The success of the book was un-

twenty and in an incredibly short
time had developed into a great
poet, dramatist and novelist. A
few years after his marriage there
came change in both his literary
and in his political opinions. His
writings heretofore had all borne
the earmarks of the classics of
Greek and Roman literature, but
gradually developed into what the
classicists termed heresv. The
climax was reached when
"Hernanar'' was presented-an
event long remembered in Paris.
The march of public events was
the cause of his change of politi-
cal views. He was always sensi-
tive to the currents OF public
opinion and he soon became as
ardent a republican as he had been
a royalist. 1t is not my purpose
in this paper to deal much with
the political life of Hugo except
as it bears upon his literary achieve
ments, 80 I will merely mention
that he was very successful as q
politician up to that fatal second
of December, 1851, when the
nephew of Napoleon the Great
displayed that famous "stroke of
policy" and Baudin was killed and
Hugo Obliged to fly from France.
He fled first to Belgium, but his
furious attacks upon Napoleon

gian government ito request his

Victor Hugo.

Paper Read Before the Ch1utauqud Circle
Deservedly called the great
writer Of the nineteenth century
he was born in some small town
in the west of France. His father,
General Hugo, soldier of the
empire and one of Napoleon the
Greats most trusted generals, was
continually in garrison or field, SO
that at ten years of age Victor
had lived in no one place for
many consecutive months.
After the star of Napoleon had
set forever, Madame Hugo es-
poused the cause of the Bourbons,
and SO enthusiastic and demonstra-
tive were her actions that they
led to a complete estrangement
between herself and General Hugo
who still upheld the republic.
Victor and his brothers remained
with the mother, and for a num-
Der of years very quiet life was
lived in a secluded and neglected
tho spacious garden in a sub.
urb of Paris. The boys had for
a tutor an ex-priest, and it was
this priest, this silent garden and
this loving mother that instilled
into Victor Hugo's mind many OF
the rich gems that afterward
found utterance in poem, drama
and speech. 1t was here in this
garden, too, that he first met the
little girl who afterwards became
his wife.
The one thought uppermost in
all of Hngo's writings, is liberty.
That seemed to be his prevailing
passion; all his Hottest ambitions
and thoughts were concentrated In
that one grand passion. His nat
ural hatred for tyrants and their
deeds was strengthened and in
tensifed by the tragic death OF
his godfather who was betrayed
to his death by promise of pardon
after he had been for two years in
hiding with the Hugo family.
His first literary work that
brought any pecuniary aid of
moment was the publishing of
his first volume of Codes This
book sold pretty we'll, altho it did
not meet with much enthusiasm,
as there seemed to be but little of
the individuality or personal power

In grounds that were both trim and neat,
Where graveed walks and charming flowers,
Solicited the wandering feet.
A very Paradise it seemed
With virgin joys and glories crowned
spot upon this sin-cursed earth
Which yet the serpent had not found.
l saw a woman, pure and good,
Upon whose cheek the roses doomed;
Who deep inhaled the atmosphere
Her dearest husbands love perfumed
calm and happy life was hers.
No grief upon her spirits pressed;
And hope, the darling angel bright,
Sat monarch in her loving breast
saw happy family,
With ruddy cheeks and faces bright,
Whose joyous hearts expression found
In eyes that danced with pure delight
The maids were modest, chaste, and fair,
The boys were brave and noble, too;
The families as blest as this
The sun shines on, l trow, but few.
saw a man with form erect,
And with calm, expressive face,
Upon the lineaments of which
1t was not hard for one to trace
The working of noble soul;
A sympathetic friend, and kind;
More ardent, constant, firm than whom
Twas ne'er my privilege to find.
l saw that cottage once again.
But ah! twas sinking to decay;
The window lights were broken in,
The shutters had been wrenched away,
The grounds were overgrown with weeds;
No hand had trained the vines of late,
And want dwelt now where wealth had been;
Twas blighted cursed, and desolate.
| saw that woman once again;
Her face was thin, her cheek was pale;
And from old Cares deem chiSeled lines
read, with pain, her sorrows tale.
Within her heart, where hope had reigned
When all was joyous, bright, and fair,
A monarch crowned with ebon sat,
Whose name I've learned to call Despair.
saw that family again;
But oh! the change, how very sad.
They wandered forth, to virtue lost,
In filthy, tattered garments clad
Their eyes no longer danced with joy,
Nor could they longer happy be,
For sin and poverty and shame
Had overwhelmed that family.
l saw that man but once again,
With bloodshot eyes and bloated face,
Upon the lineamentS of which
1t was not hard for one to trace
The workings of fallen SOUL
vicious, prostituted mind,
More wretched and depraved than whom
May God forbid 1 e'er should find!
man, a family, a wife,
Once good and happy, young and fair,
Have fallen from the heights of hope
Far down the starless gulf, despair.
The cottage, too, the home of peace,
Has been surrendered up to fate,
And now its many tongues repeat
BEHOLD. l. too. am desoldfe."
What agency, or arm so strong
What evil genius, or spell
Can so bring down the human race,
From heaxen's gates, so near to hell?

Of human ills we find the sum,

This was an easy matter and when
the Third Missouri arrived at
Camp Alger, my big brothers
little brother was with it. Short
ly after the regiments arrival it
was mustered into the government
service and then it behooved me
to slide into my citizen clothes
and take to the woods. But
where were those citizen clothes?
There was the rub! They were
not to be found. [ thought my
brother had brought them and he
thought I had brought them. l
was certainly in a wretched pre-
dicament. My brother had no
money, his friends had no money,
and I, WE'LL was never known
to have money. But, neverthe-
less, l knew l had to get away
from that camp, citizen clothes or
no citizen clothes. I then went
to the captain and asked for

the regimental lines all right, and.

me.

dramatically; "A friend with a

the sentry answer: Advance,

such answer came. Instead, came
the call: Corporal of the guard.
Post number fourteen" This call
was repeated by the sentry on post
number thirteen, then by the one
on post number twelve. and SO on
down until it reached the guard
house at post number one. A few
minutes later the corporal of the
guard with squad of men arrived
at post fourteen and was un-
tremendously bundled off to the
guardhouse, and the next morn
ing was taken back to the Third
Missouri regiment. TO say that l
got the laugh would be putting it
mildly.
The next night, smarting from
the sting of rldicule heaped upon
me for my first failure, [ started

Eighth Ohio colored regiment.
