We have always deplored the many futile
attempts made By patriotic Southern sorib-
blers to refute the ugly old school narm e
mischiegous work; because none that have
written. have showed half her genius or
fascination of style. The one that has best
answered her, is Mrs Rush, Of Philadelphia,
whose novel, NORTH AND SoUrH, tells the
history Of poor white family Of the North
that would beat Mrs. Stoves Uncle Tom
for the horrible, if the subjects were black
and the tale was not an tower true one.

HoME SCENES AND HEART STUpIEs, by
Grace Aguilar, author Of untold volumes
Of namby pamby prose Stories. This is
the last, though not positively the last, of
Miss Grace's literary remains. Her mother

she has been dead Her works written
since that time arc not half as good as those
she wrote when numbered with the frail
tenement Of flesh which wore out SO early,
md freed her imprisoned spirit.
The same falling of is noticed in other
great authors, who while on earth astonish :
Cd the nations by thedepth Of their thoughts
and power Of their genius. We are in re.
