THE GLORY OF LITERATURE. Variable conditions characterise the trivial as well as the important affairs and circumstances of individuals and of nations. In the case of the indi vidual this ebb and flow in the tide of events may be manifest in a month or a year; but in the slowly accumulating history of a nation, the devolopmentof these changes may require a century. In like manner genius is subject to changing moods, and there is an ebb tide and a flood-tide in the world of Intellect. The literal y value of an age is to be computed by the standard fur nished by either of these phenomenons. It happens in the history of a people that its native genius will fall into a state of dormancy. A strange lassi tude, a baleful torpor, creep over and paralyze the forces of intellectual energy ; the wing of its spirit seems to be broken. A vast and arid expanse of mediocrity extends over the entire period, with, perhaps, here an emi nence, apparently lost in the wilder ness, and there a solitary spring, with its waters of truth wasting away un heeded in the sands. This uninteresting period may be followed by one of imposing intellectu al activity. Imagination, resuming the robes of its celestial rank, will mount to the “highest heaven of invention,” there to hold familiar communion with the Spirit of Beauty in her divinest forms. The history of every civilized nation shows these variations of the literary barometer, this decrease and increase of the mental forces. A single century may witness the gradual decay of a nation’s literary potency. The crystal line waters of the Pierian fountain may gradually diminish in volume, dwin dling in their ancient channels until shallows only, and barren sands, and the crumbling wrecks of former splen dor, shall remain visible. In the succeeding century the fresh fountains of Thought will again be unsealed; the transparent and spark ling waters of the soul will gush from a thousand hidden springs; the swell ing current will rush impetuously into the dry channels, and fill them; the waste of sands, the stagnant pools of mediocrity, will disappear. The broad ening tide, overcoming every obstacle, shall again rise and crinkle around the beacon-like monuments of the past. By the force of rejuvenated intellect trophies of intellectual success will again be placed even upon the utmost verge of the attainable. Genius, living in the light and freedom of its royal estate, shall again create works, the peer of any that shine down upon us from the Walhallas of past centuries; nay, that shall be superioreven to these, viewed in the purer light of the pres ent, and measured by the standards of increased experience and broader cul ture. No employment is more congenial to a contemplative mind, or more useful in many material respects, than, the study of the literary annals of a people. Such a study will furnish us with means by which the moral standing of a people can be accurately tested. Moreover, the facts of intellectual de velopment, thus obtained, will direct us no less clearly and significantly to the ascertainment of that people's rela tive political position. By this u*ifail ing test the proper place of any people in the ranks of the grand phalanx of onward marching nations can be determined. Nor are the results of a wise and consistent study of this kind less interesting and valua ble when the mind of the student occupies itself, exclusively, with the measurement of a people’s religious and aesthetical progress. Let the student of literature enter the libraries of our own people with the spirit of a devout learner. Let him carefully examine the mental food prepared for our people by the press. Let him judge, fairly and critically, the taste of the masses, as indicated by the quality of the literature circulating among them. By doing this he will not fail to arrive at a point whence he can satisfactorily survey the entire field of the mental and moral culture of the day, and ascertain the influence of the above mentioned elements upon the life and manners of the people. Very subtle indeed is the growth of the moral forces that successfully up hold the foundation-pillars of a State. Equally subtle are the evil influences that operate against these sustaining forces, and which, unless counteracted in time, or promptly neutralized, tend to the gradual subversion of social order and the destruction of material pros perity. * A clear-headed, deep-thinking ob server of a people’s literature, will hold the key to results which to others will be wholly unaccountable events. In this connection it is proper to say that it is consistent with both theory and experience to hold, that a people who seek satisfaction and pleasure mainly in the gratification of selfish purposes; to whom the exercise of the grosser avocations of life is more con genial than the pursuit of aims which enlighten the mind, exalt the soul, and purify the heart; a people resting con tented in the worship of Mammon, and who would rather lay sacrificial offer ings upon the dark shrines of the Pas sions, than to sit at,the feet of the apostles of Truth, or to listen to the sweet and blessed evangels of the chaste Spirit of Letters—in short, a people disinclined to admit the unquestionable truth of the maxim that a people’s chief glory lies in its authors, is one that will, of necessity, suffer degradation by 1 Fv* -ii -I zfri- ~i‘ I II Hl ft If ——* Secular Editorials—Literature— Domestic and Foreign Intelligence. such injudicious contempt for the superior claims of the pursuits of the intellect. Willful blindness to the fadeless charms of literature is strong evidence of moral decay. Intellect, thoroughly cultivated, with all its splendid faculties consecrated to the service of “the True, the Good and the Beautiful,” is a king whose right to rule the world is a divine and unques tionable right. The ruler in the Em pire of Mind has limitless dominion, and the loyal hearts of men are his subjects. He rules by wisdom, and commands by love. His throne is the earth. The lordly elements, the impe rial potencies of nature, are his minis ters. The mysterious operations, the holy and omnipotent influences of the spirit-world, obey his call, and unques tioningly fulfill the behests of their master. The gems that gleam and flash around his forehead, are the crown-jewels of Heaven. He is inde pendent of time and of space. Innu merable cycles of ages feel the effects of his presence, and own the plastic power of his will. Eternity alone is broad enough, and deep enough, and wide enough for the full exercise of his sovereign powers. Profound is the wisdom and lofty the sentiment embodied in the following words of that grand woman, Mrs. Browning- “We want the touch of Christ’s hand upon our literature, as it touched other dead things. We want the sense of the saturation of Christ’s blood upon the souls of our poets, that it may cry through them in answer to the ceaseless wail of the sphinx of our Humanity, expounding agony into renovation. Something of this kind has been perceived in Art whenever its glory was at the fullest.” We can not close without uttering the profound conviction of our soul that genius, exercising its functions to the utmost, and endowed with every element essential to success in author ship, can never achieve permanent fame, unless the accomplished work shows, unmistakably, that the writer is loyally devoted to the cause of Truth. No laurel wreath, won in this arena, shall encircle with unfading glory the brow of the victor, unless its leaves have been dipped in the blood of Jesus, and the Spirit of Christianity shall bless it with sanctified immortality. Col. Avery’s History of Georgia. The publishers of Col. Avery’s “ Histo ry of Georgia from 1850 to 1881,” are the strong firm of Brown & Derby, 21 Park Place, New York. This firm has the recommendation of the Appletons and the Scribners, and are sole agents for the immense American News Com pany’s publications. Both have resided in Georgia. In its typographical exe cution this will be the handsomest Georgia book ever published. It will contain fifty steel portraits of the dis tinguished Georgians of thirty years— statesmen, journalists, writers and “Railroad kings.” It will have a splen did map of Georgia, with the new cen sus. It will give a list of the Georgia Generals and regimental officers in the Confederate service. It will have chapters on Georgia journalism, litera ture, and railroads. The book will contain six hundred pages, and will be sold on the subscrip tion plan, like Mr. Davis’ work. It will afford a chance to make money by canvassing. Agents will be put all over the State, and those desiring to canvass should apply to Brown & Der by, 21 Park Place, New York. The book will be ready for delivery in about two months. Georgia. State Agricultural So ciety.—The Society will meet in Rome, August 10th. It will be an im portant meeting. A circular received from B. W. Wrenn, Esq., that prince of General Passenger Agents, and one of the most popular railroad officers in the United States, informs us, that in order to accommodate all delegates, visitors, their friends and others who may desire to visit Rome at that time, a special train will leave Atlanta on the W. & A.. R. R., at 8 o’clock a. m., August 9 th, arriving at Rome about half-past eleven. Special excursion tickets will be sold at the very low price of 82.00 round trip, good to return within three days. An ample number of coaches will be provided for the excursionists. No doubt many will avail themselves of this fine opportunity to visit the thriving and beautiful “city of the hills.” The managers of the State Road are energetic and enterprising men, anxious to accommodate the people and to promote the agricultural and commercial interests of Georgia, so far as it is within their power to do so— an extensive power, unquestionably, and exercised beneficially for all. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1881. LITERARY NOTES AND COMq MENTS. Shakespeare’s works are being ren dered into the Malo-Russian language by a well-known writer in that dialect M. Kulisb, who has already completed a translation of six of the plays. —Those who desire to know exactly how Lord Beaconsfield looked in the eyes of friends in the days of his youth have but to turn to the republished sketches of literary and political char acters contributed by the artist Maclise some fifty years since to the pages of “Fraser’s Magazine.” This celebrated gallery of contemporaries is not exact ly a series of caricatures, though here and there the rancorous party spirit of the time has infected thedraughtman’s style. But there is assurdly nothing ill-natured in the portrait of the author of “Vivian Grey” standing cross-legged and leaning with one elbow on the mantelpiece, unless it be found in the preternaturally faultless cut of his high collared dress coat, or the effeminate nattiness of his lace wristbands. The curl upon the left temple, and the flow ing, wavy locks, are here to be seen in all theiroriginal perfection. The smooth, oval countenance, the luminous eyes, and the delicate and regular features bear out the reputation of the young gentleman for personal comeliness. —A bronze statue of Dante has late ly been set up in the Square of the Col lege of France, this being the quarter in which he lived when in Paris in 1302. —The new English Copyright bill, just introduced, gives a copyright to newspapers in respect of “compositions of a literary character,” and in general to any creative work of the chisel, the brush, or the pen. In the case of writ ten works, the author or publisher shall deliver a copy to the registration office to be hereafter established, fill up the necessary particulars and make due at testation, pay a shilling fee, and obtain his certificate. There is to be no copy right on sermons or lectures. The copy right, after registration, is to endure for fifty years in the case of all productions of the pen, and in the case of other works for the life of the author and thirty years after. Moderate quotations with an acknowledgment of the source shall not be an infringement. Breaches of the act are to be remedied by an ac tion for damages, and by summary power to enter and search for and seize and confiscate to the owner of the copyright all reproductions of his work, and to obtain a fine of £a. Foreigners may obtain the same rights as British subjects. —Col. I. W. Avery’s “History of Georgia for the past Thirty Years,” splendidly illustrated, will be ready in September next. Brown <fc Derby, New York, are the publishers. It will be a deeply interesting and popular work. —Two million copies of the revised New Testament have already been sold. —An international congress of “Am ericanists” is to be held at Madrid for five days next September.

The publication of such works at 15 and 20 cents is a striking feature of the times. —Rev. Frank L. Dobbins, formerly a missionary to Japan, has in press, “False Gods, or Idol Worship of the World.” —The French Academy did not award any prizes for poetry this year, all the pieces sent in being “deplorably weak.” —Chatto <fc Windus will publish the posthumous works of Mr. Arthur O’Shaughnessy, under the title “Songs by a Worker.” —The authorities of the British Museum will shortly issue their scheme for publishing the great catalogue of printed books. —Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote has been sketching in Mexico for Scribner'i Monthly. Mrs. Holman Hunt, wife of the artist, has written a little book on Jer usalem, for children. Mr. A. R. Spofford, of Washing ton, and Mr. Charles Gibbon, of Lon don, are preparing for Gebbie & Co., Philadelphia, anillustrated “Library of Choice Literature,” in eight volumes. “The Birthday celebrations which have been held in Cincinnati in the public schools on the birthday of some popular author for several years past,” says the Springfield Republican, “have been altogether wider in their popular effect than has appeared in the publish ed notices. The celebrations have been preceded by announcements in the schools as to the works of each author and criticisms on them. Extra copies of these books have been furnished by the public library, and each celebration has been followed by an extraordinary demand for the author at book-stores, not only in Cincinnati, but in southern Ohio over the region reached by the Cincinnati papers. Aided by intelli gent work on the part of the libraries, a healthy interest in authors, generally more talked about than known, has been developed by these celebrations in a large population ; to say nothing of the instruction given the children.” Dr. Richard S. Storrs’ oration on “The Recognition of the Supernatural in Letters and in Life” has been pub lished by A. D. F. Randolph & Co. R. Worthington has bought the stereotype plates of Dr. Barnes’ “Notes on the Bible,” and will issue cheaper editions of Isaiah, Job, and Daniel. D. Appleton & Co. have ready, “The Formation of Vegetable Mold through the Action of Worms with Observation on their Habits,” by Dr. Charles Dar win.

General Cheatham, of Tennessee, is writing a history of General Hood’s ad vance to, and retreat from, Nashville. Mr. A. B. Richmond, the author of “'Leaves from the Diary of an Old Law yer,” has written a new book, which like its predecessor, advances the cause of temperance. It is a story entitled “A Hawk in an Eagle’s Nest.” Mr. 8. C. Hall announces, through Griffith & Farren, a series of 220 short poems, called “Rhymes in Council; Aphorisms Versified,” written in his 81st year—“the result of knowledge based on experience and matured by thought, the proceeds of a long life.” Although Oliver Wendell Holmes talks rapidly, never hesitating for a word,he writes laboriously,crossing out, interlining, and studying dictionaries for the best word. “He is now prepar ing,” says a recent visitor, “an address to be delivered at the centennial of the Massachusetts Medical Association. The original manuscript will be a cur iosity. The small portion I saw had been entirely rewritten two or three times and looked like a series of hen tracks in the mud.” Grave apprehensions are entertained it the Vatican concerning Father Curci’s new book, the publication of which is imminent. Its drift is to expose the Cardinals, who prevent Leo XIII from pursuing a conciliatory policy. Every means has been tried to dissuade Father Curci from publication. It is stated that Mr. Sidney Lanier, the poet, author and musician, who is spending the summer at Asheville, N. C., is not recovering his health, and fears are entertained that he may not do so. His devoted wife is with him, and every effort is being made to pro long his useful life. We sincerely pray that these efforts may be successful, and that many years of fame and usefulness may yet be his. His death would be a great loss to the literature of our country. Georgia is proud of her distinguished son. Mary Sharp College.—The adver tisement of this venerable institution of learning, at Winchester, Tenn., will be found on our eighth page. For years this college has occupied a conspicu ous station in the front rank of the Baptist Female Colleges of the country. Its patronage is co-extensive with the Southern States. Its faculty embraces teachers distinguished for piety, learn ing and skill as educators.

It is noticed that all the government supplies, so far bid for this year, will cost less than at any previous time. In the matter of stamps, envelopes, etc., for the Post-office Department, the re duction is great. This is due partly to improvements in machinery and in competition, but in part, also, to a con viction that the Department is to be run on business principles, and that no unreasonable bid would be accepted. The methods of the Postmaster Gen eral may well be imitated in this res pect by all other Cabinet officials.
