| Mr.. LoNGPELLow IN ENGLAND.-Fhe London Cri.
tic, in favorable review of Mr.. Longfellows new
poem, 'The Courtship of Miles Stendish,' which
has a great sale in England, thus accounts for
what it terms the American poets "nOt easily
defnable but most emphatic aud peculiar success,
embodied in the expression popularity"
| "He has long been the poet of our average young
people, cultivated, though not in the highest de-
gree, for whom Tennyson il too enigmatic, and the
'spasmodists' too Irregular turbulent and mysti.
cal. He owes his success to his grace, polish ard
melody; to his ready intelligibility; to the inno-
cent pr rity Of his sentiment; to his skill in illus
trating human action and passion by the introduc-
| ton OF q natural imagery; and to his embodiment
OF vague religious and ethical feeling in secular
and poetic phraseology welded to harmonious
| numbers. 1t is in this last respect that he has
distanced the British poet whom in other things
he most perhaps resembles, the author of the
Pleasure sof Hope Inferior to Campbell in the
gifts common to both-feebler. less impassioned
and less concse-Longfellow has participated in
the spiritual influences widely dominant with the
new generation. Moralists may condemn the
overstraned ascetcism of Excelsior, and critics
may laugh at the broken metaphors of The Psalm
| of Life" but In poems like these LoDgfellow has
known how to strike chord ever ready to vibrste
in our modern breasts, and to which the Campbells
of the past age did not, and indeed could not ap-
peal"
