Sl'LZARI or the Rate-Bower, a Tale" of Persia. By John 8. Iteid. Publihetf by Turner, Corij a no" Chapmant, Indianapolis. The above is the title of a poem of seven cantos, written by a gentleman of t'nion County Indiana, and sent out into this money Retting- and prosaie world to Bnd, if it can, admirers enough to vote its author a poet. A copy of it was presented to us by the author, during our late visit to Indianapolis. The principal poem, with the prose narrative by which its several cantos are linked together, occupies one hundred and seventy-five pages, which are swelled to two hundred by certain Gazels, of love songs, of the Persian poet Hafii, translated, as Mr. Rrid informs us, into English prose "by eminent Persian Scholars," and by him made to assume the more w inning garb of verse. The fact that so formidable an enterprizeas a full grown poem has been achieved by a Hoosier, and by one too who lives so near us, as to do us some honor, if he be a poet indeed,
attracts our attention, and we propose to notice the volume somewhat more fully than we should do under different circumstances. The mechanical part of the book, then, is unexceptionable. It is printed in a clear bold type, upon beautiful paper of Brook ville manufacture, and bound in tasteful style; so that, be it good, bad or indifferent, the whole volume must be ranked among the nsraerous responsibilities of our good State of Indiana. Mr. Reid has evidently worked upon the model fur
nished by Moore in his Lalla Rookh. We suppose, of
course, that the Gulzar has no such enraptured admirers as will be offended w ith our opinion, that it must sustain a very disadvantageous comparison with thai

Worse however than all this, there are numerous passages in the volume, that cannot be considered either prose or poetry. Some downright folks would call them nonsense, but, as we do not use such language, our readers will decide. What then are we to understand by "vernal Sprint;" "crimson stream or l.quid blood." We are invited in one passage to "Go ask the sky who weaved its shroud," but as we have never heard before that the sky needed such a garment, we consider the question impertinent.

Numbers of the wise and pious come from afar, but their prayers and nostrums are alike inefficacious. At a tima when all hope of her restoration is gone, an old g-entlsman, w ith a long white beard, prays to be permitted to try his luck. He administers charmed draughts, watches the stars, and makes long prayers, until the seventh night, when, as he is praying in the lady's chamber at mid. night, a zepyr is sent to the rescue, w ho restores the
lady to her former health and beauty, and she gives the
white bearded doctor the first intimation of her recovery by joining in his devotions. A succession of feasts and shows follows this happy event, at which minstrels vie with each other in reciting poetry. To the astonishment of all. the white bearded gentleman is not more skilful in physic than he is in poetry, and eclipses the laureates of the Persian court. During these rejoicings the lover of the Princess keeps himself mysteriously out of sight; and though she is consoled by the music of her restorer, the absence of her lover gives ber pain. To terminate the display, the King gets up a kind of tournament, at which two Persian nobles,

entered his solemn protest against the payment of that
amaunt. We are astonished that Amos Martin, who is i making claim to the hand of the Princess, appear to be
so good, so reputable and so honest a citizen, should
have allowed himself to sanction so outrageous a bill; and we are at a loss to know how he w ill satisfy those whom he serves, for thus squandering the public fund? Still R'arte! The Commissioners af Fayette County paid the same amount (375 00) for publ ishing the delinquent list of Favette County. We published the Delinquent list of Vnion Co., and eharged 81,00 and
there were about three times the delinquent lands in
Vnion that there were in Fayette. Five dollars would have been a large fee for publishing the Fayette list, yet the Commissioners of that'County, with a prodigality k extravagance unjustifiable, paid $75 CO . We have a large number of subscribers in that county, and we trut we have a right to speak of this matter, when their public servants are thrusting their bands too dimply into their poekets. The people have to pay these extravagant bills, and they should hold their public servants responsible. In Fayette County, we presume the Commissioners are
whips, and these large fees arc given to sustain a par
ty press. In this County they are loco, and the public funds are taken for the same unhallowed purpose.
the successful champions, until an unknown knight
enters Ihe lists, and unhorses them both; after which, like the Soir Faineant of Iranhoe, he disappears. On the night succeeding this eventful day, before his whole
court, the King rails upon the musical old doctor to say what shall be his n ward. He claims the hand of the Princess. The father frowns the daughter weeps other lovers standing by begin to handke their dag
gers, white the learned of the courtiers attempt to pose the old fellow with an examination something resembling that of Ti'letnachus before the Cretan judges. 1 he questions being simple enough are readily answered, and, to cud the suspense of the reader, the hero plucks off the white bi aril, throw s aside the doctor's gown, and it appears to all that the absent lover has, in disguise, successfully acted the part of the skilful medico, the sublime poet, and the victorious champion. Thi is the prjse story. Like the nciiations in I.alta Rookh, the poetry is
furnished l.y the disguised lover in his nightly songs, which embrace several stories, somewhat connected with each other, and all somewhat obscure; but not, as
to plot and incident, having even the doubtful merit of
racy of some passages of the Gulzar. Poetical license
does not extend to a breach of the plain rules of grammar; and we pronounce Mr. Reid guilty of this offence. Witness th following passages: "and oon teas seen A thousand camels,' Canto 2nd Page St. 'The deeds of blood that't met his eye" Court 3rd Page 83. "For thee orfjr my earliest prayer." Oonfo 4th, Page SI. "When Monarch leave their royal thrones, "The cares of state forget awhile, "And Love's all-conquering presence otvnt, 'And iatkt in beauty's radiant smile.' Canto 4th Page 94. "Harfa and Ekmut Zeha dirt, "And Tamasp, HojfVr bleeding liet.'' Canto 6th Page 134. Such are some ofour objections to the Gulzar. We have expressed them freely, as is our custom. If thry are unfounded, it will a (Turd as pleasure to see them satisfactorily answered. We have said that there is some respectable versification in the volume, of which
the follow ing passages are perhaps the best examples: 'All, all is life; in each you see 'The impress of Divinity: 'We read it in the lo liest flower 'That blooms in Summer's sunny hour: "We read it in the grass that springs 'In nature's thousand blossomings.

members with a copy af the 'Journals" of last session If the Doorkeeper had been instructed to carefully
hide away the Journals of past years, what a saving of time and money it would have resulted in to the State! It may not be generally known that there is in most State Legislative bodies, a class of members who imagine it is actually necessary to their reputation that their
names should appear on almost every page of the Jour, nals of the House or Senate; and that the number of resolutions they offer is an exact index to their character and usefulness as members of either branch! The people, too. unfortunately, in many instances, coincide in this opinion, and give impulse to the garrulity of their represesitatives, and to this disposition to figure as the fathers, or rather ttrp-Jafhert of resolutions and propo

Of course, the Journals oTpatt years, on their tables, contain hundreds of dead and buried resolutions of inquiry, &c which furnish them with a never-failing supply of propositions to which to attach their names, and offer again for the rejection or neglect of the House and it' Committees!

Now, if public opinion could be so improved on this subject, as to make it the interest of members to say or do nothing when they have nothing to door say worthy of consuming the time and lumbering the Journals of legislation, this growing evil would be abated. It is a great mistake to suppose these legislative busy-bodie arc either influential or useful.

The Governor Tobacco We are truly rejoiced to Ii am (jre letter flora eorretpondent) that Gov. "iVhitcomb hat abandoned entirely the use of tobacco. Probably we are a tittle crazy upon the subject of tobacco.
we think we are perfectly sane. But when the "vilest sinner" abandon t such practices as KTs Excellency has done, are must he permitted to rejoice. We reeorniae
the use if tobacco as one of the vilest and 61thiest practices which has ever debated tha human appetite, taste or passions, not even, exceptinr; the use of baldfaced wawftry. We care not whose feeling we wound
in these matters, we have our aversion, ana rejoice that we have the privilege of eapressing; it. We elast the tobacco chrwer and smoker with the sfrn-rsf, the gambler, and the glu tton. At latest dates the Ohio was jVirfed with ice near Whorlun. On Wednesday the river was clear
from Cincinnati to tha Mississippi.
Down Aaron's beard did r;t 'Mown Aaron's beard it downward went, "His trarment skirts unto." Near the close of the second canto, Mr. Reid asks the stars "From whence does come their glorious liffht:" The stars do not condescend to answer, and if they did, it should be to ask Mr. Reid what business the word "rfori" has in his qurstion? A true poet w as never driven to such a shift as this to make out a line. Another instance of similar fecblrncs occurs thus 'I'd rather sleep on tented field, "Than on the finest, softest down-" 4th Vanto Page 88. In the same Canto, at page 90, he speaks of a lady whose "eyes are lighted up" "With fire of sacred poesy "Yet timid as the anleione "Beneath the green mttnossa tree"
We are not informed, w hat this mi matin tree is, or how to account for the strange fact in natural history
that the antelope when under this tree is more timid than when elsewhere; we would be willing to remain ignorant on theae points, if we could learn how any man ever dreamed of making 7rjt" rhyme w ith a word "to far fetched and fanciful.'

Perhaps these selections, to which many others conld easily be added, willjustity in some degree our opin. ion of the versification. We object as strongly to the taste displayed in the Gulrar. We venture the opinion, that there is not another poem ol the same length in which there is so much astronomical speculation.
