LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Coincidence—Or What?

Sirn,—In a recent number of Literature there appeared a reprint of a paper, written some years ago by Prof. Porter, entitled, ** Kalevala and Hiawatha,” in which Long- fel.ow’s indebtedness to the national epic of Finland—lately welded from detached lays into one organic whole under the title of ** Kalevala”—for the metre, mode of treatment, and, in some measure, matter of ‘ Hiawatha” was clearly shown, and his failure to ‘*render honor where honor was due” severely, but most justly censured, ‘* Be sure your sin will find you out,” was the moral which suggested itself, as I read this article. And strangely encugh, as if to ‘*make assurance doubly sure,” almost the first thing that caught my attention, as I finished Prof. Porter's article and glanced over the remainder of that day’s postal matter, was, to all appearance, a confirma- tion of the trath of the moral. lt was a poem in the Weskiy Examiner of the 7th inst., written by Rev. W. K. Burr, Ph. D. As I ran my eye through it,it seemed to my critical faculties, sharpened somewhat, per- haps, by what I had just been reading, to bear a striking resemblance to something I had read before. On consulting my scrap- book I found that Mr. Burr’s poem, in its general tone, subject, various phases under which the subject is presented, and the very language employed, is virtually identi- cal with one written some years ago by Father Ryan.

Father Ryan’s poem is headed ‘‘ Rest,” Mr. Burr’s, ** | Long For Rest,” and both poems are, as their titles indicate, a cry tor **rest, sweet rest.” There is the same lament, and in the same order, frequently in the same words, over weary feet, tired hands, toiling im vain, tilling barren soil, sowing but never reaping. Each, there- fore, cries, the one ‘‘a weak and human cry,” the other, ‘‘a feeble, childish cry ;” each sighs, the one ‘ta weak and human

cases the feeling has always been present from the time when each, stiil a child, laid his weary head on mvther’s breast. But for both this restless longing will soon be o'er; for, as Father Ryan expresses it, ‘* down the West, Life’s sun is setting,” or,

noon, soon I wil long no more,”—uncer- tain, because the reader is left in doubt as to whether the first clause is intended as another version of Father Ryan’s metaphor and will wrongly used for shall in the sec- ond, or whether Mr. Burr, having attained the fullest maturity of physical, mental and spiritual powers, and, consequently, become fitted for the grzatest usefulness, is medi- ‘tating suicide !

Apparently, however, if suicide was in his mind, he theught better of it, for, al- though Father Ryan’s poem ends here, Mr. Burr gives us an additional verse (common- place enough) almost his own, in which he assures us that he will still *‘ labor, watch and wait,” with ** eyes turned toward the west”’—the last two words alone being ‘* Father Ryan’s.” If to this verse we add Mr. Burr’s opening one, which is all his

(own, and deduct the same from the total

‘number of lines (tifty-six) in his poem, we shail discover the substantial difference be- tween it and Father Kyan’s deservedly popular production. In the latter there are only thirty-two lines; Mr. Burr re- quires forty-eight to convey the same ideas. Compactness is the characteristic of the one poem ; diffuseness that of the other.

Of course it is possible, though highly

improbable, that the virtual identity pointed |

out may be merely a cv acidence. _Differ- ent persons have laid claim to the merit of | great discoveries, and claim allowed.” The same thing is true of some of the greatest thoughts in literature. i This *‘ longing for rest” has, no doubt, been felt by most of us. But that it should ‘be treated In the same way bytwo writers, each unacquainted with the other’s work, is 'so unlikely that Mr. Burr must permit us lto entertain a ‘* reasonable doubt ” as to ‘the originality of his poem, until he gives us his assurance on the point, or shifts the blawwe to Father Ryan’s shoulders, by prov- ing priority of writing.

The Old Reliable Line.

Srr,—-As the season soon closes, I con- sider it not out of place to make a few re- marks on the line of steamers which has existed between the colonies and the United States for so many years— the Boston, Hal:- fax and P. E. Island 8. 8. Line. The line began over twenty years ago on a very small scale. The tirst steamers were the Franconia, Greyhound, Somerset, Cuom- /merce and Alhambra. Some of these were | wrecked on the Nova Scotia coast, but no | lives were lost. The last named vessel was | wrecked off Cape Sable. The captain was |soon forced to give up his position as a ‘captain of this line. Messrs. T. W. Nick- erson & Co. had the management of the | line in Boston at this time, and assisted by ithe different agents on the route set to work to give the line a good reputation. A larger and better ship was purchased and placed on the route. This was the Carroll, and was commanded by Captain 8. E. Wright, formerly master of the Alhambra, but rot when that vessel was wrecked. He ‘took Mr. Geo. H. Brown as First Officer ‘and Mr. W. T. Nickerson as Purser. Po e

‘commanded by Capt. Doane, late of the ‘Commerce, and Mr. F. GH. Sawyer was Purser. After the wreck of this vessel, ‘the management, determined to make a bold stand, placed another and more sub- stantial looking ship on the route. This was the Worcester, and was commanded by Cart. D. Hedge, a capable and efficient officer, Mr. J. W. Blankenship was First Ofticer and Mr. Sawyer wos Persr. The

—

Carro]l and Worcester then ran together and made both time and money. It was generally remarked at the correct time these steamers would leave Halifax for Boston. At one time of the season they averaged three hundred passengers a week. Captains Wright and Hedge made a large number of friends in the different ports; but the best of friends must part. They were promoted to larger ships on the Bos- ton and Savannah 8.8. Line. They were succeeded by Mr. Brown, who took the Carrell, and Mr. Hallett, whu took the Worcester, taking Mr. Ivestre as First Officer, who was Querter-master with Capt. Hedge, and Capt. Brown taking Mr. Chas. Wright, brother of Capt. Wright, with him. Captain Brown is stil) on the Carroll, and is making for himself many friends in every port he visits.

The Carroll being the oldest boat on the line | will make a few remarks about her. Both she and the Worcester have good models for comfort and safety, live oak and locust in their framing, and have been en- abled to make winter passages not only with safety, but with comfort to their pas- sengers. The Carroll has two saloons, one on deck aft of the smoke stack, and an- other immediately under it. The former is the dining hall. On each side of these are staterooms unsurpassed for comfort, neatness and ventilation, Down stairs are rooms nicely kept. On deck is a larger room than any of the others, called the bridal chamber. Over the glass is a scroll: ‘** May you never see a sad face in here.” Captain Brown and Mr. Nickerson have done and are still doing all in their power to please the passengers. The Captain has made himse]f one of the most popular, in fact the most popular captain sailing be- tween the United States and Canada, and what shall I say about the genial and ever popular Purser, W. P. Nickerson? No- thing can be said good enough about him, and no one has made so many friends as he has since he came on the route. Mr. Thornton, Chief Engineer, deserves special notice for his gentlemanly and courteous manner to all he meets.

cry,” the other “‘an anxious, plaintive/y, Walsh, chief steward also deserves sigh,” ‘* for rest, for rest.” And in both| notice. Be has made himself most popu-

lar. The stewardess is highly experienced and has an able assistant. They have no equal for kindness to passengers, and are always on hand to attend to the wants of ladies travelling without escort. The Worcester has improved very much of late,

** have had their!

making a great increase in speed, and has made a name for herself. After Captain

| Hedge left her she was commanded by

,Capt. H. K. Hallet, who cid not remain ‘long im charge. He wes succeeded by |Capt. J. W. Blankenship, who made many friends, but was forced to leave after a ‘short time on account of ill health, and soon the sad news came of his death. He was succeeded by Capt. G. D. Allen, who remained in charge about three years, He ' was succeeded by Capt. Ziba Nickerson, jr., late first officer of the steamer Merrimack. Captain N. has made many friends, and it ‘is to be hoped he will remain on the route for many years. He and Mr. Sawyer, the _ever-gentlemasly and popular purser, have retained for the Worcester,the good name she held during the command of Captain Hedge. Mr. Sawyer must be noticed for his kindness and courtest to the passengevs, and also to the agents of the line. We hope that Capts. Brown and Nickerson may ere long command larger steamers on this line. Under them the Carrol] and Worcester are making splendid time. Messrs. Nickerson and Sawyer have alone ‘made the line as popular as it is to ladies jand gentlemen, and we trust in the near ‘future to see them in larger ships. The \stewardess deserves special notice, and is making many friends. The other officers have been carefully selected. It is especi-

yally the officers, not the steamers, that

have mace the line so popular; and it is the way they keep the boats that they are so well patronized. The passenger trade has been very brisk this season, and the pas- sener clerks along the route have had ther hands full. Let us wish success to the old reliable line, and hope the future will be even raore »risk than the past. Hairax.
