Book Graham s Magazine  1844  Vol  24  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Graham s Magazine 1844 Vol 24 Classic Reprint written by George R. Graham and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graham's Magazine, 1844, Vol. 24 Not a hundred miles from the famous city of Gotham, on the margin of a little lake of pure, transparent water, and white sandy shores, resided Mr. Gilbert Mervin, a respectable gentleman of more than competent estate, and descended from a family of some pretensions, both in the old and new world. In the former, one of his ancestors, or at least one of the name, had been associated with the famous Johnny Armstrong, whose "Last Good Night" forms the subject of a famous old ballad, in many of those exploits which led him to glory and the gallows. In the new, the family could boast of a president of his majesty's council, a collector of customs, and a recorder under the old colonial government. There was another historical character of the same name and blood, a gallant officer under Washington, who fell at the head of his regiment at Monmouth; but as, with this single exception, the Mervins were all stanch loyalists - they never boasted of this achievement. Mr. Mervin always called the General Mr. Washington, though in his heart he could not but admire the man who not only freed his country but left her free; whose patriotism had equally sustained the ordeal of adversity and prosperity, and who stands before the world so free not only from the stain, but the very imputation of crime, that even those who abhor the cause he espoused, reverence the hero through whose talents and virtues it triumphed. At the commencement of the Revolution, the father of Mr. Mervin - the collector of the customs - took sides with the loyalists, whether from motives of gratitude, from principle, or from interest, will be best decided by the sequel. It is sufficient to say that, by choosing this course, he eventually forfeited a large property, and, with his only son, became an exile. He retired to that paradise of loyality, Nova Scotia, where he subsisted on the interest of a moderate sum which was saved from the wreck of the rest of his fortune by being invested in the British funds. This was all he had; for the worthy old gentleman scorned to enlist himself among the crowd of those who claimed and received from the British government remuneration for losses which it is shrewdly suspected some of them never sustained. There were few means and opportunities of acquiring a liberal education at that time in any of the British colonies, and young Gilbert Mervin received but indifferent training. Neither was he, in truth, a very promising genius, to remedy what had been denied by circumstances. But nature had kindly made amends for all these deficiencies by giving him a letter of recommendation to my Lady Fortune, which answered every purpose. He grew up to be one of the handsomest men of the day, and possessed a voice that might corrupt a saint, much more a sinner. He was, therefore, all but irresistible, for the eye and the ear are the two great leading-strings of the grown up children of this world, most especially that portion which is said to have been last created, as the learned Palafergus supposes, from always having the last word. The return of peace brought back the elder Mervin and his son to the United Slates, where the former lived several years solacing himself with predicting the failure of the experiment of self government and the speedy return of the rebellious children to the bosom of their benign mother. He chuckled over the great controversy between New York and Vermont, and Shay's Rebellion, but never lived to see his prophecy fulfilled. The good man, for such he was, departed in peace, rested from his labors, and his works followed him; for a judicious and learned dissertation which he wrote on the propriety of restoring confiscated estates has never come to light.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Literary Magazine, 1848, Vol. 1: Monthly The apt papil of Coligni however did not forget nobler enter prises in the dazzling atmosphere of the court. He had never lost sight of the project of American discovery, and he now united with his brother Gilbert in a second expedition. Of the five ships of which this was composed, Raleigh built and fitted out the largest at his sole expense, and called it by his own name; though, in consequence, as it should soolu of the wishes of the Queen, he did not himself embark in the expedition. But a succession of disas ters attended the undertaking from the outset. An infectious dis temper broke out on board the Raleigh, and she was obliged to te turn in two days after leaving port. Gilbert proceeded on his way but, after taking possession of Newfoundland. He was obliged to abandon one of his ships, and soon after lost his largest remaining vessel somewhere ofl'the coast of Maine. Discontent, mutiny and sickness among his crew led him at length, reluctantly to abandon the idea of proceeding further south and to return to England. He was last seen on board his little bark, a vessel scarcely twice as large as the long boat of a merchantman, -encouraging his crew. And telling them we are as near to Heaven by sea as by land. But, after a night of terrible storm, when the morning dawned upon the deep, not a trace of the little bark or of the brave hearts it bore was seen again.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Putnam's Monthly Magazine of American Literature, Science, and Art, Vol. 9: January to July, 1857 Quite the reverse of this impassioned and fastidious devotee of liberty, was the next emigre. Calm, slow, and pas sive, like Hamlet's friend, he took the good and ill with equal thanks and, instead of being on the qui rice for changes, or troubled about the future, the great difficulty was, to reuse him to exertion. So long as his receipts as a teacher provided him with the dollar a week, for the weekly rent of his attic, and enough more to pay for bread and milk twice a day, and a heaping dish of maccaroni d la Napolitaine, at noon, he would read, and lounge, and speculate on metaph sical questions, on the sun ny side 0 the street, and ponder the Christian fathers at the Astor library. This indifference, so unusual with his race, at first surprised me, until I dis covered that, from boyhood to middle life, he had belonged to a Benedictine fraternity in one of the islands of the Mediterranean. The waves of revolution at length reached the walls of his con vent, and swept him forth, as it were by a mechanical impulse, until, one fine spring morning, he found himself in bustling, wide-awake Gotham, with no robe, cell, refectory, or other sublunary convenience, such as, heretofore, had been provided; the hair had grown over his shaved occiput, but the dependent, inefficient habits of the monk remain ed; he was erudite, but unpractical, versed in Latin authors, but ignorant of the world placid as a summer lake, but as unfit as a child to fight his way in the new world.
