THE LATE THOMAS HOOD.—The Dundee
vertiser says :—" It may not be generally known, but it
ought to be, that Thomas Hood, who so pathetically sung
the Song of the Shirt,' spent two years of his youth in
Dundee, and began his literary career in the. columns of
the Advertiser, the only newspaper then published in the
town. It was in 1814, when Hood was 15 or 16 years of
age, that he came to Dundee to live with his father's rela-
tives for the benefit of his health, which was always de -
cute. Here he found himself in the midst of aunts, uncles,
and cousins, of whose existence he had never previously he
and whose language and manners were quite strange and
uncouth to one who had been born and bred in Co ckneydom ;
it was,' he observes, like coming among the Struldbrugs.'
During these two years his amusements were walking,
fishing, and boating, occasionally relieved by writing for
the columns of the Advertiser, then under the editorship of
the late Mr. Rintoul of the Spectator. He also contri-
buted a few trifles to the Dundee Magazine. On examin-
ing a file of the Advertiser, extending over the period of
Hood's sojourn in Dundee, we cannot to a certainty iden-
tify any article, either in poetry or prose, as hood's Own,'
the contributions in general assuming fanciful names ; yet
we alight on an occasional whimsicality' which
have come from the pen which sketched so humorously
Miss Kilmansegg.' "—Era. might
