sMore fair than the flowers fresh than the dew
With her white morning robe fitting joyously through
The dark shrubs with which the hillside was clothed,

OF such sunny sweetness such gladness such grace,
And radiant confidence, child-like delight,
That his whole heart upraided itself at that sight,
And he murmered sighed, OH how could I have

And here the first part
OF this drama is OVER
The curtain now falls On the first act. 1t rises
again after space, upon the same actors still
nnder the bane of their prosperous wretchedness.
| The flame, which before idle wantonness,
and is guilt, is fercey rekndled, and the
| poor victims stand the verge of irretrievable
destruction, when angel of mercy interposes in
the shape of the old rogue of an uncle, Sir Ridley
| McNab, who steals the wealth OF the Vargraves
and restores them to peace. Again the curtain
| falls upon a much longer lapse, and lifts once
| more to reveal retrospects of the interval, and
| gimpses of the processes of publication and
| elevation wrought by misfortune and honora-
bic usefulness. The last scene is in the camp
before Sevastopol The Due de Louvois, still unmar-
ried after having served with distinction parti
ian in Algers, is in command of French division
grey STERN famous. In the trenches also is young
English officer, sole child of Lord Alfred and Ma
tilda, seeking honorable death, for he, too has
deadly sorrow-loving the Dukes nece,
and by him sternly repealed. The end
| seems attained; the boy is dangerously wounded,
and is nursed by French nun, the ,Saar Sera-
phine-( Lucie,) who is devoting herself to hospl-
tai duties in the French camp. The end may be
imagined. Through her gentle tending wounds
both of heart and body are healed The Duke is
made friends with the young soldier, and the
poem ends-not, we think, too soon.

HISTORY UNITED STATES, from the discovery o
the American Continent. By GEORGE BANCROFT. Vol
VII, yo., PIP. AIS. 1860.
Slowly year by year, with severe and persistent
labor, as only monuments more enduring than brass
may be builded, our great American annalist lifts
ponderous stone upon stone of the great pile which
most worthily concentrating the story of his owr
land will most worthily perpetuate his own fame
The present volume extends from June II, 1865, to
July A. 1776-the most eventiul of all years since the
discovery of this continent, to itself and in its con-
| sequences perhaps to the world.

phes and literary notices with forty indexes of sub
jecs, BY S. Austin Allibone, Chids 4 Peterson, Pub
fishers, Philadelphia. vol. l.
There is perhaps work in the English Ian
guage which contains larger amount of informa-
ton condensed into the space than this criti
cal Dictionary of English Literature by Allibone.
So far it has been completed it exhausts the sub
ject. Its plan and method of arrangement not
less admirable than the judgment and impartiality
which have presided over the multifarious details
1t is one of those conscientious performance
which not only fulfil the expectation, but exceed
it, leaving no want in its particular speciality un
supplied. As book of reference, it will be found
invaluable to every literary man, its chief superi
orty over all others of the kind consists in the
fact that besides its unquestionable merit as
manual of photography, it is dictionary of au
thors, embracing the chief points of interest in
the lives of the most prominent of them. Such
a work as this may be consulted by men of every
profession, with the perfect assurance that they
will find under the respective heads all the infor
nation which it is possible for such work to give
