Then an angel comes Oh her silver Wtngss--4--

And weep for joy while the angel sings
Like the soft south wind when he wooes the flowers
Like the glad birds notes in his love wreath'd bow.

4 If.
L. has been claimed that the most sue
cessfuI newspaper is thatwhich everybody
reads and nobody likes. If the same
rule applies to books, "Gail Hamilton"
must be accounted a successful writer; she
is widely read and almost as widely abus-
ed. The Boston Rspie0 leyels the point of
an epigram at her latest book, which will,
it asscr,s, be acceptable to two CLASSES,
"those who haze been married uDfortu-
nateIy, aud those who unfortunately have
not been married" On the other hand we
meet here and there words of hearty and
generous, if qualified, comnendaiou, like
these from the United States Service Maya
zine:
ave do not often take sudden fancies,
but Gail Hamilton was oue of them, and
we bHve never been called upon to with
draw our frat favor. IA New Atmos-
phere, just published, ia good book; one
10 read at sitting, and then TO put by for
further reading TO turn over with friend,
10 talk about, and to act upon. Her judg
ment of men aud women, is as like that Of
the sensational novels as Hyperion to q
Satyr.' Humanely satiricaI, she does not
lash, but reasons with the culprits. Men
may take lessons from her writings, which
will tend to the production of a new and
purer atmosphere aud il she championizes
women occasionally in a partial manner
the spirit of true chivalry ia not yet ex.
tinct, and so we fairly range ourselves on
her side. Would il not be well TO give US
au occasional opportunity to differ with
herl She is real, startling, fearless, and
4 a.;
more, and in spite Of all polemics, we COM
mend her books as excellent moral teach
ers.n
GEN. SCOTT AND THE REVIEWERS.
The North American ReUisU is severe
upon the autobiography of Gen. Scott 1t
would seem that the habits Of military
life, the iufrmilies OF ripe old age, and
the memory of more than fifty years of ar
duous public service, might be some apol-
ogy for defects OF style. The reviewer
thinks otherwise, and writes with pen as
sharp as the venerable hero's sword:
"The more man talks about himself
sbe ilsas Interesting be becomes and i'll
iugly displayed to posteEity AS to ones own
contemporaries. We seem to be justified
in forgetting one who is so amply remem.
bered by himself, aud almost feel animos-
iiy to a memory which, like sulky, seems
made expressly to convey only single
person. The book is one of the washiest
We have ever read. Compared with it,
Gen. Heath's memoirs are thrilling, and
Ey's jourual is thing to,chest us of our
pillows. IL the Generals reputation can
stand watering like this, it mustbe above
proof"
