LITERATURE. CRITICISMS OF NEW BOOKS. ‘Sar ABE AND Hs SEVEN Wivas, a TALE OF SALT Lake C.iry. Routledge & Sons: New York, Oc- TaVo, pp. 169. Dialect poetry is one of the fentures of the muse of Yhe period, particularly that which conveys the Yorclbie patois of the far West, To we novel of Indian adventure it is the sprightly successor; but At cannot be said that Cooper’s prose bas been sur- passed in the process of transferring the incidents ef border life into verse. ‘That dtalect poetry 18 ‘eapabie of expressing the sweetest thoughts in & @irect natural form the name and fame of Robert Burns will testify as long as the English tongue survives, Tennyson, indeed, has done some fearful things with Engtish dialect in hus ‘ mer” without making # very attractive. Ingelow has succeeded better, tor the reason that she bas had nothing yery deep to say, and the dia- Jects of the uncultivated are always so limited in vocabulary that, while trey may be made to express forcible or delicate shades of feeling, they become incongruous nonsense iu the expression of profound thought, The author of “Saint Abe,” who, by the vy, modestly withholds his name, takes an unsavory subyect—polygamy, avd with a half defiance, which 18, at the same time, half apology, ne dedicates his book to Onaucer, Whom he irreverentiy dubs “Old Dan,’? His theme, he thinks, 18 lo be preferred to the “scrofulous novels of the age” to which he leaves prudery, fools and humbug. The book opens witn a prologue describing the sorrows of Joe Wilson, a stage driver, who lost the lady of his heart through the snares of a Mormon Apostie, Hiram Higginson. This 18 w rich, racy narrative, told with ail the Impetuosity, anual passion and coarseness peculiar to the ‘Boss’? of that dreary region, The latter quality 1s what lovers of this senool of verse name the picturesque, and there 13 pienty of it In the book. Here isasample. Joe bas been supplanted by the apostle, He comes upon she pair, WMO are engaged in reading the “Kook of Mormon.” He steaithily approaches and listens:—, At last he stops for lack of wind, And smuited with surcy, double-chinned Fat face at Cissy, while she cried, Rocking herve trom slie 10 wiag — “Oh, Bisbop, them are words of bliss ® And then be gave a .ong, fat kiss Op ber warm hand, and edged his stool Btili clover. Could’a man keep cool Abd see i ‘Trembling thro’ and thro J waikec right un to that theer two. And caught the deroed ola lump of daft Jest by the breeches und the scratt, ‘And chucke: bim off, and with one kick Seut his stool arter Lim right alick, While Cissy screamed with frighten’d face, “Spare him! U spare that maa of grace!” Is tus, we would ask, the sort of dirty rubbish for which we are called on to thank the gods and Chaucer? The Boss’ tale ended, the first gtimpse elthe great Valley of Sait Lake is caught as they “leave the green canyou atthetr back,” and this brings us to the story proper. We are now Ireated to @ prefatory piece of description, which is reaily very beautitul and true to wiat it paints, It exnibits one regretabvle delect of the author, an agnorance or Carelessness of rhytim, marring by a yar on the ear the few occasions when he rises above ‘the jog-trot level of lis dialect versificaion, Itis a detect, however, on which the pubic 1s charitable Ww genius, The following 1s the passage:— Ob, suints that shine around tne heavenly seat What heaven ie this that opens at my feet? What tlocks are these that thro’ the g Stray on by treckled Seids aud shini What ghittering roofs and white kios from the thade of emerald tree: ¢ city 18 this that rises on the slgat, Fair and fantastic as a city of ight Seen in the suuset?

Abraham Clewson—or Saint Abe, as he 1s called — is, at the opening of the story, the victlm to a surieit of polygamy.. A shining light in the Church, he was encouraged by Brigham in his “sealing” pro- Pensities, and at lengih finds himself a miserabie hypoconariac with seven wives, Here they are:— Hister Tabitha, thirty ody, Rising up with'a stare and a nod; ister Amelia, sleepy and mild, Frecklea, Dudo-tsh, suckling a child; Sister Fanny, pert and keen; Sister Emily, solemn and leao; Sister Mary, given to tears, ‘Sister Sarah, witn wool in ber ears; Ail appearing like tapers wan In the mellow auni}ght of Sister Anne, The firet six of these, headed by Tabitna, are the tcrror of his existence, in spite of the weak attempts he makes at conciliation. The seventh and still blooming Sister Anne he is in love with, bat is afraid to betray bis affection. He ends itall like Goldsmith's country parson, who, “since ’tis hard to combat, Jearns to fly,” He runs away, taking Sister Anne wong with him, and is found at the end of five years bappy on a New England farm. The moral, if any, 4p the story 18 that polygamy 13 not suited to a man with a heart. In his vuledictory to Brigham he id of men divided is into two portions, vrother, are saints go bigh in bliss that they the tesh can amotber : God meant them from fair flower to flower to flutter, smiles bestowing: Tass the sweet, leaving the sour, just hovering—-and going, The second are a different set, just halves of perfect spirits, Gorng avout in bitter fret of dacompleted merits, Till they discover, here or there, their other half (or woman), ‘Then these two j6in and make'a pair, and 80 snerease ine uman, What the effect can be of such a boox in shaping the fate of polygamy in Utah we cannot tell; out it brings vividly forward the actual state of social ang moral degradauop in which the “saints” and sis- ters live there. There is adash and vigor in the language which at the same time is rather ostenta- ‘ous in the bold way 11 unearths the unseemly sides of the “relic of barbarism.” As @ picture of life in Deseret it 1s by far the best which has appeared, Its defiance of conventionalisms of expression may make the untutored laugh; but in the face of so much real meritas is therein displayed, it cannot fail to make the judicious grieve, im spite of appeals t the kindred indecency tobe found in “Old Dan Chaucer,” SEVEN DECADES OF THE UNION; THE HUMANITIES IALISM, Illustrated by @ Memoir of with Keminiscences of Some of His he ‘Transition State of Henry A.

Wiayorable comment NEW YORK: HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 1872.—TRIPLE SHEET, to declare ‘that “some of Swedenborg’s concep. tions of Deity were the most soo-blime.” (Pro. nouncing sublime as if spelt “soo,” and emphasiz. | Ing the first syllable.) “What !’ exclaimed the Doc- tor of Divinity, “do you pretend to compare the crudities of Swedenborg with the divine concep- ions of David, or Jov, or Isaiah?” Yes,’ said the hero, for he had said it, and his whole mien changed to one of pious pugnacity, “es, sir; Swedenborg’s congeptions, by being among the most soopiime, only prove that the Creator has at ali times, aiong all natrons, inspired the souls of mea with images of Himself, and the original inspirations are, in some instances, a8 seoblime as the revelations of divinity; both come trom God.” {f Goveraor Wise were always felicitous in his sketches his book would be vastly more engaging to the reader. But, alas! such passages are only the episodes in @ dreary desert of political disquisi- uon, in Which We forget not only that John Tyler ever existed or that we are reading a Virginia biog- raphy, dut-also that oar author has any skill in lite- rary composition or capacity jor anything at all bus political logomachy. The latter portion of the book, in particular, 1s filed with doloful jeremiads over the ‘dissolved Unien” and the “‘despottc Con- gress,’ although far less bitter than some would haveilooked for frem so thorough @ champion as ‘was Governor Wise in the ante bellum aays of the South and her cherished institutions, He goes at great length into an argument to show that “a preparation of the Souvhern States 4n fall panoply of arms would have prevented civil war.” He laments ‘hat the peace policy pre- vailed until after the fall of Fort Sumter. He would have had every State in Secessta armed in ‘advance to overawe the North, and declares that when he left the Governor’s chair in Virginia, in 1861, 1t was with 85,000 stand of arms and 130 pieces of artillery in the Armory at Richmond, none of which, he says, came from the Secretary of War, Floyd. He lays down the rnovel constitu. tional principle, that each State ‘has retained her power of self-defence and of war, not only as against foreign States, but as against sister States, or their common agent, the tederal government.” And he charges Congress with having “destroyed the Constitution, States, laws and liberties of the ‘people of the United States,’’ All this 1s coupled with the most extraordinary denunciation of the “materialism” of the age, whicn, a8 Governor Wise assumes, has usurped the place of “the humanities” tn our institutions of Jearning, ana given us over to the devil generally, Yet our author 1s not go badly jaundiced by his own pessimist theories as to refuse us all consolation; ana it is in the frequent relief interposed by his genial reminiscences and personal characteriza- tions that the real merit of his book resides, Here 1s one of William L. Marcy, Secretary of State under President Pierce :— Mr, Marcy was one of the most remarkable men we ever knew. He had @ strougly-marked lace, with very Shaggy eyebrows, which he seemed to train downwards purposely over his eyes, which were very keen, plerciug and observant. His brows seemed to sift his vision, wich came tuto his look like spraying beam; of ligkt through mesnes of hair, ‘Thus his expression was cunniagly conceated while he penetrated your thoughts an’ feelings. He did never exactly smile or laugh, but his humor Was rare and dry, and, when he was pleased, the light of bis eye scintillated more sparkling through his brow meshes, and, like Kriss Kringle, he ‘shook like a vowltol of jelly.” To look at him in such a mood was itself numor. Our autor gives us occasionally a stroke of cnar- acter in anepithet, Thus John Randolph (whom Governor Wise must have cordially detested) is “what miser of aristocracy, John Randolph, of Ro, anoke.” John Quincy Adams is “a lautudinarian and fanatical statesman of the highest training, learning, industry and will.” Mr. Calhoun is “a giant of Intellect, but a child to party tactics’? Mr. Webster 18 a man ‘gracious and great, with oxlike, great pathetic eyes.” Clay is ‘a sublime black- guard.” To concinde, we are compelled to record our con- viction that in this biograpny of John Tyler the least interesting portion 1s that which relates to Jonn Tyler nimself. Two or three chapters, indeed, are ostensibly occupied with him, but they are very dull reading. There is no attempt at any connected history of his life, much less of his administration. We get a hasty summary of the fiscat and tarur squabbles which led vo ts rupture with the whig party, but these have been better told before m the late John P. Kennetly’s Defence of the Whigs,” and im other publications of the period. If we were called upon %© pronounce an opinion upon Governor Wise’s literary qualifications we should unhesitat- ingly say that history is not his jorte, but thut epi- sode is, And we venture to express the hone that in the next historical or political treatise with which the distingaished ex-Governor may favor us he wil) consult the comfort of his readers by making the book all episode, LITERARY CHIT-CHAT.

Few pietures have been the subject of more diverse criticism than Gérome’s great work, “The Crucifixion.” Im spite ef unsatisfactory and even unpleasant color, and the want of that sentl- meut of terror and horror in nature at the crime which man has committed against the Creator, there 18 still enough of thougpt and power in the work to command our admiration, It is true we cannot stand betore the painting and confess to ourselves that human art can do no more, and that we Jook upon the ultimate expression of the grandest and most appalting drama in the nis tory of creation, But if we pause to examme why itis so there will appear, to those capable of analyzing their own inpressions, other causes than the defects of execution or conception on they part of the artst—something in the nature of the subject and our habitual way of regarding 1t. Have we not grown up with ideas in this relation 80 grand, TERRIBLE AND APPALLING thatall merely human art must fall in realizing that awful scene when ‘the rocks trembled, te sun darkened and the graves yielded up thelr dead?” ‘To present to tne eye such a picture as the imagination has created, and that we have en- shrined in our hearts and minds unut it has become @ matter of faith of which we can almost believe ourselves cognizant, 1s absolutely beyond the power of art, and in this circumstance perhaps dwells the cause Why so many are disappointed with Gérome’s work. But if we pause before the picture and allow it to grow upon us, with all its wonderful, subtile power of suggestiveness, we begin to feel the force of thought that underiies it. There 1s no vulgar ap- pealing to the sentiment of horror; and the same thought which removed the actual cracifixion out side the picture, and merely informed us of the event by the shadows, no doubt lufuenced the artist to subdue THE MANIFESTATIONS OF NATURR, and to endeavor merely to convey to the mind the coming of 8 scene Lo Which no human power could do justice. The treatment adopted, about which so maby critics and the pubic complain, is in abso- jute harmony with THR CENTRAL THOUGHT which pervades the composition. Christ has not died, a8 We are tok! by the threatening acuon of te retreating figures, so full of character, and nature is not yet tnoroughly aroused by a consummated act. This logical connection ‘has escaped the notice of adverse critics, who, not finding represented that which 1t would be im- poasible to represent adequately and with dignity, at once pass judgment upon a painting that, in spite of iis detects, will receive the homage of pos- terity. The most legitimate ground for complaint is furnighed by those SHADOWY CROSSES, which Jend so much charm to tne composition, In selecting this form of expressing the death of the Saviour the artist gave proot of the highest dra- matic perception as well as exquisite refinement of thought; and if there were nothing else whatever in the painting, the veauty.and delicacy ot this idea would have been sufficient to merit the highest praise. By a strange oversight, however, the artist has cast hus shadows over the loreground, which is broken and jagged, as if they were cast on a bowling green, Which 18 impossible in nature, as he shadows would have followed the lueguality of tne ground, instead of Lrg eg the same uniformity, as thongh they had been .thrown on a perfectly level surface. Possibly the artist deliberately erred tn this matter I order to convey more directly the theme of his work, sacrifictng a detatl to the mai effect to be sought. He has not elevaied our iuea of the sacrifice of which he treats, because that would be impossible, butat least he can claim to have treated ib with becoming dignity, and if he has failed to con- vey with adequate force the awful protest of nature against THE MURDER OF A GoD he has, at least, suggested the importance of the incident, and eft to the imagination to supply those elements of supernatural horror which neitner pea nor brusi can Lupe to describe, BRION’S ‘SIXTH DAY OF CREATION.” flere is a Work with elements of power which it wou!d be impossible for the most partial critic to ignore. That an artist should ever have attempted vw handle such a theme excites at once our astoa- ishment and admiration. That he snould have handied it in a manner short of our very vague and, terefore, very wide conceptions, can scarcely sur- prise us, Unfortunately for the erect of his work, he has undertaken to clothe the Creator in a personality, and tnough he has given Him an_ aur of dignity he has not been able «oO make Him appear otherwise than as aman, Our modern ideas of the immensity and grandeur of God are shocked by this tearing of the Vell of mystery from THE FACK OF THE RTERNAL and revealing to us the form ofa worn old man floating through the clouds, The figure has been admiraoly painted, and if we could reconcile our- selves to having the Creator presented to us 1 this guise we might applaud the artist for his execuuon; Dut the idea is false and ignovle, and spoils what would otherwise have been a magnificent picture. ‘fo our mind the subject Would have been more fitly treated had the attempt to personify God neen omitted, But af the presence of the Creator was av. solutely necessary to the tkeme the artist should not have forgotien the essentially spiritual nature of the Creator and represented Him permeating the clouds in a vague, insubstaotial form, Apart from this error of judgment the treat- ment of the subject 18 not lacking i Mujesty or force, Beneath stretches tl «lark, wide expanse of the newly created world, and above the 'tmitiess cicuds roll back into space. Were the figure removed, and with it the floating mass of drapery, the effect of the sky painting would be GRANDLY IMPRESSIVE ; but the whole composition is dwarfed by the at- tempt to represent an infinite belug by fnite means, Apart trom this relation, aud viewed as 3 piece of execution, it 13 impossivle to refuse to ac- anowledgi ts great merits. At present it 1s con- demned use We associate it and compare tt with something so grand and mysterious that we do not dare, even in imagination, to give form to our thoughts, because we feel that it is impossible for circumscribed human genius i! do justice to a sub- ti entirely beyond its reach, It can, then, scarcely discreditabis to tail where success was abso- jutely dinpossible, Art Notes. The expenditure of the Science and Art Depart- ment in Great Britain since 1853 to the present year reaches the large sum of £1,642 12s. 10d. sterling. When we compare this generous encouragement of art education witn the indifference displayed in America to this important branch of public instruc. tion we cannot help thinkmg that, in spite of our vaunted progress, we are left far behind in many respects by European nations, The number of individuals instructed in the art schools in Great Britain during the year 1870 amounted to 187,916, The number of art students attending night classes has increased from 9,322, In 249 classes, in 1869, to 12,119, in 352 classes, in 1870, showing how rapidly art education is spreading among the British people. ‘Yhe development of art taste in England appears ‘to be phenomenal, ana if it continue to progress at the same rate the nation of shopkeepers will be changed into @ nation of artists. The latest an- nouncement is that Thornycroft has been selected, after a pretty sharp competition, to model a grand sculptural fountain to be erected in Park lane, Hyde Park, It is expected to be one of the greatest pub- lie ornaments of the great metropolis, However, that will not require much genius on the part or the artist, as most of the other “ornaments” scarcely pro- duce pleasant impressions, statues of a number of the great poets, Shakspeare, Milton, and vhaucer, ‘will be introduced info the composition. A valuable collection of paintings by the best French and Belgian artusts has been placea on ex- Iubition im the salons of “the Wellington,” St. James street, London. Art literature in Paris 1s fast recovering from the effects Oi the late bouleversement, and our elastic iriends seem to have forgotten all about the Prus- sia) nd the Commune, or only to remember them as @ horrible nightmare. Three monthly serials have already mace their appearance, and are filled with interesting matter. “*L'His(oire des Feintres de Toutes les Kvoles’’ contains a iile of Hans Bergh- maer, who lived from 1472 to 165%, The sterary sketch is accompanied by a good portrait of the ar- list. “The History of the Ceramic Arts,” publishea by the same editor, has some representations of very curious pottery, ascribed to the seventh cen- tury before Christ, “L)Art Pour Tous” 18 as usual filled with curious and interesting information, Paris ig threatened with another conflict; but this time the contestants wilt confine themselves to the use or the pen, AS has been the case since the world began, the cause of strife 1s a woman, and an anctent one, too, but of a beauty that will be eter- nal. M. About, who seems born for making sensa- ‘ions, has made another discovery, Wandering in the halis of the Louvre, mm common with thousands Of others who went to assure themselves that the nuch-abused and Jied sbout Communists had not broken up in very 1ittle bits the works of Greek art Which have been gathered into the galleries of the Louvre, M. About made a discovery, aud rushed off to write one of those graceful aud brilitant ert- lques at which he succeeds so well, The statue Which had go long heid the world in admiration had fault, which bad not been suspected. Was found that it did not stand in the corre Ine Of pose, which, according to the law ol equi- Nbriam, should descend from the holiow. of the throat to the ankle bone of the foot upon which the Welgnt of the figure rests, In the case of the Milo Venus the i:me was found to fall outward to the point of the toe. On examination, however, 1 was found wat this was not ‘so in the original work. The sigue is formed of two Gistinct blocks of marble, which were made to fit felicitously where the drapery begims to fall trom the nude upper half of the figure. The join- ture was thus rendored i#nperceptivie, and 1b was made to be as close and enduring as it might be, by strong iron internal clamps, In time the expan- Srmarbie apart the upper portion ot te Dare was of ‘he upper portion ot then bent forward and held in tts new position by the Msertion of small blocks of wood, which were hidden trom view by the introduction of a thin’ layer of the finest piaster. The result was that a kind of modern Grecian bend was imparted to the classic Milo, which with the gallantry of a French- man, M. About declares to be an improvement on the rigid upright bearing of the original, powenee, there were not wanting champions for what ought to be, rather than what 1s, and the supporters of the two systems are now fairly at issue, and the result will be watched with the closest interest by the art world.
