Biographical.
From Oic Home Journal.
John Banim, the Irish novelist
(Conclusion.')
In the same spirit of modest self-reliance
with which, as a child, he had called upon the
poet Moore, he now introduced himself to
Anne's father, and requested hia consent to
their betrothal. It was refused, rudely, in
sultingly, and he was forbidden to hold any
further communication with her. But to this
he would not submit. Anne lored him.
He would write to her. He would see her.
Notes were transmitted iu hia sister's school
basket, and disguised as a country woman, in
long gray cloak and full hood he would steal
close to her side, as she returned on Sunday
evenings from church. Believing that absence
would cure her cf her "girlish folly," her
father arranged to have her secretly removed
from BcIiCOl, nd placed iu tho house of one
of her mothr's faiuilj Banim discovered
the day and hour at which she was to leave,
and the rout sho was to travel. The chaise
"child is father of the man," and because
from it the reader can easily anticipate his
after fate. Such precocity of intellect, and
premature intensity of feeling, has generally
one of two. results an early death or a long
life of suffering. The latter was Banim's lot;
but there was a brief period of sunshine be
fore the clouds closed in around him. When
after a protracted illness, during which his
brother nursed him with devoted affection,
returning health. brought returning energy,
he removed to Dublin, resigned his profes
sion of artist, and devoted himself to literary
pursuits.. Here he continued several years,
contributing to periodicals, writing plays, and
publishing poems, . with moderate success.
At the age of twenty-four, he married,and
went to Loudon, to seek his fortune ; against
his brother's remonstrances, but cot less 'con
fident in his own ability to maiutain himself
than when, at ten years of age, he was ready
to commence life with a eixpenco. lie had
no letters of introduction, no friends in Lon
don, and little money; but he took lodgings,
bought a Times newspaper, and read the ad
vertisements, lie saw a new periodical ad
vertised, wrote to the proprietors, enclosing

ety of the men of letters to which that sue
cess has introduced him. Of one of these
our own Washington Irving he writes at
this period ; "I have had opportunities of
coming into close contact with Goeffry Cray
on ; he is as natural as his sketches a man
icho would play with a child on the carpet
and one of the few litaratcurs I have known
whose face and character are iu sincere kee
ping with his tilents."
Another great source of happiness to one
so kind-hearted, was the ability to aid others
less successful than himself. One of these,
Gerald G Tiffin, the wayward child of genius,
writos of him at this time : "What would
I have dene if I had not found Baniai 1 I
should never be tired of talking about and
thinking of Banim. Mark me ! he is a man
the only one I have met since I have left
old Ireland almost." One thing only seems
wanting to his happiness that his family
might be with him that they might "club
their means and live together in one big
house ;" that he might see his sister and wife
"working aad reading together, and his dear
dear mother sitting in the arm-chair, and
all the time writing such cheery letters home,
that Michael, on a visit to London, was sur-
prised to find his brother looking forty, tho
as yet but twenty-eight his hair grizzled,
his face wrinkled, his limbs so weak that he
feared he would fall in the streets as they
walked together. The story of his long years
of toil and suffering is too sad a one to dwell
upon. Much sympathy was excited for him,'
and a subscription was at length raised to de
fray his expenses in Paris, that he might ob
tain the aid of the distinguished physicians'
there. While in Paris, he received the ti
dings of the death of his mother. He had
heard of her illness previously, and at the
sight of tho eolor of the wax of the letter from
home, he' fell to the ground, unable to open
it, and, in his paroxysm of grief, asserted
that he "had never known sorrow before."
The French physicians pronounced his"
case incurable. His heart now yearned for
home, and his brother wrote to him to return
In reply, he sent a few touching lines, enti
tled, "The call from Home." The conclu
ding ones are ;
"Brother, I come ; you summon, and I come;
From love like yours I never more will roam. .
Yours is the call from brother and from home.
"From the world's glare and struggle, loving
some,
And hating none ; to share my mother's tomb.
Hoping to share her bliss, brother I come."
A cottage had been prepared for him iu the
neighborhood of Dublin. It was surrounded
by green SelJs, and had a glimpse from its
windows of the "crystal Xore winding thro
a beautiful valley.-" Here he lived seven
years, suppoi tad by a pension from the queen
a great sufferer, and a hopeless paralytic,
yet cheerful in his short intervals of case,
and cheered by the devoted affection of his
wife and daughter, by kind attentions from
friends, and honors from distinguished coun
trymen and strangers. He died at the ago
of forty-four. His last request was, "Bury
me so that I may lie nearest to my mother,
with my left side next her."

He rose early the following morning ; it was

and a gloom was upon the sky and the earth.
Banim left his home, wishing once more to
look upon the victim who .had been so dear
in life, but who now, in death, was dearer
than ever. He was too poor to hire a chaise;
he borrowed a horse, but he could not enduue
the slow, steady pace of the animal, and,
when about a mile from Kilkenny, sent it
back by a country child, and continueed his

This correspondent had directed a letter to
