" Since Kennedys life Of William Writ, we
have had no biography, certainly no American BIZ
ograpby, which will at all compare in interest with
this work. IL must be read by multtudes with in
tense interest. VI .Nerark Daily advertiser
Mr.. Garland has made rood use of his mate
rial, and has given a striking and accurate por-
ature OF the erratic and brilliant subject Of his
pen. ~ .Nt,r Orleans Delta.

EXPERIENCES.
BIZ MAJOR PATrEN, US. ARMY.

About the world I've journeyed much,
we travelled far and near,
And my experience is such
As you shall shortly hear.
I've seen the worst-l've seen thu. best
Of ESQ called) human kind,
Where all are busily in quest
Of what they never find.
I've known a man who robbed the poor
And yet was rich himself,
Who drove the beggar from his door
With slaver on the shelf.
I've seen judge who justice sold,
Have heard gamester pray,
And known a wife that did not scold
"Upon washing day."
I've known a lawyer plead case
Who never sent his bill.
And known doctor (not of laws)
Take his prescription pill.
I've known tradesman speak the truth,
I've heard a pal son swear,
And knew a hackman once In sooth,
Who charged but iaeful fare.
Ive known person play at whist
Who would not play at loo;
And known an Abolitionist
Who did slave pursue:
To lavish on his offspring wild
A miser hord his gold,
And seen mother leave Ter child
For stranger hands to hold.
I've seen a maiden who had slid
Who had modest air,
And seen belle who (seeming) did
Not know that she was fair;
Once on railroad twas my lot
To get ''passage Free"
And on steamer once got
A decent cup of tea.
And have seen, once in my life,
A husband, be it known,
Who did not treat his neighbor's wife
Some better than his own;
And also seen-l' be (dont wink y
As gentle as ! can
Some time ago, it was-l think
