BACKWARD—A SONG.
BY J. W. liOBB, JR.
How sweet to remember,
When years have gone by,
And life’s dull December
Hath dimm'd the bright eye.
The scenes of our childhood.
When careless we strayed
Thro' the meadow or wild wood,
Or sang thro’ the glade,—
When bright as the flight
Of the fair sunny hour
Came visions of manhood,
Of glory and pow’r.
They may tell of the pleasures
Engendered by Hope,
But vain with the treasures
Of Memory they cope.
Hope is the swift lightning
That flashes afar.
But Memory the bright’ning
Of Youth's sinking star;
'Tis a ray from the day
Of dreams and romance,
Like the opaline glory
Of sunset’s last glance.
OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY.
LOUIS NAPOLEON.
BY J. K. J.
The third Napoleon, whether much or little
admired, was at least a person of interest Am
bition was his crowning heritage. It led him to
establish the Napoleonic dynasty. The game
was a prodigious one, and he played earnestly.
The game for a crown called forth all his ener
gies and developed powers of grander propor
tions than were promised by his youth. We
have, in his singularly checkered career, an
illustration of what may be achieved by one who
has “an eye single” to any purpose. He who
has power to concentrate all his efforts to one
end, does by such massing of forces as did the
first Napoleon by massing armies—he conquers
by detail.
Whatever of personal magnetism, whatever of
military genius, whatever of heroism, whatever
of persistency pertained to the man, was made
subservient to the one aim of his life. All that
he was and all that he accomplished is to be ac
credited to that ambition which empowered and
impelled him to be and to do—which made him
a Napoleon. It was this that sustained him in
exile and in prison,—that inspired his pen in
the production of every paper,—that made him
yearn for the shores of France during all the
years of Louis Philippe, and that led him back
at the close of that reign.
From the birth of the Republic, royalist though
he was, he seized Repub’icamsm as the ladder by
which to ascend the throne. This was the bril
liant period of his career—a period in which he
displayed the greatness of his power—in which 1
Napoleon conquered Napoleon, and banished
from the eyes of France and of the nations his
kingly spirit while, disguised in a hated garb,
he played the role of a Republican and won the
hearts of the people. From a chair in the Assem
bly to the Presidency of the Republic, to the
Dictatorship, to the Empire,—these were the
steady advances of a man made great by a tow
ering ambition—made ambitious by the blood
of the Napoleons.
Heaccomplished his life-work when he restored
the fallen dynasty. Then his work should have
ended, for when he passed that point in his
career, he entered upon a road unblazed by the
eyes of his ambition, and conducting—he had
not thought whither. If from his youth he had
aimed at more than was already done, he would
have accomplished the more. He had the power,
but it was not concentrated upon the extension
of the Empire. His last game was played to
entertain his idle armies, and was lost.

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
THE GOETHE ANNIVERSARY.
The one hundred and twenty-sixth anniver
sary of the birth of Goethe was celebrated by j men)
the Goethe Club of this city, at Gilmore’s Gar
den, on the evening of August 28th. That spa
cious garden was densely crowded—every seat
occupied, and crowds standing in the broad,
graveled walks, long before the exercises com
menced. The evening opened with the over
ture from “Jnbal” (Gilmore’s band), a spirited,
gay performance, which was followed by cornet
PICTURES, ETC.
At'Schaus’ art rooms on Broadway, between
Eighth and Ninth streets, there is much to de
light the eye and chain the attention—on every
side, beauty of design and coloring. Among
the most noteworthy objects may be mentioned
the wonderful wood carvings of A. Pope, Jr.
These are in bold relief on slabs of maple or
other ornamental woods, and represent wild
ducks, blue-birds, does, wild pigeons, etc., in
the most marvelous fidelity to nature, not only
in form and outline, but in coloring. These
birds are first carved, every feature delicately
perfect, and then colored in all the rich, exquis
ite plumage-tints of the real birds. These can
be hung as pictures, and make an elegant-deco

(notwithstanding the express announcement in
the morning and evening papers that no such
indulgence would be permitted); and even those
who deplored what Sims Reeves calls “the greed
iness of the public ” in that respect, could not
complain when the dulcet harmony of “Robert
le Diable ” followed the exquisitely silver mel
ody of “Schubert's Serenade.”
William Cnllen Bryant, “the Nestor of Amer
ican poets,” was the orator chosen for the occa
sion, and he was most gracefully presented to the attributed to Ribera. Such a grin of animal
assembly by Dr. Ruppaner, the President of the
Goethe Club. Mr. Bryant is small and delicate
of stature, feeble and venerable. His hair, which
falls low on his shoulders, is perfectly white;
brow massive, eyes dark and penetrating. His
voice is soft, low, almost feeble, and his manner
singularly devoid of animation and gesticula
tion. He delivered a chaste, eloquent address—
occupying about eighteen or twenty minutes—
and in conclusion, paid a most beautiful and
generous tribute to his co-worker, Bayard Tay
lor, who was to follow him.
Bayard Taylor, who may be any age from fifty
to fifty-eight, has a fine, portly figure, with a
majestic head and full, rather heavy face. His
hair is thin and dark, and he has a short, dark
beard. There is nothing of the quick, keen, ner
vous expression which was so noticeable in the
pictures taken of him ten or fifteen years ago.
He is a poet, and a poet of a high order, but
there is nothing poetical or iesthetic in his face.
He impresses one as a bon-l'ivant—a jolly, clever
club man, on whom fortune has lavished her
best gifts and a goodly share of creature com
forts; and yet we know he is one of the hardest
students and one of the most learned men this
country has ever produced. It was because of
his thorough knowledge of German, and his
masterly translations from that language, that
he was invited to grace this meeting. And do
we not all remember that he went to Germany a
poor printer, and traveled all over Europe on
foot? Mr. Taylor’s manner is quick, emphatic,
and full of strong, expressive gesticulation.
The “Cantata” (in German), composed for
the occasion by Prof. Wildner (words by Mr. E.
Leonard), was a very gratifying success — the
solos being most beautifully rendered by Bis-
choff (tenor), Sohst (baritone), and Madame Sal-
vrotti (soprano). Madame Salvrotti has a lovely
voice, sweet and powerful, which filled that im

bright wing or birds’ heads.
The handsomest hat I have geen was at Wal-

narrow scarfs, very tastefully interwoven, of gray

gold or gilt clasps and two large, loose blush-
roses. This was a pattern hat, and the price
was thirty-five dollars.

LETTER FROM CANADA.
We are at Rouse’s Point. Gone the phantas
magoria of Northern cars and boats—of masses
of over-dressed and under-bred people, with
here and there a stratum, refreshing and, alas !
too thin, of refined and intelligent folk. Gone
the boy who waked you at midnight stamping
down the passage-way and shrieking, “ JFarnut
meat!” and “ ripe, mellow peaches!” Gone, too,
the boy who drove you into fits of laughter by
day with his cry of “ Nice, double-jointed, Cali
fornia, hump-backed peanuts !” Gone stately
palisade and sumner pleasance, waving field
and placid lake.
“Does your trunk contain anything but wear
ing apparel?” asks the polite custom-house offi
cer.
“Nothing,” we answer, with the phlegm begot
of experience.
“ And yours, madame?” addressing a buxom,
gay-bonneted female.
“Not a thing but my clothes, upon my word
and honor, and they are all made up, and that
my Maker knows to be true!” she pours forth
with excited volubility.
We all looked a little shocked; even the offi-
orowded houses. It has been pronounced
scenic marvel,” and I think it deserves the title-
some of the scenes being marvelously perfect,
and others marvelously imperfect. The most
beauuliii scenes are tae “necropolis” (grand
funeral pageant, where Aouda, the East Indian
princess, is to meet her death), the “Giant’s
Stairway in tbe Rocky Mountains,” and the
“Lights of Liverpool.” As an offset to these
(which are really very tine), we have the “Union
Pacific Depot in San Francisco” (which is sim-

The mute, helpless attitude of the prophet

raging company of lions and tigers, is very tine,
and the heads of the lions are very powerful and
majestic. A horror creeps over the beholder in
eral others that are too outrageously bad to bear
‘ That is not necessary.”
We bowl away to Montreal. We confide our
selves and our luggage to the transfer company.
“I do not want to deceive you,” says the
agent. “If you make connection, I shall be of
no use to you. Your baggage will at once be
changed to the Quebec train.”
An agent without self-seeking ! The airs of a
foreign land steal over us. Is this Lord Bacon’s
New Atlantis?
We reach the depot; we are late, and the train
has gone. We drive to the Canada Hotel, where
we find quiet, neatness, good fare, reasonable
living, and no tongue but French. There is a
description. The ballet corps is very large, over buzz and hum of it ateach meal; vollies of Ion
roles of Edwin Booth, and I know of no living
actor who can at all bear comparison with the
little groups of pillars which form part of the
main shaft are having a new dress too,—a fine
coat each of make-believe, variegated marble!
Out upon the sham ! If the worshippers desire
to make their temple all beautiful within, are
they not wealthy or loving enough to gather
from their widely-separated beds the costly
stones, and set them here in testimony of their
devotion ?
But climb to the tower by the steep, ladder
like stair-wav, and Nature, beautiful this year as
last year, lies beneath your gaze. Nature hand
in hand with Art. Lines of fair houses, quaint,
narrow streets, waving tree-rows, enameled
garden-plots, the abrupt, wooded Mt. Royal,
rising steadfast and dark iike a warder in armor
close behind a fair princess, the wonderful Vic
toria bridge, islands verdurous and sombre, or
peopled and white with houses, and around all,
the great, sunny St. Lawrence. Scan it in de
tail or sweep your eye over the whole as you
will, each mood will be satisfied.
Next go to the Jesuits’ Church, whose walls
and ceiling are lined with frescoes, some beauti
ful, chiefly from the life of our Lord, occasion
ally varied by a martyrdom or an apotheosis of
the virgin mother, under whose protection the
Ville-Marie stands. The stone-gray and pale-
blue tints which prevail exclusively in walls and
windows, give a sense of repose, of height and
spaciousness, albeit somewhat cold and passion
less. Here the tinsel and paper flowers of the
tasteless devotee find no place.
The English Cathedral is a beautiful specimen
of mediocral Gothic, built partly of Montreal,
partly of Caen stone. The entrance is especially
noteworthy. Travelers say there is not another
such on the continent for unity and proportion.
Mention must also be made of St. Andrew’s
(Scotch) Church, an exact miniature of Salisbury
Cathedral, and a beautiful building.
Come, now, for a walk through Sherbrooke
street. You pass one stately stone mansion after
another. Through the long glass walls of the
conservatories, the splendid faces of tropic cap
tives, “where the warm light loves to dwell,”
look out at us “with weary looks, yet tender,”
and question, “ Have you seen our sisters ?” We
have seen your sisters, O exiles. We left them
in the flush of youth and joy, and their only
roof was the kindly sky.
Each house is set back to allow for the turf in
front—the fresh, living, green grass, whence
gem-like plots of blossom gleam. One emerald
mound is crowned with geranium in perfect
flower; the diadem fairly darts scarlet fire.
Now, call one of those smart, gay little cabs
peculiar to this city, and with a chosen compan
ion, who has flashes of silence as well as flashes
of wit, experience that nine-mile delight, the
drive around the mountain; and when it is over,
confess we did well to desist from poor, weak
words, and to leave the beauty to be realized.
It is seven o’clock p. m. Our omnibus has
scrambled down the steep little St. Gabriel
street to the pier. We sit on the deck of the im
mense, handsome Quebec, of the Richelieu Com
pany. On one side is Bonsecour market, a Doric
pile with its great dome visible all over the city;
on the other the Victoria bridge, now a narrow
ing line in the twilight.
In the rainy, gray morning, we near Quebee.
Once more we greet the grand, picturesque
heights,—once more we gaze up the narrow, as
cending streets where lies the dust of centuries—
the streets which are redolent of yesterday, which
are haunt id by the past, which seem to tend
away, averted and absorbed in retrospect, from
the ambitious young republic over the border,
exulting to keep its centennial.
Hail and farewell, grande dame ! Another day
we shall return to sit at your feet, to look in
your noble, heroic face, calm after fire and bat
tle, to hear your legends of the past. The Union,
of the St. Lawrence and the Sagueway line,
comes alongside, and we are safely transferred.
This boat is little in comparison with our late
big floating caravansera — cosier, more home
like. But it is not much we have to do within,
we sight-seers. To the aft we go, as it is still
misting and mizzling. There we find a young
couple with a whole April of apple-bloom dis
tributed over their cheeks. Judging from their
youth, they might be making their wedding-
trip; but we think not—they are a little too tran
quil. They are pleasant and affable. A young
Cuban-Englishman, with a suspicion of the West
Indian curiously pervading the ineradicable
traits of the Briton, is likewise conversible. We
all sit under partial cover and gaze contentedly
at either bank of the St. Lawrence.
There is not very much to put down, but it is
all new to us. We glide by islands; by little
villages protected and lorded over by their red-
roofed, white-steepled church, always set on a
hill or on some far-extending point; by high,
forlorn banks, painted and bronzed by the water
and the sun. Ever and anon, a little, foaming
cascade hastens down the steep to the river. It
is the snow-limbed Undine springing to meet
her native element.
Yes, it is all new; but a bell rings, and we are
but mortal, after alL We rise and leave it, to
eat that delicious, pink-hued viand, the speckled
trout; to eat beef-steak and potatoes and drink
tea a la Anglais; to eat blueberries, children of
the hill-sides of the St. Lawrence.
Two o’clock. The whistle blows. Travelers
collect wraps. There is a murmur that we are
nearing Murray Bay. Our journey has an end
with more than one sequel; this is the end. We
too rise and turn to the high green bluffs and
stony hill-sides, cottages on the crest, a little
bevy of carriages, carts, caleches, visitors and
hab'dans on the pier.
