AMERICAN LITERATURE.
NOVELS AND ROMANCES.

To the Editors Of the National Lnteligneer
The field of romantic fiction has for a quarter
of century been thronged with laborers. l do
not know how large the national stock may be, but
have in my own library than seven hundred
volumes Of novels tales, and romances by Ameri-
can writer's Comparatively few of them are OF so
poor a sort as to be undeserving place in any
general collection of our literature. Altogether
they are not below the average of English novels
for this present century: and the proportion which
is marked by genuine originality of manner, pur-
pose, and feeling is much larger than they who
have not read them are aware.
Charles Brockden Brown the pioneer in this
department of our literature, was gentle, unob-
trusve enthusiast, whose weak frame shattered
and wrecked by the too powerful pulsations of his
heart He was no msanthrope, but the larger por-
ton Of his liie though it was passed in cities, was
that of a recluse. "A happy destiny, he writes in
his diary, brought me 10 knowledge of two or
three minds which were fashioned in the same
mould with mine, but they are gone. o, God! en-
able me to support this wretchedness, until it is thy
will that | should follow them = He tells us fthe
Joy with which he communed with his thoughts in
the gloomy woods, peopng them with the beings
of his Imagination, until the veil disappeared from
betwixt himself and the spiritual existence. He
lived in IDEAL and had little or no sympathy
with the actual world
OF Browns novels, Wieland, Arthur Mervyn,
and Edgar Huntley are the best. 1t is false that
they are limitations of Caleb Williams and Saint
Leon, for the first of them was written, and his
mind was perfectly fashioned before he had heard
Goodwin. Independently and contemporaneously
that author and himself founded in two hemispheres
new school of fiction.
Brown had more genius than talent, and more
Imagination than fancy. II has been said that he
outraged the laws of art by gross improbabilities
and inconsistencies The criticism is unjust for
the story of Wieand-the most incredible of his
novels-s true; aud the unity and consistency of

GO NOT BACK.

BY brother go not back,
The pledge is taken now;
see it in the healthful smile
That plays upon thy brow;
l see it in the sparkling eye,
So dull and dim before;
Then go not bace again my friend,
To sure distinctions door.
My brother 60 not back,
Press on in virtues way;
Be steadfast in thy sacred pledge,
And truth shall be thy stay.
Hope, erighi as mornings dawn, shall spring,
Whereer thy feet may tread
Then go not back again my friend,
To paths of epror spread.
My brather go not back,
To sorrow and to vice,
To reap the bitter fruits of sin,
Where none to glory rise;
Where stranger to the joys Of earth,
Life will be stepped in woe
Then 60 not back again my friend,
But upward, heavenward go.
My brother will not go,
| read it on hia cheek;
| see ii in the tears that flow,
And when hear him speak,
He has resolved in Gods own strength,
who will, know, sustain,
Never, while reason holds the throne,
To touch the cup again.

Buried Alive.

A philanthropist, most worthy Of the title, has
Just addressed 10 the French government curious
report upon precipitate burials According to his
calculations the measures and delays prescribed by
law are not sufficient. Within few years he has
collected long list of supposed dead who returned
to life at the moment they were sewing them up in
the shroud-of others while they were being lower
ed into the grave One shudders on reading the
report, which is filled with facts, accompanied by
the most authentic proofs. There yet remain those
cases Of which we continue ignorant, or which are
discovered too late.
Frightiu noises, accidental discoveries, reveal to
from time to time some of these subterranean
dramas, which, real or fictitious inspire terror in
every body. Last winter young and beautiful ac-
tress died very suddenly. young man who was
greatly afflicted at her death had been conversing
during the last moments Of the deceased with Gel
ebrated physician, who told him he had often in
similar cases, profound lethargy of long du-
ration mistaken for death. These words excited in
the mind Of the yonug man grief hope, and terror.
"Should she not have been dead ?" cried he. But
she had been buried the evening before and in or
der to open her grave again tedious formaties
were required it necessary to obtain aulhori-
ty, which was difficult. Despairiug, suppcating,
his heart torn anew with every moment that elaps-
ed, the unhappy young man at length succeeded in
obtaining permission to have the coffin opened
which enclosed the object of his affections. The
physician, who accompanied him, examined the
body and said-"She is dead but it is not more
than two hours since death occurred for still per-
ceive some remains Of WARMTH
1t had been then two days since the unfortunate
woman was buried,
The means guarding against similar disasters
are easy, and well known. In Germany, the coun-
try of wise precautions there is in every cemetry
room where the dead are kept long time before
they put into the ground. In this transient a.
partment the dead body, dressed in particular
manner, is laid upon bed before his lips is placed
Mirror which the slightest breath will tarnish be-
tween his fingers thread is tied, which, at the
slightest motion, will agitate and cause to sound a
little bell suspended in the room occupied by the
keeper of the cemetry, Night and day careful in
spectors visit the chamber of the dead from hour TO
hour. There seldom passes year, we we're told at
Frankfort, in which a supposed dead person does
not wake and sound the bell.-Letter from Paris.
Col. Todd, the U. S. Minister to Russia, we
learn from the New York Courier, has sent to the
National Institute account of the dead body of
Gen. Duke de Croy, which has been preserved 1870
years and is still undecayed. lie was French
man, in the Russian service, and at his death his
creditors forbade the burial of his body until his
debts should be paid 1t was consequently placed
in dry room of church, where il was found some
thirty years ago, and it is an object of curiosity.

Gus worms that make their appearance on the limbs
of apple trees in August and though they make no

An AppcaI to Christian Mothers In behaI
of the Slave.
A Christian thou, and canst forget
A sisters wrong, sisters palms,
Her, who in hopeless bondage pines.
In cruel servitude and chains?
All, no-by all thy heart holds dear,
BY every sweet and sacred tie,
l charge thee to remember her,
In all her woe and agony.
Think of thy own dear, smiling babes
From thiEe embraces torn away
Think of thy daughters, chaste and fair,
Driven forth to be the spoilers prey!
That noble boy, thy bosom's pride,
With fettered limbs and cory back,
Forced to the bondman's daily toll,
While blood and tears besmear his lack!
Think of thy husband, he whose love
Is more than all the world to thee,
Chained with helpless, hopeless gang,
No more again thy face TO see
All this. and more, thy sisters's heart
Hath borne, nor could she, might she save
Those dear ones from the tyrant's power,
Herself poor insuted slave
And dost thou ask; 'What can do,
Since her redemption would seek''
Thou hast tongue-go, plead for her,
For she is dumb, and may not speak
Before the throne of God most high,
Pour out thy soul in ardent prayer
Pray as thou wouldst if bound with her,
And doomed myself the chain to wear!
