The greatest poet of the Elizabethan age,
next to Shakespeare, was undoubtedly Ed
mund Spenser; and the most meritorious of
his works was the Fairy Queen. This was
designed TO be heroic poem in two parts,
each part TO consist of twelve books; but this
plan, It is hardly necessary to add, was never
completed. Itwas as If one man had under
taken to build the Egyptian pyramids. Gas
only one half of the first portion of this vast
design was completed, as this half makes
one Of the longest poems in the world, and as
all but the poets resolute admirers profess
their incapacity to read without WEAKNESS
more than the first three books, it must be
admitted that Spencer's conception of the alb
stract capabilities of human patience was
truly heroic, and that his confidence in his
own Longevity was founded on "reminiscences
of Methuselah rather than on a study Of vital
statistics"
We have not time to dwell upon the merits
and defects of this truly wonderful allegory.
The gorgeousness of its diction, the purity Of
its conceptions, the beauty Of its descriptive
passages, its chivalrOus devotion to woman
and its delicate appreciation Of whatever is
true and lovely in female character, ring like
a continual melody from its opening line to its
closing stanza. 1t is the soul of music crys-
talized into speech.
And now in conclusion-for we must post
pone the consideration Of the prose literature
of this age-let US express our admiration at
the host of great minds that added lustre to
the court of the Virgin Queen. Her reign
is distinguished for the colonization Of Amer
lea, but this was not the only acquisition to
her realm. There was added also new
world of literature, blooming with the indy
ing flowers Of poesy and stored with the price
less and inexhaustible mines of philosophy.
The two events were synchronous in point Of
time and equal in importance and results.

The editor of the Caucasian weekly
published in Missouri, declares that he
will never quit editing while God gives
him strength ''to swing pencil or stick a
moral cookie burr under the crupper of
loyalty andAham piety." "Never never,

and horrid paraphernalia, is scourged
bowling back to its native hell" Never
till the shackles are stricken from the
limbs of forty millions of American white
bondsmen, and Freedom, Peace, Pros
perity, once more reign triumphant from
Moosehead Lake to Popocatapetl, from
Skoodoowabookski to Okeefeenoke." The
immediate cause of this heroic resolution
on the part of the gentle editor is the
PRONUNCIATION and enforcement Of the
Fifteenth 'bedamnedment" throughout the
limited States of New Africa" Exercised

He must "let off" or bust. just listen to
his tale of woe:
Twenty thousand niggers, balloons that
only shed their tails generation ago;
boorish savages, whose relations are to-
day dining ON roast old women and
fricaseed baby, to whose cannibal tastes
no dish is SO dainty as nicely stewed North

ken the necessary machinery there and have
erected building 4Ox70 feet for work shop

work has had years of experience in the bust

of any he ever visited. We are told that
slabs ten feet square and an inch thick have
been pryed off with common iron bar and
that it is of such superior quality that holes
cannot be punched with a bar, couple of
inches apart without splitting the slab. The
working of this quarry will give new impe-
