A WISH.—BY T. A.
Oh ! for a cot in some sequester’d glen,
Far, far removed from haunts # of busy men,
Where in seclusion I might spend my days,
Freed from the world and all its wicked ways ;
My sole companion, innocence and health,
I’d learn to scorn what most deem greatest—
wealth ;
Content with raiment of the simplest kind,
Such as would fond me from the storm and wind;
For food, with plain and wholesome frugal fare,
Such as my native mother earth would bear :
To these a shelf with classic lore,
Pd deem a full, complete and ample store,
Nor would 1 ask, desire or covet more ;
Unless kind Providence well pleas’d should send
Some true, sincere, warm-hearted loving friend,
To seek me in my lone, lowly bower,
And chase the tedium of some weary hour—
Whoso wit to mirth and levity could warm,
When solitude and books should cease to charm
There distant far from discord’s social jar,
And man ’gainst man waging eternal war,
In sweet contentment, innocence and ease,
Pd study only wliut the soul could please.

THE SEASONS OT SHAKSI’EAUE!
BY PROFESSOR UII.KS.
It ma3’ boa groat presumption for me
to thus intrude from the compositions of
Sliakspeare into his character. The re
lation of a man personally to his wri
tings, involves, 1 linov.’, many doubtful
and difficult questions ; and most of all
this must be so in iSliakspearo, whose ge
nius is a manifestation pf humanity, nn 1
not of the individual. Genius would,
indeed, be limited, if it were bounded by
personality. Shakspcare must have bad
a life distinct from the men and women
in whom his imagination was so multitu
dinously embodied, and we cannot pre
sume that, through ail or any of them,
we can reach that life in its isolated
mystery. There, in that mystery of life,
Shakspeare was even as the meanest of
us ; he had to live it in its own impene
trable awfulness. Imagination, poetry,
power, cannot alter this; and, when im
agination, poetry, power, have done their
utmost, into this secrecy, the man a"ain
must slirink. All in which the greatest
| man differs from the least, is as nothing
; compared with tiiis unshared substance
of life, that caeii one has, and must have
for himself. After all that Shakspeare
had showered out from his creative
thought, he was as lonely in the midst
of eternity as any of us ; after all that
, wisdom, eloquence, aud song could send
! abroad of inspiration, Shakspeare had yet
griefs of his own, which lie could net ut
ter ; joys which must breathe unsyllabled;
mysteries which ho could riot solve ; the
solitary buttle with mortality; tho solita
ry fears and hopes, which stretch beyond
the reach of fame, and which no applause
can silence.
•Still the writings even of Shakspeare
must contain some indications of his men
tal history. Criticism and researcli have
done much to determine tho order, at
least, in which his plays were written ;
and this does, in some degree, help us to
a mental chronology of his inward histo
ry. We are able thus to see that the
mind of Shakspeare likeotlier minds, had
its transitions, growth, advancement—
teuton*. Let us take the idea implied in
this last word—i ration* —and follow out
the analogy wilh which it supplies us.
Wo have the spring of Shakspeare V
mind in such plays as the “ Two Gentle
men of Verona” and “ Love’s Labor
Lost.” Here is luxuriance of foliage;
rich promise in multitude of huds, that
are yet to be unfolded. There is a glow
in the atmosphere of his mind, but a
sharp chill is iu it too ; and tho moisture
is nut of the dew, but of llie shower.
Shakspeare in this stage lias wealth of
language, but not oqual strengtli of
thought; he lias more point than wit;
more brilliancy than humor ; more art of
expression, than felicity ; little of tender
| ness and less of pathos Then cometh
;hc summer: with its fulness of bloom,
its glories, and its joy. The skies arc
i all clear; the sun Hoods the day, and the
I stars beautify the night; the woods are
alive with songs; the fields are sparkling
with flowers ; and the depths of Heaven
are in tho mirrors of the waters. Life
becomes an inward melody ; a reverie;
:m enchantment ; the ear catches broken
i tunes in the air, it hears odd sounds
among the rocks; the eye beholds quaint
visions in tho grove; it is elated by fan
-1 ciful deceivings, by the light that plays
jon the branches. (lut from such a sum
mer spirit wo buve from Shakspeare his
magnificent dream of lyric-witchery,
! “ The Mid-Hammer Night’s Dream.”
j “ Romeo and Juliet” came also from the
summer of the mind. The intensity of
summer life, of summer, beauty is in their
love ; the sudden darkness of a summer
tempest is in their death. There is
summer in the laugh of tho old Nurse;
there is summer iu the wit of tho young
Mercutio. "Much Ado About Noth
ing” shows also the summer of the mind;
I it shows it in the buoyant wit of Benedick;
in the reckless sarcasm of Beatrice ; in
I *he stupid and happy dignity of Dogber
ry j iu the diffusion through the whole of
; exuberance and audacity. The character
I of Fuletuff most especially belongs to the
summer of the mind. There iaan unc
tion, and oleaginous moisture about Sir
John, which give strong evidences of
hot weather ; thorc is a broad sunlight of
mirth about the rascal, a profligacy of
, ideas within him, which olearly proves
that when he was engendered in the brain
it was joyous with fun and crowded with
images. Summer departs as surely in
the order of the mind as in tho ordor of
the seasons. As in the year wo cannot
see it pass away without regret, neither
can we in tho life. Every mind of any
thought becomes reflective at this change.
The passing from the prime of life into
its maturity, is a transition at once se
rious and exciting. Hitherto wo looked
only onward, and our life by hope was in
the future; henceforth, wo shall look most
ly backward, and our life by memory will
bo in the past. At tills point, wo stop
to pause and muse. Wo feel with the
young while going out of youth ; and we
claim to meditate with the old without
realizing age. Passion adds force to
thought; thought gives dignity to pas
siuii. Passion, thought and fancy, come
together, and are made in imagination ’all
compact.’ This, perhaps, is the time in
our nature when there is most of interest,
and even most of romance ; when there
are the most suggestive contrasts and
tuinglings between shadows and the lights
of our existence. It is a time of ques
tioning. Problems, doubts, difficulties
beset us, which before we had not expe
rience to estimate, or calmness to ponder,
and which after this, wo must solve in
lay aside. It is a time of satire. Much
latjr satire becomes repulsive. What in
the mature may be merely critical, seouis
in a graver ugc to be misanthropic.
From the old wo expect counsel and not
ridicule ; not wit, hut wisdom. An old
satirist is almost as odious as an old sen
sualist. This transition-timo Shakspeare
lias embodied in such plays as “ Hamlet”
and “As You Like it.” Both are
pregnant with the metaphysics and criti
cism of life ; as keenly iu Touchstone at,
the lowest extreme, as in the royal think
er at the highest; while some qualities
of each are found in the contemplative
Jacques, who in character ns well as in
condition occupies a middle ground be
tween them.
And so we come to autumn with its
ripe fruitage, its painted woods; with its
swollen torrents, its gorgeous aud its
gloomy skies, with its diffusive inspira
tion, which makes it Seem sr- ii all nature
| were rapt in thinking; with its living
; stillness which acts upon the soul like
music. It was in such a season of the
mind that (Shakspeare gave us (fthc-llo”
and “Macbeth.” Shakspeare had no
winter of years; for lie died while his
autumn was yet full; nor docs it appear
that he had any winter of the heart.
If I find an analogy of winter in the
order of his genius, it is only in that
which is most pleasing or most grand in
winter. There is an in-door winter;
when the wind rattles in the casements,
aud tho rain or snow beats against the
glasH; and we hear the dirges of troubled
spirits iu the air; then it is that wo re
fresh the fire, and trim the light, come
together iu friendly group, and long
wistfully for song and story. From the
quiet seriousuess of Siiakspearo’s later
! mind, we have in correspondence with
| these instincts, tho wild romance of
: “ Cymbcline,” the august supernatural
ism of “ The Tempest,” and the delight
i ful adventures of •• The Winter’s Tale."
But there is also an out-door winter: in
which wo come directly in contact witli
l its darkness, its storms, its terrors, and
j its powers. This is the winter that wc
meet in tho sterner exercise of .Sliaks
peare’s later genius ; iu “ (ioriolanus”—
| in “ Tirnon of Athens”—and in “Lear;”
lin the desolation of pride; in the rage
! of soorn ; in the fury of the will ; in the
j collected hurricane of all griefs, madness,
passion,—only exhausted in the exhaus
tion of misery and of life.
Perhaps it is in most fitting consisten
cy with the relations of Hliakspeai'e’s
genius to humanity - -that the individual,
.Shakspeare, should not be better known.
There are certain relations in which tin
personality of a man enters essentially ,
into his work ; in which character iH a j
part of his power. It is so with tin
orator. We want the man, tho man him
self, in his word; and, if we find he is
not in it, his word is hollow. We look
for personal belief, for persona! convic
tion, and without them, the finest effu
sion is but windy rhetoric. Wo seek for
the proof in tlm individual life. Kvi
dem-o of libertinism would take grapdent
even from tho sermons of Bossuet; and
proof of venality would leave the thunder
of Demosthenes without a bolt. The -
eloquence of Robespierre only chills and 1
disgusts. It is with tlm man of action
as with tlm man of speech. We con
cern ourselves with the motives of ii
statesman as well as with his measures :.
we determine his motives by our impres- J
sion of bis character, ami we gain our
impressions of bis character by wliut we
. learn of his deeds. Tho measures, how- '
ever just, wise, or useful, have but
temporary interest: the interest which is
[ immortal is in character. The character i
of Ctcsar is now of more interest than
all the Roman laws from Nuiuu to Jus
tinian. The character of Cromwell so
maintains its interest in history, that it
: is ever a fresh subject fur investigation.
Mon it is probable will always be alive
to enquiries on tho oharseter of Napo
leon ; and they will never come to a de
cision. Tho character of Washington
, is a greater power in the world than the
revolution which Washington conducted,
—its power is greater in the fact that,
no discussion or its truth, its unselfish
ness and its purity. All such men have
j to us most of tlietr reality in their indi
vidualism : it is by this they livo as po
tencies in time ; and by this wo reoog
, nuo their agencies oa earth. But men,
like Shakspeare, livo in their genius;
and their genius lives in their writings.
But even of writers, some we are willing
to associate with an age, to associate
with a country; with other writers we
will not do this, aud we can net. Let
Athens have Aristophanes—but the
whole of Greece shall not have old Ho
mer—wo givo Calderon to Spain; but
all nations own Cervantes. Dante be
longs to Italy; Milton belongs to
England! but Shakspeare belongs to
Mam :
Kufus Choate and the Poet Rogers.
Hon. Rufus Choate delivered a splen
did discourse, the Boston papers s-iy,
before tin* Mercantile Library Associa
tion of that city, on Monday evening
last, on the Old Age of Samuel Rogers,
to an audience of four thousand persons.
Mr. Choate, says the Cornier, began
with an allusion to Mr. Everett’s recent
oration on Washington, arid a brief eu
logy of the father of iiis country, and
said a change from so grand a theme to
a mere disquisition on hooks, would be
a Very considerable descent. All authors,
however, agreed that descent is easy:
aud sometimes it might be found pleas
ant. A man who had long gazed upon
tho stupendous grandeur of the monarch
of mountains might with a sensation of
relief stoop to pluek au humble flower
growing at his feet, and happy would
this audience bo if they discover the
i living flower. Mr. Choato concluded as
follows:
It was in 1 SIB, just when this bril
liant constellation had passed its merid
ian in England, and had turned visibly
j to its setting, that Sydney Smith, ail at
\ once and incontinently, ejaculated, ‘-who
j reads an American book V” Alas! fori
all canonical prophecies. That was not
forty years ago; und yet have v.-o not
raised more and nobler altars to the Muse
of History [turning to W. 11. Prescott,
Esq., who sat near him upon the plat
form, amid great cheering,] than have
been reared iu England during that time,
though by far her ablest historians have
j been embraced in that period '! To what
j living man of genius can you go to-day
. to find that breadth and depth and spir
ituality and soul-felt sense of iho beauty
of nature aud of thought that flows, in
prose and verso; from the lips; wet with
more than Custaliun dews,,of our elder
Duua? Where will you go to find that
moral and instructive and philosophic im
agination of Bryant, at whoso touch all
things, the ages past, the future of Amer
ica, the majestic ocean, the far-reaching j
prairie, “the melancholy days, the sad
! dest of the year,” a grave, u water-fowl,
! a wind from the sea at evening, lifting
the curling locks of a sleeping child,
and passing on iu its circle of eternal
I 'luingc—all things nre to speak a thought
ful, touching and instructive poetry.—
And to what living man of genius will
I you go to find that loving, fresh and
happy fancy of Longfellow, and the
thousand who now, with u tear in tlm
eye, aud a smile on the lip, watch aud
weep at tho departure

THE PROSPECT BEFORE US.
Thu “Baltimore Republican," in tho
following article expresses the right sen*
timeut, aud lot this feeling govern our
party and success will bo cortuiu :
“ Every indication ill the political ho
rizon is in favor of tho success of tho
Democratic party. Tho Know-nothing
nomination, lias fallen like a funeral pt.U
upon the hopes of that mongrel associa
tion. We lliiuk Wo are safe iu sayiug
| that moro thau Otie-half of the presses
heretofore advocating that cause are op
posed to tlie nominees and refuse to sup
port them, while their Black Republican
allies, by whom their triumphs were al
most exclusively achieved, are deter
mined to have candidates of their own.
In almost every State the proscriptive
ordor is splitting asunder, aud the good
and the-true men of thu old Whig party
aro filling up the places made vacant iu
our ranks by thu desertion of thu tmio
sorvers and office seekers who have left
us. Tho present aspect of tho fight, is a
united, constitutional, national party,
composed of tho sound, conservative
elements of tlio Whig and Deuioeratio
parties, in opposition to the Abolition or
Rluck Republican, and the divided and
distracted Know-nolhinjs. In sueli u
light, iv.- have everything to hopo and
nothing to fear, ’lhoudds and ends of
all factions-—tho negro worshippers—
tho- prosoriptives—the disaffected—tiio
disappointed, and tho hangers on for the
poiU, can no longer agree and their di
vision is a certain Democratic triumph.
Without some extraordinary mistake iu
tho selection of our runnim vs, tlioro can
lie no doubt as to the result of the next
j Presidential election. In our beatjudg
j incut, there is not even a ghost of a
chance for the nominee* of the Know
| nothing.'. If they get as many States as
General Scott did, they will do more than
many shrewd politicians count upon. In
the meuntimo, however, we counsel our
friends to a prudent and conciliatory
course. Let there he no contention about
men. The nominees are more agents of
tiio party, destined to carry out the great
principles, which underlie tho organiza
tion of tho. otiiy con:-titutional party
which now exists. Men are temporary
and changing- principles, such as we
profess, arc immutable and eternal.
Tlie triumph of individuals is a mutter of
secondary and trifling consideration to
the country —but the triumph of great
principles is of deep and absorbing inte
rest to every one.”
Another Hiss Legislature.—Tim
I Cincinnati Enquirer speaks of the pros-
I cut legislature of Ohio in the following
plain style:
“ The present legislature of Ohio bids
fair to rival and exed in beautiful legis
lation und ui fulness the celebrated con
clave of Joseph Hiss notoriety, which
last year ruled Massachusetts. Never
! was there congregated ut Goluuibus bu
| fore such a number of ignoble and iut-
I practicable fanatics, and never did dem
ugogucisiu and hypocritical cant so effec
tually rule the destinies of tho great und
noble State of Ohio. It is however not un
expected to reasonable and discerning men
i who observ'd the auspices under which
j tiiin legislature was chosen, and the ele
ments of which it was composed. The
I people were warned that it would plnngo
into all kinds of fanatical fully, and ev- u
I the specific acts that it would probably
J puss wero named. Those predictions
were scouted at by our opponents, but
I time has proved them true.
Only .Skis Di.ep. —The Ohio States
man says: “ They elected a slaveholder
Clerk of ths House of (Congress—tlu-y
elected a slaveholder Doorkeeper of the
snm# Imilv. They hud axl ivolmldur for
tlicir president ut the I'itlsbnrg conven
tion, and their wln-lo course- shows that
anti-slavery w ith then* is not 1 skin deep.’
provided they ran get into office, co
much for the c dared republicans.”

Doubtless.— Major Donelson says,
that if Geiu r.ti Jackson wi re alivo lie
would be with him (Major D.) Idouht

were alive Major D .nelson would uot bj
