of the enforcement of her penalties.
One of the principal objections offered I believe tc
the “one aeasion-aday ” system "is the fact that it
will “unloose’? the thousands of sohool children,
and send them into the publio streets, where it is al
leged their noise will be intolerable. This objection
must needs proceed from age-advanced single ladies
and gents, better known as old maids and bachelors,
and .should have n® weight in the regulation of an
institution which they do not seem inclined practi
cally to encourage. -Children must play, will play,
and ought to play, The only question iB, shall they
be allowed to reoreate In day time when they oan
see, or at night when their stray balls:are liable to
be stopped in their aerial progress by somebody’s eye,.
forcing the sublime subject of astronomy into sud.
den prominence; oi it may be you are brought to a
premature halt by an excitable sensation in the
nasal organ, implicating .the heavy.end of .a misdl
rected shinney, suggesting the uuoharitable wiah
that some two-aeislootte controller hag been your
substitute just then, in order that he might “see it”
in the same light that it struck youl One session a
day, whioh should be limited to four hours, wouid
enable ihe children to both play and study bv day
light, thereby preserving their eyeß from the iniu
rious effects of night study; would also afford them
opportunities to assist their parents in running er
randß, etc., many of whom can illy afford to spare
the servloes of their children the entire day as at
present required to, do. Would not the adoption of
the proposed System tend also to elevate the stand
ard of morality amongst the pupils by lessening the
temptations to truant-playing? Eet us have” one
session, moreplay, and less broken-down constitu
tions and impaired eygsight, and future drafts for
the sustenance of the honor of the Bepubllc “will
not be rendered a pulltty by “exempt” victims of
dose study and confinement.
Respectfully, &c.,
The Tax on Whisky.
To the Editor of Tke Press:
■ Sib: The proposition to tax native whisky 60
cents* gallon, instead of 20 oents. will meet with
the cordial approbation of all vendors', retail as well
as wholesale, except those who .sell:‘<three-cent
drinks,”' warranted to kill-at a hundred paces.
Whisky is not a necessary. Druggists and perfu
mere truly say that they, must use it in their prepa
rations ; perhaps so, but as medicine and perfumery
-yield great profits, their manufacturers can afford
to pay an increased duty upon the whisky,’ ithich
supplies them with alcohol. Compare the tax on
ftoswwade spirit* here, with the tan on the same
article in England. Here, it Is now 20 oents a gallon,
and there It Is $2 a gallon. Instead of 00 oents, now
spoken of, the duty upon American spirits above
proof should be at least $1 a gallon. This may
raise so large a i evenue that the galling duties upon
necessaries, which it takes an army of officials to
collect, might be dispensed with. So thinks
ONE IN THE TRADE.
Edwin Forrest as Hamlet,
To the Editor of The Press .
Sir.: Of all Shakspeare’s compositions..from its
first appearance down to the present time, this play
haß been the moat universally popular. It Is no
ICBBthe crowningtriumph of. the mighty genius of
Edwin Forrest. Tho palpable beauties of the play
of “Hamlet” are visible to evory mind; they are
those of a recondite nature, whioh demand the acute
study, the unswerving and indefatigable devotion, of
years to unfold.
Edwin Forrest opens to us a deeper, bolder, sub
limer view of. the character of Hamlet than* auy
other living aotor. He develops the strangely min
gled nature of the sad and sensitive Dane with a
Eower to subtle that we not only feel, but think with
im. With the compelling power of his great art,
yet, at the same time, with iofluite artistic delicacy,
he makes us comprehend the so<often vague and
doubtful scenes of the text—the “ antic disposition,”
all the wild vagaries of Hamlet's assumed madaess,
the vacillations of his over sensitive mind; andbe
•neath the melancholy moroseness of tho broken
hearted Prince we behold the great heart throbbing,
writhing, under the pressure of a terrible secret,
and struggling against the embraces of inexorable
fate, like a second Lascoon. Hiß lighter scenes are
markc d by a graceful pleasantry which no aotor can
assume so well as himself,' and nothing oan be finer
than the contrast they offer to tho impassioned re
monstrance and fiery indignation of the chamber
scene, and the solemn grandeur of the solilotiuies.
» In recalling the stilted mannerisms, the far-fetched
readings, the forced conceits, the extravagant bom
bast, and ludicrouß affectation, of some of our Haul'
lets, we are led to exclaim—
“ Were Sh&kepeare now to rise.
How would the poet *tare with wild surprise,
And rack his brains with many a pondrous note.
To find the meaning out of whfxt tie torote! ”
' Jam, sir, very truly youra,

The Agricultural Society.—-An In
teresting Discussion—Statb :, 6f the Crops.-
Yesterday morning the Philadelphia Society for
promoting Agriculture, held a regular stated meet
ing, at their rooms on Walnut street, Craig Biddle,
Etq.j president, in the chair. A photographic repre
sentation was presented to the Society of the
Agricultural College, near Bellefonte. This institu
tion owns 400 acres of land, and the achoolxoan
comfortably accommodate 400 pupils.
Among other donations was a large specimen of
gypsum, from which piaster for manuring purposes
is obtained. It was stated, in the course of a slight
discussion as to the merits of plaster as a manure,'
that the old deeds of Lancaster county forbade the
use of plaster, on the ground that it exhausted the
soil, and the crops were diminished. The farmers of
that county, as thoae of other counties, have grown
more intelligent since, and adopt plaster as a good
manure. Another member remarked that a certain
establishment in this city told plastex mi-KPfi with-
*-*rto-%u:ixTuife invariably rots
manure. ;
Dr. Kennedy said that the pure plaster would
not-rot manure, but would be highly beneficial to
the soil. If the soil be mixed with ammonia de
composition follows.
Mr, Biddle remarked that the value of plaster as
a manure was certainly an important one, and should
receive the attention of the society in the form of an
essay from one of its members.
Dr, Kennedy exhibited two photograph pictures,
taken in thiß city, of a cow and ahorse. The sub
ject of photographing animals is beginning to at
tract attention, and its introduction cannot but be
favorable. Many growers of cattle have had their
animals painted by artists, who, to please, have
added charms which did not exist.
Nominations for officers for Ihe ensuing year were
made, Mr. John McGowan nominated the present
officers, as follows:
President—Craig Biddle.,
Vice Presidents—Charles W. Harrison,' Charles
Kelly.
Corresponding Secretary—Sidney G. Fisher.
Eecordjng Secretary—Alfred B. Kennedy.

[Before Hr. AidermanWhite. ]
Jolw Smith.
Among the motley,groups arraigned yesterday,
before the polioe magistrate of the. Fifth ward, was
ad Individual hatlefls and shoeless, He was picked
up in the street by an officer. The prisoner was a
bad imitation of humanity. Rum and dissipation
of various kinds had done their work. This poor
miserable fellow*creature, to hide his own shame
from well-to-do relatives, gave the convenient name
of John Smith.
Now, the plain name of John Smith, although it
does not suggest Aristocracy, yet, nevertheless, it is
the legal cognomen of many good men in our city,
and it is not to be “ sneezed at.” Wc have thoname
of John Smith upon honorable records in plain
English language. It 1b also inscribed upon the roll
of fame in various countries, and, therefore, in vari
ous languages. Thus, in Latin, it ia Johannus
Smlthus; the Italian smooths it off into Giovanni
Smithi; the Spaniards render It Juan Smiths ; the
Dutchmanadoptß it as Hans Schmidt; the French
fatten it out into Jean Smeet; the Russian sneezes,
and barks Jonloff Smittoski. When John Smith
gets into the tea trade at Canton, ho becomes Joben
bhimmit; if he olambers about Mount Heqla, the
Icelanders say he is Jahne Smithson; if he ''trades
among the Tuscaroraa he becomes Ton Q,ua Smittia;
in Poland, as Ivan Sohmittiweislii; should he wan
der among the Welsh mountains, they talk of Jlhoa
Schmidd; when he goes to Mexico, he is booked as
Jontli F’Smittig; if, of classic turn, he lingers
among Greek ruins, he turns to lon Smikton; and
fc ia Turkey he is utterly disguised as Yoe See,
Now, why it iB that so honorable a high-sounding
name should be chosen by such repulsive beings as
he who was arraigned as stated above, is a problem
that we leave others to solve. Certain it is. if an
individual is ashamed of his own conduot, he ought
to be ashamed of passing himself off as a bona fide
member of the great Smith family.
