Living writers of the jouth.
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."

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.
For we had loved in days gene by ;
Hecr daddy said that I might take
her; fo
But, alas!Ifo my dreamue of wedded
bliss,
She got up and got with a Igatch
shoemaker.
No more girls for o ifrI kn~wa
No more frseuds my love to win;

And he, might have added, "ot
