The Lac nIrs. LongfeIIoz.

A correspondent Of the Albany States
man thus beautifully alludes to the death
Of the wife of Henry W. Longfellov. How
touchingly he intertWines with the melan-
choly event the sad story of the tEo. most
perfect characters Of the great poets crea-
tion Mary Atherton and Paul Flemingi
and how strange that in early life the au-
thor shouid 30 Tividiy portray the sadness
fated to fall on himself in after years:
How terribly sad was the death Of Mrs.
Henry W. LongfelloW. A letter now be-
fore me, from one who knew her well, says;
"Was ever death SO tragic and dreadful as
Mrs. LongfelloW's. I cannot make 1t real
that her calm, majestic life has ended in
suffering and horror. Through dreadful
passage her lofty and tranquil spirit en-
tered into life"
Mrs. Longfellow was the Mary Atherton
of her husbands Hyperion" first pub
lished some % years ago. Well may he
now say, as he does in the opening pages
Of that book Of beautiful thoughts, when he
wrote of his first wife: " The brightness Of
our life is gone. Shadows of evening fall
around us, and the world seems but dim
/ reflection, itself broader shadow.
!
aHis household gods we're broken. he
I had no home. His sympsthies cried aloud
for his desolate soul, and there came nc
answer from the busy, turbulent world
around him.
"He went abroad that the sea might be
between him and the grave Alas be-
tween him and his sorrow there could be
no sea but that Of time"
Then LongfelloE was in early manhood
now, in his great sorrow, he is in " life's
evening" We have read him so much
have passed so many pleasant hours over
! his pages, that We can but feel persona
4 interest in him, and for him, now in his lent
afliction. In his Hyperion, he thus de
scribes Mrs. LongfelloE, who was then il
her twentieth year;
! "The ledy's figure was striking. Every
step, every attitude, was graceful, and ye
lofty, as if inspired by the soul within
Angels in the old poetic philosophy hsVt
such forms; it was the soul itself imprint
ed on the air. @-
There was not one discOrdant thing in he
but perfect harmony Of fgure-ant
face. and soul-in q word, of the whole be
ing"

THE OoTroH Supply IN ENeBAED.-We
learn by late number of the New York
Economist that the stock of cotton in
Liverpool at last accounts was l,l20,0Oo
bales, with leo, 900 bales in transitu, 50
that, it remarks, if the blackade were
raised in February next we are informed that
no national inconvenience would be felt,R-
This is an important tact and must needs
have conJderable bearing upon matters II
this country as connected with the Cotton
States. Whether the Government is disposed
to make the best use of the margin thus ae-
corded to it will only be known by the
renewed efforts it may make within the enext
few weeks to make quick work with the
war. The fact is apparent, however, that the
Cotton States cannot suddenly /" move the
lever that moves the world, with England
SO we'll prepared to supply her mills and as
only seven per cent. of her people are en-
gagged in the manufacture of cotton, It is quite
Questionable whether she would not do betteI
to help them past a single season rather
than enter on q war with this country in ar
attempt to break the blocksde,--Tx.
