This was enoug . Bv her death this rolativo becamo sancti fied for the General’s heart. Earle becamo forthwith his protege . From that time forward the painter’s homo was under his roof—at Washington, in Tcnnetsoe, in the President’s house, as at tho Hcrmitago, where ho died before tho Genoral. And this treatment was amply repaid. Not, indeed, by the fidility of his brush, In tran smilting the General’s physiognomy to fire generaf,ons-for Earle, whatever ho might be in point of admiration for bis pro lector, was no Apipelles in ability. There was not a particle of genius or of artislical skilli n tho man. Bur there wot' thing better, an honest heart. Iflto brush was false, his soul was true. If ho could go on, na he did, year in and year out, painting tho General, and the General, and never anything but the Goncral, if the last of these repetitions was (as any one could have predicted it must neces sarily be from the very nature of tho mind alone capable of such mill-horse occupa tionj yet more destitute, if possible, than the first of a single flash oßhe light within, by which those rugged features wero ilum ined. One thing no one could doubt— his devotion was moro untiring even than his own brush; and its stoadinoss would have proved itself, at any moment the op-1 portunity might have offered, by cheerful ly laying down his life in his sorvico. If ho had a thousand lives, they would, I fool sure, have been so laid down, one after tho other, with the samo perseveranco that one canvass after another was lifted m his easel, there to keep its place till it had re ccived “the Genoral.” I find that one incident recalls another; and so a great number migth bo brought up in succession, could I spare time for '.ho purpose, luly 24,1853 BE FIRM IN YOUR PRINCIPLES.
