      A VISIT TO THE ROY AL ACADEMY .

      rathe lush green grasses are , and breath the air so full of fragrant life and splendour—when we may not revel and rollick in the love « liness of earth , as it 13 hudding out with spring , and the blue heavens are full of song , and the kindled greenery wears a golden glow—when we cannot climb the sublime old mountain that for ages has lifted its silent peak up into the laughing face of Heaven—or drink in the delicious coolness of the merry green-¦ ffood , or rock ourselves on the magnificent bosom of old ocean , our pleasure , nest of kin , is in getting glorious glimpse 3 of these things from Pictures .

      We love Pictures , cettaia of which possess the magic of Opening all heaven upon cur sou ' . A Picture Gallery tons , who are shut up in a gloomy city , is like those springs which , of old , flowed by the English road-side , and ¦ which had a resting-seat for the weary traveller to sifc upon , and a howl attiched for him to refresh himself with a draft of the pure free water . They are our way-side sacrament . In the absence of the reality , we have a blessed privilege in the printer ' s happy art . B ' essings on them who keep such plots of Eden alne ,

      and warnf , and green in their hearts , and faring them to ua , welcome aud dear .-is tie cool sod of earth to the feet of Ihe poor sky-lark caged in its smoky city prison , What BparkHnghope 3 and throbbing memories they awaken , of the world of plenty and loveliness , the boundless land of beauty that lies outside . They bring us pleasant tidings of the summer-blue skies , the magnificence of morning , the pomp anil splendour of rich sunsets , the starry tenderness of evening , the woods with their gorgeous greenery , and all the glad and glorious world of nature . d

      Beauty is a charmed cup of blessing , anwe never lose a chance of obtaining the delicious draught , and when we cannot get it from the sweet face of Nature , we thankfully accept it from t . e hand of her fair sister . Sri . Entertaurnj these feelings we went ou Saturday last to the exhibition of the Royal Academy , and intend to tell you , in part , what we saw and what we thought . Let us say that we are not connoisseurs of pictures ; we are simply lovers of them , and , like every true lover , we think the object of our affection the lovliest and best . "We do not understand much about Chiaroscuro , and linear perspective , ( perhaps thia accounts for our belief in the pre-Raphaelites ) . "We are not particular to a thade . Nevertheless , we believe that most of the good things of this world have a sufficient charm for us , to draw us straightway to them by the subtle influence of the law of attraction . And we have also a firm

      faith that truth will always reveal herself to the true worshippers , who devoutly besiege her shrine . There are anore roads to the appreciative faeultie 3 than by critical analysis . Highest on the height of our admiration , and most ra « fliant in our memory , stands the marvellous and loveable picture of A Hugenot on St . Bartholemew ' s Day , refusing to shield himself from danger , by wearing the Roman Catholic badge , ' by John Millais , the chief of the pre-Raphaelita brotherhood . The artist haa at length made out lis meaning in this triumph of art . In our eyes it is the gem of the exhibition . If John Millais does not become the painter of his era , we will never trust the beauty of promise again . This painting is undoubtedly the greatest

      object of attraction in the exhibition—it is the Koh-i-noor of colours . And well it may be . There is no suoh light Of genius shed by any of the B » A . ' s of the Academy . All round it look like pictures ; this shines out as startingly life-like as any intense human looks and face 3 could do . The Ioyer 3 are standing under an ivied , red , brick-wall , which is dank and mossy—and what minute delineation there is in that wall ! it is reality itself . The nasturtium and the broken flower , dropped in the struggle , are pourtrayed with like -vividness . The two lovere are pressed heart to heart . She has tied the white kerchief around his arm , and is looking up hi his face with tearful entreaty and lip-quivering , heart-bursting tenderness . All her heart and life are concentrated in her beseeching pleading look ,

      praying him to wear the badge of safety . And what a face of beauty is there revealed ! The salt tears have somewhat run the rose-hue of life from it ; but how pure and perfect its priceless , passionate love ! What a tearful , soft , sweet splendour mingles with the shadow of coming woe ! And l 9 , what a living , passing tragedy he represents . His arms are round her ; one is gently withdrawing the kerchief , the other clasps the back of her head with a manful loving ca « less . And how he yearns over her ! His eyes are tearless , tsA tow tight and hard the Iine 3 of his face are drawn , as by the mortal tog of Agony , while his whole being quivers with its torture on the rack of fiery Feeling . It is a mar-Mellon ^ painting , in every way perfect and beautiful . The inminous and glowing depth of colour in that brilliant .

      puce velvet cloas , was never surpassed by the real silken pile . Scarcely inferior to thi 3 is the "Ophelia "by the same artist , and the next in point of attraction . Th . 9 one , is a picture to worship , the other , a picture to love . The critics have quarrelled with this painting because of the pi-ommency of certain details ; but we imagine they were very near-sighted gentlemen , who , being compelled to pry closely , have discovered certain minutia , and lost the grand harmonious truth of the whole . Standing at a few pace 3 from it we saw nothing but perfect harmony , the most luminous beauty , and a miraculous

      nmso . me description in Hamlet of the maiden ' s death isadmirably realised , and the painting is worthy of Shakespeare s poetry , flow rich and real i 3 the lush-leavy greenery of spring , and those flowers ! "Who ever saw Buch an painting ? let , amid all that flush of gorgeous hues , tne warm flesh is as living in its tints as nature . The expression of Ophelia ' s face is utter unconsciousness of her mournful peril , she is helpless as infancy , and incapable of estimating her danger , as she is being sucked by the water flown to her ' muddy-death . ' There is no pathetic appeal made to the heart , she is gliding through the portal of life as gently , and unregretable as when spirited awav bv the

      aaagical gemas of Shakespeare . We must confesB that we did not fall eo passionately in love with Hunt ' « Hireling Shepherd / Altogether it had a repulsive effect upon us ! and yet , when examined in detail , it was marvellonslv accurate , though having worked among agricultural labourers , m all seasons of the year , we cannot say that we remem ' 6 er to have seen a red in their faces so brick-dust-like » its roughness , and so vineously purplish ! Their yearning mothers mu 3 t hsve marked them with elder wine There is One other noticeable picture of the same school by Collins St . Elizabeth of Hungary in her Childhood . ' The expression ot the maiden Is not the most saint-like , but . the Daint-2 F PSTl eat in - . detail 3 ' Ward ' s ' Charlotte Corday going to Execution' is a fine picture , perhaps the finest historical painting , taken as a whole , and accenting f , h « , rti . f .

      HOW CAN WE OBTAIN POLITICAL EMANCIPATION ? TO inB EDITOR OF IHE STAB OF FREEDOM . Sin , —There are hundreds of young and earnest men waiting to help the working classes ; but we know not how . We will not waste our energies in talk , nor be led away by imagining an Utopia which your leaders do not take a Step to realise . Are they in earnest—these men ? Do they want honesty , power , or only purpose ? We glance at your Councils . The time is consumed in womanish regrets , or childish recriminations . We watch your meetings , looking anxiously for the moment when purpose and union shall make aid useful to you . Alas ! the stale epithets—the coarse diatribes of ' 33 and ' 43 , still fall on the dulled ear and the Bickened heart . That you are less organised than ever is my only hope . The links that bound you to leader after loader are broken —and for ever . The time is coming when each man must stand for himself .

      You have been beaten off , because men have been trusted to , and not principle . And these men , as good—nay , better men than most amongst you—have been fooled into demagoguism . You have taught them to think of themselves , rather tb . au of you . I see I am departing from the usual course , and address tho working men rather than the editor ; but as you stand as | their representative , and ore of their calmest , I will just point out to you one or two of the evils whioh , as we think , mark the course of Chartists and Socialists , and close my letter , which I desire to make practical rather than elegant , UBeful rather than eloquent . Fh | t , we gee you ask for too much at once . One point you would gain , if you sought for one at a time ; and not even one , without working and waiting—working and waiting for years . Your six points a revolution would not achieve .

      On one point you might re-unite tho . broken elements of Chartism , cement an union with the Socialists , and bring to your body those who have hitherto refrained from pining you , because your objects are visionary , and your instruments scattered . I need not point to the Suffrage as this one point . Public opinion is beginning to regard it as safe , as well as right ; but you blind men ' s eyes with a variety of aims , and they can neither give the full consideration one demands , nor hel p you with the concentrated power which even that one requires . Then ( you must pardon my Eeeming censorious—I feel for , and want to help you )—then , the measures you take are feeble , pointless , unsustained . Your London Conference Bhould sit " for ever "—no matter where . Its discussions should be constant , and its bnsiness should be briefly and simply conducted . You want little money , but you want more earnest men .

      If this Suffrage Movement were fairly undertaken—although youniet in a garret , or acellar . or beneath God ' sfree roof—the apostles of such a movement would , all speaking the same language—all fixed in the same aim—command attention and ensure success . Now , you are so knotted into parties that it would bo impossible to bring you together again , under any old cry , for an hour . You have squabbled away your hopes and bo mystified the people , that they know not what to believe or whom to follow . They would , if they Baw you in earnest , oome back . Thev would listen , think , and work .

      And why net educate these men ? You can do it—not by fervid harangues ; but by calm , quiet , patient teaching Whyshouldthe motto be left to City missionaries , the ' children to Ragged Schools , the fathers to the pothouse . You have able men amongst you . I know the work would he hard at first—hard , discouraging , unyielding ; but they would learn the value of your efforts , and respect you for your kindness . Your very paper may help to this end . Simple historical knowledge , popularly phrased and physiological truths , of home application , would prepare a nation of honest voters

      , that tyranny could not bamboozle or intemperance degrade . I fear I have trespassed on your time . If you insert my letter , give it place for its sincerity . We are tired of seeing the working men sitting down to promises that beguile them of their time , their brains , and their energies . Give them more substantial fare . One dish at a time—a plain dish , cooked with as much " sauce" as you like , but one that they know the name of , and have an appetite for . And then , " to work , " to work in every hamlet in England . Let your orators be good men—men who work with their own hands for their living , and give them well-earned

      leisure to tne worK ot thought . The labour will be a privilege —and for every labourer you have now , you will have a thousand .. Hammer into every man's head the will to be a voter . Let it follow him through the day , With everv Btitch of the needle-with every nail that goes into the leather-with every brick he flings to his mate , with every roll of the wheelbar row-with every jerk of the shovel-let K ^ L * iTH J y thethoB SHho is getting nearer the mTn r ,: utn ^ £ : ° ** b < J " ^ ^ - i .
