THE SPRINGIELD DAILY REPUBLICAN SATURDAY MARCH 19 1859 MUSICAL: iIANO ORTES AND MELODEONS 'i 3 IM NEW PUBLICATIONS I jC LEGAL NOTICES EGYPT ON EROADWAY PREACHINGS UPON POPULAR PROVERBS 1859 By Timothy Titcomb REAL ESTATE 5 1 I of the debts he owed oi the cash he had borrowed and we say Pet! He did not seem to know anything of the value of Tom Jones borrows money runs in debt and forgets to pay and we conclude that the rascal has no very acute sense of moral obligation in fact that Tom Jones is a swindler Now I have an idea that a moral cade that is good enough for Our Pet is good enough for Tom Jones and that Tom Jones has good cause of complaint when treated more larshlyby the decent public than his great exemplar I cannot help thinking that the indulgence with which great men are treated by the world in their moral obligations and eccentricities has much to do in making them what they are An unprinci pled man of genius who can achieve and main tain power over the minds of good men independ ently of his moral character and secure at tie same time the sympathy and support of bad men by participating in their vices will always do both The prevalent disposition which I see on all sides to make heroes and martyrs of the infamous great amounts to a premium on all that is despi cable and horrible in unbridled ambition and lim itless lust What means the attempt of the greatest living writer to apotheosize the brute whose choice it was to be buried with his horses? What will its effect be but to obliterate moral distinctions and lift up for imitation a character as much out of place i this Christian age as a wild boar would be in a conference meeting? Within the last three years hundreds of thousands of hearts have been turned in sym pathy and affection toward the character and life of one who sacrificed upon the altar of his rabid ambi tion hecatombs of his countrymen and filled all Europe with the wails and curses of widowsand orphans of one who had no God higher than ate acknowledged no leader but Destiny and who in following her put to shame all of man hood in mankind by trampling under his feet a true heart and a sacred vow that the Devil might give him the child that God had denied to him What will the effect of this be upon ambitious natures but to prove that a man has only to use all of the world he can lay his hands on for self ish ends to secure the services of a Christian eu logist? Even Aaron Burr the infamous traitor murderer and libertine finds a man to speak well of him praise only assuming the significance of a harmless joke in consequence of the freshness of the stench which his memory has left behind him Overall that realm where high or humble mind is struggling honestly with the great problems that concern its spiritual life and its immortal struggling towards the light through devious ways of I would see a broad winged liberality spread its luminous shadow To all those whose education in the truth has been limited whose circ*mstances of life have been adverse to the development of purity who are weak and ignorant and low in instinct and aspiration I would extend a charity that pities while it blames and considers while it condemns But to sin in high among men and wemen who are crowned kings and queens in the realm of those whose brows have been lifted into own light and whose tongues and pens reveal something of the divinity which struggles to enthrone itself in no excuses no palliations no patronage Over a great bad life let us sigh once and then be silent and when we choose among the memories of memor able men for the subject of a public tribute or a personal eulogy let us take one out of which shall spring inspirations to a pure life and motives to a noble heroism When we choose heroes for dei fication let them at least believe in the God who made them and present a life for delineation and contemplation unblotched by all the sins forbid den by the Decalogue He who spares vice or apologizes for it in the high places of the world wrongs virtue in every place He helps the good to look upon it lenient ly and thus to lower the tone of morality within themselves He assists the bad to make it res pectable and thus to give them warrant and li cense in its imitation and even emulation Ila discourages virtue in the humble and pebr the great masses who form the real basis 6f so ciety and upon whose goodness and truth the state must rely for its character before the world and its stability in the world He disturbs the moral apprehensions and unsettles the moral bal ance of all to whom his words and influence come Let us braid no more wreaths to hide the mark of Cain on the brow of murder Let us send up no more clouds of incense to veil the front of shame The intellect will bow if it must but let it be with a protesting tongue and arms closely folded over the heart The Key The Keys are a family un fortunate in their personal differences I have referred to the case of an elder brother of Mr Key who was killed in a duel about twenty years ago It has been en one iusly sta ed in a Washing ton print that the quairel was about a woman It was a boyish caprice and yet the cause and course of it were characteristic on both sides Sherburne and Key were young midshipmen together They sailed in the same ship on one of the long and useless cruisespresciibed for the exercise of our navy Mr Sherburne was from NewHmpshire quiet and unobtiusive Mr Key was a Maryland er connected with the most aristocratic families of that state and Virginia He took a dislike to Mr Sherburne and pursued him with ceaseless in sults on board ship A party of young midship men attended an evening party given by a Con gressional mess at a fashionable boarding house here in Washington The middies took their wine together but Key was observed to leave his wine untasted He was called on for an explana tion and gave it bipatly by saying that Sherburne was a coward for not resenting the indignities he had before inflicted upon him and he could not drink with him The poor young man was at length aroused He looked steadily at Mr Key also setting dowts his glass and said under stand yon You have made a mistake You ought to have known me better I will correct your He then bowed to his companions excepting Mr Key drank to them and retired The next morning Sherburne sent a message which produced a meeting at Blaudensburg Key was shot through the kidneys and lingered two days in intolerable anguish The late Mr marriage was also attended and preceded by evidences of the same strong and erratic temperament Col Charles May of Alto celebrity courted the beautiful Miss Swan of Baltimore and had been accepted by her He introduced Key to her as his intended bride The two fell in love at first sight and the gallant captain of dragoons was left to mourn the inconstancy of the female heart He of course challenged Key The affair produced an awful tumult iu Washington Key and May were pur sued by the police They barricaded themselves in separate apartments and defied the civil pow er but of course the deed was prevented The captain went to the wars where he achieved fame on the field and Key having married the beauty was appointed through family influence to the office which he held at his death This lady one of the loveliest I ever saw died two or three years ago and it is tnoughtby some that Key from the oddity of his dress' and the singularity of his behavior afterwards became partially deranged by the bereavement But this was an" unfounded conjecture His friends had known him always to posses an unbalanced and extravagant mind in which violent anger and passionate tenderness alternated Chicago Tribune Correspondence of The Republican A countryman whirled down from his quiet ru ral retreat into the world renowned thoroughfare of New York is in a mood for all sorts of transi tions and surprises But we were ardly prepared for such as we encountered the other day when after floating some distance on that river of life brute and human that flows along Broidway we managed to get ashore and recover our lost iden tity Turning aside a few steps we were sudden ly transported from the living busy present back three thousand years into the dead and mummied past We seemed to have left the new world and its empire city all out of sight and bearing and in crossing a simple threshold crossed the Atlan tic! and Mediterranean and explcrl the tombs and catacombs of ancient Egypt We had just seen a life size bust of Buchanan and now by a singular coincidence the of the Exo showed his colossal head in sandstone red in the face but otherwise cold and passionless Looking' out of a window we espied some of those brown stone and marble fronts that are monu ments metropolitan wealth and enterprise Then peering into an open box within we discov ered several bricks of unhurried clay supposed to have been made by the Israelites but of no use now but mutely to vindicate even with their and stamp of the task maste: the truth of scripture history The next specihch of un baked clay that presented itself was a small cof fin containing an image of a corpse that had graced the entertainment of some rich Theban thousands of years ago His guests were notcan nibals that hankered after Unia dainty dish but their revelry might rise to a hight and their feasting beprotracted to uprpasontrie lengths were it not for the timely introduction of this re minder of death and the but strange ly now would sound this request inn an enter tainer to his guests your eyes on this fig ure drink then and be While' consid ering the Wisdom Of thus the' festal and funereal we tried to read by gas light anold ritual of the dead twenty three feet long and profusely illustrated until in despair we concluded that it wag written only for the benefit of those who lived and died long ages before gas burners were invented A sudden turn actually revealed the very dead perhaps over whom that mystical ritual on papyrus had been read Ileiy reposed the form of an ancient with her' braided hair just as death left it aud her cunning fingers resting where they were laid three thous and years ago Near fey stood her cat

provinces mortal themes wrested from them immortality for himself and the language in which he wrote I see no tributes paid by the world to the memory of Montgomery I never had the opportunity of drinking a toast to the gentle Christian Cowper or filling a bumper to Isaac Watts whose lyric muse has given wings to more hearts burdened with praise and surcharged with aspiration than that of any other man since the sweet singer of Israel I have never had an invitation to a din ner given to the memory of Howard whose life was one of most touching poems or attended a supper in honor of Martin Luther I find the great of the who were good in their greatness and great in their goodness pretty generally let alone by the men who are accustom ed to express their obligations to those who have been pre eminent in government literature and art while the memory of sren whose weaknesses called for an extra cloak of pity and whose vices made sight drafts on all the ready charity in the market were toasted to the echo No great man who has scandalized his age by his personal vices or done violence to the avowed principles of his public life by a great apostasy can fall without drawing to his funeral all the apostates around men clinging to him by the sympathy of vice and falsehood and using that sympathy as a platform which shall elevate them into the respectability which bis genius won for him Even the manes of Tom Paine is an nually summoned into the congenial atmosphere of the banquet hall to make respectable by its power and fire an infidelity and libertinism which stink in the nostrils of a Christian nation and which otherwise would suffocate themselves in their own effluvia Everybody knows how it is with the memory of Burns It cannot well be doubted that more revellers assemble every year to celebrate his memory through sympathy with the steaming whisky which he loved so well than with the aroma of his genius they exclaim a pity he Burns! Child of Nature! Let us forgive him that his gifts were not dedicated to the promotion of the purity which hallows the names of mother sister and dog that Burns 1 True he loved wine and women but then he suffer for it? Let us compassionate him He so much to blame after all The only wonder is how a man with the tremendous fire works he had in him did not blow up with the first flash of a eyes that smote And thus the carrion crows bewail the dead sheep and then eat them Thus with cloaks covered with the mud of the gutter they flock to gether to contemplate the mud that a prostituted genius has gathered upon its garments and fos ter their self complacency by charitably trans muting its sins into whims Thus the dogs en deavor to get into the mill under cover of the ass One of the most mischievous and fallacious of the current notions of an easily erring world I conceive to be that which makes the possession of great gifts and the achievement of great works an offset to or an apology for indulgence in vices which crompromise individual and social purity and outbreaks of passion that come within the cognizance of the police I believe that I respect all there is to be respected in the memory of Burns but he was a weak in many respects a and in most respects a man He was the slave of a debasing appetite and though at brief intervals he surrendered himself to the higher and purer inspirations that floated down to him from heaven he loved to put them aside and envelop himself in an atmosphere of sensuality If he had a manly sense of manhood wakened into life by the arrogance of wealth and place it found its issue in words and not in life It was the outburst vf a protesting impulse rather than the self assertion of a principle standing in the center of the motive forces of his being Burns has left enough upon record to show that he possessed the subtlest apprehension of all that is noble in religion all that is sweet and pure in woman all that is strong and fruitful in manly virtue and all that is praiseworthy in individual and national character His best poem Saturday is a revelation clear as light of his knowledge of goodness and his con victions touching thatwhich is noblest and truest in life By a kind of necessity he and all the brother hood of vice enslaved genius have been made to re veal such a degree of knowledge of the truest truth and the best goodness that all apolog' for their in consistent and inconstant lives must be gratuitous If great men have great passions they have great minds with which to regulate and keep them in subjection and in the degree in which God has given them power to move the hearts and attract the admiration of men are they bound to teach by word and pen and exemplify by life that which is truest and best in their convictions and divinest in their faculties There is an abundance of vice in the world that legitimately calls for our charity but it is not that which is associated with such genius as fully ap prehends the beauty and the claims of virtue Goethe is one of the Goethe many sided Goethe the man of science the poet the yet his life was almost an unmitigated nuisance If be ever failed to be a curse to a woman with whom he was thrown into association it was not because he failed in effort for that end The beast that was in him toyed through more than a filthy half century with the most delicate instincts and the most sacred sym pathies of the female nature Yet there are those who beg us not to judge Goethe too who bid us remember the power of his passions and the license of the age in which he lived It is an swer enough to this plea to say that Goethe was as cool a a man as thoroughly under self as any whose history we know and that he flagrantly scandalized even the age which is thrust forward as his apology I say that to treat such a life as his with anything softer than downright to drape it with the velvet of charity and trim it with silky apologies is ah direct and upon the cause of virtue in the world While vice is made venial when associated with transcendent powers while tributes of honor are offered to the memory of lives perverted by men who have a covert interest in making perverted lives respectable while even good men allow their admiration of genius to soften their judg ments upon its prostitution and substitute for a well earned condemnation a magnanimous gratu ity of pity it will not be strange if men with small er intellects find excuse for such license of appe tite and passion as they may see fit to indulge in Our literary Pet got drunk
