rather tnged with words and phrases that the
fastidious would be apt TO cavil at and too often
he disdains LINDLEY murray, (for whom he
acknowledges he has no great respect,) and
he TOO often iorgetfully repeats the same
thought or smile; but, Notwithstanding
these faults, he shows himself a man of much
reading, and deep reflection, and writer of
great power. His style wants condensation.
He seems to have dashed off his work, scum
curenie calanio,' as rapidly as D'lsraeli says
he dashed off his Vivian Grey;" and here and
there, but we confess at far intervals, he re-
minds us of the distich--
'.You write with ease to show your breeding,
But easy writings blamed hard reading"
Yet for all this, he kept US for two mortal
days wholly engrossed with his book. He
enchanted us with his descriptions of Western
life and Western scenery, and narrowed our
very soul with his account Of the doings of the
4" Regulators" or Lynchers. We have our
self been backwoodsman, and know some
thing Of frontier life, and doubt not that his
work is g founded on facts" facts, alas of too
frequent occurrence. We regret that he
speaks alphabetically Of the Lywchers. We
can see no justification for the doing of an I'M
lawful act, by one man or set of men, because
some other man or set of men acted unlawfully
before. We cannot bring ourself to believe that
any honest OF honorable and brave man ever
engaged in a ynching no, none but low,
base-hearted, cowardly, wretch could engage
in such an unlawful and inhuman practice.
Alas how many instances are there where the
unoffendiDg and innocent have been made to
suffer the most cruel torments, inflicted by the
selfconstituted courts of Judge Lynch2 The
annals of the West and South are full of them.
Had we the making of the laws, we would
hang by the neck every convicted Lyncher UNI
til he were dead, dead, dead-but that we are
opposed to the death punishment. Mr.. WEIR's
accounts of the doings Of the Lynchers or Reg
ulators are truly terrific; and they will afford
the lovers of the horrible rich repast He
will equally crafty those who are fond
of seeing the family circle around the
the hearth-stone, and hearing the details of
domestic life. The practical joker he will
make laugh at his pranks, and will take the
hunter on chase with him. The sensi-
BILE high-minded girl will be pleased with his
company, but | fear the sentimental young
lady just from school, would turn up her nose
at such lover. But no matter, the most n,l-
merous portion of novel readers will be de-
lighted with his work, for they will find it one
of the deepest interest, kept up from first to
last with utter intensity.

BY JAMES WfNNE, NJ. D..
Whence comes the secret of the magic power,
Which In thy full-toned voice doth float and
CULVER,
Like sparkling ripples in the summer hour,
Borne on the surface Of the joyous river.
Hast thou been taught by babblng mountain
springs,
The music wild, which the glad waves commotion
Awakens from their depths with unseen strings,
AS joyfully they leap to join the ocean,
Or has the nightingale lent thee the voice
With which he chats his plantive note OF
sorrow
To the devoted rose bud Of his choice,
Throughout the lonely night, till wakes the
morrow,
Whate'er its source, like dimly Swallowed dreams,
1t wakes within my soul thoughts long departed,
And as thy voice swells on my car, it seems
To call from mcmorys depths hopes broken
hearted
o, yet prolong thy fascinating strain
Though from mine eye the bitter tear is stealing,
would not check the thoughts that crowd my
brain,
Though sad the scene they bring-angu the
