dared approach him.
Leach belongs to that desperate class Of

personal experience. During all the fore
going events [ had been following the dur

Classical Institute, though in a mechanical,
perfunctory manner, with little heart in the

haps ordinarily acquired by youths of my

regularly, and had also the use of my pre-
ceptors mail. He was an highly cultured
old gentleman, bent with age but full Of
classical lore, a native of Dublin, but for
half-a-century resident in Delaware. where
he acquired considerable property and strong
Jeffersonian Democratic views. He sided
with the North against secession because,
like thousands of the Northern people, he
fancied Republican institutions would be
crushed if once the Union were dis-linked
Whereas in fact the Southern Confederacv
was founded on more Republican principles
than even the old Union); but his leaning's
were all towards the sunny side Of the
Union. He was very kind to me, as were
his family, with whom [ boarded during va
cation, not being able to come home for so
short a time. On one occasion. early in the
