GEORGE MEDDERS, . Kennedyville, Mel. "r ha"e nO other but" womon's renson."- fWD G~"II~me" of VUD!J" l,o! Genius number nine. Our hero has little idiosyncrasies peculiarly his 0"'11 ; as, for instance, he bathes in a basin or soup-plate. He is very msthetic and then he " elocutes.!' As a true artist. his ambition is to draw. He played the part of TIottom in lIfidsl/lIIlIIl!r Dream at a society anniversary, and in the scene with Tit(lnia acted so naturally audience confused the real and the ideal. We do not know as to the use or "Sister" paints. The results have all the weird and sombre splendor thnt can through the medium of rose madder and gamboge, and remind turpentine and the immortal D' Auber of the academy. Like others of his kind, but they sit 50 lightly on him that you are only a",u~ed, never disgusted. Georgie is the most un_ affectedly affected youth we know. Alrearly has he taken his horoscope and mapped out his career. He has prophesied that lie will be a great actor like Booth, and has devoted himself to preparation. His self-devotion is remarkable, and his path should be strewn with roses. But il1aS Icr the hopes of 111 the illustration yOll see him receiving a customary ovation from the entlmsiaatic spectators, who have COUle primed fo""''''''"''''''''''. Ohserve the eloquence and grace of that gesture-quite an a1"tful dor1ge, is it not? \VINFIlED POULSON Rounn'rs, Bal tiruore, .Mel. .. ) 8'" Sir Ornc\e. and whetL I ope11 my lips, ld!lo dogbRTk."-NcI"ck",,/ of Vmiu. A11 hail genius number tell! Behold a man with a fine conceit of hiuraelf', which is partly justified if we lake as the hasis of our argument the proposition, 'tAllruen are fools." Rut we will not tell you everything, as our hero is a tall mall and has a weight of his OWI1. However, our praise shall not go for naught. By no meaus : it is enough to say that W. P. is \V. P., and that is all he knows ill life and all he cares to know. It is his supreme pleasure to cut classes and lhen just before exams. tell the prof. how hard he studied allr\ how he sal up all night to read eight of Shakespeare's plays. His being so great a bluff accounts, doublless, for the steepness of this story. III this illustration he is represented as he was seen returning home at two o'clock A. M., having indulged in a strenuous" hie-kick ., which went to his head. - - 67 - -
