FOR CONGRESS,
HON. A. H. HANSEIL
Novel Rending.
Let not any reader who seen tire above
caption tLink tl.ut we are going into the
high moral on tbis subject; no, for wo
own the aoft impeachment that we too,
are novel readers.
We do not propose to go. into tire his
tory of the Novel, but a brief historical
look into their origin, will doubtless
prove of much interest to our many tea
fieri!, and dl-rve to while away a tedious
moment.
The first novel of which we have any
authentic account, is one written hy an
old Roman writer, named Anlins Cellos,
the title of which was the “Golden Ass,”
Strange to any, though *wril ton in the
clay when Rome was most corrupt, and
when the language was neither written
nor spoken in anything like its ancient
purity, it is written in the very purest
Latin, and abounds with startling.inci
dent and striking illustrations of Roman
manners.
Then succeeded the black, funeral, pall
of the middle ages; the night of igno
rance, whose darkness was dispelled liy
the clear rising sun of Buccacio’s ge
nius.
lloccacio’s Decameron is . ono of the
few collections ot tales of the olden
time that will survive the wreck of ages.
Full of licentiousness, yet, full of beau
ty; full of sneers at pretended piety, yet
with a vein of humble religion running
through the whole. Boccacio may well
be called the prince of Italian Novelists.
Down, down to the Inter times through
a long succession of dull, dreary years,
until we come to the humble, unpretend
ing Novel of "Robinson Crusoe.” What
hoy has not dwadt with delight over its
fascinating pages? Who has not won
dered what made that single foot print
in the sand ? What boy liuh not pictur
ed to himself an ideal island, and a sav
nge, good in an Friday? Wo pity the
hoy who has never rend Robinson" (It tr
soe, the best written, the must vividly
characterized Novel of its day.
Then to Alts. Rftdclifie’s Novels. These
like the Ghost in (Runlet, are for the
most part, not of this earth. Depending,
ns they do, upon .some supernatural ma
chinery, thunder arid lightning, demons,
clanking chains, halls of lire, rttindd cas
tles, mysterious murders, and no plot, |
Urey are the host sample of the crazy
Novel,
Then to Miss Rainey. She, the mod-,
e»t little girl, never finding ' that she
could write, until the great hearted,
groat big man Dr. Johnson, patted her
on the head, ami told ber in words of
sweetest praise; "Why, my dear, you
are a genius I’’ Her Novels are not
much read now, but they ate full of in
terest to the student who would fully
know and understand tl.e manners and
customs of “Merrio Eng'aml” in the days
of Johnson Garrick and Burke.
Another half century, and we come to
the palmy days of Novel writing. Fi,-I
ding and Smollett, two of the greatest
names that adorn the History of Brig
land, had now commenced their inimita
ble descriptions of English life and Eng
tish manners. Volnmft after volume rob
ed from their p<*ns; works, which, though
disfigured with too much that Would call
a blush u> a lady’s cheek, yet, are writ
ten with so much power, such a vivid
knowledge of the human heart,-so pow
«rful a command of language, that leav
ing out their scandalous licentiousness,
we are tempted to call tjhem the best
Novels iit tbc English language. ‘"Jo
seph Andrews,’ - "Tolu .Jones',” arid ".Jon
sthan Wild” arc among the best tbat
Fielding wrote. "Peregrine Pickle,”
"Roderick Random,” “Adventures of Fer
dinand Count Fathom,” and roany’olhei's
are the solid basis upon which the fame
of Smollett shall securely rest.
But we must hasten on to the produc
tions of the "Great Wizard of the North,”
Sir Walter Scott.
Scott, first trod tire paths of Metrical
Romance, in which walk he prod, erd
"Alarmion," “The Lady of the Lake,”
"Lay of the Last Minstrel,” arid m»uy
other pieces of decided inferior merit.—
Then came bis first great work, which
lie culled "Waverly, or Sixty Years
Sineo." "As thick, as forest 1c ;ves in
Vallambrosa,” fell his other Novels from
the press. AH his works are too famil -
iar to oor readers, to give any enurnc: a
tion of them. Critics arc very much di
vided in opinion as to which is bis best
work. In our humble judgment, his
"Ivauhoe” as a descriptive Novel, and
his "Guv Ma mering” as" a powerful de
lineation of Scottish manners, are deci
dedly hie best works.
AVe have left so little space for the.
consideration of the Great M isters ol
Fiction, in tr. <*. rn time-', that wc shall
'be compelled to close for this week. In-1
! deed, what we commenced as a condcns
j ed newspaper article, has swollen almost |
| into the magnitude of an es.;ay. In our !
next issue we shall speak of Thackeray,
| Dickens, Collins, Hawthorne, and Miss
I Bronte; and wc hope that or,r readers .
;vv II pardon oh that we linger lovir, 'y
* and reverent' over the pages at them
1 itufhoru who have written nothing that
• would cause the most fastidious to blush
and who have written nothing that
j shoifldmot make us wiser and better men.
A New Invention.
\ This is certainly a progressive age;
; iho inv'irtive gr> ins of ii an is wondfer
; ful. Everyday new disenvet ies in the
arts and sciences arc made—a'! of which
| terra to the comfort conv< nie' ce and j
happiness of the world. And weare do
j lighted .to record the faet, that our own
| little county of Brooks, >’s contributing;
to those many wonderful discoveries'.
} One day last’week Mr. W. S. Wattles
! called at our office, threw off Ida coat. 1
, and to’our utter astonishment, stood be
j fore ns arrayed, not in mailed armor,
! but in a" harness arranged for carrying
upon tin* batik an umbrella, to shield
delicate man from the rays < f the sun
I whilst engaged in plowing Mr. Watit.f
--j manufactured the harness tor the invert
! tor, a planter of Brooks. It "consists of
jan iron pouch securely ’ashed t > the
j hack by numerous straps buckled tight- !
‘ ly about the body; the pouch receives,
; the handle, and the umbrella is held se.j
etirclv over the head of the plowman !
Ibis discovery is in its infancy, and
doubtless Quprovcments will lie made up
on it; in fact we have .already heard of
suggestions, vvnieh would he of benefit
J —the most important one being advunc
j ed by ono of our oldest, most respected
j and successful planters. The inventor
! of this wonderful contrivance, it is pre
i smned, will secure a patent at an early.
!" day.
| Some of our citizens, however, are dis
! posed to ridicule this innovation upon
! the old custom of farmers—that of bid
j ding de fill nee to the warm rays of the
| sun; they Bay that it is a lazy man's con
| trivahcc, and use ;many other harsh and
ungenerous remarks in reference to it
I Now, we think this is wrong'; the inven
j tor, doubtless, spent many days of pa
tient drought arid experiment before lie
i reached the goal of Iris ambition, and to
! be ridiculed by those who cannot appre
the importance of his wonderful dis
l oovery, is too bad .
j A mischievous friend at our elbow
■ suggests that it would not he a bad idea
jto Yu, "nisli cattle umbrellas whilst they
vie grazing. He says liie warm sun
| has a tendency to change the original
color of their hides. This, wo think,
slanderous of those who ghalbpjotr the
'’"Plowing Umbwellas,”for it is an intuna
tion that they are afraid of having their
skins tanned by exposure to the sun.—
In conclusion, wo suggest that tie
"Brooks County Agricultural Society. -
take into eons' i niioir this new and won
derful invention.
Let Justice be Done.
We would call the atteutiou of the '
editor of the Live Oak (Fla.) Advertiser,
ami our Savanusb cotcrnporaides who'
copied from sat'd piper, to llie injustice
done to one of the citizens of Brooks
enemy.
We know that the correspondent, who
ftl'nis ed the pirnienlai s ill ref re nee to I
the capture of the negro who lundered
Mi. Bell, ol Hamilton C in ly. Florida,
by Mi- Wilson, ol Brooks, was entirety
m uniformed. Mr. Wilson ‘captured the
negro, and brought him to Quitman to
be put in ja | here, but t e prison was
not thought to be safe, and be wont with ;
him, or sent him hack to Jasper, Florida.
As to tla> negro "loitering” or being
“harbored” about Mr, Wils n’s place, dl
vvJio know him, are satisfied that he is in
capable ol doing anything to defeat the
i nds of justice; and no man in our
coil ty would more w llingty d-vote Ins
time and labor to the maintenance ol
g#<>d order, aird t i the just execution of
the laws.
We hope that the Live Oak Advertiser
arid other journals which gave eircu a
tion to the offensive paragraph referred
to, will make th. ‘amende honorable.
The Second .Meetins
The second meeting of tlie “Brooks
County Agricultural Society,” was lu id
in this place ou Saturday last, and, we
regret to say. that the meeting was but
sliinly attended*
Numbers of our Merchants arc engag
ed hr agricultural pursuits; they also
depend in a gr eat n , mire for their
prosperity upon the Success of the plan
ter, yet, we do not see their names ou
the roll, nor yet, their familiar faces at
the meetings of the Society. Can it bo
rmssible that an organization of such i .
estimable benefit to our County is to be
allowed to languish, aud to die for the
want of the proper interest? We hope
not; and we still further hope that by
the next Meeting, to be able to publish
the names t>f every man in Quitman, and
of every man in Brooks County who
takes an iutercst in planting, as belong
ing to the "Brooks County Agricu’turaJ
