Our readers may, if they choose, consider as our Christmas or New Year's present to them, the curious warble, by Walt Whitman, of <cite>"A Child's Reminiscence,"</cite> on our First Page. Like the <cite>"Leaves of Grass,"</cite> the purport of this wild and plaintive song, well-enveloped, and eluding definition, is positive and unquestionable, like the effect of music.
The piece will bear reading many times--perhaps, indeed, only comes forth, as from recessos, by many repetitions.
