rHE Rivals OF ESTE, and other PoEMs-By james u.
Brooks and Mary Z. Brooks New York; 1872
Among the popular writer's of the day, few
have held a more conspiou-~- s'ation in public
opirion, than the authors Of this volume But
public opinion must not always be taken as the
true criterion Of taste or talent. II is often as
much mised and blinded IN its judgment as are
individuals.
We will speak first of Mas. Books, whose
puems are placed at the commencement, Of the
volume.
During the present century, several " schools
Of poetry" have arisen-as different in their
characteristics, as they have been unbeu' fetal
in their effects. First we had the Della Crus-
can, with all it's host of puny metaphor, and
sickly sentiment writer's. This could not fail
of having a temporary success; for, Toasted as
the British public had been on The wholesome
Joints and racy wines served up TO them by the
poets Of the eighteenth century, they wished
for novelty, and soon The rich ragCuts and Ga
yored spices, used by the Della Crusca ans, came
into favor. This had short>lived existence;
although we have some drops Of is blood
cours sing through the veins of the present god
Of poetry. pardon the unaptness of our meta
phor.) Then sprung up The 3yronic school,
cf which il is unnecessary 10 say much here
This had an innumera5le number OF So'aries;
bu, has now, in some measure, dsgenerated
from its original popularity.
To pass over all intervening writers, let US
come at once to our own time. The style OF
wiring most in vogue at present, is COM
pound Of he wors, imagery Of the Byronic
school, the sickly and romantic sentiment, OF
the Della Cruscan, and the aft, cted simplicity
and true verbosiy Of The Lake school. Among
its mos, succ essful followers stand Mrs Hemans,
LEI, and the rest Of the class Of Souvenier
writers in England; and in this country, Mrs.
Sipourney, Mrs. Hale, and Mrs. Brooks. Its
yo,aries are confined chiefly TO the female sex;
and in no age have the writings OF women eli
cited SO much applause, and called tor such adj

ORIGINAL POETRY.

sEFLEcTIoNs ON THE DEATH OF MRS. O.
She is not lost tous /; for in our hearts
Her memory and her image still survive
In fadeless beauty. have sat and mused aiohe
When darkness veil'd me from external things,
NV soul has turn'd, for one enhancing moment,
From the attachm. nts which still bind to earth,
To friendships and affections, which have felt
The holy and unchangng seal of death,
To times and feelings mingled with the past.
And thou, best shade hast mingled with the retro
spect,
Clad in that earthly garb Of which
My sensual vision cannot yet disrobe thee,
Tho not with those who shared with me the spring OF
life
When we were conscious only Of delight
When care and sorrow IL we felt their touch,
Left an impression on our hearts as slight
As the moist traces an infants cheek
Who slumbers mid its weeping.
I knew thee but few short fleeing months,
When anxious love had mark'i thy brow with care,
As clouds sometimes o'ershade the placid moon;
Yet with thy gentle artlessness OF mlen
There was true deep feeling in thy soul
Which twiued selfaround the unconscious heart.
But vet we will not weep for thee, tho in this earthly
garden
No, flower surpassed thee in thy purity
Although the worlds communicating touch had passd
thee by,
And vanity thou knew not but by name.
We will not weep for thee, tho from the frail
And Heeting things oftime thou vast so early rven'
The parent flower from the young bud,
rha, would have blossom'd farer by thy side,
Mstur'd and nurtur'd BY maternal care.
We will not sorrow Ger thy silent tomb,
Tho dust to dust" be traced upon The sod
Religion whispers that We may not weep
She b ds US view thy spiri, in its fight;
She points US to mansion of repose,
A saviour's psrdoning smile, bow OF hope
To cheer and bless US mid our sorrowinS here
Spring flowers may breathe their fragrance Ger thy
grave,
Or Autumn scatter there her wither'd leaves;
There Summers breeze may blow, or Winters blast
Unheeded all by thee, for thou art safe
But for ourselves, be Natures tribute given,
For tears of sweet submission shall be biest,
And signs of pentence be heard in Heaven.

All life and radiance and smiles.
The charmed rec ord Of thy bliss.
Sure fettered hand was feaity
We cannot, however, refrain from giving an
extract, which we consider one OF the finest pas
sages in the PORN:
Few were the idols of his breast,
And shrined forever there to rest
Few, rather say to one, was gwen
Worship that migh. have challenged heaven F;
MANY year had dsrkly flown,
Since sorrow made that heart its own;
And in its bitterness concealed,
The first wild storm had passed awsy,
But traces, deeply wrought revealed
How de soating was its sway
Twas not the landscape tempest swept,
Where beauty in each ruin slept
Till sunbeam, and the summer rain,
Should bid it all rebloom agsin
But one wide dcsolatei waste,
Wherein no living, lonely thing,
Even tho withered. might be traced,
In promise of Il second spring
Fit dwelling for the scorpion
Revenge, to breathe and riot on
Fit, while the deep and deadly sting
Of baffled love was fostering.

We have mentioned Mrs Hemans, Mrs

not ret,acI. W. wish % b. understood: there
is strong vein Of poetry often met with in The
writings of Mrs. Heman., and frequently i'll
those Of Mrs. Brooks; but then there is d puny
Mandy pamby kind of phrase luey in which it
is often clothed, thai engenders feeling of
contempt for the authors. Mrs. Hemans
has written some good poetry; but ten times
more trash: she has been rated much above
what her talents should Warrant for her,-as
have most Of the female writer's of the present
day. With this explanation, which is due to
the opinions Of the public concerning these
writer's, we dismiss the subject.
