and subsist altogether on spells Of his
rlfie. Often he would plunge into remote
solltudes far out towards the Rio Grande
where no face was to be seen except that

% single term. But still, in spite of all
persuasion and remonstrance and induce
ments OF every character, from those who
almost worshipped his genius, he would
ever return, in brief period, to his
strange wanderings. Was 1t the power
OF the poetic sentiment within him, that
urged to such life Could it be the
splendid twinkling mystery of the ever
lasting night-heavens which caused his
preference fer sleep in the open air, with
no root above his head save the royal
arch Of God'sl Were all this rowing
caused by that painful sense of restless
ness which springs from unsatisfed faith,

many murmuring streams, and in the un-
dying blooms of the broad prairies, and

lem, when afar off in the desert, where
sin had never come Or was it some
ghost of memory from the brighter DAYS
of youth, when the dews of life's dawn
had not all melted away from the soul,
that beckoned him onward ever, with |
looks OF love in its dim, beseeching ewes

nature, tinged with stains of blood, that
haunted him always, and would not leave
him at peacel Who can tell n
One thing however is certain, although
| 40 not see how it tends to explain the
enigma of life; yet many others thought
differently From the hour that he first
appeared in Tennessee until his final exit
from Texas, no one ever knew where he
was born. He never spoke of his native
place, nor of his father, mother, or any
relative, and he never permitted others
to question him upon the subject.
AT last, after spending several years in
the wild way previously described, he
