Special eorrenpoiulcnce of the Uvhl Leaf.
New York, May 27, 1837.
Ilunflretls ot magazine readers, when
the signiture of Nora l'erry was first
seen attached to poetical contributions,
imagined that the name was merely a
iiom tic plume, and speculation was in
dulged in as to the real identity of the
author. It was soon made evident,
however, that the name was not a fic
titious one. Miss Perry was then a
resident of Providence, K. I., but the
success which followed her literary ef
forts soon created in her a desire to
be nearer her publishers, and she re
moved to Boston, where she at present
lives. Miss Perrv is an assiduous wor-
authors, in which to write, the night
hours often find her busy at some story
or poem. She is a firm believer in
wording passing thoughts, and con
stantly keeps a note book near by at
all times in which stray suggestionsand
impressions are noted for future use.
"I write greatly from inspiration and
am a disciple of that school," Miss
l'erry says, and so her friends attest.
Her friendships are very numerous,
and include an intimacy with the poet
Whittier which is of long standing.
! Outside the literary arena Miss Perry
inclines to the acquaintanceship of ac
tors, and Ellen Terr)- and Sarah Bern
hardt arc included in her circle of
friends.
"The Recent Past viewed from a
Southern Standpoint; or Reminiscences
of a Grandfather," by Bishop YVilmcr
of Alabama is a book that should be in
every Sotitherp household. It treats
of civil as well as ecclesiastical matters,
and every page is full of interest.
Bishop Wiimer belongs to the verte
brates, and has the courage of his opin
ions. He thinks and writes strongly.
His review of the principles involved
in the late war and of some of its inci
dents; his memoirs of some of the
Southern Bishops, are very attractive.
It is illustrated with portraits, and is
from the press of M. Thomas Whitaker.
with a make-up worthy of the volume.
A new edition of a work of great
value and rare interest, by Rev. James
Freeman Clarke, with the title, "Life
and Times of Jesus, as related by Thom
as Didymus," is nearly ready for publi
cation by Lee ec Shepard, Boston.
This book was first published by the
firm in 18S1, and at once commanded
wide attention. Of the author's books,
this is his favorite one. It trives a
vivid picture of the world a: it was
when Jesus came, and brings before
the mind of the reader a remarkably
clear view of Jesus, his conversations
and acts, as they appear to his disci
ples and to strangers, placing him in
a new point of view, and showing him
as he must have seemed at first to his
followers. The book also explains ob-
1 scure passages and difficult texts in
the Gospels, and these explanations
are frequently tne result of much care-
j fu! labor. Besides, it gives the conclu-
' sions of the most recent investigations
i 0
by German and rrench savans; por
traving udaism in Egypt and Rome
in the first century, and indicating the
work which was done in proselyting
j by the Pharisees and zealous Jews,
j which ended in the Jewish war. The
I human side of the wonderful life ot
1
i lesus is drawn with striking power, by
j Dr. Clarke, giving its features as it must
! have appeared tc careless Romans, big-
otcd lews, or to open-minded men and
i women. The volume presents the re
I suits of profound study, while omitting
the processes by which those results
have been reached. It is entirely safe
to sav that no such nemucture of lesus
ever wfiu
I every page actually riveting the at-
tention of the reader bv the captiva
ting style of the narratives, and the
winning and inviting language, all in
vesting the intensely interesting subjects
with the "most charming vividness, and
lifting the great work to a place in the
realm of Christian biography and his
tory, beside "Ben Hur" in the realm of
j oriental romance.
G. P. Putnam's Sons will print at
j once in their series
of "Questions of

1 ward Atkinson before the Boston
Labor Union, on the subject of "The

With this address will be printed the
reply of Mr
r f Chamberlain, ren
resenting the Labor Union and Mr.
Atkinson's rejoinder to the reply. The
volume will contain certain tabular rep
resentations analysing .the sources of
the product and the division of the
product of labor and capital, together
with a chart entitled "The Labor
.Spectrum," which presents the full de
tails of the pre.-ent division of profits.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett has
decided views upon the appearance of
the portraits of authors and prominent
persons in newspapers and magazines.
To a correspondent who recently solic-
ited a copy of a portrait of herself for
publication in a magazine, the autho
ess wrote : "Theie is nothing more
painful to contemplate than a picture
of one's self in a book or newspaper. If
one is a beauty one's reputation is in
stantly destroyed and if one cannot af
ford to have any percentage taken off
one's good looks, the consequences are
that one's secret hopes are blasted, and
one's most timid and modest confi
dence in one's self forever a ruin-"
The brilliant Dr. Julius Stinde
whose sparkling "Buchholtz Family"
was so widely read and enjoyed both
here and in Germany, makes his ap
pearance again in a collection of very
charming stories, translated into ex
ceptionally good English. These
"Woodland Tales" are refreshing in
their simplicity, delicate in sentiment,
sparkling in humor and suggestive in
moral. The volume comes from the
press of Thomas Whittaker, New York.
In literary "small talk" I note the
following items: Mr. W. I). Howells
is going to Europe next month, to re-
main a year at least. Mr. Julian Haw
thorne has given up newspaper work, :
and is devoting himself to the writing J
of fiction. Mr. E. S. Brooks, author!
of "Historic Boys," and many other
books for young people, has recently j
severed his connection with the Ccn.
tutx Magrzine to accept an editorial
position in a Boston publishing house.
Mrs. Anna Bowman Dodd, author of
that delightful book "Cathedral Days,"
is the daughter of Stephen Bowman
Blake, a well known New York mer
chant. Mrs. Dodd has been engaged
in literary work for a number of years,
but her productions hitherto have been
confined chiefly to art criticisms and
magazine articles. Mr. George V.
Cable is visiting the southern part of
Louisiana is search of "color" for a
story which he is writing, a sequel to
"Grande Pointc." j
Messrs. Roberts Brothers, of Boston,
have in press a new book of social
studies by Mrs. Louise Chandler Moul
ton, ranging over such topics as "Rose
buds in Society," "Young Beaux and
Old Bachelors," "Engagements,"
"After Marriage," and other similar
vital experiences, which are discussed
with exquisite refinement, good srense,
and unfailing charm. The book con
sists of a collection of essays on these
social subjects, matters which she is
particularly calculated by experience
and insight to discuss. Long social
experience in the most brilliant cir
cles in her own country and abroad
has given her a large fund of observa
tion from which to draw, and the book
will be one not only interesting, but
iggestive and valuable. "Ourselves
and Our Neighbors" is the title of Mrs.
Moulton's book.
One of the most notable and inter-
esting articles that have appeared as
yet among the rich array of notable ones
offered us in Scribners Magazine, was
that published in February, on "The
Likeness of Caesar," by Mr. John C.
Rojies. In the June number of this
magazine Mr. Ropes wijl treat some
portraits of Napoleon and his times
very much in the same way. The il
lustrations are from his valuable collec
tion of Napoleon's portraits, three of
them beinir full nacre illstrations. The
"L'npublished Letters of Thackeray''
are to be further enriched bva number
of his drawings reproduced from the
rare collections privately printed by
Sir Arthur Elton. Mrs Robert Louis
Stevenson contributes a story, "Miss
Pringle's Neighbors."
Mrs. Nathaniel Conklin (Jennie M.
Drinkwater), who is the author of sev -
eral successful volumes,. has just brought
out another through her publishers,
Robert Carter & Brothers, of this city,
bearing the somewhat unique title,
"Isabel's Between Times." It is a
story for girls. The most striking per
sonality in this story is a congregation
alist Minister, Prosper Dekker, whose
sayings remind me of George Macdon
ald. The tone is bright, wholesome,
instructive, and helpful.
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, the
sister of our President, has become as
sociated with Mrs. Martha J. Lamb
in the editorial work cf the Magazine
of American Histoty. Miss Cleveland
will write over her own signature in
this magazine. A. Roscower.

A Pathetic Story of Home Life that Has
Sadness in Every Line.
F3I. L. Itayne in Detroit Free Tress.
Childreu are counselors. They are
to our hard, practical, everyday lives
what the stars are to the heavens, or
the flowers and birds to the earth.
Ah ! what would the world be to us
If the children were no more'.'
We should dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before.
There is a family in thj.s city who
are dependent at this moment upon a
little child for all the present sunshine
of their lives.
A few weeks ago the young -wife
and mother v. as striken down to die.
It was so dreadful when the grave
family physician called them together
in the parlor, and in his solemn, pro
fessional way intimated to them the
truth there was no hope!
Then the question aroe among
them, who would tell her?
Not the doctor! It would be cruel
to let the man oi science go to their
dear one on such an errand.
Nor the young husband, who was
walking the floor with clinched hands
and rebellious heart.
Not there was only one other, and
at this moment he looked up from the
book he had been playing, with unno
ticed by them all and asked gravely :
"Is my mamma doin' to die?"
Then, without waiting for an answer,
he sped from the room and up stairs
as fast as little feet would carry him.
Friends and neighbors were watch
incr bv the sick woman. They won-
derinulv noticed the pale face of the
r-hibl nc bp flindlPfl fill hn bed and
I IVA ...- JW v - - w
laid his small head on his mother's
pillow.
"Mamma," he asked, in sweet, ca
ressing tones, "is you 'fraid to die?"
The mother looked at him - with
swift intelligence. Perhaps she
had
been thinking of this.
Vho told you Charlie ?" she
asked, faintly.
"Doctor an' papa an' gamma ev-
erybody," he whispered. "Mamma,
dear little mamma, doan' be 'fraid to
die, 'ill you?"
"No, Charlie," said the young
mother alter one supreme pang ol gnet:
"mi. mnmma won t lie airaitl.
"lus' shut vour eves in 'e
dark,
mamma, teep
when you open
hold my hand an
em, mamma, it'll be
all light there."
When the family gathered awe-strick-
en at the ledside, Charlie held up his
, little hand.
"Hu-s-h! My mamma doan to
sleep. Her won't wake up here any
more!"
And so it proved. There was no
heartrending farewell, no agony of
nartinsr. for when the "young mother
: woke she had passed beyond, and as
a
baby Charlie said, "it was
all
light
there.'

ished the world. It is without doubt the

Colds and the severest Lung troubles. It
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry tip a couii ami leave me

the "parts affected and leaves them in a

REST.
The Boon that all Mankind Seeks.
Greenville lteflector.
'Oh. some seek bread no more life's
niprn sjilisistenee!
And some- seek wealth and ease 4he
common quest;
And some seek fame, that hovers in the
distance;
Hut all, at last, seek rest!'
Aye ! when we are finishing up this
Book of Life, as we see, with eyes
grown misty with a nameless longing,
I the last page completed and gently
j press the eternal blotter oi Death over
the last line; when our pleasures nave
palled; when life's fairest and brightest
chaplets of flowers are withered and
dead, leaving only "ashes of roses'- to
mark the spot where they once bloomed,
so sweet and fragrant, when life's fruits
are bitter as the apples gathered from
the Dead Sea shore; when we search
in vain for the waters of Lethe to steep
our senses in a draft of forgetfulness
at that day, even those to whom
change and excitement and gayety
were existence, at last turn away their
weary eyes, their drooping limbs, and
sigh for rest.
Yet, 'tis sweeter to have earned that
guerdon that calm and repose which
follow toil, whether it be of the body
or mind, the tired hand or the tired
brain; each are glad to lay down the
burden of the day and seek a rest.
Forgetting the toil, the task behind,
hard though they may have been they
are of the past and steeping all in
the dreamy oblivion of sweet rest.
For the nonce too happy to look ahead
and trouble the mind with the cares
and toils that lie before us, we rest
peacefully and sweetly.
'T am tired. Heart and feet
Turn from busy mart and street ;
I am tired ; rest is sweet."
But what of the outworn heart;
laden with anxious care, and busy,
wandering thoughts? Only can it
breathe a prayer in words such as
Richter's :
"Oh, Rest ! thou soft word ! Au
tumnal flower of Eden! moonlight of
the spirit! when wilt thou hold our
head that it may be still, and our
heart that it may cease beating?
Thou comest often and goest often,
but only down below with sleep and
death thou abidest !
It is not for us this blessed privi
lege to often indulge our senses so
blissfully. We can not tell why, and
yet 'twas ever so :
"Some find work where sonic find rest,
And so the weary world goes on :
I sometimes wonder which is best.
The answer comes when life is done.
"Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above a grave."
And yet all our wonderings can but
be answerd at best by vague conjec
tures, sometimes wild and utterly im-
probable
Wc can not know why
We can only say and are
I this is so
conscious of the fact, in the beautiful
words of our lamented Southern Poei-
Priest, Father Ryan :
"My feet are wearied and my hands are
tired.
My soul oppressed
nd I desire, what 1 have long desired
Rest only rest.
My way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
My path, and through the fldwing of hot
tears
I pine for rest."
Wandering far away from home,
from our native land the place of
our fathers, the feet of our mothers
the mind may for a time become so
engrossed by the sight of new scenes
and faces, new friends and acquaint
ances as to forget ; but soon, ah ! too
soon, we are longing for "Rest only
rest." And to the returning traveler,
the sweet vision of his own dear home
has beguiled away the fatigue of many
a dreary mile, while the stars have
sung of restfulness as they cheered his
lonely path. Or the mariner, home
ward bound, long watched and waited
for all his past toil and danger are
forgotten as he nears that sweet haven
of rest.
And upon a final rest let us listen
to Father Ryan :
"And I am restless still ; 'twill soon be
o'er ;
For down the west
Life's sun is setting, and I see the shore
Where I shall test."
And now, just one tender, touch-
r I l.nn.niniT
ing quotation irom .uis. muninuo,
and 1 am done. Hear her :
Oh, princely lot! Ob, blissful art !
E'en while by sense of change opprcst,
Tims to forecast in heart
Heaven s age 01 tearless resi :
And I jov to think God's greatness
Flows round our faithful quest.
And for earth's restlessness,
He gives Bis rest I"
An exchange says; "Every man re
veres and loves a pure woman; but it
takes a christian to hate a fallen one."
This is not right; Christ was the
first to extend a helping hand to those
in need, but alas! how is his example
followed by many of those now passing
under his name." Winnipeg Sifiings.

How History will be Written.
- Rockingham Rocket.l
These many years has the war been
over. . The roots of business, left by
strife, have long since been practically
eradicated from the Northern and
Southern mind. There is no real en
mity between the sections. "The truth
we fought for" as put by ex-President
Davis will never be fought for again,
and the Union, if ever to be broken,
must be broken by the other side.
But there was danger that the South,
with all her interests as connected with
the war and the causes that led to it,
would pass into History under a wick
edly false showing. To an unfortu
nate extent such has leen the case.
Northern minds, sorely diseased with
prejudice, have been busy in incubating
lies sometimes conscientiously, it is
true, but lies, nevertheless, for the de
lectation and enlightenment of ks
terity; and these jaundiced accounts
formulated into History will never
cease to be the stock in trade for
penny-a-liners and political hucksters
to harp upon in the effort to degrade
our people and their cause, and to pro
mote sinister purposes. But the South's
vindication, as we are glad to see, is
slowly and surely coming to the front.
Her people and the world have been
only too tardy in self-assertion. The
engines of a venal press and vaunt
ingly hostile advocates have kept pace
with the progress of the years in mis
representations and slanders of the
South until her own people seemed in
clined to cower under repeated blows,
some, alas, to lick the hands that smote
them while the world looked on in
differently. ' But in these latter days
we see accumulating evidences that the
truth of Southern History will be vin
dicated in the end. Our traditionary
glory will be preserved despite the ef
forts of hardened foes, aided by the
neophyte recruits, to boost the New at
the expense of the Old South. We re
joice to see that writers of the religious
press, as well as of the purely literary
and political, have taken up the cudgel
manfully and are striking at the truth
of the matter. The Nashville Chris
tian Advocate published in the shadow
of Vanderbilt University where the
puling sycophant, Cable, is to preach
"New South," philosophy soon ad cx
tremum el ad nauseam lias recently
given some telling blows on the sub-
ject.
We publish on our first page this
week a capital article on the same line
from the pen of a Mississippi gentle
man. That grand old character, the
Southern slave-holder true type of
the better days of the Republic has
received at the hands of Mr. Lamar a
just portrayal. No passage in his fine
address at the unveiling oi the Cal
houn statue contains more eloquent
truth than does his tribute to the much
abused slaveholder whom he describes
in his true light as a man of patriotic
impulses, loyal to the Constitution,
and iaithful to the principles of right
and justice. Virginius Dabney, if he
docs naught else, has served his gen
eration well in civine: the "Story of
Don Miff to the world a novel, 'tis
true, but made the vehicle by which to
hand down to coming days the true
picture of Southern life and the high
purposes that governed the people of
the South. A famous English Gen.
eral, in MacMillan's Magazine, has
lately electrified the reading world
with a thrilling sketch of General I-ee;
and, while confirming the great Cap
tain's well earned fame, the writer ac
cords due resnect to the cause for
- 1
which he fought. Fortunate indeed
for the South that her leading General
has a biographer in the leading com
mander of England s great armies.
Sherman may wince under the praise
of the Southern hero, but hts ranting
denial of the Englishman's statement
of the truth of History, as represented
by Lee's career in the war, will not
affect the judgment of mankind
either as to Iee or Sherman. Gen
eral Long a member of Iee's staff
and intimately associated with him
during the whole war hxs also writ
ten a life of his commander which is
lecoming to be regarded as probably
the best book yet written on the war.
We rejoice to know that every honest
effort to turn on the light of truth will
be an aaditional guarantee that the
cause of the South, her people and
heroes, will occupy the position m
History that plain justice demands.
