NIL NIBI BONUM .
BY W. M. THACKERAY.
Almost the last words which Sir Wal-
tcr spoke to Lockhnrt, his biographer,
were, “ Be a good man, my flour 1" and
with the lust flicker of breath on his dy-
ing lips, he sighed a. farewell to his family
and passed away blessing them.
Two men, famous, admired, beloved,
have just left us, the Goldsmith and the
Gibbon of our time. Ere a few weeks
are over, many a‘critic’s pen will be at
work, rcvicwmg,r their lives and passing
judgment on their works. This is no ro-
viow, or history, or criticism; only a
word in testimony of respect and regard
from a man of letters, who owes to his
professional labor the honor of becoming
acquainted with these two eminent lite-
rary men. One was the first embassador
whom the New World of Letters sent. to
the Old. He was born almost. with the
republic; the pater pat-rim bud laid his
hand on the child’s head. He bore
Washington’s nume : he came among us
bringing the kindest sympathy, the most
nrtlcss, smiling good-will. His new coun-
try (wliicn some people here might be
disposed to regard rather superciliously)
could send us, as he showed in his own
person, a gentleman, - who though him-
self born in no very high sphere, was
most linished,polished,oasy, witty, quiet ;
uud,sociully,tlio equal of the most refined
Europeans. 1f Irving’s welcome in-
Englund was a kind one, was it not also
gratefully remembered? 1f'hc ate our
suit, did he not pay us with u thankful
heart? Who cuu calculate the amount
of friendliness and good feeling for our
country which this .writer’s generous and
until-lug regard for us disseminated in
his own? His books are read by mil-
lions of his countrymen, whom he has
taught to love England; and why to
love her? It would have been easy to
speak otherwise than he did to inflame no.
tional rancors, which, at the time when
he first become known as a public writer
war had just renewed ; to cry down the
old civilizution at the expense of the new;
to point out our faults arrogance, shorb
comings, and give tho republic to infer
how much she was the parent state‘s an.
perior. There are writers enough in the
United Statenllonest sud otherwise, who
preach that kind of" doctrine. But the
good Irving, the psacefnl, tho friendly,‘
had no place for bitterness in his heart,
and no scheme but kindness. Received
in England with extraordinary tenderness
and friendship (Scott, Southey, Byron, a
hundred others have borne witness to
their liking for him), he was a messen-
ger of good-will and peace between his
country and ours. “See, friends l”-hc
seems to say, " those English are not so
wicked, rnpucious, callous proud as you
have been tunght to believe them 1
went among them a humble nun ; won
my way by my pen ; and, when known,
found every hand held out to me with
kindlincss and welcome. Scott is a great
man, you acknowledge. Did not Scott’s
king of England give a gold medal to
him, and another to me, your country-
~ man, and a stranger ?”
Tradition in the United States still
fondly retains tho history of the feasts
and l‘ejoicings which awaited Irving on
his return to his native country from
Europe. He had it national welcome;
he stummcrcd by his speeches, hid himself
in confusion, and thcpcople loved him all
the better. He had worlhily represent-
ed America in Europe. In that young
community a man who brings home with
him abundant European testimonials is
still treated with res set (I lun'e found
Amcriccn writers of widevworld reputa-
tution strangely solicitous about the opiu-
ious of quite obscure British critics, and
eluted or depressed by their judgments);
and Irving went home niodaled by the
king, diplomatized by the university,
crowned, and admired. He had not in
any away intrigued for his ho crs, he
,hcd fairly won them; and, in rving’s
.goodness, probity, and pure life.
instance, as in others, the old country
was glad and eager to pay them.
In America the love and regard for
Irving was a national sentiment. l’nrty
wursure perpetually raging there, and
”are carried on by the press with a runcor
and flercencss against. individuals which
exceed British—almost Irish virulence.
It seemed to me, during a yéal’s travel
in the country, as if no one ever aimed u.
blow at Irving. All men held their hand
from that harmless, friendly penccmukcr.
1 had the good fortune/to See him at
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
Wnsliiugton,* ,nnd remarked how in cw-
I'y pluce he was honored and welcbmetl.
Every large city has its “ Irving House.”
The country takes pride in the fame of
its turn of letters. The gutc of his own
charming little domain on the beautiful
Hudson River was forever swinging be-
f re visitors who came to see him. He shut.
out no cool 1 had seen many pictures
of his house, and read descriptions of it,
in both of which it was treated with a
not unusual American exaggeration. It
was but a pretty little cabin of a place ;
the gentleman of the press who took notes
of the place while his kind old host was
sleeping, might; have visited the whole
house in a couple of minutes.’
And how come it that this house was
so small, when Mr. Irving’s books were
sold by hundreds of thousands, nay mil-
lions, when his profits were known to be
large, and the habits of life of the good
old bachelor u ere notoriously modest and,
simple? He had loved once in his life.
The lady he loved died; and he,whom all
the world loved ncvcr sought to replace
her. I can’t say how much the thought
of that fidelity has touched me. Does
not the very checrfulncss of his after-life
odd to the pathos of that untold story ?
To grieve always was not in his nature ;
or, when he had his sorrow, to bring all
the world in to condcle with him and be-
moan it. Deep and quiet he lays the
love of heart, and buries it; and grass
and flowers grow over the scarred ground
in due time.
Irving had such a small house and such

he was a. father. He had as many as
nine nieces, I am told—I siw two of
thcse Indies at his house—with all of
whom the dear old man bud shard the
produce of his labor and genius.
” Be a good man my dear.” - One can’t
but think of these last words of the vet-
eran Chief of Letters, who had tasted
and tested the value of worldly success,
admiration, prosperity. Was Irving not
good, and. of his works, was not his life
the best part 'f In hissfamily, gentle,
generous, good-homered, affectionate, self-
dcnying; in society,a delightful example of
complete gentlemnnbood ; quite unspoiled
byprospcrity ;never obseqnious to tbcgreat
(or, worse still, to the base and menu, as
some public men are forced to be in his
and other countries); eager to acknowl-
edge every contemporary’s merit ; always
kind nfl‘uble with the young members of
his cowig ; in his professional bargains
mercu Ilc dealings, delicately honest and
grateful ; one of the most charming mus-
tels of‘our lighter language ; the constant
friend to us and our nation ; to men of
letters doubly dcnr, not for his wit. and
genius merely, but as an exemplar of
I don’t
know what sort of testimonial will be
raised to him in his own country, where
generous and enthusiastic acknowledg—
ment of American merit is never want-
ing : but. Irving was in our service as well
as theirs; and us they have placed a
stone at Greenwich yond in memory of
that gallant young Belbwhc shared
the perils and fate of com of our Arctic
seamen. I would like to hear of some
memorial raised by English writers and
friends of letters in. affectionate remem-
bruncc of the dear and good Washington
Irving.
As for the other writer, whose depar-
ture many friends, some few most dcurly-
lovcd relatives and multitudes of admir-
ing readers deplore, our republic has al-
ready decreed his statue, and he must
have known that he had earned this
posthumous honor. He is not a poet.
and man of letters merely, but. citizen,
statesman, c. grout. British worthy. A!-
most from the first moment when be up-
peurs among boys, among men, he is
marked, and takes rank as a great Eng-
lishman. All sorts of successes are easy
to him : as a lad he goes down into the
arena, with others, and wins all the prizes
to which he has a. mind. A place in the
senate is struightway offered to the young;
mun. He takes his sent them : hc Speaks
when so minded, without party faith and
a sort of heroic enthusiasm forltis cause.
Still he is poet and philosopher even more
than orator. That. he may have leisure
and means to pursue his darling studies,
be ubscnts himself for a while, and ac-
cspts o richly-remunerated post in the
Exist. As learned a mun may live in u
cottage common-room ; but it always
seemed to me that umple means and re-
cognizcd rank were Macauluy’s as of
right. Yours ago there was a wretched
outcry raised because Mr. Macaulay da-
ted a letter from Windsor Castle, whore
he was staying. Immortal gods l Was
this man not a fit guest for any palace

man or woman in it? I dare shy, uf'icr
Austerlitz, the old K. K. court otiiciuls
uud footmen sneered at Napoleon for do:
ting from Schoenbrunn. But that this-
ernblc “Windsor Castle” outcry is an
echo out of fact-retreating old-world rc-
mcugbl'uuces. The place of such a natur-
ul chief was among the first. of't'he land ;
and that country is best according to our
British notion, at least, where the mu u of
eminence has the best chance of investing
his genius and intellect.
If u company of giants were got. togeth-
er, very likely one or two of the mere six-
fcet-s‘ix people might be angry at the in-
coutestable superiority of the very tallest

of the party ; and so I have heard some
' 4
London Wits,rathc1‘ pccvisli of Macau-
lny’s superiority, complain that he occu-
pied too much of the talk, and so forth
.1\ow that womlcrfnl tongue is to spchk
no more,will not many :1. icon yricvc that
he no longer has the chance to listen?
To remember the talk is to wonder : to
think not only of the treasurers llC llilll
in his memory, but of the trifles he bud
stored there, and could produce with
equal readiness. Almost on the lustduy
fluid the fortune to sec him, a convex-sh.
tiou. happened suddenly to Spring up
about senior wrangler-s, and “but thcy
had done in after-life. To the :lllllOSLl
terror of the persons present, Macaulay
begun with the senior wrangler of"
1801—2—3—4, and so on giving the
name of each, and relating his subsequent
career and rise. EVcry man who has
known him has his story regarding that
astonishing memory. It; may be he was
not ill-pleased thntyou should recognize
it; but to those prodigious intellectual
feats, which were so easy to him, who
would grudge his tribute of homage?
His talk was, in a. word, admirable, find
we admired it.
Of the notices which have appeared
regarding Lord Macaulay, up to the day
when the present lines are written (the
9th of January), the render should not
deny himself the pleasure of looking cs-
pccially at two. It is a good sign of the
timcs when such articles as these (I mean
the urticlcs in the Times and Saturday
Review) appear in our public prints about
our public men. They educate us, as it
were, to admire rightly. An uninstruct-
ed person in a museum or at n. concert
may pass by without recognizing a. pic—
ture or a passage of music, which the
connoisseur by his side may show him is
u muster-piece of harmony, or a wonder
of artistic skill. After reading these
papers you like and respect more the
person you have admired so much already
And so with regard to Mucuiilay’s style

John Brown Matters at Washington.
The Investigating Committee were ex-
ceedingly careful to keep Judge Arny
within the exact limit of the matters
which the]; desired to investigate. The
N. Y. Herald correspondent says that if
Army had not been stopped.
“ He would have shown that Brown
was twenty—five miles fl‘Oll) Pottawatomic
on the night that Wilkinson, the Doyles c
Slict'mun were killed. Ho says Brown
told him that he was not with the party,
but that it was a. righteous deed. One of
the party also told him Brown Was not
there, but, was camped on Middle Creek.
Another witness says he saw Brown the
next morning, so for from Pott iwstomic
that. it was llfl possible for him to have been
a party to the killing. Amy would have
testified that previous to the destruction
of the property of free-stutemen nt Low~
mum», on the 213i: of May, 1856, not. a.
single pro-sluvcry man had been killed ;
that up to that date the free 'statemen
had acted wholly on the defensive ; that
on the mm'ning of the 22d of May, 1856
when the free state than of Lawrence
stood in sight of the smoking ruins of
their burned buildings, a messenger ar-
rivrd from 1’ottuwatomic creek with m -
ticc to them that if they did not leave
