16 ~ THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1878—SIXTEEN PAGES. AMUSEMENT! 'TION SALE KiID GLATES, BOSTON. Some of the Literary Fruits of the Political Campaign. J«.mrnnlist and Poct—A Masque of Poets—¥Who Is Who ¢ Richard Grant White on the Torture of the Innocents. ‘Three Workingmen---A Hit at Brazen Beggars. From OQur Own Correspondent. BosTON, Nov.13—The greativterest all throuz the fierce fight of the last political campaign brought out more real wit and humor, in the way of squiband satre jn vanous forms, than is often evoked on such occasions. To be sure there was ampie opportunity for it when Butler was the target, for there are so many “ points ” thiat can be made in connection with him polit- Seally and persopally. But the depth of the in- terest proceeding from the momentous erisis of the bour called out here and there a clever ef- fusion 1rom pens that usnally work ouly in the graver discussion of nationst themes. The sliarpest of these was by a young journalist on one of the oldest of tbe New-England news- ‘papers,—a young man whose scholarly attain ments are admitted by every one who i5 associ- ated with Lim, and plainly proven by lis edito- rial. It is a parody on Hood’s * Bridge of -Sighs,” and so * wickedlv zood 7 that 1 must give it place here: ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT. . One more anfRanste, Bottled again, Dead for a third time. Smothered with pain, Speak of him tenderly, Run not to teased If_hic'{l bt stay dead, Leave him 2t ease. - Make no deep scrutiny Into his mutiny. For he damaged himself. The help that he sought. and the votes that he bought, Drew from his 0w pelf. N ke not that voice of his, Lasnguage unchoice of hiz, Blackygaoard at best. Stir uot those lies of his; And from those eyes of o Dreadfully saring With cock-ey: Give nsa rest. - t Lay him ont tenderly. ‘Touch im with ca Stir not his cossednes: To get up a rear. Enowing hus checkiness, And energy evil. And hoping with meekness De's gone 1o the devil. ] Of course in the community where this was published there was a furore of approbativn FROM THE ANTI-BUTLERITES. To show what fine work the anthor of this squit can do in the bizhest strain of poetry, I have only to subjoin the following: LOVE'S TAIN. T've thought, if those dumb heathen gods conld B reathe, As n;npdees, strengthless, wooden things they stand, And feel the holy incense round them wreathe, And see before them offerings of the land: - And know that unto them is worship paid From pure bearts kneeling on the verdant sod, Looking to helplessneas for light and aid Because by fate they know no higher fod: Bow their dull bearts must ache with constant iz, And conse of ehame and fear to be finng down When a1l thelr weakness muet one day be plain, * "And fire avenge the andescrved crown, And reading my Love's letter, sad and sweet, T Knon;.h:l such 2 helpless, wooden god am I. “This poem Wwas first published in the Boston Advertiser several years—it may have been five years—ago. Two years azo aliterary critic of Boston svoke of it to me as one of the finest sonuets in the English language, at the same time telling me the name of its author. A lit- tle after this the poem was republished in the Golden Rule 3t the request Of oneof its ad- mirers. No one, to read the serious, dispas- slonate considerations of the public questions of the dsy which characterize the editorial ar- tides of the journalist, wowld think that one and the same brain conceived the rollicking B. ¥. B. squib and th¢ exquisite sonnet of *Love’s Pain.” All journalists arenot thus varied in their talents, but more of them than we think Dave had the making of pocts in them per- haps,—the prosaic realitics of life being the motive power which has set them to prose work. As 1 write the above sentence, & messenger ‘bands me & bookful of poets’ songs. It is the Jong-tatked-of, the Jong-hoped-for * Masque of Poets,” which A THAT WISE c.agxfinn 1 s for lterary epalates, the Sphinx of e Brothers, has";n-pucd forus. The book is ofié of the No-Name Series. [ts plan I bave indi- cated before,—that of a collection of original poems from various Engzlish and American poets, whose names are studiously withbeld. ‘This is the ‘“Masque? which suggests the title. Let vs ook up some of these songs and sce i we can guess the masquer’s oame beneath the rhyme and the fire of the thought. As I have hed a taste before of the feast in stray bils here and there while in the process of prepara- tion, I do not need to study the shects 50 lengthily as if I bad bad all these sweets suddenly sprang upon me; and as I Jook now over the pages 1 catch some of there- membered verseswith a fresh thrill of pleas- are. Here is a perfect bit called * Provencal Lovers.” Let me sive two of the stanzas as a ‘promise of its perfection: Within the garden of Beaucaire He met ber by a sectet stair;— The night was centuries ago. Suid Aucaesin, ** My love, my pet, ‘These 0ld confessors vex me 50! They threaten all the pains of hell Tnless 1 give you up, ma pelles'— Suid Aucassin to Nicoletse. Now, who sbould there in Hesven be To fill your place, ma tres-douce mie? To reach that #pot 1 littlc care! ‘There all the droning priests are met;— Al the cripples, too, arc tnere That unto shrines and altars cling To filch the Peter-pence we bring; "~ Said Aucassin to Nicolette. ‘Through the half-dozen more stanzas, TOE GAY, DIPETUOUS SPINT bolds its own to thie ¢nd, and at the end every Iyic Jover will ery, “ Who is the author? Who smes thus behiod this masque?” Who indeed? T have u couriction that. the fuessing on this ‘will be like the old, childish game which gives the initial letter of an object in the room, and as the guesser strolls about on his errand he is ‘warned that he s * burning,” or *cold,” as he nears or distances the object of mystery. We ‘may have the fnitial lctter here of esse and fi.x:c, bat I opive that another hand wrought 3y and gallant song than the one that will be suspected. Most readers will stray into the cold, and few, very few, will burn with the closeness of discovery. 1t is a practiced singer, but his masque is titted so firmly that even bis friends may not find him out. Avothier poem, in a very different key, bat de- lightfully lyrical, is * Ranning the Blockade.” The opening verse will give an idea of its ring: = Hove in the stayx, she lay. In the blockading und’l Of the North Carolina sounds, Deleaguered half a day. ‘The good ship Herr of Lynn; The still air shot ber in “The very focus of lizht; ‘Where the tea grows hot and white, A# if 1t had tumed to ealt Or solid rock, with g fauly That clipped the honizon's edge In 3 fong. irregular ledge. Heading this stanza and runping throush e ballad is a hunting chorus -n-hi%:h plays as :};‘;: \:z part, ':'ow and t.hhe‘:. as Efilwd's reiterated stanza “in “Haunt » Takea for 31} In al, o Bouse E {'RUNNING THE BLOCKADE™ 15 a ballad that one doesn™t meet nowadays at every tumn. “It sounds like Stedmian.r oy ‘out a chorus of voices as the ballad d’:rfl‘rals'anfl the SD“QELE l:unm that follow rup offthe tongue.

" —the swinging music of “Kearney at Seven Ripes.” Thed We come upon 8 change like this tn & poem about Concord a year after her Centennial celebration: The plain, prond little town, Amid her meadows brown, Sits lone azain, and the great world’s din Her thonght no more doth drowa. There is a sonnet called ‘“QUESTION AND NO ANSWER,"” beginning thus: Is it thics or Physics? Ah, that is the question: 1s it trouble of Conscience or morbid digestion? which we shall all hazard our guessing reputa- tion upon in the assertion that_ Oliver Wendell Holmes and no other is at the bottom of (’b. The book concludes with a long story in Byron’s Don Juan style of verse. It is a cleverly-told 1ttle story, Wwith dashes of wit, and satire, and bumor at the tricks and manners of the present da?x A ‘stauza will show something of its spirit: Here, things arc go sstonishingly mixed, And mortals stil] so little understood, Tt takes n enint indeed to choose betwixt The bad that's pleasaut and the bitter zood, Alwaye with perfect faith and certitude! Evil, verhaps, being nothing more nor less Than good in disproportion, or excess. And after mineling with this goodly compa- nY, and listening to their various songs, ALL OUR CURIOSITY RISES UP in the question of Who is who? Here is Jos- quin Miller somewhere, and somebody whispers that Bret Harte is of tbe company, and Wh't~ tier, and Holmes, and Stedman we know are behind the masques. But who is who! The conundrum waits to be solved. In the meantime here are the advance sheets of the Atlantic for December, with along poem of Stedman’s about Bryant,—a fine poem with noble Miltonian strains in it suited to the sub- ject. Oneof the most valuable vapers in the magazine, if only the people Who need it most could be brought to read it, is Richard Grant White’s, “The Nature of Music.” The peonle to whom I refer are the heads of families, ana-| the dircctors, committess, or whoever hus 10 do with the wholesale teaching of singing in public schools. How many VAIN, AMBITIOUS MOTHERS, who persist in spending snd wasting money year after ear upon what they are iwuorantly pleased tocall “the musical education™ of daughters without the least natural taste for the divine art, ought to be confronted with this: Among the mistaken notions that have long pre- vailed in repard to musicis the one thata taste may be planted and cultivated in almoat any young person, and that some skiil in musical execation may be attained by almoet any one who will begin early enough and practice long enongh. I say al- most, becase there sre some young people of either sex who, joining to their natnral incapacity of musica certam stolidity, 8 cortain_stuuborn- nese.—or shall we say a certain combination of scl(-knowledge and selr-respect?—prove so thor- ougnly imprecticable in this respect that it has 10 confessed that they have absolately no talent for IMUSBIC. Such as these, bowever, are regarded by the + holders of Tare exceptions, — 1he notion aforesaid as the vé ith samirable logic exceptions which, they say, qnite worthy of the notion it is intended to sup- yort, prove the rule. It is gravely proposed by thes? people that music ahould be made s par of the routine of early education in all schools. and that all, or practically all, children of adolescent ersons shonld be taught tosing orto play at sight. t is aamitied that they will attain to various de- £rees of praficiency in skill of music; but it is as- sumed that ali. or neariy all, of them will acanire some executive ability,—enough to take part in concerted music; at least enouzh to have made the training a valuable part of education. It would be as reasonable to expect all the girls to have black eyes, and all the boys o grow to be six fect nigh. The great number of people who are wholly with- out musical perceptions, and who are born without. even the germs of musical development, seems to be little suspected: as little as, until a few years azo, it was known fhat a very considerable propor- tion of the men and women Around us had not only no eye for color, but could not distinguish the resl di{l‘emncc between the very primary colors them- selves. It will take more than this authority, how- ever, to convince a ceriain class of dense dull- ards, . whose end and aim of living §s the outdoing of their neighbors, that their moncy spent is not only wasteful, buc wicked, a5 one of the means of cruelty to the young buman avimal. So, for a considerable period vet, we shall be tortured by **variations,” and nocturnes, and other **pieces,” BANGED OUT OF TIME AND TUNE, upon a long-suffering strinz-snapping piano, while our sympathies with the lttle victins sacrificed in this show business will add a per- ceptible moiety to our own torture. The other notable artieles of the month are Brooks Adams’ * Oppressive Taxation and Its Bemedy,” ana ‘‘ Three Typical Workingmen.” The author’s name is not given with the lat- ter. more’s the pity, for it is an exceedingly interesting paper, and very clearly preseats in the three iypes the classes of men who are just now very prominently before the public as powers for good and evil. Mr. Howells® “Lady of the Aristook” comes .on promisingly enough, though one gets a little tired of Stamford’s consciousness and his Gyiews In reading Dr. Forest’s story of the United States Senator who was led from the path of Tioncsty by *the other fellow,” and who dies at last from delirium tremeis, the unsophisticated reader gets an idea that this is meant as a true story of the sudden deaths of political men {rom what is called “overwork.” Itis a strong story, but unpleasant, as area good many of these so-called realistic pictures of our present life, by our present writers. This one, however, may be a necessary picture, which is what can- ot be said of a good many of the sxetches of cbaracter to-day. + 1n the Contributors’ Club, BOSTON PEOPLE, who pride themselyes on their Handel and Haydo Society, Apollo Club, and the rest of the musical societies, will be furious to find that Boston’s claim to be musically considered is cooliy and decidedly negatived. There is a sharp hit at the people who are congtantly expecting an author, if he happens to be an acquaintance, 0 bestow a copy of his book upon them. Butit is doubtful if the pconle who neea to read and take hints from this will be the right ones to do 50. Thev are a good deal of the same texture of character of the autograph-hunter, and when they die will find themseives entering the same little purzatory together for their sins azainst Joug-suffering authors. With which pious prophecy I will leave them to the tender mercles of the Atlantic contributor. N.P. A THE LECTURE. To the Editor of The Tribune.

Many was the party we recsll, which heart; Started forth to spend the ploasant day, And, with feelings very happy, pallsds merry Seng s flew the homewura ride away. “Winter's now before ue. and will soon be o'er us, Wich his suowy skies and darkened air.
