DEATH or SMITH, THE SCOTTISH PoET
Our foreign exchanges notice the decease,
after a prolonged illness, OF Alexander
smith. the author Of a Life Drama etc,
which occurred early in January His fu-
neral took place on the 10th ult., and was
largely attended by the literary and proies-
sional celebrities Of Edinburgh. The Lord
Provost and Professor Blackie were among
the pail bearers. Mr.. Smith was a young
man in the middle ranks Of life, and the
public were astonished when in 1858, "a
Life Drama and ether Poems" was pub
lished by a dry goods clerk Of Glasgow, Of
the age Of twenty-three. He was at once
recognized as poet Of no ordinary worth,
a writer Of great originality and deep
thought whose language was characterized
by vivid and powerful imagery, and whose
diction wa elegant, rich and expressive.
The young man was taken from the counter
and appointed Secretary of the University
of Edinburgh, which post he held 20 has
death. de was thus thrown in contact with
the literary men Of the country, and having
every means OF improving himself he
shortly after published City lie and other
Poems, which fully sustained his previous
reputation. Since then he published ed
