proper, and the Postmaster General would

Bryant and Holmes at Newport.

A correspondent of the Tribune thus de-
scribes these well known persons, now at
Newport:
Now and then, from the gay throng of
common places, rises an august figure, tow
ering, like the obelisk at Paris, secure above
the world Of nonsense. Such figure sur
prised us on Sunday last, when on entering
the Unitarian Church, we saw the majestic
head of Bi yant, calm in the corner of his pew,
cloud-wrapped. like Wordsworth on Helvel-
lyn. There is shade ofseverity in the blue
eye and distinct features. but ii is the severi-
ty of grave and concentrated not an unge-
NAL man. The face strikes at once differ
ent chord from all that surround it. 1t sug-
gests at once calm, earnest thought-tbe
higher philosophical regions-nOt dreamland,
something higher sill. One thinks what a
column OF strength that head has crowned,
how unmOved its position through all these
years of hurry and change. Through the
crowded tide of New York life, through the
changing fashions of manners and politics, it
has represented the one moral aspect. the one
democratic idea. Live long, poet, and look
ever as you look now. The SHOWS of age have
crowned you with magni6cence. A yenera-
Die head is great boon to the world, aud
yours is precious to gee, and TO hear from !:
wherefore, live long, and change not.
Near him, in the same church, started up
another head, which is not venerable, and
never can become so. If that head could
represent the antics of the brain within, it
has no right to stand up at all. but should
ever be CHANGING hither and thither, in the
wicked and mischievous frolic 10 which the
eyes and the mouth bear witness. 1t is not
that DR.. Holmes has not his sober moments,
and his serious thoughts. He walks out in
high places. not unseldem, his balancing pole
gravely poised in his hand. Who more sol
emn, more decorOus than he? But at the
critical moment, in passing whatever abyss,
he must, like Mons. Blondin, lie down on the
rope, and indulge himself with variety of
charming, facetious intellectual tumblings
and vaultings each more surprising than the
other, which make the bystanders hold their
breath. He is certainly off, now he holds
only by one toe-if there be such thing as
gravity. he must go. Bah! you thought that
was something? that cost him no et1ort-it
was the natural man, following his natural
tendency. Now he stands before you, grave
and erect. the balancing pole all right again,
aud il the tit do not once more seize him, he
will walk TO the other side, sober a parson,
and polite as a sheriff at hanging. Such is
the Autocrat of the Breakfast Table. 1t is
not dangerous to write about him, for his
satire is never personal. but general, and he
has not in his whole composition as much
spite as have sometimes seen contained i'll
