LIVING AUTHORS [From the New York Literary Guzette.]

Familiar names in Literature are still fresh upon the record of the living. Hoary-headed authors and poets, histo- rians, romancers, and metephysiciens-— men and women whose, names were years ego placed upon the books of publishers in England end America, end whose good deeds speak volumes (literally), while they

ct livc—are among the foremost in the race for literary fame, end vie in undimi- nished vigor with the new school of writers which in both countries has sprung up ra- pidly uround them. In considering What becomes of all the thoughts that flow from pen to paper, and pass from types and ink into the minds of tens of thousands of attentive renders, the idea is suggested of IIqllll'll]g,_.Wlt0, of all the popular ivriters of the century, still ,surviv,e.’ In other words, How many modern authors are living, to witness the call _that their genius has created for ivovrksfofju ,ccrtnin stamp? lt'is ,a_s_urpi-ising fuct"td know, thnt~so nie- ny_ eminent writers," while the. gray is sprinkled in among their looks, yet preserve their original. vitality a'nd__native-for-co, and that their latest -woi-lrb ;ere likely to rank among their be_st;’it argues that a healthy -tnmnphere ‘ha’: surrountlcd. . diets. that people ,e,o_.,.botli sides of the water have

I0 appreciated liter-ery merit, and that the life

of an author -is no longer of necessity that of e Grub street hnclt. Literature in our day is more sought after by all classes, is brought nearer to_ every man's door, and exercises a more genial inﬂuence upon the popular heart. then has been known in its ennels for many generations. In fact, the rapid and exceedingly cheep issues of even standard books have become an institution in theinselves—-effecting a wonderful revo- lution in the sentiments entertained towards authors as a class, and affording to young aspirants for literary fame that encourage- ment wlthout which their efforts are but limited, and tin which many scores of them in years past have struggled and striven, until strife and struggle ended in despair. There is a promising future for literature this country. 'l‘he growth of the new States and Territories, the accession of numbers from abroad, the development of native talent, and the o portunitics for in- tellectual culture wliic now abound in every settled town and village in the country, offer extraordinary inducements for the exercise of that faculty of instruct- ing and amusing the public, that is possess- ed in enchlnrge measure by a vigorous class of native authors. But, while it is true, that American talent ﬁnds appreciative admirers, and while American books are read, even on the other side of the water, it is equally true, that all new countries require on infusion of that old lenvcn of intelligence, ivhicli we find embodied in the books known us the standards. once, liotli olrl and now works will iintiirnlly keep within sight of each other. There are old xiiithors, without whom we can no more be well-furnished in the intellect, than can a lmoksliop be witliotit slielvcs, or newspapers without presses and types. Every yeni-'3 fresh catalogue, accordingly, shows that the standard volumes have been renewed, and new volumes of what is termed the "current literature," stand side by side with them. But it was not of this point particularly that we wished to speak.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston Post writes, that it was freely stated and believed by not a few, that “ the sound, live boy," pslmcd off upon the empire," is nothing more than I usurper, end tbd he takes the place of a fine healthy female child who is the real heir.” “ I-‘or sortie time previously to theEmpress’s accoucbo inent, a line boy was ready, in case the c_xpccted baby should prove to be e girl,——_and this accounts for the fact, that the King of Algiers presented to France was actually as large as his nurse's baby of two months old.”

Ecoivour in Ci-r-ri.n-ri-:i-:niae.——'I‘he time will come, when feeding cattle with n pitchfork will be considered slovcnly arming, even though the hay may be put in rocks or feed-boxes ; just as slovcnly as it is now thought to be to carry it out in arrnfuls and throw it down upon the ground, perhaps that, too, half-leg deep in mud. The time will come, though slowly, when no one but a slovcnly fer- me_r will thiiik of feeding hay or straw’

-until it has passed througha cutting‘

engine;_and*thc time will-come, when all good farmers will grind‘ their hay into meal, just as good farmers do now their corn, because they will discover that hey. meal is much more valuable than coarse.‘ hey as corn meal is more valuable thenv the whole grain. When both are round and duly mixed, then, and not til then, shall we learn the true economy of cattle- feeding.

POVERTY is the nurse of manly energy and heaven-climbing thoughts, attended by love and faith and hope, around whose steps the mountain breezes blow and from whose_ countenance all the virtues gather strength. Look around you on the distinguished men in every department of life who guide and con- troul the times, and inquire what was their organ and what was their early fortunes. Were they, ass

Sinonuiit Arniit.--A very curious instance of confusion has taken. place in a family in Lumber street, on Arbor Hill. A mother and her daughter were both conﬁned on the some day, each having a little son. In the bustle of the moment both babies were placed in the cradle, and to the confusion of tlie moiliers, when the youngsters were taken from the cre- dlc, they were unable to tell which was the mother's and which was the dough- ter's son—-u matter wliicli,of course, must cver remain a mystery. The family is its great distress over the affair.—Albuny Knickerbocker.
