as firmly as a pin-head. This IS nearly the
sum of his personal defects; all else, except
the voice (Which is monotonous and disagree
lable,) is certainly in his favor. His face seems
literally instinct with expression: iseye. shove
all full of deep thought and meaning. As he
walks, or rather struggles, along the streets,
he seems in state oftotal abstraction, unmind-
1 ful OF all that is going on around him, and
Isolely occupied with his own working mind.
You cannot help thinking that literature with
him is not mere profession or pursuit. but
that it has almost grown part Of himself as
though historical problems or anaivtical criti-
icisms were part OF his daily and intellectual

Quincy now resides.at Lassvadc. a romantic
rral yiiiage once the residence Of Sir Walter
Scott, about seven mics from Elinourg, Scot

over him, and where he is the wonder Of ths
county people fer miles around.
LAMARTINz.
Lanartine is--yes, young ladies' positively
"a pfi8l looking man. with q lon1 face, short
gray hair, slender figure, and suit Of black.
Pat pen behind his ear,and he would look

cally speaking--large and round at the top.
with spacious forehead, and q soaat allot-
ment Of cheek. Pr5Da IS the word, tsouga.
There is nothing in his appearance which Is
ever SO remotely suSgastiyeof the. romantic.
He is not even pale, and as for aTollins shirt
collar, or Byronic tie, he is evidently not the
man TO think of such things. Romance, in
fact, is the article he lives by, and, ike other
men, he chooses to 'sink the shop at least
when he sits for his portrait.
DUMAS,
On the contrary, is burly fellow. His
large red, round cheeks stand out till they
seem to stretch the very skin that covers them,
and it looks as smooth as a polished apple.
lis black crisped hair is piled high above his
forehead, and stands divided into two unequal
masses, one inclining to the right and the other
to the left. His eyes are dark, and his mouth
sensuous, but not to the degree Of vulgaTity.
His person is large and his flowing mantle red.
lie is gentleman to lay bare his throat and
look romantic, not Byronically so, but piratic-
ally Yet he looks good humored, and like
man whose capacity for physical enjoyment Is
boundless. lis negro blood is evident enough
to one who knows he has it.; but it would not
be detected by one who knew it not It ap-
pears in the rotGndty Of the man and al his
paris. It crisped ard heaped his hair; i made
him dress up in flowing red TO have his por-
TRAIT taken. Bub his complexion is onlYa
shade darker than tile aTerage. The portrait
reminds Us for moment Of The late Thomas
Hambtin, the actor.
