The importance of The Knickerbocker magazine may be judged by this list of names; yet in dignity of tone and especially in the quality of its humour it was somewhat below the stl returns. According to a somewhat dubious tradition its decline began when Graham published a harshly unfavourable review of Uncle Tom's cabin. Among the contributors to Graham's in its best days were Cooper, Longfellow, Lowell, Hawthorne, and Simms. Most of the Southern magazines were still conducted in a spirit of patriotism and local literary pride, rather than as paying business ventures. The most famous of these, The Southern literary Messenger, was founded at Richmond in 1834. It

Though it was used in a diluted form here and there by Poe and Simms and though Harris employs it for some of the stories in his Nights with Uncle Remus, it can hardly be said to have found

the recognized organs of Southern opinion applauded the assault, declaring it good in conception, better in execution, and best of all in consequences, Richmond Enquirer, June 12. The best known representative of Southern literature, William Gilmore Simms, justified the assault; and his feelings were so strong that he could not withhold them from a New York audience, Nov. 18, 1856; but his indiscretion at once broke up his enterprise as a lecturer at the North.

This exultation was marked by a coarseness and brutality in sentiment, set off in incoherent and even clumsy language, in which it now seems incredible that a civilized people could indulge. These exhibitions were well compared at the time to a dance of savages over a collection of scalps, and contrasted with the Northern discussion of

Gilmore Simms, says: He has, indeed, been sorely tried, most sadly beset by family afflictions and pecuniary lots . He has buried nine of fourteen children, one or more of them recently; within the past two years he lost his dwelling-house in this city, by fire, and was entirely uninsured; and now a fire of unknown origin has consumed his noble and hospitable homestead, with many valuables, and he is rendered homeless and houseless.--This happened, too, while he was benevolently sheltering two families besides his own. He was insured in the Fireman's Insurance Company; and he will scarcely receive the full amount of his policy, in consequence of the heavy losses of that company by the late disastrous conflagration; but we have reason to believe that he will realize more than he and his neighbor friends anticipate.

Gilmore Simms, is the career of George D. Prentice, famous in the U habits.

The bitterest cup of misfortune which poor Simms has drained would be a goblet of-nectar in comparison with miration and this honor will be permitted, in the case of Mr. Simms, to assume a form more substantial than words, and that V
