THE K.vIGYTLr HE.sRT.

In these days of intense money-niaking,
and of profound apathy and indifference to
almost every thing else, when the mer-
cenery spirit seems scorching and drying
up every nobler feeling like drouth, it is
as refreshing as a gentle shower TO see
new poem announced to The public. And
especially is this the case when the poem
rises above mere comic verse straining to
provoke laughter, end deals with the high
est emotional qualities OF the human char
acter.
THE KNIaHTLY HEART is poem
which presents to us one of the grandest
dramas which has yet been exhibited upon
the historic Stage, viz. the discovery of
America by Columbus and its attendant
circumstances. The lofty aspirations of
the hero; the deep, fervid religious devo-
ton of the Queen Isabella; the unhappy
loves of Francisco, one of the devoted fol-
lowers of Columbus, his Spanish love re-
firing, broken hearted, TO the convent
while his Indian bride dies in despair; the
morose cruelty of Ferdinand who rewards
heroism with dungeons and chains,-all
these incidents and attributes Of character
are depicted by the author in a fclicitous
flow OF verse, with style of thought and
diction suitable TO the quality of the actors
and the grandeur of the occasion.
The scene opens with the festivities at
the close of the Spanish conquest over
the Moors of Granada. Amidst the
brilliant pageant then exhibited, Column
bus is introduced following in thought the
track of Hesperus over the dark waves of
the Atlantic. His heart is there. Nothing
could he superior in poetic merit TO the
visions of Columbus while thus absorbed
in his schemes of discovery. The Turks
were then laundering at the gates of Eu-
rope the Panthian was still pressing the
Latin westward from the Euphrates Spain
felt the pressure, and, from her first flush
of victory over the Moslem hosts of the
East, rose 10 the hopes of new coDquests in
the unknown regions of the West. The
lofty heroism of Columbus was worlhly
sustained by the religious fervor of Isabella,
and new world thus became evolved
| from the dark bosom of the deep.
The subject with which the author deals
| Is a high one and he has treated il with
becoming dignity. His verse is distin-
guished for an intense spirit of earnestness
and love of the great and beautiful, thai
borders on sadness. A pathos, as oftragit
music in the deeper toned scenes of The
drama pervades every slanza. No one car
read the poem without experiencing a sym.
pathy oftone tending TO elevate the thoughts
and refine the feelings.
The author is Mr.. JAMES f. CoLMAN, 6
frequent visitor OF this village during the
last twenty years, and well known by hi'
friends as an admirer of the poetry of oul
scenery, and especially when arrayed in lis
beauties of autumn, his favorite season fol
a stroll among the mountains. To wha
extent the genius of the author may have
been inspired from this source the reader
may conjecture.
About one half ofthe volume is occupied
with other poems, as a specimen of whicl
we give the closing one.

BOSTON, June 25, 1873.
General Ben. F. Butler will develop the plan Of
his struggle for the Massachusetts Governorshp
in the course OF q few days. 1t Will simply be a
packing OF caucuses and preliminary meetings to
secure the nomination Of delegates to the State
Convention who are favorable to the nomination
OF the Sage OF Essex. The substance OF an editorial
in Washington paper, in defence OF the weak
nesses OF the Essex statesman, has been re-
printed here to-day in the Traveller and 1t has had
the effect to awaken or renew the public in.
terest in the question OF whether or not the
General will receive the regular Gubernatoria
nomination OF the Republican Convention. II he

there are prospects OF very lively campaign.
Nine Butler clubs in Boston, for instance, held
meetings tonight and strengthened and reinforced
their weak points and renewed their determine
ton to carry Old Ben into the Gubernatoral chair.
The state Temperance Alliance, at meeting this
TO Mr.. Butler through its Chairman, to
the effect that the State could be car
ried for General Butler because he was
man who would enforce the Prohlbit0ry law.
The general sentiment OF the meeting concerning
Butler, in spite OF what few remarks we're made
against him. was best expressed In the remarks
that he would rather have a ''devil in hell who
would enforce the Liquor law than an angel of light
who would do no more than Washburn haso The
main necessity was to have man for Governor
who would put the law IN force. The salient
points, or the map OF the scene Of political host
ties, will be made known in a few days. Within q
briefperiod also General Butler, it is understood
will say something about the salary grab question
and his connection with 1t.
