The charge that Pruidsnt Lincoln indulg.
ad in unseemly lcvlty on tho battle-field of
Antietam-scu'iling for ribsld stings and vul-
gar jokes, in: the presence of the wounded,
the dying. and the unburied dead—has been
from time to tlme rcp’gtedmnd industriously
circulated by the cue es of the Union pare
ty, throughbptthe coun ry. Mr. Horton,lats
editor of the New York Day Book, has om-
bodied the story in his “Youth's History of
the Civil Wit,” (written irom the Southern
standpoint, to ofisctu similar work from the
i‘ Northern pbiut of vicw.publlshcd in Bosé
ton); and The Boston Moi so recent s dsto‘

“would have preferred that Gcsry or some
one else had sung the song which the latclaé

that field of battle." -

LINCOLN AND “003.
After one of the President's proclamations
calling for more men had been apportioned
among the difi'ercnt, States, Gov. Seymour
went to Washington to urge upon Hr. Lin-
coln the reduction of the quota of New York.
Early in the day, after his arrival, he sent in
his card; but the President surmrsed his or-
rsud, and the day wore away while he gsvc
audience to other callers. At 3 o'clock he
ordered the cues door to be thrown open
and the waiting throng admitted. As they
came in, completely filling the room, Hr.
Lincoln said. “I will first see Gov. Seymour,
of New York." Gov. Seymour went for-
ward and took a seat near the Presidcutmud
in a low tone stated his errand. Hr. Lincoln
sat in shades till he had concluded; than,
raising his voice so asio be heard by all pru-
cut, he replied: “When the other Governors
of States come here, they come to ask what
they can do to help hold up my hands; but
you come and ask me to release you from
doing what others do cheerfully and with
alscsity." Thou. taking up a card before
him, he turned and said, “I will soc Hr. —
next," thus terminating the interview.

HLIPU‘I.‘ LITERATURE.
It is the privilege of us elders to grumble,
in some cases perhaps without much cause.
at the superior advantages enjoyed by grow-
ing youth, and to contrast them with the hard
times we had in our own boyhood. ~But as
regards the nursery epocb,—tbe period that
preced- school-lifo, and into which uo‘shsd-
ow of coming “competitive examinations”
can cast themselves—there is not a doubt
that our young folks are now catered for in a
manner that was never dreamed of in our
day, nor, indeed, in any day below the pres-
ent. Instead of dull, sturched “Moral Tales,”
with nothing but their morality to recom-
mend them, which was of old the staple litc-'
rstmu of Liliput, the Juveniles have now a
library of their own, almost as varied as that
oi their seniors; while instead of having a
few hack scribblcrs, and one or two respec-
table old ladies, of the Trimmer type, to pro-
vide their mental psbulum, they now employ
(0 ply we like his Llliput stories so much our-
selves that we contend that they are for us,
just as when that cream-chocolate arrives
from Paris, from dear Aunt Charlotte, we
maintain it is for the drawing-room, and not
the nursery); Thsbkcrsy wrote “Dr. Birch
and his Young Friends.” to maks them grin;
'Buskiu gave them “The King Of the Golden
,Rlvci"; nay, thslsnd having been sufficient-
Jy ransacked for their pleasure, Kingsley
:gsvs than “The Water Babies." The very
best artists of modern times have worked for
them; one of the latest works of the most
humorous of them all, poor Bennett, was
dedicated solely to them—“The Stories that
Little Breeches Told.“ For droll drawing,
' perhaps there is no book in the world that
excels that; but, besides the drollcry, such
art, and sense, and grace !'
And of still later years—indeed, quite re-
cently—there have appeared two other chil-
dren’s books, which are, in their way, equal-
ly unrivalled. As they lie before me. and I
{contrast them, in my mind, with the foolish ‘
little books which wcrs‘all that were provi-
ded for me in my childhood, in the way of
fun, I positively feel jealous of my own chil-
dren. Why was there no Lewis Carroll, in
my time, to write “Alice's Adventures fi
Wonderland,” and (even more especially) so
. John Tsuuicl to illustrate them!
I do not intend to make any ungrscious
comparison has between author and artist,
but it is marvellous s to think that the same
pencil which has furnished so many years

their grandeur otcoi iception, have an almost

nothing to laugh at in “Alice in Wonder-
tho pens oi half our men oi genius. Dik- -
" one has written for them more than once
you look on them—should illustrate a child's
book with such marvellous humor. Mr.
Carroll, in whom there is so much to praise,
is unequal, whereas his illustrator is uniform-
ly excellent. In his portraiture of the bean-
ty of Alice, tbs helplessness of the Mad Hat-
ter, or the bad temper of the Queen of Hearts
one knows not which to admire most. Nev-
cr,surcly, was author’s fantastic humor more
faithfully interpreted by dranghtsman. It
may be supposed, perhaps, that the fun is too
grotesque and wild to be appreciated by lit-
tle folks in the nursery, but this. I know by
practical experience, is not the case. Chil-
dren have far brighter wits than they are
given credit for, ,let them only be supplied
with the proper sort of metal to reficctlhem
in; one ought not to be disappointed with
them (but rather the contrary) it they are not
interested in “Ssudford and Merton." 0n
the other hand, I can easily believe that there
are many grown-up people who will see
land” at all. Even TennielandCarrollcom-
bincd cannot supply dull folks with the sense
of honor.
Chapter seven (it does not matter where
one begins in this book) is entitled, and very
justly, “A Mad Tea-party."
“There was a table set out under a tree in
front of the house, and the March Hare and
the Hatter were having tea at it; a Dor-
mouso was sitting between them, fast asleep,
and the other two were using has a cushion
resting their elbows on it, and talking over
its head. ‘
“Very uncomfortable for the Dormousc,“
thought Alice; “only, us it ’s asleep, I sup.
pose it doesn't mind.” The table was ulsrgs
one, but the three were all crowded together
at one corner of it: “No room! no room 2
they cried out when they saw Alice coming.
.“Tberc‘spieniy oi room! said Alice, indig-
nsntly, and she sat dowu in a large arm-
chair st the end of the table.
“Have some wine t" the March Hare said,
in an encouraging tone.
“Alice looked all round the table, but there
was nothing on it but. tea. “I don’t see any
wine,” she remarked,
“There isn't any,” said the March Hare.
“Thou it wss u’t very civil of you to offer
it,” said Alto, angrily. .
“It was n't very civil of you to sit down
without beinu invited,” said the March Hare.
“I did n't know it was your table,” said
Alice; “it's laid for a great many more than
three."
“Your hair wants cutting," said the Hat-
ter. He had been looking at Alice for some
time with great curiosity, and this was his
first speech.
“You should learn not to make personal
remarks,” Alice said with some severity:
“it's very rude."
The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on
hearing this; but all be said was, “Why is a
raven like u writing-desk f"
. “Come, we shall. have some _fun new i”
thought Alice. “I 'm glad they ’ve began
asking riddles, I believe I can guess that,"
she added aloud. '
“Do you mean that you think you can find
out the answer to it i” said the March Harc-
“Exsctly so," said Alice.
“Then you should say what you mean,”
the March Hare went on.
“I do ,” Alice hastily replied; “at least,—
st least I mean what I ssy,--thst's the same
thing. you know.”
“Not the same thing I bit 1" said the Hat-
ter. “Why, you might just as well say that
“I see what I eat" is the same thing as “I eat
what I see i"
“You might just as well say,” added the
March Hare, that “I like what I get” is the .
same thing as “I get what I like 1"
“You might just as well say," added the
Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his
sleep, that “I breathe when I sleep” is the
same thing as “I sleep when I breathe i"
“It is the same this g with you," said the
Hatter; and here the conversation dropped,
and the party sat silent for a minute, while
Alice thought over all she could remember
about ravens and writingdeaks, which was
n't much.
The Hatter was the first to break the st-
lence. “What day of the mouth is it!” he
said, turning to Altos ; he had taken his watch
out of his pocket, and was looking at it un-
easily, shakiug it every now and than, and
holding it to his ear.
Alice considered a little, and said: “The
fourth."
“.Two days wrong !" sighed the Hatter.
“I told you butter wouldn’t suit the works!”
he added, looking angrily at the March Hare.
“It was the but butter," the March Hare
meckly replied.
“Yes. but some crumbs must have got in
as well," the Hatter grumbled: “you should
u't have put it in with the bread-knife.”
The. March Hare took'thc watch, and look-
ed at it gloomily : than he dipped it into his
cup of tea, and looked at it again; but he
could think of nothing better to say than his
first remark : “It was the but. butter you
know."
Ir. Trollopc’s novels, that Alice (always de-
lightfully at her case) becomes acquainted
with in the course of her adventures, are a
Chinese Cat (grinning); a Dodo, who makes
her a prcssnt of her own thimbls at a public
meeting of fc'uthcrcd fowl, and in suitable
terms ; a House. who will tell dull stories
about the Heptsrchy, and Stigand, the put;
riotic Archbishop of Canterbury; a Gryp-
hon, not to be described in words, but who
makes a sweet picture; and a flock Turtle.
- “This here young lady,” said the Gryphon
“she wants‘for to know your history, she
do.”
“I'll tell it her," said the Hook Turtle in a
deep, hollow tone. “Sit down both of you
and don’t speak a word till I 've finished."
“80 they sat down, and nobody spoke'for
some minutes. Alice thought to herself: "I
don't see how he can ever finish it he does
'u't begin." But she waited patiently.
“Once," said the Hook Turtle at last, with
a deep sign, “I was a real Turtle."
‘Tbcsc words were followed by a very long
silence, broken only by an occasional excis-
matiou of “Hjckrrh!” from the Gryphon, and
the constant heavy sobbing of the libel: Tur-
tle. Alice was very nearly getting up and
saying: “Thank you, sir, for your interest-
ing story"; but she cOuld not help thinking
there must be more to come, so she sat still
and said nothing.
“When we were little,” the Hook Turtle
went on at last, more calmly, though still
sobbing a little now and then, “we went to
school in 'hs sea. The master was an old
Turtle—we used to call him Tortoise—3’
“Why did you call hlm Tortoise, if he was
u't on. !" Alice asked. ‘
“We called him Tortoise because he taught
us," said the Mock Turtle, angrily: “really
you are very dull t”
asking such a simple question,” added the
Grypbon; and then they both sat silent, and
looked at poor Alice, who. felt ready to sink
into the earth. At last, the Grypbou said to
the block Turtle: “Drive on, old fellow!
Don't be all day about it i" andbe went on
in thescwords :— .
“Yes, we went to school in the sea, though
you may n’t believe it—”
Among other persons, not to be found in -
“You ought to be ashamed of yourself for
“Hold your tongue i" added the Gryphon,
before Alice could speak again. The Mock
Turtle went on.
“We had the best of cducations,—in fact,
we went to'achool every day—"
“I 've been to a day-school too,” said Alice;
“you need n‘t be so proud as all that.”
“With extras '2" asked the Mock Turtle, a
little anxiously.
“Yes,” said Alice; “we learned French
and music.”
“And washing?” said the Mock Turtle.
“Certainly not i” said Alice, indignantly.
“Ah! theft yours was n't a really good
school," said the Mock Turtle in a tone of
relief. “Now, at mm they had at the end of
the bill, “French, music, and washing—ex-
tra.” .
“You could u’t have wanted it muc ,” said
Alice, “living at the bottom of the sea.”
“I could n‘t afford to learn it,” said the
Mock Turtle, with a sigh. “I only took the
regular course.”
“What was that l" inquired Alice.
“Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin
with," the Mock Turtle replied; “and then
the dificreut branches of Arithmetic,—Am-
bition, Distraction, Uglificstion, and Deris-
ion.”
“I never heard of “Uglification,” Alice
ventured to say. “What is it!”
The Gryphou lifted up both his paws in
surprise: “Never heard of uglifying !" it ex-
claimed. “YOu know what to beautify is, I
suppose ?” . V.
“Yes,” said Alice, doubtfully: “it means—
to—make—anything—prettier."
you don’t know what to uglify is, you are a
simpletou.”
Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any
more questions about it, so she turned to the
Mock Turtle, and said; “What else had you
to learn ?"
“Well, there was Mystery,” tb‘e Mock Tur-
tle replied, counting of the subjects on his
flamers—“Mystery, ancient and modern,
with Seaography: then Drawiing,—-the Draw-
lingmaster was an old cougar-eel, that used
to come once a week ; he taught us Drawling
Stretching, and Fainting in Coils."
“What was that like i" said Alice.
“Well, I can't show it you myself,” the
Mock Turtle said; "I'm too stifi‘. And the
Gryphou never learned it."
“Had n’t time," said the Gryphon; “I went
to the Classical master, though. He was an
old crab, he was."
"I never went to him," Mock Turtle said
with a sigh; “he taught Laughing and Grief,
they used to say. .
“So he did, so he did,” said the Gryphon,
signing in his turn, and both creatures hid
their faces in their pawa. ,
“And how many hours a day did you- do
lessons 1” said Alice, in a hurry to change
the subject. ,
“Ten hours‘the first-day,". said the Mock
Turtle; “nine the next, and so ou.’_’
“What a curious plan l" exclaimed Alice.
“That’s the reason they ’re called lessons,"
the Gryphon remarked; because they lessen
from day to day.”
This was quite a new idea to Alice, and
she thought it over a little before she made
her next remark: “Then the eleventh day
must have been a holiday ?"
“Of course it was,” said the Mock Turtle.
“And howdo you manage on the twelfth?”
Alice went on eagerly.
hon interrupted, in a very decided tone; “tell
her something about the games now.’
I have said there was another book beside
“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland," which
merits the best attention of the infant world,
as well as that of all grown-up pers )us who
have any appreciation of genuine wit. This
is called “Liliput Levee,” and it is written in
verse, and very good verse too. The poem
which gives its title to the little volume is
the best, but the contents are all good. The
necessity for publication arose (it seems) in
this manner. The children revolted against
the old folks, and established a provisional
government; they then appointed a king and
queen, who took up their quarters in Pina-
iore Palace; and lastly, of course, they wan-
ted a Laureate.
“I noticed, being a'man of rhymes.
An advertisement in the Liliput Times -
“Pmsronu Pmou. This is to state
That the Court is in want of a Laureate :
'Notbing menial required. '
Poets, willing to be hired,
Hay send in Specimens , at once,
Cure of the Chamberlain Dounmnuxcu.‘
Said I to myself; Here’s a chance for me,
The Liliput Laureate for to be !
And these are the Specimens I spot in
‘ To Pinafore Palace. Shall I win .9"
I think this author will attain and be estab-
ished as the Childern’s Poet for, at all events
this present generation. As in duty bound,
he describes the progress of the revolution
which occasioned the desired Office to be in-
stitnied. '
“Bully the thing was done,-
For the children were more than two to one;
Brave as lions, quick as foxes ,
With beards of wealth in their money-boxes.

They had peurshootershhey had arrows and bows

Then they gave themselves up to enjoy4
meat after their own fashion. I.
"They sucked the jam. they lost the spoons,
They sent up several fire-balloons,
They let off crackers, they burnt a guy.
They piled a bonfire ever so high.
They ofi'crcd a prize for the laziest boy.
And one for the most Hsgnitieent toy ;
They split or burnt the canes od-hand‘;
They made new laws in Liliput Land.
Never do to-doy what you can -
Put of fill tomorrow, one of them run;
Lats to bed and late to rise,
Was another law which they devise.
They passed a law to have always plenty
- 01‘ beautiful things; we shall mention twenty:
A magic-lantern for all to see,
Rabbits to keep, and a Christmas-tree,
A boat, a house that went on wheels,
Au organ to grind. and sherry at meals,
Drums and wheelbarrows, Roman candles,
Whips with whistles let into the handles,
A real live giant, a we to fiy,
A goat to tease, a copper to sky, -
A garret of apples, a box of points,
A saw and a hammer, and no complaints.
Nail up the door, slide down the stairs,
Saw ofi‘ the legs of the parlor chairs,—
That was the way in Lilipnt Land,
The Children having the upper hand. ’
They made the Old Folks come to school,
All in pinafores,—that was the rule,—
Saying: Esmr-dumr-diner-duss,
Kaftfer-wheeler-whileriwuse;
They made them learn all sorts of things
That nobody liked. They had catechisings;
They kept them in, they sent them down
In clasi, in school, in Lilipnt Town.
0 butthcy gave them tit for tat!
Thick bread-snd-butter, and all that;
Stick-jaw pudding that tires your chin,
.Wlth tho marmalade spread over so thin.
They governed the block In Liliput Land,
They altered the hour or themin ate-hand,
Justus they wished the time to go,
They never waited for king or for cat;
“You did.’ said
them Turtle.

our author is of the masculine gender; a

Here is a bit of humorous nonsense,which
Mr. Carroll (for one) I am sure will commit
to memory,-—
TOPS-TURVY wonLn.
If the butterfly courted the bee,
And the owl the porcupine;
Ifchnrchcs were built in the sea,
And three times one was nine;
Ifthe pony rode his master;
Ifthc butler cups ate the cows;
If the cat bad the dire disaster
To be worried. sir, by the mouse ;
If mamma, sir, sold the baby
To a gypsy for half a crown ;
Iia gentleman, sir, was a lady,—
The world would be Upside Down!
If any or all of these wonders
Should ever come about,
I should not consider them blunders,
For I should be Inside Out!
But the author of “Liliput Levee” is not
always merely mirthiul ;. he can be pathetic
,nlso; and when he drops a picture,»life-size
and yet how small l-see how graphic he
can be.

“Brown eyes, straight nose; dirt-pies, rumpled
clothes;
Torn books, spoilt toys ; arch looks, unlike a boy’s;
Little rags, obvious arts (three her age is); cakes,
tarts;
Falling down 011' chairs; breaking crown down
stairs’;
Catching files on the pane; deep sighs,-—cause not
plain;
Bribing you with kisses for a few farthfng blisses;
Wide awake, as you hear; ‘Mcrcy's sake, quiet deari’
New shoes, now frocks; vague views, of what’s

Nothing since “Baby May" has, to my
mind, been written, for truth and tersen ess,
equal to_ that “Poll y." Then there are the
“Doll Poems," really wonderful things, en-
dowing with sentiment sawdust and wax,
and touching the heart with the sorrows of a
too sensitive youth, who fell in love with the
most lovely Of artificial creatures, one Dol-
ladiue.

So of course, while he'lceeps up this wooing,
His education goes to ruin;
What are his prospects in future life,
With only a doll for his lawful wife?

It is feared his parents’ hearts will break !
And there ’s one remark I wish to make ;
Imay be wrong, but it seems a pity
For a movable doll to be made too pretty.
An old fashioned doll, that is not like nature,
Can never pass for a human creature!
It is in a doll that movcs her eyes
That the danger of these misfortunes lies l
The lover's name must be suppressed
For obvious reasons. He lives out West,
And if I call him Pygmalion Pout,
I don’t believe you will find him out 1”
Our author can, however, draw a real
(miniature) love-affair as truly as a sham one:
surely this which follows is an exquisite bit
of durscry sentiment.
PRINCE PHILIBERT,
“0, who loves Prince Philibcrt ? who but myself?
His foot ‘s in the stirrup; his book '5 on the shelf";
(Charming parody 1)
His dapple-gray Dobbin uitcndsto his whip,
And rocks up and down on the floor like a ship.
I went to the pond with him, just like tho sea,
To swim his three-docket, that ’21 named after me;
His checks were like roses; he knew all the rocks;
He looks like a sailor in gray knickerbocks.
0, where is the keepsake I gave you, my prince f
I keep yours in a drawer that smells ofa quince;
So how can I lose it ‘3 but you, giddy thing!
Keep mine in your pocket, mixed up with some
string.
Remember the riddle I told you last week!
And how I forgave you that scratch on the check!
You could not have helped it,you never would strike
Intending to do if, the girl you like!
You call me Miss Stupid, you call me Miss Prue!
But how do you like me in crimson and blue 2
We go partners in findings, and money, and that,
You help me in clphcriug; look at my hat!
I love you, Prince I’hilibcrtt who but myself?
With your feet intlic stirrup,your bookon the shell?
“’0 call you ll prince, John, but, 0, when you crack
Tho nuts we go halves in, your ’re my Filbert Jack!

She might have said, “It’s ill whar no wind
