At the table he always -created infinite mirth. I often met him on the -Battery, (with his pockets filled with stale -Graham bread,) and at Mercer’s Dining Saloon, -at the corner of Ann and Nassau, and on the -steps of the Astor, and while rapidly promenading -Broadway, with his eyes riveted on the -ground. I also saw him every Sabbath in -front of Dr. Taylor’s Grace Church, at the -corner of Rector street and Broadway, where -he used to await the arrival of Miss Jones, -and almost stare her into fits, and to whom he -addressed such lines as these through the public -journals:</p> - -<div class='lg-container-b c000'> - <div class='linegroup'> - <div class='group'> - <div class='line'>Her form’s elastic as a willow tree,</div> - <div class='line'>Glorious in motion, when the winds are free:</div> - <div class='line'>She moves with timid dignity and grace,</div> - <div class='line'>While thought is thrilling through her sweet young face.</div> - </div> - </div> -</div> - -<p class='c008'>In his last days, he often came to the Graham -House, and Goss was very kind to him, and -did not charge him for his meals. He called -on Sunday morning, when all were at church -save myself. I was ill, in the rocking chair, -and for an hour he amused me with his incoherent -flights of eloquence, and the recitation -of his choicest poetry. He came several times -during the week. On a stormy evening, while -I was seated by the stove, he rushed in and -took a seat beside me, and wept aloud, and -spoke of his intense affection for Miss Jones, -(the daughter of the wealthy Banker, and President -of the Chemical Bank,) whom he supposed -was ardently in love with him. He -said that he had been twice invited to her -parties, but that on ringing the bell, he was -twice ejected by the servant. The cards of -invitation were forgeries, but those who imposed -on McDonald, assured him that they -were genuine, and were written by Miss Jones. -I strove in vain to disabuse McDonald’s mind, -who said he should make the third attempt -the following week, and, if possible, he would -have an interview with the precious object of -his affection. On the afternoon of the following -Sunday, he came to the Graham House, -and violently rang the bell, and dashed into -the parlor, greatly excited, and took a seat on -the sofa, where I was reclining, and exclaimed: -“Why, Branch, people call me crazy. -But you don’t think I’m crazy, do you, Branch? -I know you don’t. You love me, don’t you, -Branch? I know you do. Heigh ho! I’m not -long for this world. I’m going to Heaven in -a few days, where I shall fare better than -among the unkind people of this world. Yes, -I rambled through Greenwood, last week, by -the Silver Lake, and selected the lovely and -romantic spot where my poor bones will soon -repose and wither. (His tears now began to -fall like summer rain.) And there will be the -sacred bells, and the Grace Church exercises, -conducted by the pure and eloquent Dr. Taylor, -and the mournful music, and solemn procession, -and the Sexton’s dreary hearse and -spade, and the pale white monument. And -those who now deny me bread, and call me -crazy, and trifle with my affections, will then -sadly miss me, and my beautiful poetry, and -lament my melancholy fate. And they will -come and stand before my monument in -Greenwood’s Silver Dell, and weep, and profoundly -regret that they always neglected poor -McDonald Clarke. Yes, Branch, I see my -snowy monument by the Silver Lake, and I -shall soon be there. O God! Yes, I shall too -soon be in that dismal vale. But you will -come and see me, won’t you, Branch? I know -you will. I know you will, O God! O God! -My destiny is very hard.” And he buried his -face with both hands, and cried with all the -simplicity of childhood, and I strove to restrain -my tears, lest he would not cease his -lamentation, if he saw my eyes moistened with -nature’s sympathising waters. And I breathed -kind words into his lacerated heart, and he -leaned his head upon my shoulder, and was -silent for some minutes, when he sprang to -his feet, and said he would like a bath, and -went to the bathing room. In half an hour, -he returned, went to the tea table, ate sparingly, -came into the parlor, went to the window, -and knelt and prayed in whisper tones. -The clouds had suddenly dispersed, and the -moon was full, whose soft rays rested on the -sad face of McDonald. He then got the Bible, -and read a chapter, and was absorbed in a -second prayer, just above a whisper, when a -transient boarder (from Boston) entered the -parlor, and sat on the sofa, and began a spirited -conversation with a friend who had long been -waiting for him. McDonald, while engaged -in prayer, in a kneeling posture, sprang to his -feet, and rushed towards the two gentlemen -in lively conversation on the sofa, and told -them that if they did not cease to laugh, and -talk so loudly, he would smite them on the -spot. They were amazed and terrified, and -dared not speak. McDonald then rapidly -paced the parlor, and exclaimed: “I am only -40 years old, with nearly half the period -often allotted to man yet to run, and I am -near my journey’s close.” And then, with a -sudden halt in the centre of the parlor, he -again riveted his wild eyes on the gentlemen -seated on the sofa, who had excited his ire, and -stamped, and most violently exclaimed: “How -dare you talk and laugh in God’s holy hour? -This is the all-glorious Sabbath, and it is sacrilege -to talk and laugh beyond a whisper. -Do it again, and as sure as my name is McDonald -Clarke, I will paralyse you where you -sit. Silence, I say, (stamping,) silence!” -The two gentlemen then arose, and left the -parlor, in pursuit of Mr. Goss, and McDonald -went to the window, and delivered a -glowing apostrophe to the moon and stars, -and asked me to play sacred music on the -piano, which I did, and he strove to sing, but -his voice was severely weakened, and nearly -lost, by his nervous excitement, and through -his severe anathema of the two gentlemen -who had just left the parlor. As I played, he -stood beside me, and hummed and beat time -with his hands. I closed the piano, and he -went to the window, and prayed again, and -breathed the most eloquent and touching soliloquy -I ever heard. Such melting pathos and -purity of language never flowed from human -lips. He rose to the highest inspiration in -his allusion to his departed mother, and his -anticipated joy at his early reunion with her -in Heaven. I have always regretted that I -had no pencil and paper on this sad occasion, -so that I could have preserved his supernatural -soliloquies, which impressed me with -the profoundest solemnity. Mr. Goss now -came into the parlor, and asked McDonald -where he boarded, and he said he had no -home. Goss then asked him if he had any -friends. He said that James Gordon Bennett -was his friend, and had been kind and generous -towards him, and had given him money -and apparel, and published his poetry in the -<cite>Herald</cite>. He also said that he ate, and sometimes -slept, at a Dentist’s in Park Place, and -that he would now go there. I asked him if -I should accompany him, and he warmly -thanked me, and he put on his cloak and cap, -and very carefully adjusted his large red comforter -around his neck, and took my arm, -and I accompanied him to the residence of his -dentist friend in Park Place. I rang the bell, -and the servant came, and said the dentist -was out, and McDonald then shook my hand, -and bade me an affectionate good night, and -walked in and closed the door, which was my -last communion with poor McDonald -Clarke. I called the next day, and the servant -told me that McDonald left in half an -<span class='pageno' id='Page_2'>2</span>hour after my departure on the previous night, -and had not returned. I went in pursuit of -him, but could not find him. The next I -heard of him was through the newspapers, -which stated that he was found at midnight, -by a Policeman, in Broadway, near St. Paul’s -Church, in a terrible storm, and in a state of -raving insanity, with his apparel partially -gone,—that he was conveyed to the Tombs,—that -neither the Policemen nor any of the -officers at the Tombs knew McDonald, nor -was he sane enough to disclose his name,—that -on going to feed him in the morning, his -place of confinement was partially filled with -icy water, (in which he was bathing himself,) -which had been running all night, and which -gave him a chill of death,—that he was -finally recognised by one of the Tombs’ officers, -and conveyed to the Alms House Hospital, -where he soon died. I called to see him -before he died, but he did not know me. His -reason entirely returned just prior to his -death, when he called for a custard, (of which -he was always extremely fond,) and he ate a -little, and said he was glad his hour had come, -as he was tired of earth. He bade his nurse -an affectionate farewell, and died without a -contortion or a moan. His sudden and pauper -death produced great excitement, and the -newspapers severely lashed his murderers, -who strove to make him think that Miss Jones -loved him dearly, and had invited him to her -aristocratic parties. But the names of the -villains were not published, (as they should -have been,) because they belonged to the -upper circles. Some kind friends erected a -monument to his memory, on the very spot -McDonald had selected, by the Silver Lake -in Greenwood, for which they received much -praise. And thus closes my sad allusion to -poor McDonald Clarke.</p> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c009'> - <div>(To be continued to my last sun.)</div> - </div> -</div> - -<div class='figcenter id002'> -<img src='images/curlyline.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' /> -</div> - -<div class='chapter'> - <h2 id='melodious' class='c006'>A Melodious Fragment!</h2> -</div> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c010'> - <div>TO ALL WHO LOVE ENTRANCING MUSIC.</div> - </div> -</div> - -<p class='c011'><span class='sc'>Reader</span>:—Did you ever behold the tumultuous -excitement of the populace at a Race -Course, as the furious steeds neared the judge’s -stand on the last heat?
