Longfellow's :. high water",

Poor Longfellow, notwithstanding all the
sweetness and magic of his poetic muse, is
catching it all around from the critics for his
last effort" the song Of Hiawatha". The N.

and adds some reflections, two of whiceh we
transfer to our columns 5Fr5o iy4 4

Pointing with her finger westward,

Yonder dwells the great PearlF feather,

Guarded by the black pitch.water.

Take your war-club, Puggawaugun,
And your mttent, Minjekchwaen, -
And your birch canoe for sailing,
And the oil of Liske-N Nahma "---and 60 FORTH
II, in all the history Of macaranic verse,
any greater nonsense can be found than this
stringing together Of gutturals, we should like

Take double dose of castor oil,
Take about peck of ipecac. ra. aa.Ta
Take large amount of pizen,
Take whatever we could get,
Take cab and take gun,
And incontinently leave for some place
where no poet ever breathed and no poetry was
ever allowed to come. i,!
"If Mr.. Longfellow has seen fit to follow the
example Of Chartterton, Otway and other, and
gone crazy, very good (; We will respect him for
what be did when sane"

American Encouragement.

The last number of the London Critic in
notice Of American literature, says: "In one
respect we must do the Americans justice, as
regards foreign literature. They have done
more, Of late years, to popularize the best au-
thors of Germany than all England beside. To
the Americans we are indebted for many ex-
cellent translations of the best German class
