A Word with Poets.

|. Is natural to think ones self poet.
Nearly every body has an attack OF rhyming
indeed it is inevitable as chckcn-pox or
measles. Some convalescc Others never re-
cover, but 20 through lite reading bad verses
to all uniortunates "nom they succeed in con-
corning, and denouncing the world in genera
and editors in particular, because their genius
is not appreciated
We are always glad to receive good verses,
but We advise none to attempt them who can
possibly help it. Of the 3OO00,00O in the
once United States, there are some half dozen
whose reputation as poets Is conceded by the
nation aud perhaps one in u million with
sectional reputation.
We beg leave to suggest few plain things
to the multitude who send us verses
FIRST Rhymixg is one OF the easiest
things in composition. Jingle is not poetry.
We claim no poeical genius, aud yet we
will engage for consideration to produce
rhyme by the quire, provided its authorship
shall remain secret Do not suppose that
because you can make u jingle, you are a
poet.
Second DO not assume to write poetry
Tor publication, unless you understand the
grammar Of your language. Take its first
DIVISION 'Orthography. Can you spell ?
Upon our table is au Ode TO Liberty. OF
course, we never read beyond that caption,
and many gem as It's author fondIy
thought, goes unread to the rejected box, be-.
cause OF such errors, for as general rule
m1SSpIied poem as worthhsS
II you cannot parse your verses, keep them
until You can. Tbs RUE i, 30 correct as to
need no qualification. Can you puuctuate ,
