anxious and careful endeavor to avoid, if pos

reader that the name of these books is legion.
They are, perhaps, too many; but though |
must die, some will ive--I know it, feel it;
and must continue to write while this spirit is

should wish to get rid of my two horsemen,
especially the one on the white horse. Wouyer-

lures; and | do not see why should not put
my signature, my emblem, my monogram, in
my paper and ink pictures, as well as any
painter of them all. am not sure that other
authors do not do the same thing that Lytton
has not always, or very nearly,a philosophiz-
ing hbertine; Dickens, a very charming young
girl, with dear little pockets; and Lever, a bold

relief to the reader whose sympathies and ap-

less humane writers, who get their heroes into
all kinds of trying and impossible situations for
the sake of showing their ingenuity in getting

INTERVIEWS WITH KossUTH. - Mr.. Walter
Gould, an American artist, Philadephian we
believe, writes under date of Barracks of
Kutchia, Asia Minor, July 9th, 1851" to a
friend in New York, that he has had several
interviews with Kossuth, and taken a likeness

writes that Kossuth speaks English with ease,
and always eloquently, though with defective
pronunciation. He says. E A
:" A proposition was made mo this morning
to paint the governor and his suite, the heads
grouped around their chief. The suite wish il
