“The age of true poetry is not yet dead,”
is a remark that has become so general when
ever a poem of more than ordinary merit
appears, that it seems to be stereotyped upon
the brains of writers. No one who conde
scends to read the poets, who are so unfortu
nate as to live and write in our late day, can
with an unbiased mind, say that the “divine
afflatus” is not still extant. We need not look
beyond onr own country for confirmation of
this fact. We have souls now among us which
are near akin to “ grand old masters”—those
Whose dt« am so 't-’Up-” li« g-r
Tbrouga the «o rtdors of tuno.”
The author of “ Thanatopis” struck a key
in human sympathies that will echo so long
as there is a heart left to palpitate in unison
to its sentiment; and we will have to go very
high up Parnassus to find a production that
excels "Evangeline;” while, again,the author
of "Maud Muller,” in bis straight-breasted coat
and broadsbrimmod bat, while he may not be
a Byron, is infinitely superior in the pure
morality of his sentiment, if notin exquisite
mechanical execution. lu fact, our country
is vibrating with a pulse of song which would
flow proudly through the veins of a people < f
any nationality. We are not of the number
of those who bold that a poem cannot shine
save in “the light of other days.” Old poems
are often like old people, wonderful as much
ou account of their age as for any intrinsic
merit; though we acknowlede that there must
be some merit in a poem that will carry it
down through the changes of opinion inciv
dent to a half dozen centuries.
Oi Mr. Tennyson, as an author, the world
knows perhaps as much as we do, though we
doubt if the world has come to the same con
clusion in regard to his standing as a poet. We
do not think a nobler poet than be has ever
lived. This may sound harsh to those who have
worried through a dusty Illiad which has stood
upon the library shelf for years untouched ;
bat with all due deference to those who may
have an opinion on the subject we assert it
nevertheless.
We doubt if any poet has ever been more
soundly berated, more unjustly, if not spite
fully, criticised, or more ludicrously parodied
than he. But in spite of all bis most insignifi
cant production lives and will live down the
breath of criticism ; and the time is coming
when he will take rank second to none, and the
world will bind around his grave-stone the bays
it refuses his brow while living. Bis great sin
no doubt lies in hie not following the old beaten
path that poets have sung over since the days
of Homer. For this we prize him. He has
thrown the garb of true inspiration around per
sons in the humblest wa ks of life, and has
made them utter sentiments which will live
when the rocks have grown gray with age. He
has made the insignificant “Brook” babble a
er>eir that charms the least sensitive mind.
During the past year the critical world has
been thrown into a frenzy by the Laureate’s
latest poem of any considerable dimensions—
" Enoch Arden.” The unfortunate state of
our country prevented its falling into our
bands until during the past week ; hence we
may be excused for noticing it at this late day.
The poem has been praised, ridiculed and
abused according to the pleasure of partial or
impartial critics ; but the abuse it has receiv
ed exceeds the praise. We confess that we
opened the book with some trepidation, fear
ing that our favorite author bad fallen below
the standard he has long ago erectejl for him
self. But after a perusal of the poem we are
ready to pronounce it fully worthy of the auth
or of "Maude” and “In Memoriam.” It is a
simple tale of the love and life struggle of an
humble fisherman. We doubt if any author
save Tennyson would have dared to go so low
in the scale of society for a theme for his lyre.
But he has clothed bis impersonations with a
beautiful, but not unnatural garb, embodying
in them some cf the brightest virtues of hu
man nature, which may adorn the peasant in
bis hovel as well as the king on his throne.
lu Enoch Arden we have a true picture of
nobility, an example of the very highest prin
ciple of disinterested action, and the charac
ter is one that may be studied. Annie Lee
is simply a true woman faithfully limned.—
•• e think none of the characters are over
drawn. Though they glow with the noble
sentiments with which the author endows
them, the .sentiments are such as may be found
in the walks of real life—they exist in the
hind as well as among the higher grades of
society
In the mechanical execution the poem is
Strictly Tennysonian— smooth and graceful as
the babble of a quiet brook, and limpid as the
pure crystal stream that gushes from ns rocky
den. There is nothing in it that jars on the
sensitive ear, nothing superfuous and nothing
needeu to add to its perfection.
We would like to extract some of the more
beautiful passages of the poem, but we have
room for only the opening paragraph, which
as a novel description of scenery is not easily
excelled. We close this article with the ex
tract.

LITERARY.
A correspondent of one of our literary papers
writing from Paris says it appears that we shall
not see Prince de Talleyrand’s M moirs until
1838. As ho died in 1863 and ordered their
publication thirty years after bis death, they
ought to have beeu published in 1863. But he
bequeathed them to Dutcbe«s de Dino.(by birth
a de Talleyrand.) und she, upon her death, be
queathed them to her uncle's private secretary,
M de Racourd. She died receatly at N mey,
and bequeathed them to Messrs. Paul Audral
and Chatelain, ordering them not to publish
the papers for twenty years to come. The pa
pers fill three enorm, us boxes, and consist of
three parts : The Mem >irs proper, the appen
dix, and an immense correspondence. They
have all been sent to England for safe keeping.
It speaks volumes for the insecurity of person
and property in France, that all the important
papers of Messrs. Gu z it, Theirs, De Monta
lembert und Berryer are kept in England.
There is ano'her king to be added to the list
royal and noble authors. The King of Sweed
en has published a volume ol poems ; on the
title page is a vignette represeniiug the cipher
of tuat soveieign rurri u ided with flowers and
with this legend—Lillie Poems.
Mme. George Saud has tomffienced a new
nov<l in the Revue des Deux Mondei. It as
yet bnt irritates the curiosity of the reader.—
Her friends are exerting themselves strenously
to g-t the decoration ot the Legion ot Honor
for her. They say, not without reason, she
ought to have have had it before Mlle. Rosa
Boubeur.
The French E nperor has received one hun

Macaulay received only five thousand dol
lars for bis history.
It is suggested that Dickens intends to come
again to this countiy. It be is disposed to come
in the right spirit, we can say as Charles Lamb
did on a similar occasion : May bis passage be
as pleasant us the best among bis works.
Thu Parisian press announce that ex-Presi

SCIICNTIUC.
A curious calculation has been made lately
by a savant well known in Paris by his peculiar
antipathy to the fly. He collected 3,000 fl es in
a room, and on the floor be spread a ptiiver z"d
loaf of sugar. Al the end of four days he
went to inves igate the result of his experi
ment. There remained a table spooniul of
sugar. This statistic an, therefore, calculates
tba', sugar being at the rate of thirteen cents a
pound, a fly costs the country twenty cents from
its birth to its demise.
But he has failed to show that all the flies in
the country are fed on loaf sugar.
M. Carlevaris, a French chemist, has invented
a .new light, in the production of which he sub
stitutes magnesia for lime in the oxy-hydrogen
flame. His method has one advantage over ob
taining the fl me directly from the metal, being
free from the inconvenience due to a large part
of the magnesia produced by the combustion
of magnetism being thrown off in the form of
a fine powder which soon pervades the atmos
phere of a room. On the other hand, the new
method involves the use of very bulky con
comitants, which is not the case with the old
method.

DRAMATIC.
Miss Ella Wrenn has applied for the lease
of a Theatre in this city for the coming fall
and winter season. She is a fine actress.
The Mobile Theatre opens on the 2d Octo
ber, with Matilda Herron as the “Star.”
“Arrah na Pogue,” a fine Irish play, is still
on the boards in New Yoak, and has been
most of the summer.
WHO AUK ELIGIBLE}.
A correspondent, writing from Albany, says
the Macon Telegraph, asks the practical ques
tions, "Who are qualified to become members
of the State Convention ?”
There should, we think, be no doubt, or dif
ference of opinion, on this point Tim organ
ic law under which the election is to be held,
and the Convention will assemble, is the pro
clamation of Gov. Johnson. That document
provides that "no person at such election (to
be held on the first Wednesday of October,)
shall be qualified as an elector, or shall be eli
gible as a member of such convention, unless bo
shall have previously thereto taken and sub
scribed the oath of amnesty as set forth in the
President's Proclamation,’ etc. This, of course,
will exclude all that come within the excep
tions of the proclamation, who have not been
pardoned.
We recently heard a good joke says
the Montgomery Advertiser, on a gentleman
from Northern parts who not being posted on
Southern agricultural matters, was taken by
a planter to his home in the country and in.tn
ted into some of tbo mysteries of plantation
l.fe.
Among other curious things the planter told
him, that in one field be bad a plow running’
without the aid of either man or horse and of
course the stranger could not think of leaving
without witnessing so wonderful a sight. Al
though it was in the middle of a hot August
day the planter, foot back, started with him
to see so strange a performance, and after go
ing about two miles, his curiosity was grati
fied by beholding a female darkey driving
leisurely along a very lazy mule. He asked
no questions for a wonder, but expressed him
self eminently sold out.

TO THIS BUSINESS PUBLIC.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 2d, 18G5.
Sometimes,"in the courseofhumanevents,”
a vicious lapsus fortunes tumbles a fellow into
the dust of poverty, and leaves him “centless

spectre of despair, and drives

like Patience, he aits upon

samer. His clothes refuse to fit, his joints
become loose—hunger glnreSTrom bis sunken
eyes, and bangs out his sign board upon his
hollow cheek. Poor fellow I be "feels like one
who treads alone,” and goes about like a pet
booger, “seeking whom he may devour some
body.” Desperate predicament 1 Would you
not open your hearts and pity such an un
fortunate ? Yes, “dat” you would—pat him
on the back and say, “Poor dog ! poor doo 11
PoonDOGlI! (let me bellow the dog into
your auriculars like the “eternal thunder’s”
peal over the “deep”). But “poor dog” fall
ing from the fat labials of n sympathizer will
not make the heart laugh, the body grow fat,
or the red t money jingle in the poor man’s
purse. (That word “jingle”—oh I what de
licious conceptions it conjures up! Is n’t it
sweet, sweeter, sweetest, amoug ten thousand,
and altogether sweet? Its exquisite melody is
far more mellifluous than the beautiful har
mony which a “purty gal” gives us when she
goes to the piano, and grabbles the ivory, and
screeches awfully. Butl digress.) As afore
said, “poor dog” will not feed the hungry—
we like tears, but they are bitter. What, then,
must be done for the poor man? I guess
you will lose your sun-pathos (sympathy)
when this is asked, and become literary—tell
him, in the language of Mr. Lougtellow, “to
be up and doing”—“to labor and to wait”—
to dig, and, though penury may pinch, he
shall be enabled to exclaim, as did Mr. Daniel
Webster, “I still live.” This is good advice,
and you would be sensible for giving it. But
if a poor fellow tries, and fails to get employ
ment, what then ? This brings me to the
condition of my friend. "Hear me for my
cause, and be silent that you may hear.” The
vicissitudes of outrageous fortune have iwisted
him into a "bad fix”—his little all has been
wrested from him, and he is left, broken in
heart, blasted in hope, and bankrupt in purse
(raise your 'kerchiefs to your eyes to
couceal yuur feigned tears). " Bah I ”
say you! Do n’t that "bah” hurts.—
Alter grieving over bis misfortune until he
learned that grief “would not pay,” he bestirr

geston “to be up and doing.” Accordingly he
has been asking, begging obtesting, and sup
plicating for a situation. The augel of indus
try has troubled the waters, but no one has of
fered to help this sick one in. He is still
‘ non comeatibus in swamp”—no work to do,
•nd his old leather pocket-book still empty.—
Where hs lives, nobody wants nobody—and he
has, therefore, turned his face towards this land
ot promise - has come to this Gate City—the
home of bis boyhood, where rich j >ys gladden

hood bright, and whither numerous fools have
proceeded him on a like errand—to ask some
of the money-making men to give him some
thing to do, and to pay him to do it.. Now be
gin with one accord to make excuse. Tell him
that you are making so little that you cannot
afford to pay him anything—that your business
is so small that you do not need help— tbat
that—what? Now don’t put.on along, lean,
icy face and freeze his very heart. Don’t drop
your paper when you fi id that a beggar is “on

sees the good clothes that cover your backs.) —
Don’t tell him that be is inexperienced, and
will not suit you. In a word, don’t murder him
with a ’cold shoulder” blade. Atlanta is look

A Detective Dune Fob.—The Lafayette
Courier thus tells how a sharp detective of
that city was robbed by one of the locust swarm
of scoundrels now infesting Indianapolis.
The joke is on Detective Bedford. He was

B©-" It appears, by a tablalar statement in
the New York World, that the first three years
of the war threw back the commerce of the
United States just about as much as it had
been advanced by the preceding ten years of
peace. The last year of the war, if its results
could be fairly and fully stated, would show a
much greater proportionate amount of com
mercial loss to the country.
A son of Lira Elliot, of Lincoln, Vt.,
aged ten years, was ill for a year, and, al

It was striped and eighteen inches in length.

preparation ot a chess work which his friends
here and elsewhere have oiten urged him to
publish. It is a complete collection of every
recorded game ot his, played both in Europe
and America, with full variations, annotations,
etc. The book will prubably be the standard
