Much of the light shed upon what otherwise would have been the melancholy pages of our Epitome comes from his ready hand, throwing about enlightenment in very thunderbolts. His reputation as an artist came to us through many words, and of course we accepted the general judgment in appointing him as one of us. The letters L. U., ' 86, beautifully charcoaled upon the library steps, were all the circumstantial evidence we had of his genius. He now, for the first time, gives out to the world what his real worth is. We beg your indul- gence, gentle readers, as he has one nervous temper. When not engaged in putting his mind upon paper, board or wall, w ' e cannot say where he locates it. What is the import of that soft, sweet candor which plays about his beauteous face ? Is it the dreams of those Elysian fields where summers are eternal and Blicks no more revealed to the outer wall, or is it the absentmindedness caused by the turkey of which we learned he partook so heartily ? Dream on, fair brother ! It will not be long before the hard world will take its pin from out the lappel of its long coat, insert it in your humanity and tell you what you are. Dream, I say! Adieu, my Muse 1 He has not left this life, nor, until that departure takes place, can we presume to say what the great event of his being is, was or shall be.
