Ill-EI aLIMPsEs OF HAWTHORNE. ss
The :" Passages from Hawthorne,s Note
Books" /" this month, relate to his lifeat
Concord, and are full Of quiet happi-
ness, as we'll as humor and personal
sketches. The portions relating to his
own houseke eping. and to his own feel
ings andJmental experiences, are deli
clous bits OF autobiography. Every
day" he says, "I trudge through snow
and sloSh to the village, look into the
post-othce, and spend an hour at the
reading room, and then return
nome, generally without having spo-
ken a word to a human being.n He
tells THAT he devotes from two to four
hours q day to writing, but the
magazine people do not pay their debts,
so we taste some of the einconVeniences
of poverty. 1t Is an annoyance, not a
trouble" During the absence, for a
forms us that it was hispurpose notst
speak a word to any human being, but
Thoreaui came, and the "Pythagorean
vow was broken.'' AS to Thoraau,
Hawthorne confirms the high idea
formed of him by his other friends and
associates. BE says that ''to hold in
tercourse with him is like hearing the
wind among the boughs of a forest;"
that he is on intimate terms with the
clouds, and can tell the portents of
storms;n that he is familiar with beast
fish, fowl and reptile, aud has strange
stories TO tell of adventures and friend-
ly passages with these lower brethren
of mortality" and that Nwith all this
wild freedom, there is high and clas-

A.Apropos of oftheextinction of the petty
German States, Cornelius says:
lam sorry for 1t all-heartily sorry.
A small individual iHyself, had a love
for small States-their little old-world
ways and cheap splend dours were pleas
ant to look at. a sovereign with a
body guard of twelve Shussars, and a
prime minister escorted home at night
by his own maid with lantern, could
inspire no jealousy. A first lord of the
treasury, With whom one played domi-
noes every evening at the cafe suggest
ed no heart-burnings, and went to my

lost four pence at whist to the com
mander of the forces. It was an adj
mirable restorative, after the painful
sense of ones insignifiance in London
or Paris, to go over to CROSS -Herzolich-
en- Schwein-Stadt and see how impor-
tanta parsonage you become--called
Herr Baron, if not Herr Graf, by the
landlord, and saluted by general up
rising of the whole table a. ltote at your
entry. And is all this gone and van
tshed forever Isit never again to be
given to humble men like myself to be

functionaries of State, to hob mob with
a minister of war, or light ones pipe
