Thackeray was one of the great
masters of English fiction during the
Victorian era and the centenary of
his birth, which falls on July IS, is
sure to reawaken interest in his
most genial of men, tender Of heart
and yet possessed of a determination
and courage that enabled him to over
come the misfortunes of his early life.
AS for his literary productions they
are known and read wherever the
English tongue is used. Few are the
people who have not read his Vanity
Fair, Pendennis. Henry Esmond, The
Newcomes and The Virginians. And
it is safe to say that nearly every
reader has been fascinated by the
charm of his diction, his genial wit
and humor, and his exquisite delin
cation of character.
But Thackeray's works also had a
positive value in that through them
be effectively attacked many social
sham and exposed the follies and
sins of aristocracy. In truth there
was in him good deal of the demo
crat which accounts for much in his
writings that makes them especially
acceptable to American readers.

means, let us learn to sing praises to
God, for no worship is purer and
sweeter I am very fond of music
and poetry myself. A writer of an

thou who bringest the recedi1 2 waves
Of eternity nearer to the weary heart
Of man, as he stands upon the shore
and longs to cross over, art thou the
evening breeze Of this life, or the
morning air Of the future?" Another
said: emusic is Gods best gift to
man; the only art of heaven given to
earth; the only art of earth we can
take to heaven" What greater praise
could anything be given that that? 1
think we should all try to learn mus
ic. How many of you Cousins like
