ellis. The following on the power of Truth is
very fine
The hope Of Truth grows stronger, day by day;
hear the soul Of Man around me waking,
Like a great sea, its frozen letters breaking,
And iilngng up to heaven its sunlit spray
Tossing huge continents in scorntul play,
And crushing them, with din ofgrinding thunder,
That makes old emptnesses stare In wonder.
The memory OF glory passed away
Lrneers in every heart, as, in the shell,
Rlpples the bygone freedom OF the sea,
And, every hour, new signs OF promise tell
That the great soul shall again be free;
For high, and yet more high the murmurs swell
Outward strife for Truth and Liberty,
The Street is another, in which scorn and
compassion are blended as they canbc blended only
in noble soul. Looking on the branless, soul
less multitude that oste each other in the streets
beings who have sold their birthright, and put
swine's hoof on mans noble nature-he turns
away in contempt, but remembering they are
still members of the same great brotherhood, there
comes half relentng to his heart, which sheathes
the sharp edge Of the truth he utters.
THE STREET.
THEY pass me by like shadows, crowds crowds,
Dim ghosts of men that hover TO and fro,
Hugging their bodies round them, like thin shrouds
Wherein their souls were buried long ago;
They trampled on their youth, and faith, and love,
They cast their hope of humankind away,
With Heavens clear messages they madly strove
And conquered, and their spirits turned TO clay:
Lo, how they wander round the world, their grave,
Whose ever-gaping nav by such is fed,
| Gibberng at living men, and idly rave,
! 1--WE, only, truly live, but We are dead
Alas poor fools. the anointed eye may trace
A dead souls epitaph in every face
'L'Envoi' is probably the mostlabored poem in
the collection. At least it exhibits more thought
and less imagination than the others, and we
should think was sort of diary OF Mr. LIS men.
tai experience, writing out of his serious re-
fections We have not room for full extracts,
but the following contains as noble thoughts as
were ever uttered by man
All nations have their message from on high
Each the messiah of some central thought,
For the fulflment and delight of Man:
One has to teach that Labor is divine;
Another, FREEDOM; and another Mind
And all, that God is open-eved and Just
The happy centre and calm heart OF all
These Poems are valuable addition to Ameri-
can literature, and the great earnestness and no.
bic scorn of mean and selfish pursuits they
breathe are tokens Of good in these days of gen.
eral restiessness and unworthy action.
We trust we do not take any objectionable
liberty in making this notice of volume Of
Poems by rare youth, whom, with no personal
acquaintance, we love much as a Poet and more
as q Man. We have ere this abundant evidence
that the Publishers of Boston have some objec-
ton, whether of principle or taste to the circua-
ton of their books out Of New England which
induces them to keep their books carefully out of
the hands of any New York journals of wide cir
culation unless edited by Bostonians. But being
recently in Boston, we could not resist the tempt
alton presented by halfleisure hour to drop into
Ticknor & Co.'s and buy this new volume Of
Lowel's, and in occasional odd minutes since,
while waiting for mails or proofs, we have read
and enjoyed tan enjoyment of which we are
impeled to give oar out-of-Ne ngland readers
some idea. If any offence is taken at this, it is
given innocenty and we humbly crave pardon.
LES MYSTERIES DE PARIs.-Mr Winchester of
the New World has Just issued this popular work,
in the French language. We habits appearance
with great pleasure. Hundreds in New-York
who read the French have been desiring 1t, not
withstanding the translation was so admirably
done 1t is got up IN numbers at 25 cents each,
which will bring the work much cheaper than It
could be bought in Paris. We are glad also to
find it SO ,oeu got up. If we could have had our
choice, however, the type would have been larger,
but still it is exceedingly well printed. Notwith
standing there are so many French in New York
who will be glad to find the work in their own
language, we venture to say more numbers will
be bought by our own citizens than even by them.
In looking at the French edition one will not be
so much surprised at the beauty and force Of the
translation. The style in which it is written is
remarkably smooth and howery, and the SEN
fences uncommonly easy of translation. Mr..
Winchester taken great pains also to have the
edition correct.
