LITERATURE.
dAr EASTER OFFERLVG. By Frederik. 7
'troller. Translated from the Unpublished
Swedish Manuscript, by Mary .Howitt.
An offering from Frederika Bremer must alway s
e acceptable. Her works never fail to please, and
the
• one before us is worthy of her extended reputa-
tion. It consists of two sketches, " The Light
11(luse" and "Life in the North;" the fist is a tale,
and the second is a narrative of the events of last
Year in Denmark, with an account of the ablest
authors and great men of that country. They are
bath interesting, and perhaps their greatest charm
consists in the simple yet elevating style which so
Peculiarly distinguisties Miss Bremer's writings. To
Use her own words, "We do not merely ainu‘e our-
selves, we become better while we are amused." The
!sale spirit breathes through her works that charac-
terises Longfellow's poems—a spirit of earnestness
and resolution. The following is undoubtedly true
of
Many of the " working world" :
, " Ulna was no longer gay; she felt at times disposed
`" Weep over herself. That is the way with an infinite
!amber of wom en. They feel themselves capable of
receiving life and all things in one great and beautiful
:hale. They believed that they should advance, were
:tteending in knowledge, in love, in joy, as in an upward
34cling metamorphosis. Bat the stream of life has
arried them away to desolate regions. Their world has
b
they
oppressive. They are incased by earthly cares;
thoughts,
are caught in the meshes of petty objects, of petty
t and petty cares. They are obliged themselves
ito faros these very meshes. Then does life lose to them
elsplendour, and the mind its morning brightness and
splendour,
then is the soul dejected; then not unfre-
ctlaently does the tamper become soured, and the horizon
.??I' more contracted, ever more gloomy. In some
tw'' al moment they cast an upward glance or look around
:Id within themselves with sorrowful astonishment and
vfrslain, ' Ought this to be so? Is life nothing more?
sit for nothing else that I have existed?' And they
tiealember the yearnings of their youth. ' Dreams!'
aY they then, heave a sigh and let fall a tear, and then
again in the daily weaving and spinning until
a 'V have spun their shroud, and that is the end of their
4aY on earth.

it
is Rot merely so with women; no it is so
Zmany, many men, gifted with fervent and richly
uawed souls. Over the yard measure, the scales, over
41.(3; ledger columns, or in the pulpit, day out and day in,
i. they conscious of the past within themselves, the
m;lng, thinking, creative spirit blunted and deadened,
41 the heart buried, laid beneath the clod while it has
,I,IIY lived. They also look up sometimes and say,
-eior what purpose is this life? Why do I live?'
Bede are all souls waiting for their Pentecost. Wait-
l; souls! Could I but let you feel, as certainly as I
gow •
ie it myself, that it comes ! And the glory of its
re'itY will far exceed your most beautiful young
It„ stns."

assurance to that effect the
tefaders of this able and popular miscellany could
Feely fail to recognise that the whole of the
Leeilergtes of Eliza Cook are directed—sedulously di-
cted_to its improvement. It must, nevertheless,
a a satisfaction to her subscribers to receive that as-
'pion directly from herself, speaking to them in a
clef but comprehensive advertisement. From that
Ittmost personal communication from the editress
ti originator of the present journal, a communica-
.„
aPpended to the current "prat " just published,
ke will be perceived that not only is this state-
nt formally made as a guarantee for the continued
lei3ttth and ability of the periodical, but that explicit
taL4lations are also given that the only literary en-
jetrient she now holds is the one on her own serial
criltiulication. Her own we say advisedly, in conse-
Olee of the following declaration made iu the ad-
tsi to her readers by Miss Cook respecting the pre-
-1414 character of her relation to the present miscel
it,'"—" It is a prevalent impression," she observes,
elvulLt the periodical which bears my name is not my
tot 4 property. Believing," she continues, " that
tifYing this mistake, and giving a distinct an-
ewilricenient of my sole responsibility for, and
kellership of, the Journal, will be hailed by
gtlY with satisfaction, I have taken this
°.rtunity to state the fact, and with every hope of
al:klying a yet wider support than hitherto." That
u will assuredly be the result of such an announce-
vre ourselves are likewise well satisfied. The
pplarity already acquired by Eliza Cook, through
40 tIY genial and charming lyrics, is altogether of too
4e4le kind, of too domestic a character, not to invest
tdeclaration of this description with a peculiar and
i'‘erful interest. Hence we are persuaded that
40,4 Cook is well advised in saying that that an-
lin,eelzent " will be hailed by many with
tt.';tiction." That she should be the recipient
td tfle numerous congratulatory letters alluded
let 'll. her advertisthent can be no mat-
te.° surprise to those who have watched with
lier'Peful and scrutinizing attention the progress of
tit. Periodical and its rapid and continuous develop-
vtit
in power and excellence. Thirteen months'

Nttoent of those bright gifts and vigorous energies
14Which she has been endowed for the public en-
