GOOD ADVICE.
The price of the article above mention
ed is generally so very small that the
world is ever apt to disregard it, if not
indeed to make it a subject of ridicule,
lint his Honor Judge Bartlett of our
Superior Court last week in this city, in
his charge to the Grand Jury, uttered
seme truths so timely and so forcible that
we cannot refrain from an allusion to them
here.
In that portion of the charge referable
to the General Presentments the Grand
Jury might make, Judge Bartlett advert
ed to the remarkable financial crash
which had oppressed the country within
the past six months, and no portion of it
so severely as the impoverished cotton
growing States of the South. He then
endeavored to impress on the minds of
the Grand Jury, and through them on
the planters generally, the urgent duty
of producing a sufficiency of corn for
home consumption. The advice was not
offered as new but as needed perhaps
more sorely now than ever before. Will
each planter, as heretofore, plant all
cotton, trusting that liis neighbor will
plant corn t Or will a ruinous experi
ence exert the effect of convincing at last
B7XRY one to do the dutiful and wise
thing? Just now is the time to decide for
the year 1874. Do take Judge Bartlett’s
advice!
. MAX MULLER.
The great Oriental scholar, Max Mul
ler, is of German birth, having been bom
of German parents at Dessau, in the
Duchy of Anhault, Dec. 6,1823. Although
bom and educated in Germany, he has
written most of his works in English, and
holds a Professorship in the University
of Oxford. His profound research in
Oriental learning has probably never been
equalled. Sir William Jones’ attainments
in this field, celebrated as they were in
his day, were not to be compared with
those of the German English scholar and
philosopher.
The readers of that admirable Maga
zine, “ The Eclectic,” published monthly
by E. R. Pelton, 108 Fulton street, N. Y.,
will remember a series of remarkable ar
ticles which appeared therein about three
years since entitled “ The Science of Re
ligion.” These were from the pen of Max
Muller. In the March number of the
Eclectic Magazine (1874) which is before
us, we find a still more remarkable article
entitled “ On Missions." The great re
ligions of the earth are sketched with a
master’s hand: the false are discrimina
ted from the true; and the immeasurable
superiority of Christianity is clearly set
forth. The three great religions of mod
em times exhibiting vigor and growth
are those endued with a missionary zeal
for spreading their doctrines abroad. Of
these there have been, or rather we should
say, are, but three; Christianity in its
panoply of measureless superiority and
doubtless divinity of origin: Buddhism,
still flourishing in Asia, and dating its
origin nearly three centuries prior to the
Christian era ; and Mohammedanism, lat
est in origin of the three, and already
verging to decay. The whole article is
profoundly learned and interesting; but
we cannot follow it further at present.
The March Eclectic contains also an
exquisite steel engraving of Professor
Proctor of England, who is now lecturing
in the United States on popularized as
tronomical subjects, with a biographical
sketch ; together with many other charm
ing articles on various topics of the
times.

BY CECILIA METELLA.
" Why do you love me?” asks my kingly lover
With head eoft pillowed on its throbbing throne.
With burning lips whose passion-kisses cover
The lips that answer softly to nisown:
“ Why do yon love me ? Tell me, Treosure-trove,
What magic talisman evokes this love ?”
Why do I love you ? Why do summer roses
Lift their bright heads to drink the evening dew ?
Not half such sweets the summer night discloses,
Not half so tenderly the zephyrs woo :
Nor dew. nor summer breeze can yield such bliss
As your lips give in cue long lingering kiss.
Why do I love you ? Deep within the forest
Creeps round the oak the glowing crimson viue;
When tempests blow, and storms are raging sorest,
but closer still its clinging tendrils twine.
Far closer, safer from the world's alarms
Rest I within the circle of your arms.
Who do I love you ? See the opening blossom
Turning its golden petals to the inn,
Catching the radiance from his glowing bosom.
Flashing its glances backward, but on one—
So answers mine the glowing beams tnat rise
Softly refulgent in your tender eyes.
Why do I love you ? See the shining river
Tossing its crystal billows glad and free,
ITS gl
Chanting its murmured melody “ Forever,”
As flow its waters onward to the sea—
So swift the siogiDg streams of passion dart
To meet the ocean of your loving heart.
“Hoie do I love you ?” Tendeilvand truly,
With love that, in my life, has known but oue,
Kervent'y, fondly, passionately, fully,
Deep as the ocean, constant as the sun,
Firm as the mountain, boundless as the sea,
Changeles and endless as Eternity !
ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE AND HIS
FRIENDS.
SOUTHLAND WRITERS.
We alluded last week to the elegant
volume entitled “ Living Female Writers
of the South,” and mentioned two of the
Georgia contributors to it. To give the
public a better idea of what has been ac
complished in the literary field by the no
ble daughters of the South, we proceed
to mention a few additional particulars
brought to light by this book.
The whole number of contributors to
the volume—i. e., of “Living Female
Writers,” avowed, when the book appear
ed (1872)—is one hundred and eighty-
three. These are “set out” in the volume
in the following succession: Kentucky
14, Louisiana 29, Georgia 30, Alabama
19, Mississippi 5, Florida 7, Tennessee 8,
Virginia 24, North Carolina 8, South Car
olina 25, Maryland 11, Texas 5. Among
these writers best known to the public,
we may mention Mrs. C. A. Warfield of
Kentucky, and her niece Mrs S. A. Dor
sey of Louisiana; Mrs. Maria J. McIntosh
Mrs. Theodosia Ford (lately deceased)
Mrs. Mary Faith Floyd, and Miss Fannie
Andrews of Georgia; Mrs. Augusta J.
Evans (now Wilson) of Alabama ; Mrs.
Mary Stanford (who visited our city a
year ago) of Mississippi; Mary E. Bryan
of Florida; Mrs. L. Virginia French of
Tennessee; Mrs. Margaret J. Preston and
Miss Sallie A. Brock of Virginia ; Miss
Frances C. Fisher of North Carolina; Miss
Annie M. Barnwell of South Carolina;
Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth of Mary
land ; and Miss Mollie E. Moore of Texas.
This exquisite volume is an honor to the
South, and all cultivated people need on
ly to see it to prize it; particularly Geor
guns, whose number of writers excels
that of any sister State.
A very attractive article under this head
appears in Harper’s Magazine for March.
At the beginning of the present centu
ry, authors for the most part could only
obtain entrance into print by some ful
some dedication to an aristocratic patron
who donned externally the lion skin of
litterateur, with naught beneath but
long ears and shallow pate worthy of the
counterfeit and the charlatan.
Archibald Constable was the inaugura-
tor of a new era in literature—that of
publishiug good articles at his own ex
pense, and thus opening mines of intel
lect to the people, and gaining a reward
in the patronage of the intelligent pub
lie.
Bom in Fife, tlie son of a farmer, Con
stable at the age of 21 years, opened a
“ small shop" in Edinburgh. Abandon
ing the timid, grudging system, he
went on the Christian principle that the
“laborer is worthy of his hire," and be
came the general patron of all promising
publications, often paying ten and even
twenty guineas a sheet for a review.
In 1802 Constable was selected by Syd
ney Smith, Francis Jeffrey, Francis Hor
ner, and Henry Brougham, as publisher
of the Edinburgh Review, the Whig quar
terly, which speedily attained a circulation
of fifteen thousand copies. This quar
tette of literary worthies met in “dark
divan” in the printing office, repairing
thither singly by back approaches, or by
different lanes.
A very good engraving of the “witty
parson” appears, as also one of Jeffrey
whose criticism made Byron famous; and
Broughham the “proud man" of whom
Lord Eldon said “he would have known a
little of everything if he had known a lit
tle law.” Lord Brougliham contributed
largely to the cause of literature, and aid
ed much in the success of the Penny
Magazine, besides being the author of a
number of volumes.
Engravings of Thomas Campbell, John
Wilson (Christopher North) Dugald Stew
art, and Hogg the Ettriek Shepherd, some
of whom are dramatis personte in the
famous Noctes Ambrosian* also appear in
the present article of Harper's Magazine.

lamu in the sense of the heal," King and

The Hackney newspaper Latin quotation,
“Tempora mutantur, nos et ninternur in
illis,\ is not found in any classic or Latin
author. The nearest approach to it was
“Omnia mutatiu," Ac., and this is found
in Bourbonius, a German writer of the
middle ages. “Smelling of the lamp," is
to be found in Plntarcb. and is there at
tributed to Pythias. “A little bird told
me,” comes from Ecclesiastes, x, 20. “For
a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and
that which hath wings shall tell the mat
ter.”
“Ifc that fights and runs away.
May live to fight another day."
These lines usually ascribed to Hudi
bras, are really much older. They are to
be fonud in a book published in 1656.
The same idea is, however, expressed in
a couplet published in 1542, while one of
the few fragments of Meander, the Greek
writer, that have been preserved, embo
dies the same idea in a single line. The
couplet in Hudibras is :
“For those that fly may fight again.
Which he can never do that’s slain.”
“Hell is paved with good intentions,"
though found in Johnson and Herbert,
was obviously in their day a proverbial
expression. Walter Scott ascribes it to
“some Stem old divine.”
“That’s a good time coming," is an ex
pression nsed.by Sir Walter Scott in Rob
Roy, and has, doubtless, for a long time
been a familar saying in Scotland.
Eripuit ctclo fulmeu, sceptrumque ty
rannis, was a line upon Franklin written
by Turgot, the minister of Louis XIV. It
is, however, merely a modification of a
line by Cardinal Polignac, Eripuitque Jovi
fulmen, Phacboque sagilas, which ih turn
was taken from a line of Marcus Manilias,
who says of Epicurus, Eripuitque Jovi
fulmen viresqui Ionanti.
Vox Populi, Vox Dei. The origin of
this familiar phrase is not known, but it is
quoted as a proverb by William of Malms-
bury, who lived in the early part of the
twelfth century.
Ultima ratia regum. This motto was
engraved on the French cannon by order
of Louis XIV.
“Whistling girls and crowing liens
Always come to some bad end.”
In one of the curious Chinese books re
cently translated and published in Paris,
this proverb occurs in substantially the
same words. It is also an injunction of
the Chinese priesthood, and a carefully ob
served household custom, to kill immedi
ately every hen that crows, as a preven
tive against the misfortune which the cir
cumstance is supposed to indicate.

FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS.
WESTWARD.
We ceuld cite a dozen instances of
stereotyped misquotations of popular
Sentiments as expressed by the masters of
English Literature. Shakespeare is,
perhaps, the greatest sufferer in this res
pect The author of Hudibras, too, has
suffered immensely. But we do not pro
pose to array these sins formally, or em
body them in an indictment against that
large depredating community known as
the “Quotera.” We ore simply tempted
to enlist in that army ourself from the
circumstance of beholding a Magazine be
fore ns. We cannot refrain from exclaim
ing in the language of Bishop Berkeley:
“Westward the course of Empire takes its way.”
The publication alluded to has the fol
lowing on its title page: “The (Saint
Louis Magazine. Julia M. Purinton, Ed-
tor and Proprietor.” So “Fashion” has
her journal in the Western city of St.
Louis! Female fashion, of course. And
what better meaning can be imagined to
the good Bishop’s expression “star of
empire” than Female Fashion ?
Job* M. Purinton's Magazine is lumd-
««ne*—adorned .With handsome engrav
ings—and the Editress, herself, is a very
handsome lady. The price is handsome,
w^Tpnly $2 per annum.
Bi ? ho P Berkeley's little poem from
which the above line is quoted, is a very
remarkable one, predicting in plain lan
guage our grand Republic on this
Western Continent. It was written about
the year 1718, and is often mis-qnoted
thus: Westward the stab of Empire
takes its way.

There are many phrases and quota
tions which are as “familiar in our mouths
as household words,” whose origin is
either unknown, or misconceived, and
without encroaching upon the sphere of
the works devoted to this purpose, we
mention a few of them :
“There is death in the pot," is from
the Bible* 2 Kings, iv, 10. “Lovely and
pleasant in their lives, and in death they
were not divided," is spoken of Saul and
Jonathan, Samuel 2, i, 23. “A man after
his own 116814,” 1 Samuel, xiii, 14. “The
apple of his eye,” Deut. xix, 12. “A still
small voice,” 1 Kings, xix, 12. “Escaped
with the skin of my teeth,” Job, xix, 20.
‘That mine adversary had written a
book,” Job, xxi, 35. “Spreading himself
like a green bay tree,” Psalms, xxxvii, 35.
“Hanging our harp upon the willows,”
Psalms cxxxvii, 2. “Riches certainly
make (not take, as is often quoted)
themselves wings," Proverbs, xxiii, 5.
‘Heap coals of fire upon his head,” ibid
xxv, 23. “No new thing under the sun,”
Ecclesiastes i, 9. “Of making many books
there is no end ” ibid xii, 42. “Peace,
peace, when there is no peace," (made
famous by Patrick Henry,) Jeremiah viii,
11. “My name is Legion,” Mark v, 6.
“To kick against the pricks,” Acts ix, 5.
“Make a virtue of necessity," Shaks
peare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona. “All
that glistens is not gold,” usually quoted
“All is not gold that glistens,” Merchant
of Venice. “Screw your courage to the
sticking place,” (not point,) Macbeth.
“Make assurance doubly sure,” ibid.
“Hang our banners on the outward (not
outer) walls,” ib. “Keep the word of
promise to our (not the) ear, but break it
to our hope,” ibid. “It is an ill wind
turns none to good,” usually quoted. “It’s
an ill wind that blows no one any good,”
Thomas Tassar, 1518. “Christmas comes
but once a year,” ibid. “Look ere thou
leap,” ib., and “Look before you ere you
leap,” Hudibras, commonly quoted,“Look
before you leap.” “Out of mind as soon
as out of sight,” usually quoted, “Out of
sight out of mind,” Lord Brook. “What
though the field be lost, all is not lost,”
Milton. “Awake, arise, or .be forever
fallen,” ibid. “Necessity, the tyrant’s
plea,” ibid. “That old man, eloquent,”
ibid. “Peace hath her victories," ibid.
“Though this may be play to yon, ’tis
death to us,”Roger L’Etrange, 1704. “All
cry and no wool,” (not little wool,) Hudi
bras. “Count their chickens ere (not be
fore) they're hatched,” ibid. “Through
thick and thin,” Dryden.
“When Greeks joined Greeks then was
the tug of war,” usually quoted, “'When
Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug
of war.” Nathaniel Lee, 1692. “Of the
two evils, I have chosen the least,” Prior.
“Richard is himself again,’’ColleyCibber.
“Classical ground,” Addison. “As clear
as a whistle,” Byron, 1763. “A good
hater,” Johnsoniana. “A fellow feeling
makeB one (not us) wondrous kind." “My

Goldsmith. “Not much the worse for

will Mrs. Grundy say?” Thomas Morton.
“No pentupUtica contracts our powers,”
Jonathan Sewell. “Hath given hostages

1791, though generally attributed to
Randolph. “First in war, first in peace,

Addison, the chief of English humor
ists, the first of ^essayists, finally added
that of a politician to his high literary
renown. He also attained great wealth
by a lucky stroke of fortune in inheriting
the earnings of an East Indian relative.
Added to all this, he obtained the hand
of the proud Countess of Warwick, and
seemingly to us, he had gained all that
mortal could desire to promote happi
ness. But even to him, it came not.
It was said by some Satirist that
“Holland House was not large enough to
contain Addison, his imperious lady and
peace.” Dr. Johnson relates that the
Countess married her distinguished suitor
upon the terms the Turkish Sultan used
to utter at the weddings of his prin
cesses, “Daughter I give thee this man
for thy slave;’’ and the imperious lady
regarded him as such. By his marriage
Addison became nominal Lord of Hol
land House; and from his residence there,
it first was made famous. Subsequently
it became the property of Henry Fox,
the father of the celebrated orator and
statesman, Charles James Fox, who was
afterwards renowned in history as the
great defender of the American Colonies
against Lord North’s tyrannous policy.
Since Addison's day, Holland House
has continued to be the resort of the
celebrities of England and the continent;
but to none does it owe its fame more
than to its early Lord, the great author
of “The Spectator” and of “Cato.”
