LITERARY NOTICES.
“ The Book of the Sonnet.” Edited by
Leigh Hunt and S. Adams Lee. Roberts A
Bro., Boston, 1807, Ac.
About, two years before the death of Leigh
limit, which occurred in 1860,his kinsman, Mr.
8. Adams Fee, of Pennsylvania, suggested to
him the preparation of a work upon the Italian
and the English sonnetteers. Pre-eminently
qualified for thin task Mr. Hunt at once re
'<ponded to the suggestion ; and we have tlic
result ol bis labor evidently pursued con amove
in the admirable essay on The Bonnet— illus
trated by copious, and tasteful selections which
occupy two-thirds of the present, volume.
Jlis treatise is exhaustive, yet not diffuse,
learned, vet free from pedantry, enthusiastic,
but remarkably judicious. That peculiar charm
o! style which distinguishes almost everything
that Hunt has written, and which may lie al
tribtitcd to his naturalness and purity of in
sight, is quite as conspicuous in this, his latest,
as in any of his earlier performances.
Beginning with the Italian inventor of the
sonnet, Friar Gulttone, of Arezzo, he traces the
various forms and combinations of the subtle
as elaborated by the genius of Ciuo

No pliase of the subject, possessing
the remotest interest to scholarly inquirers, lias
been omitted.
Then, in the same thorough and appreciative
manner, the Bonnet and Sonnetteers of Great
Britain are discussod, from Wyatt, Sydney and
Shakspeare to the magnificent “ Sonnets from
the Portuguese” of Mrs. Barrett Browning.
‘ Touches of delicate and minute criticism,
which may be deemed a little dilettante by some,
(as in the case of the remarks on Milton), are
interspersed with vigorous and healthful mani
festations of the broadest poetical insight, so
that one rises from a perusal of the Essay, at
once interested, and convinced, instructed and
entertained.
We do not, in tine believe that any really un
prejudiced person can examine this logical and
elegant defence of the Sonnet, and its cultiva
tors without acknowledging that the deprecia
tory language of its enemies, from Sam’l. Jobn
-Bon downward must be regarded as the offspring
of narrow-mindedness and literary bigotry.
So far as Mr. Hunt is concerned, this essay
fitly crowns a long life of the worthiest intel
lectual toil, —the fruits of which are being
gladly recognized at las! by all parties in Eng
land, while in the United States only such
writers (as the Criticaster , who at present dis
graces the editorial columns of the New York
Home Journal) would venture to allude to him

Bsf’ul ol American Sonnettc’iv, Mr.
Hooker, of Pliikalelphia is awarded the
UPce; but of our own poets—Simms,
v \Timrod aud Hayne are especially mentioned.
We cannot resist the pleasure of extracting a
few brief passages of the criticism on these three
authors.
Os Mr. Simms, it is said :
“The most salient of the irregular Son
netteers of the South, is Win. G. Bimrus. * * *
His Sonnets arc of every variety of construction.
* * Their chief mere resides in the character
of the thought, which is seldom otherwise than
strong and perspicuous.
“A rugged, impetuous power, a passionate
intensify of feeling, risiug almost into vehe
mence, leave the author no time to consider
* the proprieties of verse,’ he rushes on with
the energy of tiie Improvisators , so that often
he makes use of the sonnet as a stanza, the
limit of fourteen lines appearing to be insuffi
cient to the full exercise of ids imagination and
fervor, &o.”
Mr. Timrod’s Sonnets are described as “ full
of richness and grace of imagination, beauty of
thought aud a warm, natural glow of seutiment
aud feeling,” while a considerable space is ap
portioned to the verses of Mr. Hayne, who
has cultivated the Sonnet more assiduously
than any other writer in this country perhaps,
with the solitary exception of the author of ■
Leonor dc Guzman and Francesca da Rimini. "
” Mr. llayne’s Sonnets,” says tiie Essay,
“ treat ot the whole range oi subjects to which
the Sonnet may lie properly applied. In the ''
selection of topics, lie exhibits the rare tact
and judgincut of the true Sonnetteer; since
there are certain topics only that fall within
the range of this form of poetry.
“ Simple, passionate, direct, neither over- '
loaded.with ornament, nor without its graces— \
each one of his little poems stands before us as ,
a complete work in itself, owing nothing to an 1
epigrammatic turn of surprise, nor to the too
ponderous weight of the last line, j i
“His political Sonnets are filled with martial
vigor, his philosophical Sonnets are imbued
with serene thoughtfulness, and his personal
.Sonnets are touching with the tender self-denial j
of pure friendship.”
Os this truly Recherche work let us say, iu [
conclusion, that as a specimen of typographical ,
elegance, it cau favorably compare with the c
most beautiful issues ot the London and Edln- >
burg press. i
It may lie proper likewise to observe that
“ the book ”is printed, merely, not stereotyped '
—that there are but one thousand copies for
sale, and thus it will soon be classed with the
lud most unique literature of our day.
The Riverside Magazine for Young Peo
ple, with Publications by Messrs. Hurd &
Houghton.
Messrs. Hurd & Houghton, publishers, No.
459 Bloome street, New York, have just issued
the first (January) number of their “ Riverside
Magazine for Young People,” a beautiful
monthly, with a cover and designs printed In
colors, and illustrations in the highest style of
art, and filled with original communications,
suited to the capacity of children, from young
folks just about to leave the nursery up to
youths in their inquisitive teens. It is a work
the mere sight of which might well cause any
boy or girl of intelligence to clap tbeir hands
with delight, for while it gratifies the eye, the
mental tastes and ability of juveniles of every
class are consulted, and the variety of topics
pleasingly discussed Is wonderful.
There are historical legends, brief biogra
phies, fairy tales, stories of every day life, ac
counts of the habits of birds, fishes, insect?
and animals, pictures of the habits and man
ners of different parts of our country, humor
ous verses and songs, with the music attached.
In one word, “The Riveiside” promises to
be the completest periodical of the sort ever
published’. Specimen copies may be examined
it Mr. Oates’ Book Store, Broad street.
Iu this connection, we would call the atten
tion ot readers to the graver publications of
Messrs. Hurd Sg Houghton , who are now the
Proprietors of the famous Riverside Press, and
who, besides their issues of such standard pro
ductions as those of Hallam, Bacon, South,
Irving, Cooper, Disracdi, Scott, Shakspeare, &e..
&c., purpose soon to favor the public with a
superb edition ofChas. Dickens, In 26 vols., il
Instrated liberally by Cruikshank, Phiz, Darley,
and Gilbert. Moreover, they have made ar
rangements to reprint in New York the Nos.
of “ Loudon Society,” a magazine considered
tmong the ablest monthlies of Great Britain.
This work, (the Ist No. of which will appear in
February,”) is to “bear the imprint of the
“ Riverside Press-," it will doubtless be largely
popular, as the cleverest English Magazinisis
ire cn the list of its regular contributors.
Tiie Crescent Monthly, for February.—
This is, we think, one of the best number
which have yet been issued of this excellent

i A Beautiful Poem.—Paul H. Hayne sends
' us the following poem, which can not fail to
delight every true lover of song. There is a
plaintive, bacchant, weird melody about it, and

October, when perusing the words of the poet:
THE LAST NIGHT OF OCTOBER.

I.
Afar from the city, its cark and care,
Thank God ! I am cosily seated hero,
On this night of cold October.
And the flames leap high on the roaring hearth,
And voices—the dearest to mo on earth—
Ring out with the ransic of household mirth,
For the time is blithe October.

There’s something—but what I can scarce divine—
(Perchance ’tin the broath like a potent wine
Os cordial, bold October.)
Which makes when the jovial month comes round,
The life-blood bloom and tbe pulses bound,
And the soul spring forth like a monarch crown’d—
God’s grace on the hold October I
Hi.
Come 1 Sweetheart! open your choicest bin !
For who, I should wonder, would deem It sin
On a night of been October,
To quaff one health to his ruddy cheer,
(On the golden edge of the waning year),
To his eyes so bright, and his cheeks so clear,
Our bluff’ “ king Hal ’’—October ?
IV.
Away I witli Rhenish and sharp Champagne!—
’Tis not in these we must pledge the reign
Os the stout old month—October—
But in mighty stoups of the “ mountain dew,”
With heads like tears in an eye of blue,
But tears of a laughter sound and true
As thine honest heart—October I

lie brought me love, and he brought mo health—
He brought me all but—the curse of wealth—

And forever and aye I will bless his name,
While his winds blow fresh, and his sunsets flame,
And tbe whole earth bums with bis crimson fame,
This prince of the months—October I

In a sacred deli where bis pomps grew soft,
And his hues are grey and sober—

Who sleeps in the quiet of Christian grace*
Thro the nights of lone October.

And methinks when the moon is large end mild,
bhe smiles once more on the saintly’'child,
(As again for the grave we robe her,)
And I see white arms on the tranquil breast.
And a brow by the lips of Angels pressed,;
Ere she sank into arms of the perfect Rest
On that eve of sad October I

* Female Industry in the South.
A recent meeting in Richmond upon the sub
ject of making provision for the widows of ■
Confederate soldiers adds its iyupressive admo
nitions to the suffering which pervades the
South. No one who rellccls upon the numbers
now dependent upon private or public charity
eau doubt but that some permaueut provision
must be made for the relief of a class at ouce so
destitute and so dcserviug. How can this be
best done ? We will at least offer an opinion
which we commend to the consideration of
every Southern mau.
We must premise, that the annihilation of so
much property', and the signal reduction of our
productive capacity has thrown upon the South
ern people the charge of supporting a very
large class of non-producers. To provide for
dependent families was a light fask before the
war. The labor system supported its owu pau
perism at private charge, and there was very
iittle white pauperism among us. The tax was
too insignificant to be regarded.
While, therefore, we describe the uon-pro
luccrs who • now claim our support as the
wives and children of the brave men who did
the bidding of the South, we are compelled to
remember that they constitute a large part of
those who are and must continue in a desti
tute situation. Why? Because the destruc
tion of property and the reduced values pro
duced increases the proportion of those who
cannot be maintained by the labor of the men
upon whom they properly depend. To those
must be added a similar proportion among the
blacks, largely increased by ignorance, indo
lence and improvidence. How shall the South
-upport its pauperism ? We must choose be
tween systematic taxation for paupers and
pensioners, and organising somo industry
•vhich will enable them to maintain theni
sel ves.
How, then, shall regular, respectable and
productive employment be provided for South
ern women ? These employments may be
Classed thus : The fine arts of sculpture, mu
sic and painting. There is a smalt, though
regular, proportion of all educated populations
inspired with a genius for distinction -in
either of these professions. They are, ol
course, profitable according to the measure of
general intelligence {which pervades society. 1.
Success in this department is attainable by
women of genius, as well as by men, and
ihough many women may cultivate a talent
without acquiring renown, they may yet, as in
structors, render service to society by devel
oping a genius superior to their own. 2.
Painting, engraving and draughting for the
mechanic arts. This subordinate department
of art may employ many females, in coloring
maps, book?, window shades, and in design
ing orntraental figures for prints and patterns.
3. Mechanical and machine work. The chief
employment for female industry will be found
in tne manufacture of clothing and other needle
work.
Exporting ready-made clothing to all parts
of the world is a peculiarly American institu
tion. It is done, in great part, by the sewing
machine ; and, if the cost of labor be the same,
may be conducted ns well in one part of the
eouulry as another. The use of ready-made
clothing is spreading so much over the West
Indies and Mexico, that a good market might
be found at our doors lor the product of South-
ern industry. The manufacture of shoes,
gloves, bets and bonnets furnishes much em
ployment for women. Indeed, there is scarce
ly a department of the mechanics arts in which
female industry may uot be profitably employ
■i d. But tiie greatest absorbent of female in
dustry at the South—the most important com
bination of duty and interest which can now be
proposed to the South—is to employ female in
dustry in manufacturing cotton gouds. Not
only in miking the lower numbers of yarns and
ong cloths, but in designing and executing tiie
finest prints which the civilized world requires,
so employ tiie widows aud children of South
ern soldiers who require public aid, in the con
version of our cotton into the finer fabrics,
would be at once to solace—it would almost
avenge—the spirits of tiie departed dead.
We must be plain with our friends. Southern
ourselves in every attribute which constitutes
that character, we do not hesitate to say that
we have never dqne our whole duty either to
ourselves or the laboring white people of the
country in providing them with either educa
tion or employment. True, we have given
alms. No claim of want or misfortune has ever
appealed to us without receiving a reward. But
ilie laboring class docs not wish to be fed by
charity. It demands constant employment and
fair compensation.
ft is not, however, our province to expand
into a fatiguing detail a suggestion which inu-1
be carried out by others.
We commend tiie subject to Southern Legi •
latures. They must meet this question of pan
perism. They must ask rations of the Federal
Government like Alabama, tax their people like
Georgia, or sell their bonds at seventy cents on
the dollar ov less, as South Carolina has done.
They imy abandon the great duly of providing
for their meritorious r.nd suffering sisters of
the South to the irregular and unequal contri
butions of private charity, but if they are dis
posed to take up a system for the South, it wit!
be the first duty ot every Southern Legislature
to provide, if possible, employment for all ifs
people. In adopting tiie mixed industries of
agriculture, commerce and manufactures they
may find employment for every soldier’s soi;
and every soldier’s son and daughter. If the
Legislature of Mississippi, now in session, w ill
direct a committee to make tiie inquiry they
will report that it will lie cheaper to build a
cotton factory in every county than a poor
house, and they will have to do one or the
other. Tiie soldiers’ families must not suffer
ward or gy UciUiilig for suluistouci-.
The Parents of Edgar A. Poe.
Mr. Joseph N. Ireland, in the first volume of
his “ Records of the New York Stage,” alludes
several times to the parents of the late Edgar
A. Poe, concerning whom his biographers ap
pear to know nothing beyond the barren fact
that ttiey were attached to some of onr theatres.
The first mention of either is in connection
witli the history of the John street theatre,
where appeared on the 18th ot August, 1797, a
company of comedians, as they styled them
selves, engaged by Mr. Sola of the City Thea
tre, Charleston, 8. C., among whom was a Miss
Arnold, who played the part of Maria in tiie
farce of the Spoiled Child, and who, Mr. Ireland
says, was young and beautiful. The company
played only two nights, being on their way to
Philadelphia, after which they disappeared.
Nine years later this lady re-appeared in New
York at the Yauxhali Garden, this time as Mrs.
Poe, opening her engagement on the 10th of
July, 1806, r.s Priscilla Tomboy, in The Romp,
her husband following two nights after in the
part of Frank in Fortune’s Frolic. Mrs. Poe
evinced talent, wo are told, botli as au actress
and a singer, but Mr. Poe was literally nothin--.
On the Bth of September, ISO 9, 'they both
Played at the Park Theatre, or the New York
Theatre, as it was then called, in Monk Lewis’
melo-dramatie Castle Spectre, wherein they
twinkled as Hassan and Angela, shining most
brilliantly, let us hope, in the after-piece oi The
Romp, Mr. Poe as Captain Fightly, and Mrs.
Poe as Priscilla Tomboy, which seems to have
been a favorite part with her. Two nights later
she played Cora in Kotzebue’s tragedy of Pizar
ro, or The Death of Rolia, and Rosiua, in the
rustic opera of that name, her husband fillin'*
the part of Captain Belvillc.
We find him afterwards set down in the bills
Tor such parts as Lindorf, iu Prince Hogue’s
farce, Is lie Prince? Almorah, in the farce Prin
cess or No Princess ; Amos, in Mrs. Inchbald’s
comedy To Marry or Not to Marry, aud Captain
Cypress in Leigh’s comedy Grieving’s a Folly.
The insignificance of these parts, and tiie infre
quency of his name in the bills for (hat season
judging from the few which Mr. Ireland has
been able to procure, would seem to prove Mr.
Poe a very indifferent actor.
Mrs. Poe appears to have played much of
tencr than her husband. Mr. Ireland tracing her
out as Rosabella, in Dimond’s Foundling of
the Forest; Teresa in Vcnoni,a forgotten play
ny Monk Lewis; Widow Bellaire in Ailui"--
ham’B comedy of Who Wins, or the Widow’s
Chance; Catharine in Reynold’s musical plav.
The Exile of Siberia ; Eliza in Sir James Bland'
Burgess’ play of Rubes, an adaptation' of Mas
singer’s City Madam; Ulrica in the Free
Knights, a drama of Reynolds, and Rosa in
another of his pieces called the Caravan. The
season ended on the 4th of July, 1810, and with
it the engagement of Mr. and Mrs. Poe at the
Park Theatre.
These are not very important facts, perhaps,
concerning the parents of Poe, but they are
(acts nevertheless, and as such are an addition
to what we have hitherto known respecting
them. The mine of biography, of which they
are a thin view, might be worked to some ex
tent, we think, in the New York papers of that
period, which we commend to ttie careful ex
amination of Poe’s future biographers, if be
shall have any, as we trust he will, for reallv

Moschus.— A critic quotes the following line
from the Fourth Idyllium of Moschus 1 as a
specimen of the majesty of Greek poetry :
“But thou, like water, are dissolved away."
True, the line is found in a Greek poet, but we
think it is much more in the Hebrew style than
the Greek. Thus we read in Joshua: Where
fore the hearts of the people melted, and be
came as water.” Again, in Psalms: “1 am
poured out like water.” And again: “Let
them fall away, like water, that runneth apace.”
Can we persuade ourselves that Moschus was
not a student of the Hebrew poets ? But there
Is a still more remarkable line in this Fourth
Idyllium of Moschus, which ifc the following:
“Its owu marked ills sufficient to the day.”
Compare it wilh the following line from the
tilth chapter of Matthew :
“Sufficient unto the day Is the evil thereof.”
Moschus was born three hundred years before
the Christian era.
Missouri.— A dispatch from Bt. Louis says
motions have been made in nearly all the courts
in this city to rescind thet order requiring attor
neys to take the oath. The Radicals here arc
stjuuned by the decision against it. They have
not yet decided what they will do about it.

It was a bitter night; the wind blowing hart

margin between our track aud the river of fire
