Langleys, N. Y.-Embellishe with capital portrait
of the Hon. William Allen, U. s. Senator. OF Ohio
"A good number of one of the best OF eur maya

Ground of Government" by Brownson, is perhaps
too trauscendental to be profitable to the general
reader, though manly and fearless in its specifca-
| lions and exposures of demagogueism. Poetry

the interested and the ignorant, that gave rise
ane state Of things" that " man as such, was adj
mitted by his brother as brother, and his name
and title allowed to rank higher than king pres-
dent;' and that the predominant fact of the l9ih
century is unquesonably the Importance and eleva-
ton OF the mass" Appropriate specimens of "poe
try for the people," are given from Barry Cornwall
ongfellow, and others Whittier has pretty con
tribution on " New England SupernaturaIlsm;"
the :" glory and shame" of New England Tucker
man furnishes several scraps of poetry; and Lowell
peeps, with both eyes open, behind the curtain"
Miss Anne G. Lynch, of Providence, r. t. gives a
page of her sweet sympathy to the "Dying Syca-
mores;" but the final quatrain, which should be to
the poem what the diamond is to the turban Of the
Sultan, the finishing ornament, degcnerates, (and
we must say it, however, ungallanty) into dog
gerel. threads:
eye emblem many a weary heart,
In this fair world Of ours;
For they that lore NOT are like ye
Ga! dying Sycamores"
The rhyme is sacrificed between the second and
fourth lines; unless Mss Lynch intends the reader
10 preserve the Down East pronunciation OF Syca-
mo,cers. Moreover, what means she by "they that
! tove not ~ Is it a remonsrance against the young
bachelors of the /" Suffrage party9" If so, we pro
test against their contumacy, and appeal 10 Go
vernon Dorr. They that love not, are like We OH
dying sycamores" That is, they are not green
they are worm eaten, dry old sticks TO say the best
ofthem. But enough Altogether, this number OF
the Review is an excellent one.
