come out of our beehive. This man com-
mitted every unpardonable sin against our
conventions, and his whole life was an out-
rage. He was neither chaste, nor industri-
ous, nor religious. He patiently lived upon
cold pie and tramped the earth in triumph.

He did really live the life he liked to live,
in defiance of all men, and this is a great
desert, a most stirring merit. And he gave,
in his writings, a true picture of himself and
of that life, -- a picture which the world bad
never seen before, and which it is probable
the world will not soon cease to wonder at.
