The "_Letters from a Sister_" will amply repay the reader; so also will the article on the "_Fine Arts_"--and the "_Persian Story_," translated from the French of Florian. The "_Scene in Paris, by a Virginian_," we have no hesitation in particularly recommending. It is an admirable and graphic description of what the writer saw with his own eyes,--and the excellent delineation of the French character, comprising its extremes of energy and weakness, will forcibly strike the reader. With us the whole narrative possesses powerful interest. It is but sheer justice to insert the letter from "_Larry Lyle_," (printed by mistake in our last "_Zarry Zyle_,") in answer to the criticisms of our Shepherdstown correspondent. Mr. Lyle defends his muse with spirit and ability. We also insert from a sense of duty, a letter from the author of a "_Note to Blackstone's Commentaries_," accompanied by the expression of our regret that he should have considered himself somewhat unkindly treated by the gentleman who furnished a reply to that article. We think we can vouch for it that the gentleman referred to, _fully intended_ to restrict himself within the bounds of fair and honorable discussion, and if we had thought differently, his article would have been excluded. We must be excused for saying a word or two in respect to the _poetical_ department. Unless the reader is very fastidious, he must, we think, be pleased. We read "_Young Rosalie Lee_" more than once, before we could fully perceive the exquisite beauty and delicacy of the mind which produced it,--and we venture the prediction, that unless the author is divorced from the society of the sacred _nine_ by paramount duties, he is destined to no ordinary celebrity. We dare say that for the expression of this opinion, we ourselves shall not be spared, for we confess there is a quaintness in the style which will be repulsive to most readers. In the "_Stray Leaves_," there is something which reminds us of Waller's beautiful lines beginning, "Go lovely rose," &c. and we almost regretted that the author should have so suddenly glided into the genuine Anacreontic. Our readers will agree with us that the remaining pieces, particularly the "_Extract from an Unfinished Poem_"--the lines "_To Hope_"--"_To the Bible_"--"_Moonlight_"--and "_Hopes and Sorrows_," have each more than ordinary claims to admiration. The "_Lines on Barlow's Monument_," by the celebrated Helen Maria Williams, and now published for the first time, need no praise from our pen; neither do the two original productions of Mrs. Sigourney, which we take great pleasure in inserting. It would be doing us much injustice to suppose that the pieces which we do not particularly notice, are for that reason lightly esteemed. Whilst there are, it is true, degrees in the pleasure with which we regard the favors of contributors, their insertion ought to forbid the idea that any are unwelcome.
