Nh. LosorELLow IN ENGLANp.--The Lon

Longfeliow's new poem, 'sThe Courtship Of
Miles Standish,o which has a great sale in
England, thus accounts for what it terms the
American poets "not easily defnable but
most emphatic and peculiar success, embodi-
cd in the expression popularity:
''lIe has long been the poet of our average
young people, cultivated, though not in the
highest degree, for whom Tennyson is too
engmatic, and the 'spasmodists' too irregu-
lar, turbulent, and mystical. He owes his
success to his grace, polish and melody; to
his ready ntelligibility; TO the innocent pu-
rity OF his sentiment; to his skill in illustra-
ting human action and passion by the intro
duction Of natural imagery and to his en-
bodiment of n vague religious and ethical
feeling in secular and poetic phraseology
welded to harmonious numbers. Ii is in
this last respect that he has distanoed the
British poet whom in other things he most
perhaps resembles, the author of the 'Pleas-
ures of Hope Inferior to Campbell in the
gifts common TO both--feehler. less impass-
Toned, and less ooncise-Longfello hps par
tcipated in the spiritual influences widely
dominant with the new generation. Moral
lists may condemn the overstrained asceti-
cism Of EXCELSIOR and critics NAV laugh at
the broken metaphors of 'The Psalm Of Life;'
but In poems like these Longfelow has known
how 10 strike chord ever ready to vibrate
in our modern breasts, and to which the
Campbells Of the past age did not, and in
deed could not, appeal
