mo document In actual Amer
lean history conveys a more !,
powerful lesson Of what citizen !
ship In this republic means, none !,
delivers a more searching appeal
to loyalty, than this fanciful re-
cital of the Man Without a
Country. The unhappy creature
whose living death II has graVed
upon the memory of mankind
was but a figure born Of a writ
er's imagination. Yet, the &C
count of his passionate outburst
and of his dreadful e~xpiatlon
stlrs the dullest soul, and will
awaken emotion In the minds
Of readers Of generations yet un-
born. There can be no more ar
resting lesson for the disloyal or
the needless, no more inspiring
appeal to the spirit Of true Amer
icanism, than this memorable
work Of literary art and high
souled patriotism.l

great day-his arrival-tO poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan 10 take him out in his
skiff, to show him a cane-brake or a
cottonwood tree, as he said, really to
seduce him and by the time the sail
was over, Nolan was enlisted body and
soul. From that time, though he did
not yet know it, he lived as "A Man

was proved guilty enough, as l say
yet you and I would never have heard
of him, reader, but that, when the

story. For Captain Shaw, if it was he.

charge, and he TO his.
The rule adopted on board the ships
on which l have met The Man without
a Country was, I think, transmitted
from the beginning. No mess liked TO
have him permanently, because his
presence cut of all talk of home or Of
the prospect of return, of politics or
letters, Of peace or of war-cut of
more than half the talk mer ike 10
aave at sea. But it was always
thought too hard that he should never
meet the rest of Us, except TO touch
hats, and we finally sank into one Sys-
TEN. He was not permitted TO talk
with the men unless an officer was by.
With officers he had un~restrained in
t~ercourse. as far as they and he chose.
But he grew shy, though he had favor
ties: l was one. Then the captain
always asked him TO dinner on Mon
day. Every mess in succession took
up the invitation in its turn. Accord
ing TO the size Of the ship, you had him

minutes, with a face Ike a sheet, to

Nolan laughed. But nobody else
laughed. old Morgan was too
solemn, and the whole oom was
hushed dead as night for a minute.
Even Nolan lost his swagger in a mo-
ment. Then Morgan added: mr..

The marshal gave his orders, and
the prisoner was taken out Of court.

it was suggested by the necessity Of
sending him BY water from Fort
Adams and Orleans. The secretary OF
the navy was requested to put Nolan
on board a vessel bound
on a long cruise, and to direct that he
should be only So far confined there
as to make II certain that he W
saw or heard of the country. We had
few long cruises then. and the navy
was very much out Of favor; and as
almost all Of this story IS traditional,
as I have explained, I do not know GER
talnly what his first cruise was. But
the commander to whom he was in

Shaw, though I think it was M Of

times. when the marines OF sailors had
