Poetry.

There seems to be = remark bic dcaTth
"fgenuine poetry, everywhere, The H"me
Journal, formerly distinguished for I'd
number and sweetness Of its verses, comes
now with two or three short pieces that
will compare very "nfavorably with those
of our own fair correspondents. Take up
a Magasine for the past or the present
month, and you will hardly 6nd line
capable of awaking an emotion. And yet
we do not doubt that there is a great amount
of true poetic talent in the country. There
is no necessity Of long poems to demon
strate the possession Of genius. Gray's
Elegy has secured his Immortality, and
few persons either know Or care whether he
ever wrote anything else. Burns repu-
tation would be as safe as it now is, aud
his memory as tenderly cherished, if We
had only known him by the /" Iva Dogs"
or " Tam O'Shanter." 1t does not require
a thousand songs to test the sweetness Of
voice. A single strain may impress us
with its tenderness, and melt Us INTO tears
The miner wants but small specimen, to
test The depth and richness Of the vein.
And we can decide from a single effort of
brilliant mind that it has the gift of in
spiration.
There is no scarcity of such intellects in
our country, as has been clearly shown.
True, she has produced no dazzling lumi-
naries like Byron, but hundred scattered
twinklings, from as many different sources,
have shown that their light was as pure
as bis. Poverty seems to be the chief
reason, that We have never been favored
with great American POEM, and tha,
We get but few verses from those who ere
bes. able to pen them. Poetry requires
time. Moore wrote his Laila Rcokh in
three years, averaging about two stanzas
day. Perhaps any American writer would
be compelled to stop similar undertaking
in six months, for want of bread. If
man can write poetry, he can generally
write prose. If he can do that, there is
no necessity for starvation. He can fu.-
ui.h his column day for the newspaper.
or his monthly article for the magaz'nc,
aud live, The literary men Of this country
are generally poor. Prof ssiopai men, N'th
little taste for the details Of bu.>:ess, ana
with little ability to make money or Keep
it when they have it-badly paii pro-
sessors or teachers, and clerks, con6ned
all day to the counting-house-are the
men who have bull; up American litera-
,u7e. And for some Of the sweetest poe
try in the language, VIC are indebted to
pens that have all day been running over
day-book and ledger, and which yield to
the guidance of genius by night.
The detached pieces that have thus been
.hrown off from Thousand different hands,
make the poetry Of America. But they
read all the better when We know that they
are the result Of hours stolen from sleep
hours in which. the mind de6ed the tyranny
Of labor, .nd communed with nature in
secret, as the Christian Of an age long gone
pcrusea the Bible by stealth, and hid from
his oppressors, to hold Intercourse with
God.-Iih5ury Union.
