certainly cause sick-ties. If some ot the yards
were inspected there would, I know, bo some

"Mkmoirs of a Good ron-NoTiiiNii, " from tho German
of Joseph von Blchendorff. By Ohsrlos Godfrey Le
land. New York : Leypoldt h Holt. 1806. For sale by
John Russell, Charleston.
Among tho perhaps thankless good oflicea
which wo render our readers, an important oue
?B to save them the time which, without oar
timely warning, they might wasto upou hooka
without value. To that class belongs the book
we have just named, whose soubriquet is hap
pily significant of the literary character of his
biography. What the merit of the original work
is which led to its translation, we cannot divino
from tho English vorsion. We oan believe that
in tho Qerman the descriptions of scenery pos
sess a charm that oannot be adequately repro
duced in tho translation ; bnt this merit doos not
atone for the purposeless character, not to say
unhealthy oharaotor, of the work as a whole. The
"dramatis persona?' are puppets without charac
ter ; the hero does not obtain our sympathy ; the
plot is absurdly improbable, and the moral of the
tale, that a handsome face will obtaiu for the
most common and "good-for-nothing of men"
the "favor of women," is one which this journal
cannot allow to pane without protest, withont
fear of losing a portion of that favor which itself
has won from its fair readers.
"Tus Afplx or Life," by Owen Meredith, author of Lu
cille, etc Boston: Ticknor _ Fields. 1866.
The criticism of the fine arts, especially of poe
try, resembles more the arbitrary sentence of an
autocrat than the argued decree of a judge ad
ministering a fixed law, and it will rotain that
character until the rales of taste have received
from some thinkers yet to come a scientific de
velopment and expression. Completo success in
such a task is not to be expected, at least from
one who attempts it in our vernacular. Our ter
minology is flagrantly deficient in all that relates
to the arts; our oiitiofsm of musio or painting is
couched in a polyglot jargon, and our literary
criticism deals in vague generalities, moro or less
brilliant as the ability of the critio varies, bat
when most brilliant, still unsatisfactory to him
who seeks to teat particular instances by admit
ted general principles. The commercial tenden
cies of our race have been stamped apon the
tongue they speak; for while the merchant has a
full vocabulary to express with nioety the degrees
in excellence of his wares, the literary oritio be
comes embarrassed for words when he. wishes to
attribute to a work of art a position intermediate
between the positively good or bad. *
Indeed, criticism is iu so imperfeot a condition,
that even the line which divides poetry from
prose remains yet to be determined with accura
cy; and there may be in this ciroumetanoo some
excuse for those who have given aud are giving
to tho world, and?- the name of poetry, the in
spirations of a pedestrian muse. No definition
of poetry has hitherto been proposed which is
not open to fatal objections; and the loose sugges
tion of Lord Jf.ffuf.y, that "poetry is anything in
verse whioh pleases," is of more practical use
than other equally illogical but more pretentious
canons.
The work before as, measured by this stand
ard, is certainly poetry; bnt it does not ex i.ibit
charms of verso, or fancy of a high order. In it
the author feebly sings a note of that sad ohorus
iu which all the races of men have bemoaned the
vanity of human life. It is the old theme: " Vanitas
vaniattum ;" all is vanity; that all that the world
can give?power, riches, gratified ambition, suc
cessful love, friendship, the healthy body, the
vigorous mind?do not satisfy the restless, long
ing human heart. This eternal truth the poet
illustrates by an artless fiction. As King Solo
mon sat in his garden musing upon the shortness
of human life, and
Watched the great snn going down
In the glory thereo' : the esrth aud the sky by the beam
of the same,
Were olothed with the gladness of color, and ba'hed in
the beauty of form"?.
An unknown person appeared before him and
placed in his hands the "Apple of Lifo," ambrosial
of breath, guidon-grained, rosy, bright as a star
dipped in sunset, whioh was to bestow upon its
eater immortality. But the wise and now aged
King will not put it to his lips?he is old, and
loathes to prolong
" The twilight that darkens the eyeball, the dull ear
that's deaf to the song,
When the maidens rejoice and the bride to the bride's
room with muslo Is led,
The palsy that sbskes neath the blossoms that fall from
the chill marriage bed"
and gives the Apple of Life to his beloved Shula
niite, who he supposes will clutch at the gift that
is to give her an eternity of youth, and health,
and beauty. Bat the heart of the fair Shulamite
was not with her lord; her passion for Azariah
met no return, and she shrank from an eternity
of hopeless love. Azariah, to whom she gives the
apple, is not more satisfied with*his life, and
argues that the flavor of death gives its best
spice to life. He takes the ontasted apple and
knocks at the door of "his dark-eyed beguiler,
the lascivious Egyptian." Bhe receives him in her
chamber, sweetened with cassia; fills for him a
silver flagon, entwined with a golden asp,- adorn
ed with rubies; gaily hams a song borrowed from
the maidens of olden Memphis, and asking of him
a gift, re?oives the ?'apple of Ufe." But the
gaiety of the poor harlot was not real; she loath
ed a life that was without honor, and promptly
sets aside untasted tho applo that was to prolong
her shame. Bat as she mused opon the strange
gift, the thought comes into her mind that tho
applo is a gift for a kiug. For
Only he has the life that is worth living forever.
Whose life not alone
I? the Ufe of tho king, but the life of the many made
mighty in one.
To Mm will I carry this apple, and he (for the hand of s
king
Is a fountain of bone), whose handmaid shall honor the
?lit that I brin?; -
And men for this deed shall esteem me with Rahab, by
Israel praised,
As first among those who, tho' lowly, their shame Into
honor have raised."
As wise as was Solomon and as well as he has
speculated on tho futility of anger, we oan readi
ly believe with the poet, that his wrath was kin
dled on finding bis precious gift to the woman he
loved in the hands of the Egyptian .harlot; bnt an
learning the truth he concludes that he who
brought him tbe apple was the angel of Death,
sent to him on tho morciful mission of putting an
end to a life that no longer tempted him. The
"applo of Ufo" ho then
"did seal in an urn that was signed
With the teal of oblivion, and summoned tho spirits
that walk on tho wind
Unseen, on tho rummlta of mountains where nover tho
esg-le yet flew.
And these ho commanded to bear far ?way, out of reach,
out of view,
Ont of hopo, out of memory?higher than Ararat build
eth hi? throne,
In tho urn of oblivion tho apple of lite."
The judgment of tho groat critic, that neither
gods nor men can put up with mediocrity in poo
try, is harsh. "Pas toujours perdrix" is a morn
practical rulo in art. If we cannot hear tho prima
donna, let us try to find pleasure in the rustic lay;
if we cannot havo the nightingale, let us listen to
the thrush; if wo are deprived of our Cliquot, lot
us drink gratefully our bottle of " Ordinaire."
Mr. Robert Bulweb Lytton does not sing as full
and clean a note as the maators of song, but there
is in his poem enough of the flavor of poetry to
give pleasure to his readers. We are disposed, it
is true, to find fault with tho author's deliberate
purpoGo.oxhibited in his former work, Tannhauser,
and in this poem, of choosing his metros rather for
their singularity, and perhaps difficulty of execu
tion, than for their own beauty; and we could
point out in this work instances of that straining
for effeot which betrays the poot who owes as
much to art as to inspiration. But still we recom
mond the poem to those who seek to refresh their
minds with tho grateful fancies of the poet, or to
those who foel and ponder the solemn truth that
"life is a tale told by an idiot,
Fall of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Mr. John Russell furnishes a beautifully print
ed, but very cheap edition, of this work, from
TlOKNOB & FIELDS.

Tli?3 National Banks.
The subjoined clever article on tho National
Bank system of the country we take from the
Richmond Examiner of the 9th. Wo commend it
to the careful attention of our readers:
"National Banks" have sprang up with sur
prising rapidity in Richmond since the close ot the
war. Some of them have been inaugurated by
persons who have been non-residents before, and
some of thorn by old inhabitants of the city. They
are more remarkable for their numbor than for
extent of their capital. They make a greater dis
play in magnificent buildings than in the accom
modations which they grant to the people The
capital with which thoy were organized was at
tained, some of it in Washington City, some of it
in Baltimore, much of it in New York. It was ob
tained from wealthy friends of the South in thoso
cities, whose good feelings in behalf of our poo
ple were appealed to. They subscribed liberally
in the belief that the banks would relieve our
pecuniary distress, and revive the prostrated busi
ness and industry of our country.
But tho history of these banks has not justified
the appeals that were made at t'?e time in their
behalf; nor the anticipations of the liberal men
who, in subscribing to their capital stock, thought
to aid tho Southern people in their pecuniary dis
tress. The banks nave been managed in the in
terests of small cliquos whioh surrounded them,
and of speo?lators who make a trade of fleecing
the country. The great agricultural interest of
the South has been naughtily ignored; although
it is the primary interest, the revival of whioh is
essential to the restoration of prosperity to every
other great industry. The manufacturing inter
ests has shared the same nop.loot. We defy tho
production of any proof that the manufacturing
enterprises of Richmond, or of Virginia, have re
ceived any appreciable aid or encouragement
from these selfish institutions which are but nests
of ravenous broods of speculators. The farmers
and manufacturers of the South have had to go
to the North for the means which were necessary
to put their operations again on foot.
What have these banks been doing? They have
lent more money in any single month since their
establishment, to Bpeoulators in gold, and shavers
of paper, than they have done for a whole year to
the manufacturing and farming interests. They
have been actuated by grovelling ideas, and sor
did notions throughout, and have not in a single
instance made a loan upon enlarged, elevatod and
enlightened prinoiples of public policy. We will
not be guilty of tho folly which has characterized
some of their more ignorant assailants, and
charge them with the direct praotice of usury.
They do not violate the letter of the law. They
know better than that. They would not run the
risk of taking a note of interest which would work a
perfection of their claim for tho principal. But if
the note-shaving firm of Quirk, Gammon and
Snapp bays a good note at five por oent. a month in
the market, and then offers the note for discount
in the bank, there is no bank in Richmond of too
high a tone to throw it out. Nay, we say it with
shame, it is tho policy of all tho banks here, so
far as oar observation extends, to do business
principally in that species of paper, to the exclu
sion of honeater paper.
Thus these banks are a jarse to the State. They
do nothing for the far m* , nothing for the manu
facturera, nothing for the class of plain business
men carrying on an honest business. They are
condnoted in the interest of apooulators in gold,
in wheat, in flour; in the interest of merciless
usurers. They have given no aid in developing
the industry of the 8tate; they have done very,
very much to depress and blast its industry. No
body can afford to pay the high rates of usury
that are current on the streots. Institutions
which foster this uaury exhaust the vitality of the
community, paralyze its energies, and spread
over all its interests the pall of despair. They
are an abomination and a ourse.
How will Hie European War a.fleet oar
Interests 1
A correspondent of a New York paper thus
writes from London:
"One faot conneoted with the Continental war
will interest your farming constituency. The war
will prevent tho gathering of the grain crops on
the Continent. Tho price of broadstnffs ia ad
vancing, and will continue to advance. The pros
?octa of tho harvest are not very promising in
Ingland, and I expect before the end of tho year
to see broadstnffs at least 40 to 60 per cent, dear
er than tho present quotations.. This is good
news for your Wee torn men, and it is true news."
This is one aide of the pioture. The other side
?b thus presented by the New York Commercial
Advertiser. It says : "Tho advantage of our in
tercourse with Europo has boon that we havo
bean able to import from thence certain artioles
more cheaply that we could produoe them our
solvi s, paying for them with products of our own
which we can produce more cheaply than Euro
peans." The Commercial thinks that of the
1,260,000 men now in arms, a half million have
been taken from productive employments, and
that a? the war progresses, the commercial cen
tres of Qormany and the high-roads of trade wiil
be closed, and that there must be a stoppage of
the production of the merchandise whioh is uou
ally transported here. The Commercial sayi? :
"As to the goods that Europe may send here
during the war, should the closing of transporta
tion routes not prevent, it is possible that we may
have heavy consignments of merchandise hither,
to realize what it will bring; but that would bo
only the first brief spasm, to ho followod by a long
period of scarcity and high prices for all that Eu
rope produc?s, as in tho caso of our own couutry
during tho rebellion. All we might subsequently
import from Germany or Franco would bo bought
at high prices, and the scarcity of such merchan
dise horo would tend to still further increaao its
cost to our consumers. There is no conceivable
way in which wo could bo profltod, except through
procuring enhanced prices for our exports of
brcadstuffe, which would naturally bo in larger
demand in Europe. But even this advantage is
more apparent than real. Oar surplus of bread
stuffs for exportation rarely exceeds ten per cent,
of our crop; and it would surely bo a poor advan
tage to gain a higher price for that portion wheu
our own consumers had t > pay an equal advance
for the remaining ninety per cent.' It is true, the
farmers would bo benefittod; but tboy are ouly a
limited portion of the community, and thoir grain
would vory imporfoctly coniponaato for tho disad
vantage of dear food to the people at large."
Wo confess that wo view this question from a
Southern standpoint, and aro more interested in
the probabla g?mst of the European war upon the
producing people of the South than upon the
commercial people of tho New England and Con
trai Statos. The great want of the South is a
market in which it can Bell its products to advan
tage. The European war will in all probability
offer that market. Just at present we do not wish to
buy anytbiug but nccossarios, aud as few of them
as will do to serve us. Fortunately, ws can pro
duce most of them. If the farmers can get good
prices for their products the whole community
will be benefitted, and in the Southern States it
may be said the farmers constitute the commu
nity. The more we make and sell, and the loss
we buy, the better it will be for us. If the war
that creates a market for oar productions shall at
tho same time arrest importations and force us to
do without many things that we are not compelled
to have, the people of the producing States of the
West and South will be so much the better off.
The Great Portland Fire.
The dispatches from Portland, Maine, hereto
fore published, have told the story of the cralami
ty whioh has overtaken that city. From our
Northern files we gather some interesting details
of tho conflagration. The fire originated in a pile
of shavings into which a boy, celebrating the
glorious Fourth, threw a pack of pop crackers.
Two hundred acres of territory, compactly built
with dwellings and business houses, have been
swept by the tornado of flame, and ten thousand
or twelve thousand men, women and children,
were turned into the places which had once been
streets. The heaviest loser was Brown, the sugar
refinor, whose loss is estimated at $1,000,000,
whioh includes not only bis immense works, but
houses in various parts of the city. Fortunately
his fine residence was outside the burnt district.
The destruction of the new City Hall, the pride of
the city and the State, is generally lamenta
it wan not bolicve? that thif< wviUld go,
and many articled were taken thoro for
safety, and were, of courso, all lost. It
caught in the dome, and this, falling
through the roof, set the interior. on fire,
and it was quickly burned to the ground. A
few of the city records were saved and a great
many destroyed. The building coat originally
about $400,000, bat it cannot now bo replaced for
twice that sum. The Methodist Church, on Chest
nut-street, near the City Hall, the most valuable
in the oity, was saved by the precautionary mea
sures of iron shutters to the windows, which it is
said many of the Society opposed when the church
was erected. It is worth about $70.000. By the
destruction of the Natural History Building that
corporation will lose $50,000, exclusive of the valu
able collections which it contained. The Custom
Houso and Post?nico, both in the same building,
were badly damaged in the interior. Of tho eight
churohes destroyed, that of the Boman Catholic
-Immaculate Conception Society on Congress
street, together with the parsonage, was tho most
valuable, and the loss will not fall short of $100,
000. Seven hotels were destroyed, including
among others tho partially finished structure
known as the Marble Hotel, owned by the Hon.
John M. Wood, once a member of Congress from
Maine. The hotels destroyed are the Interna
tional, Freeman, Commercial. American, Sailors'
Home, Eingsbury's and the Marble.
The two principal onoa in the oity, the Prebte
and the Unittd States, esoaped, although the lat
ter was several times on fire. The banks of the
city, eevon in number, wore all destroyed. The
opening of the vaults show that the papers and
money of the National Traders and the First aud
Second National Banks escaped unharmed.
Tho City Gas Works wore destroyed, so that the
oity now is in darkness when night comes down
upon the wide-spread desolation. Tho burning of
nearly ail the supply storos renders it impossible
also to obtain lamps and oil to supply the place of
the gas.
A Tetter from Portland says that tho greatest
apprehension among the business men is that
their misfortunos will carry down many of the
insurance companies, particularly the local ones
who have the largest risks. If the insurance
losses are promptly met vory many will resume bu
siness again. The people are not disposed to be
discouraged if it is a possibility to again establish
in business. Mr. Brown will probably commence
the work of rebuilding at once, and the proprie
tors of tho Portland Press have already ordered
new types and presaos,and advertised for an office
cr proposals to build one.
The scenes in the city during the progress of the
fire were such as eye-witnesses will not care to
have repeated in their experience. All the vehi
cles obtainable were impressed into the work of
transferring furniture and effects from buildings
burning or threatened, but, in many cases, they
had no sooner been deposited in what was thought
to bo a place of safety than they were again en
dangered, and, perhaps, quickly destroyed by the
pursuing flames. ....
In all the Northern cities subscriptions are being
raisoa for the relief of the Portland Bufferers.

The Ladies of the Southern Relief Association,
at St. Louis, have determined to give a gtfttnd Fair
in that city, in September next, to raise funds to
