The "Chimney Corner" by Harriet Beecher
Stowe, is replete with good sense. Clemency
and Common Sense, by Hon. Charles Sum
ner, is Ostensihly historical discussion on
the origin of a well known Latin verse,
warning the navigator while he shuns Scylla
on the one hand, to be careful not to fall in
to Charybdis on the other. The application
of tho proverb to the conduct Of our public
affairs at the South, is obvious and pertinent
enough; but the hitchng on that application,
so formally, TO a merely literary disquisI-
ton about authorship, is a stain upon good
taste.
