much praise from the press, is The Pocket
Celebration OF the Fourth It isa review
Of Rufus Choatc's Grafton in Boston at the
last Independence day The Boston .IRos
thus speaks OF il; There is no need OF quail
flying Us or butSi in every respect it would
do credit to the ablcst writer of our times, ON
either side of the Atlantic The subject is
the receut Grafton Of Mr.. Chouic before the
Young Mems Democratic Club The review
err does ample justice to Mr.. Choatcs,sch
arship and taste, and especially to his Splcn-
did rhetoric. No admring follower of the
great orator, even, has set forth hismany cx-
eellencies with n kccuer analysis or more
generous appreciation. Having done that,
the reviewer proceeds to the examination of
the theory Of politics laid down in the ora
ton, With entire courtesy but with mcrci-
less logic the great compromiscr is driven
from position to position until his last refuge
is destroyed. We can commend no greater
treat to our readers than perusal Of this
mastery article Apart from Its nervous
strength, it is full of fclicitous sentences and
epithets, full Of scholarly illusions, and brst-
ling with native wit. We are glad for the
sake of the Republican party, and glad for
the sake Of the publishers of the magazine,
that they have writer who combincs so
many elements of success in this most diff
cult and most important department."

New England, Our talks with Uncle John,
Daphnaides, The Khioch Estate, The Auto
crat Of the Breakfast Table, &c, sc. There
