a'striutly impartial history, it s equally
impossible for a Southern critic to detect

we must be understood as looking at it
from a strictly Southern stand-points It
is not a history of tlie war alone, but of the

chief ri6n of tlie war was "the danger
to the rights of, the States that the South
era people thought was to be dreaded froin
the avowed prineipler. of : the Ilepublican

Afternoons With The. Poets, Harper k
Brothers, is a handsome volutnc, print-'
cd on tinted paper, devoted to essays on
the sonnet which the Professor who does
ih talking, ene;aS'-jni!werrAn"nfr'V
w literature. 'To the question as to why
oruswortn, wno speaks ot the sonnet as
a favorite form of poetica.1 composition
with several among the greatest of modern
poets, says nothing of its use . by the an
cients, he replies we owe its invention to
comparatively modern times, it being first
used in the thirteenth century, the first
poet of reiiovvn however who adopted the
sonnet and gave it the sanction of his ge
nius was Dante. But Petrarch brought
it to '.perfection'., and by his large and im-'
passionl use of it secured, for it the as-;
sured. rank in poetry which it immediately
gained and still maintains. '- '
The Professor considers it the diamond
of literature because it is brilliant, compact,,
"and most perfect when it is the most
skillfully cut and most highly polished :
and the rnost precious when its rude rich-
ness is the most elaborately perfected by
art. jAnd finally to complete the simile,
the perfect sonnet is as rare as the perfect
diamond.". Though Chaucer and Pe
trarch were contemporary and there is a
tradition that they met at the marriage of
"Lionel, Duke of Clarence, to the daughter
of the Duke of Milanj it was reserved for
two far inferior but genuine poets to graft
the "difficult novelty" upon ; the stem of
English.;: literature, for the- first English
"sonnets Ttere written by Sir TJiomas Wyatt
and his ifriend Henry , Howard, "Earl of'
Surry.,., Many of Wyatt's sonnets' were
addressed to Anne Boleyn. Surry was
the authiir of the first composition in blank
verse ifl the English language and Wyatt
of the first sonnet. V From their time the
Professor bfin-rs.usTcgularly down through,
all the English, speaking sonnetteers to the
present day stopping by the way to tell
us why feriiaie poets are so seldom "addicted
to love- sonnets 1 or poems of any kind."
He thinks "they realize, the .inapprpriate
ness, and; indeed indelicacy, of their writ
ing po&try of a warmly amatory kind.V
Wendell Holmes in.Tiis "Poet at the Breaks
fust Table" gives a." truer reason we think,
when in his definition of a Poet, he says,
is naked and is not ashamed." When the ,
world produces a femae poet worthy to'
stand beside Chaucer, Spenser and Shakes
peare shci will probably see no more indeli
cacy in writing in "an amatory strain"
than MrsIIemans'did in translating the
sonnet from Tasso" f The 1'rofessor gives
a great deal of interesting information and
good criticism, in a pleasant and entertain

Fallacies About Interest.
' ' Sir John Lubbock.
It was! for a long time, incbeed until the
the middle of the last century, generally
supposed: that the rate of interest would,
apart froiu legislative enactinent, be regu
lated by the scarcity or abundance of mon
ey ;i an extraordinary . fallacy, when it is
considered that the interest itself is paya
ble in money. It is now, however admit
ted," by ail those who have studied the sub
ject, that! the'rate of interest is, in the long .
run; ruleu by, the average rate ot pront ae
rivable from the employment of capital.
Of this, a striking proof is afforded by the
case of Australia, and still more by that
of California, where, although, in conse
iqueuce of their gold mines, that metal was
peculiarly abundantthe rate of interest
has been extremely high. The high rates
which prevailed so generally in ancient
times were to a great extent . due to the
uncertainty of repayment, both from the
unsettled state of politics and from the un
certainty of the laws. I trust I may put
in a word for ancient bankers, by pointing
out that the high rates which they charged
were not due to. their covetousness, but to
this insecurity of repayment. Instead,' how
ever, of endeavoring to cure the evil by
removing the cause, legislators attempted
to put down high rates of interest by ren-
denmr them lllecal. In this they were -
not only not successful, but 'produced the
very opposite effect from that which they
intended. ! Thus, in France, the legal rate,
which had been 5 per cent., was lowered
in 17G6 to 4 per cent., but the result was;
to raise, not to lower, the real rate, because;
the borrower had not only to pay interest
but to compensate the lender for the addi
tional risk. ' " '
Ethan Allen's Courage.
- .Fr6m " Causcrie," by V. A. Ilovey.
Ethan Allen, whose misfortune it was to
have a-termagant for a wife, had and de
served a reputation for courage of the leo
nine kind. Some wags thought to frighten
him once;' but they mistook their man.
One of them J arrayed in a sheet, stepped
in front of him in the Toad late One dark
night when he was on his way homeward.
Ethan stopped, looked at the spectre, and
without a moment's' hesitation, exclaimed:
"If I you come from heaven I ; don't fear
you,- If you are the devjj, come home
and spend the night with me I ; married
your sister."- His neighbors never sought
to test his courage after that.' j

gijl said when her beau kissed her."
