Criticism Empirical and Esthe ct 4

The Philosophy of Style" in the
Westminster Review for October, is an
ingenius attempt TO reduce the subtle
conditions of effect in writing. to single
principle. This, it is maintained, is found
in "economizing the readers attention
so presenting ideas that they may be
apprehended with the least possible men
tai effort. Some plausible illustrations
are given of this position, but the writer
fails to make out his case. The theory
will apply only to those occasions where
the main faculty to be addressed is the
understanding in the case of poetry, el-
oquence, picturesque and suggestive de-
scription, and the sphere Of the imagina-
ton generally, We believe that it is more
important to tempt the mind to varied
and active exercise, than to economic
any of its faculties or diminish the mo-
tives to mental effort Indeed, the
very first illustration of the writer's the
ory is suicidal No phrase" says he
''can convey the idea of surprise so viv-
idly as opening the eyes and raising the
eyebrows. a shrug of the shoulders
would lose much by translation into
words" The obvious conclusion is that
gesture is better than language, and the
nearer We can bring composition to pan
tomime the better 1t is easy to see
what havoc would be made Of style on
this principle. Nor is it true that econ
omy of attention is necessarily obtained
by economy of language. The most
condensed mode of expression is all algc
braic formula But translate the sym
bol into words, you find it can be under
stood with far less tax on the attention
than in its previous abstract shape The
secret of style consists in artistic cx-
pansion. Words, like money, must be
wisely diffused in order to produce the
best effect. The sense of proportion is
a guide in expression, as well as in ar
chitccture, and in both cases is equally
violated by deficiency and cxcess.-N

Mr.. Seymour of Addison County.
Mr. SEYMOUR introduced the following
resolution
ReSoiced, That the intelligence of the
death of DANIEL WEBSTER has been re.
ccived by the Senate with profound SEN
siblity and sorrow that our United
Republic has lost, in the great Defen-
der of the Constitution, a noble benefac-
tor and an illustrious son, whose unrival-
led intellect and patriotic heart were
ever zealously devoted to the enlarge.

ance other integrity and whose name, i'm
perishable as his great achievements, ,thro'
all coming time, is her richest inhcri.
tance that We tender our sincere SYM
sympathy to the family of the departed
in this bereavement, which, while it af-
fects a nation with unspeakable grief,
falls most heavily on the hallowed re.
tirement of his home.
The resolution having been read Mr..
5. rose and addressed the Senate as fol.
lows
Mr.. President,-I cannot doubt that
this resolution will receive not pnly the
acquiescence, but the approval of every
Senator. Its subject has filled large
space in our country's history, so nobly
that his history is inseparable from that
of our country, and could not be struck
out without depriving it of its highest
reputation and its greatest glory.
This year tho shafts of death have
fallen thick among the great. The
earth is not yet hard around the grave
of that somewhat elder patriot, who wa'
unsurpassed in his love Of his country
and its free institutions. when we ar,
called upon to mourn the loss of the
great Secretary, the great Legislator

Then rise what new emotion in his heart,
And rapturcs, which no foreign scene could

Then as he mounts the last green hillock's side
That ovcrooks the hamlet of his pride,
And first since long long years that scene he

Soft tinged in recollection's fondest hucs
How pleased he fingers, while his eye doth
roam
Ger the fair spot he calls his boyhood'5 home,

Beneath that vine, his mothers parting word
And felt the farewell kiss of those most loyed;-
These wake chord that scarce since then had
moved

Where he had learned Springs earliest stops
to greet
Where basking in the warmest beams OF May
lie loved to trace the mimic flock at play
The wooded glen, beneath whose tang led shade
lie culled Wild flowers and watched the rude
cascade,
Where many awinding pathway knew lis

And thick inwoven boughs waved ocr his
head
Yonsacred house ofpraycr, where carly train

From noisy mirth and idle word restrained,
Ills footsteps learned each sabbath nom to

And his young heart to find the heavenly
way
Such scenes he views, and As declining day
Sheds his last beams o 'cr all then sinks away,
lie feels that here beneath his native sky,
Twere sweet to live and would be sweet to die
And in yon church-yard where his fathers
sleep,
There he would rest, that friends might DER

Winch rs its fading colors caught her gaze
Might wake the memory Of those happier
days,
when her pure heart had not yet learned to
sin,
And human care found no abode within.
We too have had our Eden, meath whose shade
Our childhood sportcd and our young feet
strayed;
And many flower that bloomed those bow

Thence piuckcd, in ncmorys hallowcd shrine
has hung.
/ And though that Eden We may walk no more,
Nor breathe the fragrance that its hrcezes bore;
Yet these fond tokens faded though their hue
Those happier days and brighter scenes re-
new;
And thus hallowed influence impart,
To soothe the passions and refine the heart.

LADIES RlpiSG-It has been a pet

courage the practice of Ladies Horse
back riding. Our remarks on this sub
ect have been extensively copied by the
Press, and highly approved. At many of
our fairs this fall, prizes have been a
warded for ladies' saddle horses This
il well enough, but what We wish most
10 promote is the practice Of riding,
itself. Good horses are desirable, but
let the encouragement be offered to the
riders rather than the horses. We have
seen a really good rider lose the prize
on account Of coming out with hard
trotting nag, when her opponent won, ey.
en- with indifferent riding upon an easy
going beast \ good rider will manage
almost any horse the merit is in the
woman rather than the animal.
Our Columbiana friends have taken
hold of this matter right let our spirit

in every county and make up prizes that
will call out worthy competition. Then
