"TITANIA's BANQUET, Pictures OF
WOMAN AND oTHHR PoEHs." by George
Hill. Third edition revised and enlarged.
D. Appleton a Co., New York, 1870. The
subJolned paragraph IL from q notice OF
those poems by Bryant, the eminent poet,
which appeared in the New York Eesniag
Pod Of the 22d Of December Lasts
"The first poem, 'Tltania's Banquet Is
after the manner OF the 'Masque Of Comus'
and several things by Ben Jonsou and by
Beaumont and Fletehsr. It has passages Of
great beauty. For example, the lyrical
verses on page ~, aud the three pages fol-
lowing, seem 70 NJ a. nns a. anything Of the
kind IN Beaumont and Fletcher's Faithful
Shspherdess.' The other poems In this col.
lection show q close observation OF nature,
and are written With simplicity, perfect
absence OF all meretTlclous ornament, which,
In our eyes, s no ANAL merit, though a
negative one. Tho poems before uS, how
ever, have higher Qualltles-they show .
fancy quick in assembling beautiful images,
and mind that delights 10 the expression
Of the gentler emotlons-those which only
stir the heart like soft wind ripping the
surface OF o quiet lake. The other day,
when the funeral dedication Of the monu.
ment OF the poet Halleck took place, Mr..
Hill composed few lines on the occasion"
The author Of the above noticed poems
was for many years connected with the
United States Department Of State, but In
1859, like his friend Halleck, retired to Gull.

Nh. WALLIS PEABODY DISCOURSE
We are indebted to Senator Maddox for
= pamphlet copy Of the Discourse of S.
Teackle Wallis on the Lie aud Character
Of George Peabody. The Discourse was
delivered before the Maryland Lcgisla-
ture at its present session and has been
published by its order. Since q greater
orator than Mr.. Wallis celebrated the
praises Of . wiser anu nobler philanthro-
phist than Mr.. Peabody, we recollect no
noztusry tribute more remarkable for
touching pathos. for keen and close anal
ysis, for wealth of adorrment, for clear
ness and eleqaence Of stat mcnt, than
the present Discourse. The address o!
Mr.. Winthrop on the same subject pos
sesses, indeed. great and varied excel
lcnec. but even Massachusetts, herself will
rank it, we believe, below the fort Of the
Maryland orator. The good intentions
Of Mr.. Peabody may come to uought or
be perverted to evil, his institutes may
crumble to dust and his vast bcnefactious
be lost to human service, but his name
will live with honor in mems memories
till elequence ceases to be immortal.
