WALTER ScoTT.-It is curious to observe
how the powers Of this great mind ripened. y
melancholy and sickly child, a neglected and
unemployed barrister, the unintcresting present
became with him merged i'll the mighty past
A boy to all appearances stupid, fought over the
battles of Scotland with pebbles as playthings
and, while brietless lawyer in the Judiciary
halls of the ancient parliament house of Scot
land, gave his attention more to its treasured
antiquities than to the legal matters there in
daily progress. The legendary lore of his coun-
try fascinated and employed mind formed for
greatness. His enthusiasm was Awakened
The seeds were being sown, afterwards to be-
come magnificent trees, laden with luscious and
abundant fruit, under which the nations were to
refresh themselves. The golden Isle of Calypso
rose slowly on the deep, with its musical founts,
its gardens of beauty, and its bowers of bliss.
Then were conceived those vivid and picturesque
scenes which dignity and adorn his voluminous
pages. Then were ripened those delicate senti-
ments which hang, like graceful drapery, around
the emanations of genius. He lived over again
the dimy recorded history of his country, which
he has restored with the vividness of his own
perceptions National Democratic Rer,ew.
