Holland, author of “ Bitter Swoet.”” Thirty-fourth edition. New York: Clurles Scribner & Co. 1867, Reatly, we ought to pity the ‘daughter of Peul and Kathrina, Poor thing, she is not much of a ‘figure in the story, for Kathrina and Paul are too deeply con- scious of their ‘precious setves for us'to hear much of their darling; though this may be part of the poet’s art not‘to torture-our souls bayond the endurance of natural gymapathy. 1% is indeed suffictently bad to know that there is such a being as this child, and to reflect upon the inheritance of diseaso ghe bears in her system. ‘What anumber of morbid lives make their focus in her Qittle life! Her grandéather, Paul's father, was a victim “to insanity, He had cerebral disease to such a degree, Yhat his telusions wore reality and his realities de- Insion. He wasa rich man, bat cut’bis throat forfear of want. His skeleton-was in the closetof Paul's life. ‘Then Paul’s mother, ‘the grandmother of that poor child, also committed suicide, She had the tendency im ber~biood corpescles. For years it preyed on her and she prayed against it; but inevitable destiny had her wey. How notable that things which always have their way are pictured. as women. Paul then fell in the dumps, and Ike Job‘e poor relations ‘cursed God,"’ but, wafertunately for literature, did not die. He followed im the way of his ‘father and had notable delusions, For instance, one dey he pursued a sheep up a little hill in ‘Massachusetts, and having reached the summit over. Wwoked the world from tbat ‘mountain top.” In that moment he betieved that he becamo a poet —or believed, perhaps, that he ‘then discovered that he had been a poet from the first, Here we seo reproduced with didelity, even in its variation, the manifestation of his father’s disease. His fathor, arich man, believed him- self poor, and was by his thought pushed to a desperate extreme; the son, ® morbid, mumbling introspect ive twaddier, believed himself a poet, and was pushed to a «desperate extreme also—that of print- fng—bis poetic character cutting its throat in that act, Here, mow, is a fine cerebro-spinal system to send down to posterity. Fancy Paul’s parentage on Doth sides having the same tendency—that tendency terribly strengthened in Paul—and then Paul’s child! Not an irritation that bappens in life but will have an awful danger for her, If she demands burnt almonds and they send her macaroons it will not be safe to trust her in the same room with the opodeldoc bottle. Whats trouble she will be to her friends and herself, and how often her heart will be broken while at school! But this is not the worst, Pau wife, Kathrina, died of con- sumption, Hore is another hereditary horror for that innocent. If she escapes the opodeldoc and the broken heart, what chance is thero that she will get past chronic hydrocephalus? And if she should there is tubercular Peritonitis a little further on ber route, and phthisis at the end. Is it any wonder that our sympathies for this Ped ” have made her to us the central figure of ry As for the poem, taken altogether it resemblos nothing én the worid so much as a water cure boarding house; there is not a healthy person in it. Is reflects ‘the general character as well as the particular linea- ments of New England thought and lifo and is a type of the class of literature most favored by the young women and the feminine boys who derive their culture from that region. Sometimes organs of whose very existence in our bodies we are not naturally aware force themselves upon our knowledge, and the physicians tell us that this is an evidence that they are not healthy. The msn who ‘knows he has a stomach’ has abused that valuabie auxiliary, and the heart of man, wicked as the Psalmist says it is, troubles not its owner so long as it is in good order. It is the distinguish- ing characteristic of Yankee intellectual life that it pas this sign of disease in dreadful promi- nonce. It is conscious of its every heartbeat, con- scious of its digestive operations, conscious especially of its bra'n, and all this self-consciousness so fixes and fagteng its attention that it is unable to go about its business and utterly unfi to do any honest work inthe world. Its eyes are turned inward and is bling for alt but what it seems there. ‘Kathrina’’ is & growth of that intellectual atmosphere, Its charae- ters go up and down ite pages as tho sickly pale peoplo g0 up and down the watercure balls talking all the same Gubjective rigmarole. Some of them maks a litde effort to be brilliant on stolen scraps of epigram, and one was not too rich to pilfer even 40 amall & cold as Tom Hood’s reference to the human ear as “an ex- rack for an idlo pen.’’ Kathrina, the poet's divinity and wife, is one of those New England girls who talk—good gracious! how she doos talk ! Asaliterary performance, and aside from philosophi- cal significance, ‘Katnrina’’ is merely respectabie—-jnst shade airbreadth only above the ocean «ft medioc- rity, Its story, told in plain prose, would bave found its Place in the corner of an annual. Telling it in the \d diluted verse in which it appears—verse that never bas force—oniy exalts its nothingness. The me- dinm ie blank ver but between the parts of his story the author has taken refuge m rhymo, and the result is exactly like those columas of drivel that flourish in the cheap magazines. We have an instance of the author's use of words at the very opening of his book. He dodi- cates “the work of his hand to the wife of brig heart.’’ We would not find fault with the agreeable exprossioi man may use towards his spouse, but this is the first time we have seen poetry put on a level with borse- shoeing. Horseshoeing may, indeed, be the work of a man’s @ands, an industry so absolutely material that it not rise above the wrist; but the world bas hada Gifferent idea of the source of literary labors, Even the little bey who made bis own fiddie—a wooden fiddie, amd claimed to have made it “out of bis own head,” had a better idea of the dignity of inventive art than the author who calls his poem the work of his hands. In fact, we see in the indication of the whor’s style. He sacrifices not only truth, but matter of fact; he even consents to be absurd for the sake of a phraso—a phrase that seems to him to sparkle and in- volve a brilliant collision of thoughta For euch an author all is gold that glitters. Gold, in fact, is nothing but glitter, bas no other value than as it may shine, From a man with thi racter of y we would pect anything in reality worthy tho marae of poetry —and Kathrina would not disappoint as. Suorr Stupigs on Great Svasects, by James guinony Froude, M.A. Scribner & Go. New or! The name of James Anthony Froude is new wolland honorably known among the literary sen of all nations. His mental history, taken m connection with his fine scholarship and bis great natural abilities, have mace him to a certain extent a representative man of his time, Mr. Froude was a student at Onford at the timo that John Heary Newman and Dr, Pusey were turning the heads of the thinking young men at the Vaiversity, aad be became a victim to the con- tagion of the hour, In the publication of the “Lives of the English Saints’ Mr. Freudo took an active part, and some of the finest sketches are from nis pen. In 1844 ho took deacon’s orders. From the higher form of the religions life which Mr. Froude developed in the “Lives of the English Saints,” ho rushed to the other extreme—an extreme to which he was led by a too natural procets—and published two beoks, the one called “The Shadows of the Clouds” and tho other “The Nemesis of Faith,” both of which were condemned by the University authorities. Whon Mr. Newm@h joined the Church of Rome Froado leaped at once into open infidelity, gave up the follow- ship which he had honorably won and left the Univer. ity. At one time he even purposed to leave England Wiser thoughts, however, ia calmer moments an to prevail ie leaving his ‘ountry and re-entered the church, in which, hows he considers himeeif only # layman, About this time he formed a connection withthe Weatminster Review, and betweon the years 1650 and 1866 feveral very able articles appeared in that journal Seow his pen, Wo havo heard it said that during this period Mr. Fro ‘was brought into contact with Thom- as vie, the greatest Scotchman and perhaps the Grevtest thinker of his day, and that Cariyle’s advice to him gas that he shouid ‘givo himself to history and particularly to the history of England. However this may be, in 1856 Froude*gave to tue world the frst two volumes of his history under the title of the * His. tory of tho Engiish Reformation.” The work has since swolled jnio twelve volumes, apd it traces the hus! of England down-to the closing y? ars of = ‘of Queen Elizabeth, The style in W nich the tte att.

REVIEW OF NEW MUSIC. The New Year brings the usual detage of musical publications, and all our musicians are in the throes of composition. Below may be found a few of the latest works selected from a countless host of piano and vocal Pleces, The proportion of merit to trash in those picces is very much on the side of the latter, and some are not worth the paper on which they are'printed or engraved. Illustrated and colored title pages and high soundizg names may catch the unsophisticated for a short time, but it isan unprofitable thing for the publisher to de- pend on these alone. If the composition itself be desti- tute of merit the engraver cannot save it. There are scarcely more than a half dozen works in our fist that will last any considerable length of time, Thero is, in- deed, quite a dearth of good music at present among the new productions, and some of the publishers are sensibly turning their attention to bringing out old classical and popular favorites in the handsomest dress they can devise, Arrangements have been made by some of our leading houses to obtain the advanco sheots of all the new pyblications in Europe and repro- duce them here. One house has already published the entire piano and vocal edition of Oflenbach’s operas, and all the works of the great pianists of Europe may be found on its counters, There is one great evil against which our young com- posers should guard. They must not think that clever things can be written every day, and that if they produce one good work their reputation is at once firmly established, notwithstanding what trash they may afterwards inflict on the public. It is, indeed, a painful thing to see a young pianist, after giving to the public some really meritorious, brilliant fantasias, and thereby enlisting the aaterests Of publishers, degrade himself b; sort of penoy-a-liner system of writing piece after plece with the sole object of money m view, An artésto’s reputation should not be sacrificed by him for present pecuniary reasons, but should be made the lever by which he can raiso himselt to wealth and distinction. ‘To patch up some old work and foist 1t on the public ts not serving his own interests. Of course, it may bring bim in a little money at the present, but it will assuredly tell against bim inthe end, There is one great fault in most of the songs we find on our list. ‘The music and the words are as opposite in their sentiments as day and ug and the accompaniment is childish in the ex- treme, ords, melody and accompaniment should ail Teflect the same ideas, but in these songs they are at variance, Among the piano pieces we have plagiarisms innu- merable, and poor ones at that, and some compositions that no one will ever claim from the person whose name ig attached to them. There are, however, some charm- ing little things which the fingers of a pianist will delight in ranning over, and which will be popuiar in concert or drawing room. PRD oat & Co, publish the following pieces as tho jest :— “Chant et Danse des Cosaques,”” ‘‘Greeting to America’? (polka de concert), and “Revoir,” by Leopold Do Meyer. The first is a briliant, showy composition, hich ‘shows off its composer’s peculiar style to advan- age and ranks next in merit to bis beautiful Norma fantasia, The second is much inferior, and bas a an imtroduction a tame transcription of Yankee Doodle, The ‘“Kovoir” is a very beautiful nocturne, which we have spoken of before when played by the composer. ‘The three pieces are in the key of D flat. “Ten Songs for Children,’” Riuter, are well adapted for the purpose for which they are composed. Tuey are short and simple, but nevertheless meritorious, ‘Solo Un Bacio,” by Adeline M. Golli, is a bril- liant waltz song of the Arditi order, and an excellent thing for a soprano to display her trilis and fioriture in congo Welt?” (So F by Louis Qu f “ feiv”” (So Far), mais Quint, is a gem of beauty in melody, and has a gracoful ce eat “The Shadow Dance,” from “Dinorah,?” paraphrased by Oscar Pfeiffer, is a beautiful interpretation of this well known mazurka. Without injuring tne melody th phrase sets off its beauties to advantage. Air de Sommeil,”” from *Masanielio,’’ transcribed er, is another gem for the piano. Yan English song, has the true one that even mus'cians will unconsciously bum after hearing it, It is a capital thing for a baritone voice. Pond & Co, publish the following compositions :— “Aimée Walta,’’ by Edward Hoilman, has one or two g00d movernents and one very poor. “solitaire,” vocal romanza, by rail ‘Trover; trash, ‘starlight,’ Dove’? and “Dayiight,” mazurkas, and “Mother's Song”’ (lullaby), by Pattison. Tie mazurkas and the lullaby are nothing mew, “Daylight” bemg Pat- tigon’s poorest work, “One Year Ago,’’ song, by A.

The parties whose places have been put under seizure are making desperate efforts, it is alleged, to cole lector’s action set aside by depal ergent at Wash- ington, but these will doubiless ptove to be fruit. less, Collector Bailey, of the Fourth district, is also making increased efforts in the way of ferreting out and punishing frauds among the whiskey operators, and with excellent success, The officers attached to this district have received instructions with to their future action, which, uf fully carried out (as doubtless they will be), will have tha effect of producing adisastrous revolution among the dealers in and dis- tullers of fraud whiskey.

It 18 alleged that come of the wealthy whiskey deal- ing firms of this city and elsewhere, acting in con- junction with outside Py Aw Te have recently in~ @ugurated a plan by which to ili their pockets and de- fraud the government. A secret subscription list, it ig said, is bemg rapidly filled up to the extent of 1,000,000 for the purpose of buying up Congress to reduce the tax on whiskey, and to the end, turther- more, of having the tax put up again to. $2 before this Congress ms, Meantime all tho whiskey in bond is to be bought up and held until that end is accom- plished. Some of our city firms are said to be repre- sented in this scheme to the extent of from $5,000 to $10,000 each, Collector Bailey reports having made the following seizures within the past two days:— Derriek's distillery, corner of Porty-seventh street and Eleventh avenue, The charge against this establish- ment, which is regularly Jcansed, Is ‘that the proprietor maie no return of bis product. Tho distillery is a now and very valuable one. ‘Baines? rectifying place in Forty-eighth street. It is ‘alleged that this was @ tender to the distillory above mentioned, and that the spirit therein distilled were transferred here for rectification without having first id government tax. Rothschild’s distillery, located at No, 44 Mulberry street, seized on the charge that the returns of spirits distilled therein were fraudulent. Colonel Porter, deputy ef Collector Bailey, reports having seized an illicit stil, which was being operated at No, 53 Rose street, The distillery was located in the cellar of the premises, immediately overhead of which isa barroom. A man supposed to be the owner of the still was arrested and brought before the United States Marshal; but there being no evidence to show that the. party under arrest was in any way connected with the matter he was at once discharged, All the above cases ‘were turned over to the courts for prosecution. ‘The Metropolitan Board met yesterday afternoon and Proceeded to investigate several cases of seizure made during the past week, Most of them were turned over for prosecution. The following cases were reported as having been detained in order to give the owners an op- portunity to prove the payinent of tax:—Twenty-two barrels of spirits, belonging to Luhrs & Durhoop, found at 225 Washington street; released by the Board after investigation.
