Literary Notes.

The THIRD VOLUME of the Dickens series,
ssued by the Messrs. Peterson, Of philadel-
phia, is that powerful chapter in Human
Life" A Tale of Two Cities" This is not
one of the authors most elaborate works,
and will never hold equal rank with DOM
hey & Son, or David Copperfeld, but it is a
most interesting and thrilling episode in
that terrible whirl of events, the French
Revolution.
Concerning the dealings of the Messrs.
Harper, and Peterson with Mr.. Dickens, DR..
Mackenzie, of the Philadelphia Press, fur
nishes some interesting facts. lie says;--
Since the first issue of Harpers Ma
9dzine, and, subsequently, of Harpers
Weekly, each new work by Dickens has
been published in these periodicals, by spe-
cial arrangement with the author, almost
simultaneously with their appearance in
London. Impressions of the illustrations,
chiefly on steel, were sent over here, with
the advance sheets, and put in the hands of
good artists, who copied and reproduced
them on wood. In the instance Of "a Tale
of Two Cities which appeared in London
without any illustrations, Harper & Broth

Morn and morn and eve and eve,
/ grieve, and cannot choose but grieye,
For Mooley, best of cows
God, let the glory come, not pass,
Of green things, such as leaves and grass.
That she may Craze and browse!
All lean and lank all peaked and pined,
All lank and lean, with tail to wind.
Behind the herd she lags;
With head hung down as if to hook,
Hair course and rough. and ribs that look
Like hoops on cider-kags
All lank and lean, with hungry eyes,
And back bumped toward the wintry skies,
Before the wind she leans;
Ner medder hay she doth refuse,
And sniffs and lows, and lows and moos,
A COW that longs for greens.
o, cold cold SHOWS, melt, melt away!
Come, drizzliug rains before your day,
And start the grass and things;
And harping on your well-worn chords,
Come, yaller birds, come, swaller birds,
And flap your wrinkled wings.
o, great big booming bumble-bees!
o, little pretty honey-bees!
And Blithe, blue-bodied flies,
lou, uaW-Dugs, anu you. uIIDie-DuSS,
Come, show your little lovely mugs,
And light the summer skies
All grubs with unfulfilled hours,
Pour millers, gnats and moths in showers,
l charge you as your aunt;
For when the indelicate's allied
Too closely to the undignifed,
You tell it, for | can't.
Then shall the skeeter in the night,
Attend you like a guardian sprite,
A-singing you to sleeps
Flies on your nose, when you are sick,
Shall perch, like Mother Carys chick
On masthead, on the deep.
O. northern thistles, 1.-the canucks
O, burdocks, and o. other docks,
And mulleins, and all such
With eyes turned up and toes turned out,
pray you be so good as sprout.
For Mooley wants you much
Low-lying, in her wintry shed,
With naught but mouldy straw for bed,
She dreams of summer scenes;
Her every breath becomes sigh,
A smothered and asthmatic cry
for the greens! the greens!
