Thomas Paine.

The plaster cast of the head of Tom Paine,
" Inch j. now in the collection of the New York
Historical Society, Is said to be very correct. 1t
represents him. however, in old age, and is de-
hcent IN the power which marks Romney'
portrait
John pintard once met Paine at IA dinner par
ly, and told HIM that the perusal of the Age of
Reason only confirmed him in his belief in
Christianity. The old deist wittily replied ::
Then have made nj least one Christian"
The most interesting thing concerning him is
'heetham'S biography, which is one of the few
works of this kind inspired by hate. Cheetham,
ike Paine was an Englishman, and was also an
attendant OF The deistic clubs of the day, but he
handles his subject with great severity
Chectham's enmity, however was partly, at
least, compensated for by Cobbett's admiration
There are persons now living who can remem-
ber when the latter had cottage, about two
miles from Wall street, and the eXhumatior of
Palnes bones by his order is not forgotten.
This occurred in 1919, ten years after Paine's
death. Cobbett complained that the Americans
had not sufficiently honored the author of the
Crisis, and he took the bones to England in
order to give them distinguished burial with
all the pomp of popular demonstration. He
was, however. unable to accomplish this, and
the box containing the bones was stored in a
warehouse, where as it is said, it is still allowed
10 stay.
The year before Paine- bones went off amid
popular contempt, the body of General Mont
somery was brought from Quebec and buried
IN -. Paul's churchyard with every token of
gratitude and respect. And vet Paine did more
Than Montgomery for American independence.
The public, however, could not forgive his at
lack on the Scriptures.
Ii is a matter of interest in point of art that
the bust of Paine to which reference has been
made, was moulded by Jarvis, the distinguished
portrait painter, and il has never been explain
ed why the man of canvas and colorS should on
This occasion have chosen another and an unfa-
miliar method.
There is probably not man living who re-
members Paine. lie was in his latter days a
frequent contributor to the press, and his ac
count of the yellow fever, which had visited
both New York and Philadelphia, was written
IN lSO6 at the request Of Jefferson. He is de-
with plain features, but with eyes of great pow
er, and just such notion of their author is sug-
gested by & perusal OF his political works.

sworn to an income Of 81 900 for
