LiL^VS; This work, in which the well-known versatile powers of Hie author seem to contend for superiority, in which nil the I elements of composition are expended, I produces in the mind of the render what' Victor Hugo bim?elf would call "a species J1 of profound bedaaszlcuient;" for there is at;' first, no more definite name for the effect J1 of this power which absorb* ever.r faculty i1 of the mind, erery passion of the soul? | J which continually astonishes tho intellect, r and invades the heart, which overpowers ?1 both with antitheses tn which are condensed , ' beaten and bell?finally, which searches j1 the whole soul, and wrings|the|honrUo ex-1' haustion. Knowledge and power in this i4 book, unite equally over "the cedars of 1 Lebanon and the hyssop that grows be- j' bind the wall.'' Whether he explains to you the French Revolution or the newest ' proccss of making black brads in u certain 111 province whether be liuld. up before rou ! Napoleon or Coaetliadoll; whether he loads : 1 rou tblsnj-h the labyrinth! of n human j ' soul or the intricacies of a I'arhinn sewer; ' whether he discourses to you of tbeecatucy of love or the origiu of slang,; it \j all the ' same?each is perfect, and all are wonder- 1 ful. We might say that the book is n ' series of antitheses, in action as in diction j ?a collection of contrasts, powerfully || blended and mado bartnouious. 'One can ? easily imagine the dilliculties in the way of (1 x translation?and admirable as it is, even 1 * a Plight knowledge of the peculiarities of'* the original enables one to appreciate the c loss which such a hook sustains in being !' transferred to our colder, slower, more lit ^ eral language. The graceful extravagance, fc the delicate subtlety, the passionate ab-1 c ruptness, when reduced to Knglish is like f what tho author says "of the sweet and >t adorable.language of children, which, like I the glistening of butterflies wings, disap- 11 appears when you try to find it." a One iudntice, out of many others, of the ' J' difficulty of preserving the exact idea amid I a da//.ling, almost bewildering accumula- ' tion of nouns, adjectives and adverbs, each ?" of which convey a different xh.tde and \ meaning, is the description of Inspector' | J?vert's mind when tho Identity of Mon- 1 sieur Madeleine and Jean Van Jean, the con- i1 vict, is revealed. "There was in his victo- i | ry a remnant of detiauee and contest; up- i right, buughly, and dax*lmg, ho displayed 1 the (iiiperliutnaa bestiality of a TcrociouH arch angel in the bright azure of lirtven.? J The formidable shadow of the deed hu was i doing render*! risible to his clutching fira^ 1 the Hashing social sword. Happy and in- ' dignatit. be held beneath his heel, crime, , vice, perdition and hell; ho was radiant, i he exterminated, be smiled, and there was an incontestable grandeur in this monstrous I' | St. Michacl. And hero we pay a passing i' tribute of admiration to this incomparable ii | piece of consistency?this curious petre-, faction of humanity?tliii adamantivecon- {' cretion of law and order, Javert. The j stern uniqueness of the life and death of' this man is sublime. It sarins, however, ! entirely useless to detach any of these characters from their intiicate connection I with the whole. There are some elaborate j pictures iu the book which stand nut dia tinct, complete in themselves-such aa Lewis i'hillippe, Napoleon. The latter is gtandly summed up in the light of destiny. "Other fatalities were to arrive. Was it possible for Napoleon to win the battle ?? We answer hi the negative, Why? fin account of Wellington, on account ol Blucher? No; on account of (Jod. Nona parte, victor at Waterloo, did not harmon ize with the loss of the nineteenth century. I Another series ot facts were preparing in, ' which Napoleon had no longer any pUce; the 1 ill will of events had been displayed long j previously. It wan time for this vast man | to fall: his excessive weight in human des tiny disturbed the balance. This Individ. 1 | ual alone was of more account than the 1 universal group ; such plethorus ol human vitality concentrated iu a single head?tho I world mounting to one man's brain, would 1 I be mortal to civilization if they endured. ' | The moment bad airived for the incorrup- , | tlblo equity to reflect, and ll is probable I that the principles and elements in which ] I the regular gravitations of the moral order , I as of the material order depend, complain, i ed. Streaming blood, over crowded grave l yards, mothers in tears are formidable 1 pleaders. Napoleon had been denounced J iu infinitude, ami his fall was decided.? Waterloo is not a Imttle, hut a trausforma* Hon of the universe." Everybody who has , not rend Ihis book wi" rMd ll-?e miKhl say that the world ij busy reading it at present sioce seven different languages are already scattering it broadcast, and the Mage is rehearsing it with grand dramatic effect as we may well imagine when were member the wonderful intricacies ol theplot, Iti eiquislle turning;, its thrilling suspense, and its heart-rending finale. Hut this won ilerful product of genius offers something more than maleri.il (or the drama; It is too august, too lofty, too comprehensive lor the stage. We pause before it, and are over-awed by its rastntss. It is ? great panorama?it is ? sublime compound. It is "Ihe songol songs," sung for the mis erable, and it rises into '.he grandeur of an epic, wliojo great fact Is misery. H has, si we see, its hero-warrior, righting upon the plains of life; Ajax struggling Kith blindness, praying for light; or Chris liau fighting Apollyoc, down in the valley. The moral needs no summing up. We get it as we go along, in such lives as the Bishop's Jean Val Jean's, and Famine's. There is nothing more moving, more sor rowful, tban the contrasted lives of Kpo nine and Cosette. The fulness and beauty of the one through love and kindness; the desertion?the starvation, body and soul? in the other for waul of il. Victor Hugo loves the people; he com prebends find compassionates them ; and lie is the great champion lor their rights; Ihe great expounder ol their wants, social, moral, and political. And the ameliora lions ho proposes are not Utopian or St. jimonian. lie is not a dreamer; he nil lerstauds the age, the diseases, and the, emediea it contains. He ?P?k? bke, .outs ISlunc for the people and their rights, ,?t without the bitterness of radicalism t ,nd he wishes to revolutionize only by lulling down the thrones of ignorance, J ?ride, and superstition. In such a spirit of love is all (bis supc lor wisdom aud boundless knowledge, Micated to humanity, that to begin to ,?i?l out the limits or weaknesses this ,?ok may have, would indeed be an unen riaUle task, and one which we vv.lliugly eave to the professional critics, Wc conclude with one of his philosophic lews of the age, in which a noble faith in he humanity he pleads for is nobly ei tressed: i. We shall never grow weary "[ repeat nir that to think before all or the disin- ; ??ited and sorrowlul classes, to relieve, | entilate, enlighten, and love them ; and j nvish upon '.hem education is every, haiie to offer them the example of labor, .nd never that of indolence; to easen the Tciiiht of the individual burden by In reasing the notion of the universal object; o limit poverty wilboot limning wealth , 0 create vast Held# of public and popular ictivity. to have, like llriaseus, a huodred lands to stretch out on all sides to the rushed and the weak; to employ the olleclive power in opening workshops or every arm, scliuols lor every apti ude, and lahoratories lor every Intel eel, to increase wages, diminish be to I, mil balance the debit andcredlt, that IS to | ty, proportion the enjoyment to the effort, md the satisfaction to the wants; in a word, l ? evolve Irom the social machine, on be-, ullul those who suffer and those who arc gnorant.mor. lightaod more uomlorl-il, ind sy mpathetic souls must not forgot it, he first of brotherly obligations, and, let ?Holistic hearts leiiru the tact, the lirst political necessities. Ami all (Ins, we. are i joiind to add, is only a beginning, anil the j rue question is this: labor cannot be aw ; without boing a right, il nature Is called | .ruvidencr, society ought to cal . itself foresight. Intellectual and moral j ?rowlh is no lea* indispensable than natu ral amelioration; knowledge is a thinking Is a primajy necessity, and truth is nourishment, like wheat. A reason ast ing for knowledge and wisdom grows thin, ??l wo must nurse minds that do not ?t unite as much as stomachs. If there be anything more poignant than a body pin log away for want ol bread, It IS a mind that dies ol liuogir lor cnlight luenr The whole ol our progress tends townrds the solution, and some day will be stupilied. As thei human race ascends, the deepesl strata will iiatur ally emerge Iroul the miib of distress, and ihe elfacelnent ol wretchedness will be oirerl-d bv a simple elevation ol the level 1 Vol,I,? would do wrong lo doubt this I,leased solution. The past, we grant, is verv powerful al the present hour, and IS beginning again. He appears a victor, and is Vi coi,i|ueror: be arrives with his legion, mlicrslilioiis; Willi bis sword despotism; with his barrier Ignorance; aud during some past lie has gained the bailies. Hut *? have no reason lo despair ; lei tis sell the field on which Hannibal encamped, lor what can we, who believe, lear. iliwtluti, the work of twenly centuries, a at once ihemiiniler and the prodigy, and is worth saving . it will be saved, lo retain i, is much, and lo enlighten it is something. \lld i el some ol those who follow tin social clinics shake their heads at times, and ilia strongest, the most tender, and the most logical, have Iheir hours of despondency. Will the future arrive! Il aaems as if wo may almost ink ''""l"*^ lion on seeing so much terrible sha low. There is n sombre, hee-in-fi' e mee H ol j'e egoli.U .nd lhc wretched. In ioeB? tlal wo trace prejudices, the cloudiness ol a caste education, appetite growing with intoxication, and prosperity .hat stuns, a tear ol suffering which In some goes so far ainn aversion to the sulTorcr*, an llnplaca lile satlalnclioo, mill the feeling of self SO .wolleu that II close, the soul lu e wretched we find coveloiisness, ?n*Ji ll'? hatred of seeing otiiera auccessfil , the pro loiind bounds of the human wild beast at satisfaction, and hreaais full ol inial, sor uw want, fatolily, ?"d ?nd ?mp e Sranc". Musi we still raise our eye. to liesven' is Ihe luminous point which we lat hSS-i monstrously collected iround U; for all mat, though, II Is In no more danger Iban a star In the yawning In terval of the clouds. ArTgK this war, crulohes will be rejar Jed as insignia uf honor. \Ve?l Point AcatUuiy. The correspondent of tin* New Vork Times, in discussing the merits and de fects in the military school at West Point, argues that the latter are not peculiar to that institution, hut are found in all .\morican ('ollcges. lie observes: West i'oint is an admiral)!)' soliool of military art; hut it teaches nothing beyond tho art. What do you mean savw one?? I mean thin: that if a (icncral needed nothing but a knowledge of surveying, drawing, artillery, engineering, tactics, Sec,, West Point will make him complete, liut flincc he wants a great deal more than that?wants a broad, comprehensi-1 llle, philosophical mind?West Point does not immre him that by any means. Now the difficulty in it is that such mon as llct'lellan, Lee, iJueJJ, Ac., know everything about the art of war, but <fotliing about philosophy, and very little about their country. Pavis is, in thin re spect. very lar superior to them, because he has been accustomed to look upon men and things on it large scale. .Mitchell and Butler wcro far superior to tho (lenerals on the Potomac, for the very reason 1 have given; benuso the minds were en larged by general idoas ?This, then is the defect of West Point -that it i? only I a school of art. 1 Woman a* a Motive Pourr. What a wonderful solution t<> life's enig* ma there is in a pctticat goycrnment !? Man might lie iu the sunshine, ami eat lotuses, and fancy It "always afternoon," if his wile would let him ! ISutsho won't, bless her impulsive heart and active mind! She knows better than that. Who >*\er heard of a woman taking life a* it ought to be taken. Instead of supporting it as i an unavoidable nuisance only redeemable by its brevity, sho goes through it as if it were u pageant or a procession She dresses for it, and simpers, mid grins, uud gesticulates for it. She publics her neigh bors, and struggles for a good place iu the dismal march : cIIhiws, and writhes, and tramples, and prances to the one end of making tho most of misery. She gets up ettrlyand sits up late, and is loud, ami rest less, and noisy and unpityine. She drag* her liusbaud on to the woolsack, or push es him into parliament. Sim drives him full butt at the dear, lar.y machinery of government, and knocks mid buffets him ? about the wheels, and crank-, ami screws, and pulleys; until somebody, for quiet's : sake. mukc<<]iim something that she wants' him to be made. That's why incompe- ] tent men sometimes sit in high places, and interpose their poor, muddled intel- i lccts betw)'en the things to be dono tuul i the people that can do them, making uni-1 vernal confusion in the helpless innocence t of wcll-nlnced incapacity. The square { men iu round holes are pushed into tliem j by their wives. The Kastern potentate I who declared that women werent thohot-i torn of all mischiof, should have gone little farther and seen why it was so. It is because women are never lazy. They don't know what it is to bo quiet. They are Semiramides, and Cleopatra*, anil ?loan Arcs, Queen Kli/.abeths, and Cath erine the Seconds, uud they riot in battle, and murder, and clamor and desperation. If they can't agitate the universe and play at hull with hemispheres, they'll make mountains of warfare and vexation out of domestic molehills, nnd social storms in household teacups. Forbid them to hold forth upon the freedom of nations and the wrongs of mankind, and they'll quarrel with Mrs. .Jones about the shape of a mantle or tho charaeter of a small maid-servant. To call them the weaker is to utter a hideous mockery. They I are the stronger sex, the noisier, tho more ' persevering, tho more self-assertive sex. They want freedom ol opinion, variety of occupation, do they? I?ut them have it. Iiet them be lawyers, doc tors, preachers, toachors, soldier*, legis lators.?any thing they like?but let th?mi bo quiet?if they can. JViVt llrmi'toH.
