Boston as a Poetry NIE.

To -write poetry is merely considered, tn Boston, as an elegant accomplishment suitable to the litterateur, and less a special gift than the natural an-5 expected result of scholarship and culture. The charming assumption with which a society or meeting of any description designates its members to write » poem on such and such an occasion is infinitely amusing. “ vV’hy uld you not come to the literary coterie ?* questioned a »riend the other day. •‘Mrs. Dias and Mrs. Anagnos wrote poems for the evening, and we had a philosophical paper and tableaux. * This was an illustration of the Boston nonchalance regarding “writing poems.” it is discussed in a matter-of-fact way, as an affair quite of industry rather than of inspiration. If the .birthday or wedding anniversary of a prominent person is to be celebrated, a fair gotten up, an exhibition opened, or the “Old South” receive another contribution toward saving it from the destructive march of trade, the instigator, of the affair all write poems—as a nab Ural feature of the entertainment Though the so-called “poems” are numerous, the poets are few, yet these rhymers and ve tiersail enroll themselves uhder that banner, and enjoy the felicity of their belief. The genuine poets of Boston are almost as few as of any otner city. Longfellow. Lowell, Whittier, Emerson, Louise Chandler Mouiton. who has a gift of the almost perfect lyric verse; Jo|m Boyle O’Heilly, Dr. Holmes, and Mrs. Howe, in her “Battle Hymn of the liepublic” and her “Sealed Orders,” make Cp all that I now recall -who seem to have any claim to poetic immortality. Yet the people who grind out their poems to, on, and for every occasion, are as numerous as the prose writers. Volume after volume is published here of mere prosaic ; o-e that rhymes, and is labeled—l came near saying libeled —poetry. What becomes of it is a mystery I cannot fathom. Where do all the dull books go to, any way? one won levs. T ■ .. .über of volumes of “poems” that cun uin, perhaps, one that really merits the name and retains the whole, is a signal advance ever those that have nothing in them but mechanical rhyme. It is singular that in a city which may, perhaps, not unaptly be designated as the literary oap ital of the country, there is so marked a lack ol fine literary discrimination. Form -more than spirit, quantity more than quality, appears to take precedence. To “publish a volume of poems’* is as much the part of the natural expectation as tC rod the current literature and attend ti.e symphony concerts. Whether the poems are worth publishing is a consideration that doe« not seem to present ito-wf.— Boston Cor. Leader.

A Boston Girl in Chleago.

I feel that I am very far from Boatoa. [ realize that lam many miles nearer the line that separates civilization from the land of savages. And into thcw Western solitudes I have brought a volume of Herbert Spencer to refresh and sheer my mind. He always fascinates; and the fact of his being still unmarried has something to do with it, for you know there is a halo surrounding ths celibate which marriage utterly destroys. As in most philosophical questions, it is useless to ask why this is so. We can only observe the working of the phenomena, but not its cause. But truly, of Spencer I never tire. His ideas of the higher life are so consoling—the development from an “indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity.” What could be truer or more conclusive ? Perhaps the illiterate mind might be staggered by the unusual combination of polysyllables, but we who are cultivated can appreciate the subtle significance of a definite, coherent heterogeneity. His ideas ot love, however, are not extravagantly tinged with romances Suppose that a man with tender eyes and raven-hued mustache, having seated himself by your dioe, should tenderly take your hand in ms, and then assure in fervent tones that he is conscious ot a molecular change i u the vesicular nerve matter of his system whose cor oomitant is love, and that yor< arc the external object which has caused the change. Would an ice bath be more chilling? An hysterical woman would certainly lift up her voice and shriek hloud. No wonder that Herbert Spencer Les lived to the age of sixty wither# nsarrying.

A Group of Qucens.

The queens in Southern Europe • remarkably interesting group of women. The Queen of non mania, or Oarmen Sylva, is not only a poetess* anh full of picturesque romance, but she lately underwent examination for a diploma that might give her a right to do certain teaching in the schools* Everybody knows of the skillful manner in which Christina, the Queen of Spain, performs her unwonted duties. And now Margaret of Savoy, ths Sueen of Italy, is to appear as an an,or, with her stories founded on ths legends of the middle ages. Among the various languages spoken fluently by this queen is English, in Which she toads every new book of importance, iweping herself posted on I nglish polices and gossip. In religious matters the is neither too liberal uor too deVote, and she is a passionate patriot. In p*son she is lovely, fair, and bright, more graceful than majestic, with a feminine sweetness very attractive in a royal personage. Her family relations are perfect; she is tho intimate friend of her young son, the Prince of Naples; and, often seen on the streets an-1 among tho shops, she is idolised by iPe Jio ’ran n*»nplo.
