The Clarion.
THE SORROW OF THE SEA.
A dsy of fading light upon the sea ;
Of ses-birds wiuging to their rocky cave ;
Anil ever with iU monotone to me,
The sorrow of the waves.
They leap and lash among the rocks and
sands,
Wh:te-lipp'i, as with a guilty secret
toss d,
Forever feeling with their foamy hands
For something they have lost.
Far out, and swaying in a sweet nnrest,
A boat or two against the light is seen,
Dipping their sides within the liquid breast
Of waters dark and green.
And further still, where sea, aud sky have
kiss'd'
There falls, as if from heaven's own thres
hold light
lTpon faint hills that, half-enswathed in
mist,
Wait for the coming night.
But still, through all this, life and motion
meet.
My thoughts are wingless and life dead in
in e.
Or dimly stir to answer at ray feet
The sorrow of the sea.

It is a hundred, years ago, on the 3d
of April, that Washington Irving was
born in the city of New York, ahd he
is still ita most famous son. The only
New-Yorker who could dispute this
claim is John Jay. But universal and
honorable as is Jay's renown in his own
country, the name of Irving is more
familiar to the English-speaking race..
It is the synonym of a sweet literary
grace and harmless gayety of humor
which retain their charm in the midst
of new tastes and among powerful rivals.
Irving no longer shares with Byrant and
Cooper the glory of being the sole or
chief representatives of American liter
ature, but he is stilll and forever its
kindly patriarch, the modest author who
hrst modestly answered the truculent
question, Y ho reads an American book ?
by ottering to the world an American
book which it was delighted to read.
1 hat instrinsically modest air never
disappeared either from the works or
Ixhe character 01 the benign writer. In
the height pfjiis renown there was no
and of presumption or conceit in his
simple and generous heart. Some time
liter his return from his long absence
in Europe, and before Putnam became
his publisher, he found some disinclina
tion upon the part of publishers to issue
lew additions ot his books, and he ex
pressed with entire good-humor his be
Iter that he had had his day ; and meet
ing some vears afterward, in Mr. I'm-
ain's office, one of the youngest of lit-
Irary beginners, lie said, with a
iuniorous twinkle in the eve, and with
le husky whispering voice which gave
proper flavor to every pleasantry,
We old fellows had the advantage of
lou young men tor we wrote without
ivuls."
Everv literary man of li ving's time,
rlietber old or young, had nothing but
ectionate praise or his artless urbanitv
pel exhaustless good-nature. These
lalities are delightfully reflected in
aekerav s stories ot lum in - the
mndabout 'Paper upon Irving and
lacaulay "the Goldsmith and the
Lbbon of our time." He came to one
my lectnree in Washington, Thacke-
Iysys, and the retiring President, Mr.
llmore, and his successor, Mr. Pierce,
fro present "1 wo kings of Brentford
elhng at one rose," said Irving, with
good-humored smile. In his little
cr of a home at Sunnyside he was
lys accessible. One English newa
t man came and introduced himself,
partook of luncheon with' the fami-
and while the host fell into the little
e which was his habit, the wary
ilishman took a swift inventory of
rything in the house, and served up
description to the British public,
hiding the nap of his entertainer. At
tucr time Irving said, two persons
e to me, and one held me in conver-
m while the other miscreant took mv
rait."
laekerav tells these little stories with
iring sympathy. His manly heart
ys grew tender over his lellow
ors who had no acrid drop in their
t humor. Irving was the earliest
tnerican satirists, but there is no
g in the laughter that he moves,
was the first of our humorists, but
jhnrnor is pure lymph. It is unmixed
malice, and although, as Warner
s,even his friend Gulian Verplanck
fited a little the fun of Knickerbock-

of fair Mannahatta assumed to be

er Because he owns the i-hm-m f
Knickerbocker. It is with good fame as
with true love,
"That to divide is not to take away."
Knickerbocker's History was the work
of a young man of twenty-sis, who lived
hfty years afterward, with a constantly
increasing fame, making many awl ad
mirable contributions to literature.
But nothing that followed surpassed the
joyous brilliancy and gay felicitv of the
earliest work. Appearing in the midst
of the sober effusions of our Puritan lit
erature, and o a grave and energetic
life still engrossed with the subjugation
of a continent and the establishment of
a new nation, Knickerbocker's History
was a remarkable work. To pass the
vague and venerable traditions of the
austere and heroic founders of the eitv
through the alembic of a youth's hilari
ous creative humor, and turn them out
in Forms resistlessly grotesque, but with
their identity unimpaired, was a stroke
as daring as it was successful. The au
daaious Goth of the legend who plucked
the Roman Senator by the beard was
not a more ruthless iconocast than this
son of New Amsterdam, who drew his
civil ancestors from venerable obscurity
by flooding them with the cheerful light
of a blameless fun.
The skill and -power with which this is
done can be best appreciated bv those
who are most familiar with the history
which the gleeful genius burlesques.
Irving follows the actual story closely.
and the characters that he develops
faithfully, although with smiling cari
cature, are historical. Indeed, the fidel
ity is so absolute that the fiction is
welded with the fact. The days of
Dutch ascendency in New York are in
extricably associated with this ludicrous
narrative, the Wouther Van 1 wilier,
the Wilhelnius Kief, the Peter Stuyve-
sant, who are fairtiliarlv and' popularly
known, are the figures drawn by Died
rich Knickerbocker. In a comical
despair the historian Grahame, whoso
Colonial history is still among the best,
says of Knickerbocker, "If Sancho Panza
had been a real Governor misrepresented
by the wit of Cervantes, his future his
torian would have found it no easy mat
ter to bespeak a grave attention to the
annals of his administration."
Irving's position in literature is assur
ed, although literary fashions will
change, and critics will stoutly and in
geniously maintain their varying views
of the quality and character of his gen
ius. Horace Binney Wallace, one of
his most careful American critics, denies
him both imagination and humor, and
finds him to be at once an extreme real"
ist and caricaturist. Others hold him to

AVENfi: DE Jr.XA, Paris,!
March 1st. )
My Dkvk Attohnky-Gexkral: I
hardly know how to express the emo
tions with which I read your letter of
yesterday. I trust I can appreciate, as
it deserves, so Mattering a testimonial to
my professional career, emanating from
the leading members of the English bar,
and it rs an honor of which I shall ever
be proud. But I am more deeply
touched by the assurance that I am per
sonally held in such high regard by my
brethren in the profession as to receive
the assurance of their desire that I
should still be considered by them all as
a friend whose sympathies are to sur
vive the severance of our professional
relations. How heartily I respond to
this desire it surely is not necessary to
express.
I have not the courage to decline the
offer of which you have so kindly made
yourself the intermediary. The state of
my health, however, is suck that it is
impossible for me now to name a date
at which I could be present in London;
but as the season advances and the
weather becomes more propitious, I have
strong hopes of being aide to pass a few
weeks in London, and if so, I will then
appoint some day convenient to my
friends for their collective farewell.
I remain, my dear James,
Yours very sincerely,

exquisite literary art, the freshness and
gayety and originality Knickerbocker,

idyllic England of the Sketch-Book and
Braeebridge Hall, the picturesque and
poetic narrative of the Columbus, all
touched by the nameless grace of a gen
tle, humane, refined, and healthy .e lius
secure to him as to Goldsmith a long
and affectionate remembrance. His own
aspiration, in the words which Willis
oddly selected for the motto of his sec
ond volume, Fugitive Poetry, published
in 1827, has been amply' fulfilled: ''If,
however, I can by lucky chance, in these
days of evil, rub out one wrinkle from
the brow of care, or beguile the
heavy heart of one moment of sadness;
if I can, now and then, penetrate the
gathering film of misanthropy, prompt
a benevolent view of human nature, and
make my reader more in good-humor
with his fellew-beings and himself
surely, surely, I shall not then have
written entirely in vain."
The portrait of Irving which adorns
this number of the Magazine is taken
from the picture painted by his friend
Stnart Newton, ten years after the pub
lication of the Knickerbocker, when Irv
ing was thirty-six years old. It belonged
to John Murray, the publisher, and
shows the Irving of the Sketch-Book
and the Columbus, the Irving of the
sunnv hour when Bvron wrote to Moore
that the American author's books r.ere
his delight, and the evergenerous Scott
pleasantly told him, as Warner recalls,
"Your naaie is up, and may go
From Toledo to Madrid."
Irving's name has gone farther, and his
native city may well reflect, on the cen
tenary of fiis birth, upon the odd caprice
of fortune which has made her most il
lustrious son the least representative of
her character and interests. Jorge

Fifty women are enrolled as regular

are others who are pursuing a post-grad-uite
course. A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press has been visiting the
university, and says in regard to this
matter: ""I have talked with professors
and non-professors, with men and wom
en students, and with such as are not

there is no question whatever as to the
success of co-education.
It operates as naturally, healthfully,
and as much to the positive benefit of
both sexes, as can the best and most ele
vating social relations. The men and
women behave better and are more self
respecting than when educated in one-
schools. Bather more than half the
women live in Sage College, and the
other half are lodged in private houses.
They are entirely untrammeled, as are
the men, living how and where they
please, and, of course, without the super
vision of a matron as in 'boarding

The Dove.
The Dove, in its larger aspect of gen
tleness" and constancy" has, of course,
no place in this article, but as one of the
most popular of the poets' standards of
beauty, deserves conspiuous precedence.
The softness of its plumage -"the soft,
rich plumage of the dove?' is a poeti
cal proverb; and the tender expression
of its eyes as seen by the poets "an
affirmation that is unto them as an ax
iom." Pity, Truth, Peace and Plenty
are all "dove-eyed ;" and so, too, is the
Morning; and so, too, are half the wom
en of poets' homage. And oh Cunning
ham's authority we may accept their
color as blue. Peace, Pity, Love, and
the Hours have also "the" wing of the
dove," and these (on the testimony of
many poets) are white, or "silver." The
wings, indeed, area frequent point of
comparison, and associated invariably
with happiness and affection in their
most beautiful aspects. "The graceful
neck" is specially admired, but, above
all, that lovely play of opaline tints
which makes the dove's throat and
breast SO surpassingly lovely "various
as the dyes on the dove's neck"
"Its hues, guy-varying as the Orient beam,
Varies the neck of Cytherea's dove ;"
"like a dove's neck she shifts her trans
ient charms." It is, nevertheless, the
whiteness of the dove, the "dove-like
candor" of Parnell, that most attracts
the poets. White hits always been the
emblematic hue of innocence and truth,
so te doves of the poets may be said to
have prescriptive right to it. They arc
"silver doves," like to "new-i'allen
snow." "snowy-birds" of milky hue;'
and beyond this, a conjunction of silver
snow and milk, whiteness can hardly go.
Crashaw, indeed, extends this color to
its feet "When will it sillier its white
feet to rest?" he asks, But his bird, it
true, was the Dove of Heaven, while
Moore's pigeons
" With their rich, restless wings, that gleam
Variously in the crimson beam
Of the warm Westas if inlaid
With brilliants of the mine, or made
if tearless rainbows, such as span
Th' unclouded skies of PenUtan "
are only "Lai la Tlookh" pigeons, and
not "the dove" proper of poesy. Nor
can the note of the dove be denied a
sentence in a notice of "Birds of Bong,"
for many call its cooing "a song," while
Kirk White even says it 'Svarhjes.
But as a "rule, except, of course, when
it is only melancholy, the dove's voice
is described as "mellow," "mellifluous"
and "melodious," tnat 'makes music
that sweetens the calhi," or "softly
blends with the general ouire of
woodland harmony." Robinson,
