The Now Orleans Picayune of the 16th contains the .folldwing' merited compliment to Mr. Davidson's new book: "The Living Writors6f the Soth," by James \Vood Davidson, A. M. New York : G. W. Carlton. Prof. Davidson finds 241 living writers in the South-100 male and 75 female-, deserving of mention, Of these, 201 have published books, and the aggr., gate number of volumes referred to is 739. Claszified Into departments we have 74 writers of fiction, 117.<of verse, 8 in poetry, 68 in history, (in., eluding travels, memoirs, biography,) 20 In theology, 15 In scleice, 0 in philology, 5 in philosophy, and 2 in law. This is very creditable showing on the part of the Bouth, especially when we remember how few of our writers pursue literature as a profes, sion. Few at the North write simply through love of letters, as do many of our gifted men and women. If the North has a larger number of more flibhed litlerateure . and professed authors, or writers of books, than ob tain among us, the fact that literature is there a profession accounts for it more than do their excess of populaq tion over that of the South. Litera turo is as jealous a mistress as the law, reserving her honors for those of her votaries who in her service "scorn de, lights and live laborious days." "We cannot conceive how Mr. Da.. vidson's volume could be improved upon. It is condensation itself, even in the larger sketches ; gives a vast amount of biographical and biblio. graphical information, and is marked by candor and critical. acumen In i s literary judgment. We have read nearly all the chapters devoted to our leading writers, and have been much impressed with Mr. Davidson's liters. ry research and the unreserved can! dor of his criticisms, lHe rejects, foi mnstance, after due exanminatio.n, La. mar Fontaine's claim to the author. ship oSf "All quiet Along tihe Potomaeo Toe-Night,'' and thoogh fully recogni. simg Gilmocre Sirmmns' many high mer Its a.s a prose writer, pronounces his poems prosaic, commwon place and Tap. peresque.

Here is the wail of Jim's "lost love :" I met her by the seller dore-. The look she gave was cold and sturn; Her eyes-looked pitohforks into mine, And mine looked poison into hero.
