an itpistolary turn must find his ingenuity well

his suppression has but sharpened his wits
,and rendered him, more formidable than ever.
_AlthOugh but, recently discovered, it is hard to
sksy for how long a time this diabolical desire
for swindling the unwary has existed. Very
possibly, many.a "dodge”of minor calibre has
been invented and rift the length of its tether,

an evil that, might be peipetrated with 'less
"fear of detection. The mainspring of the pretty
seherne is not to impose on the benevolence
f und credulity of the • living, but to blast, and
; viehfy tbe character of the dead. To obliterate
from thelearts of those who were nearest and

shroud in which tender hands had enveloped
it, and show him to have lived and died a

wife, his "only darling," farewell;' and this

the case may be.
.
The process by, which the villainy in question
may be accomplished,ismuch moe: simple than
would at first appear. ~ ..The prime condition of
the impostor's success is that, he must reside atj.
, a, . long distance from those it is his intention to ,
dupe. The swindler lives in France or Ger
many, sometimes as far away as America. The
~ f irsti'move" is to look into the newspaper obit
nary notices for a likely victim. A gentleman
who dies y'oung, leaving a wife and a numerous

family to bemoan their bitter bereavement, is
% not uncommonly the case fixed on. It during

.tion in life, must have been, tolerably, well
known, so much the better. It is a woman who
;writes the letter., She writes of course to the
individual as though not in the least suspecting
that he is dead. The foll Owing genuine copy of
such a letter will, better than anything, illus
trate the cold, cruel, subtle villainy essential to
the success of the "dead man's laity," as, in the
profession, it is styled :

* Lord Byron liaS described _in: one of his
letters the impression left upon his mind by a
,young person whom he met one evening in
.society, and who attracted his attention by the
simplicity of her dress and a certain air of , sin
gular purity and cahnnesss with Which she sur

The result of Byron's intimacy with ,iMiss
Milbanke and the , enkindling of his nobler
feelings Wag offer of Marriage, which
sbe,though at the time deeply interested in him,
declined with Many expressions of friendship
and interest. In'faet, she already loved him,
but bad•tbatdoubt of her power to be to

would :be likely to arise in a Mind
so sensitively :constituted and so unworldly.
I', They, howeVer," continued a correspondence as

of base and unworthy :passions. !From', the
height at which he might have been happy as
the husband of a hoble wornan,•he fell into the ;
depths of a secret adulterous mtrigne with a
blood relation, so 'near in' consanguinity thOt
discovery must haVe been , utter ruin and ex

forth, this damning guilty , secret becathe the
ruling force in Ids life; holding him with a Mer
-1 bid fascination; yet filling' him with 'rernorse
and anguish, and insane dread of detection.
Two years after his refusal by Miss Milbanke,
his various : friends 'seeing that for some

been represented as the proper goal and

do ed their right: minds, to an honorable
caree • :society. Marriage was therefore uth-,
versall recommended to Lord Byron by his
numerous friends and well=wishers: and so he
determined to marry, and in an hour of teak
' les.4 desperOtion', sat down and wrote proposals
to tWoladies.„ One was declined. The other,
which WoS.aecented, :wos to Miss Milbanke.
Theworld knows well that he had the , gift of
expression, and; will, not be surprised that he
wrote a Very'beautiful letter, and that the Wo

at once into,the snare.

I He mentions with an air of complacency that
she hai employed the last two yeath in refusing
five or six of his acquaintance ;' that he had no,
idea she loved bile, adMitting that it was an
old attachment on his part ; lie dwells on her
virtues With-a- sort- of pride-, of ownership.
There is a .sort of- childish levity, aboth the
frankness of these letters, .very characteristic
of the man who skimmed over the deepest
ObysseS with the • lightest jests. Before the
world and to his intimates he, was acting the
part'of nsuccessful fiance, consciousall the
while of the deadly secret that lay cold at the,
bottom of his heart. When he went, to visit
Miss Milbanke's . parents, as her accepted
I,lover, she was struck with his manner and
appearance ; she saw • him . moody and
gloomy, • evidently wrestling with dark
..and desperate thoughts, and anything ' but
what a happy and accepted lover should- be.
She sought an interview with him alone, and
told him that she had observed that, lie was not

:added that, if On revieW, he found that he bad

angel in 'Wm.". It is.in us all. It was in this
r angel that she had-faith.' Ita,:was for the de
liverance of. this angel-from degradation and
shame and , sin' that she 'unceasingly prayed.
She read'every work 'that,' Byron wrote--read
it -with a deeper kmowledge than , any human
„being but ,herseLf could possess. The ribaldry
and the obkenity, and the insults with which
be strove to make lier ridiculous in the ;world,
'fell at her pitying feet unheeded. When he
broke away from all this unworthy to
vote himself to a 'manly' enterprise for the re
demption• of Greece, she thought that he saw
the ; beginning ofn answer to her prayers. Even
although one of his latest. acts concerning her
was to repeat to Lady Blessington the false ac
ettsationwhich inrule Lady Byron , the author
of alibis errors, she still had hopes, from the
one steplaken in the right 'direction. In the
midst of tliege hopes'eame the news;of his sud-

that be called his confidential English servant

followed 20 minutes of , indistinct mutterings,
in which the mums of his wife, daughter, and

Fletcher, " I =-.have , not understood

Byron, with a look of the utmost distress;
"what apity then it is too late—all is over!" ,
Tle afterward, says Moore, tried to utter a few
words, of 'which none were intellele except
"my ,sister --ray child." • When - etcher re
turned
to London, Lady Byron sent for him,
, and walked the room in convulsive struggles to
repress her tears and sobs, while she over and
• over aging strove to elicit something froth him
which should enlighten her upon what that,

For all that, Ladyßyron never' doubted his

that the author should state more specifimlly

About forty yearsago - twci blushing youths
- might be seen, with a small parcel between
them, entering the shop of f i ffingbata
'the, well-known' ,, Publisher the'ilioyal E
lebange, London. Alfred Tennyson was one,
and the other was young,Ze i tilmatt, son of the
Dean of Ifirestruinster,tiMSelta poet of con
• siderable reputation, and whose death only . oc
leurred a few,vveeks contained '
4 ,The mysterious
ipircel in' 'question containd' their collective
Ipoerus. These they wished Mr. Wilson to
c pultlWlnone.yolturne,,; , ,Ttlergr.',Yyas something
abotit these youthi that so Interested the
publisher that lee;consented. , '
When the work was about half through, the
Rev. Mr. Ali!man called upon Mr. Wilson, re
' fused to sanction the publication of his son's
poems in conjunction with those of his friend,
and paid the expense hitherto incurred. The
reason given by the aged poet was t that he did
not consider.young Tennyson's productions
worthy of• being incorporated with those'of his ,
son ; adding, that he: bad made._ arrangements
with his frlend t Mr. Xurray„toproiucgthernln . „
a vArytira.basinaft shape . ' 'l.3ihs:yonlrg;Miturani
who was really no.pdet'at rillVbliSielltb6- Inane
of making his first bow to the public In'company
with the most-pt:4pr!

as well add that array did publish young 3111-
main's vetses.and that was the last heard of him
.._.-Etringliani Wilson also 'bin.' rad s

much ,ridicule from the. trities,,more especially

Christopher North (the nom de phone of

Previously, however, to this volunte of Ten
nyson''s, published, by. Wilson in:1840, he had
years before made his 'apjkaranee, in print in
'conjunction, with brother Charles, ,whose
verses, by the way; were proncrunce(l' l by the
critics as superior, tO'Alfred'.s.
The indifferent reception •he hail met, with
prevented Tennyson, for; 7 some years, from
again venturin,g before the . public. Moxou
a volume,: then issued volue, which, amid . numerous
new poems, contained that most exquisite
thing, , The Two' Voices," one of- the yeti ,
finest productions of the model11i: muse:'
critics now were ()bilged to inhnit, that,: despite
his affectations; Alfred Tennyson was '.a great
'poet. 'And when, in .Ig42, , 3loson , pnblished a

Alfred Tennyson was born in 1809, in Som

children, three Orivlioni, Clharles, Septimus and

- Since his maxriage - which °maned somesix=,
