THE GREEK POETS.

In ..Studies of the Greek Poets" by John Ad-
dington symonds Harper * Brothers. the classical
scholar will find delights in going over the old
ground in such good company; recurring to familiar
scenes with whose sensibility to their hner
spirit gives them new value and hearing again tho
well remembered voices with one whose car for
their daintier music is accute; while readers un-
acquainted with the Greek poets cannot possibly
make their acquaintance more happily than in these
pages Several books substantially the same
plan in existence but none is SO good as
this. Despite the designation of "Studies employed
perhaps in order not to commit the author to any
defined plan. or give place to objections that he had
neglected one another phase OF the subject, the
story touches with proportionate attention every
point of value interest. IL is at once historical
and critical and gives ample and delightful view
OF the external life and inner spirit OF the muse In
her earliest earthly home for there Is ancient
poetry that is poetry save that OF Greece. Admira-
BILE translations make up great part of the two vol
umes. This happy bit from the authologys Of
Xerxes casting a Persian robe on the dead body Of
Leonidas, though rather too much in the nature of
mere conceit to be fair example Of the spirit OF
the poets. will give indication of the skill and
vigor of the translations abundantly furnlshed-
Seeing the mar mastyrea ,, corpse of spartas king
Xerxes around the mighty limbs did fling
Then from the shades the glorious hero cried:-
mot mine IA traitors guerdon 'Tis my pride
This shield upon my grave to
Forbear
Your Persian gifts; a Spartan will go
To death below"
This new translation OF the song Of Harmodius
and Aristogiton is given as Professor Coming
toni
In q wreath of myrtle I'll my Glaive,
Like Harmodus and Arstogitou brave
Who striking the tyrant down d.
Made Athens a freeman's town
Harmodius our darling thou not deadi
Thou vest in the isles Of the best tits said.

And Tydides Dionede.

Like Harmodius and Aristogiton brave,

Southern people to see for themselves how good
a paper THE WORLD is and how worthy # is
Of their SUPPORT. f
On the lst Of May, ls76, the ownership and
sontrole OF TIE WORLD PASSED into the hands
Of the undersigned, under whose absolute and
untralnmelled directions THE WORLD has
ever since remained and now remains
During the whole Of this time THE WORLD
has labored patiently and perseveringly for he
accomplishment Of two objects in politics Of
paramount interest to the Southern people.
]. The restoration OF Local Self Government
at the South.
II. A Real Reform Of tho Civil Service. in
such wise as to destroy the political machines
under the operation of which it has come to
pass that the people are taxee to support politi.
cal parties whereas political parties have no
other reason OF being except to lessen the bur.
The FIRST OF these objects have been triumph.
antly accomplished. AL intelligent Nortten
men now admit that all parts ofthe country
were ~ deeply interested ~ the SOut in seeing
it Won AcOrrupt snd anti. Democratic govern
meut in the South was permanent peril to the
ascendancy oftrue American principles in the
Federal Government and therefore to the peace
and honor Of tue WHOLE people.
The second political object for which THE
WORLD contends still remains to be fully ach.
ievsd The actual Administration began it's
career with excellent promises in this ,lirec
ton Of which it is sufficient to say that they
have been AZ yet only in part redeemed. THE
WORLD for its part will resOutely support any
honest efforts to redeem these promises fully,
by whOsOever made, and will AZ rvsOluteIy de-
dOunco every Obstical thrown in the way of re
deeming them. from whatever quarter
1t seems to the undersigned eminently prOper
that he should ask the cooperation Of the best
men Of the South with THE WORLD in its Of
forts to carry out the policy here outlined He
believes THE WORLD to be u papsr which
Southern citizens and Democrats can recon-.
mend tn Southern readers as an infiuece worthy
and important to be brought to bear with con,
silently increasing power upon our national az.
airs in the interest Of truth, Of Justice aud of
armOny among our people of all sections.
1t is my desire to keep THE WORLD in a
lively relation with the best thoughts of the
South to the end that the best ideas, wishes
and feelings Of the southern po0ple NAV he
clearly aud fairly known TO the North. the East
and the West. Alike in private and in public
affairs the misunderstanding Of men by one an.
other lies at this root Of SO mnch evil that the
word itself has come t. be SYNONYM with

South to aid IL in bringing about a complete
meeting Of minds on all public questions be-
