QJe Conslitiitionanst. AUGUSTA, GA.: Sunday Morning, November 21, 1875. Eternity. Once in ten thousand years remove. Till all are borne away, A single grain from every beach, Whereon tho waters play; Then rest—ten thousand thousand years By millions multiply, And then the weary work begins To empty out the tide, By one small drop each thous .nd vears Until the whole be dry, From every stream to which the earth Affords a full supply; From all the Lays and lakes and seas, Till water’s nowhere found, And parching dryness withers up The desolated ground. Then rest—ten thousand thousand years By millions multiply. Till all the substance of the"earth To powdered dust is dry; Then bear away each thousand years, A particle so small, That eye cannot discern its size Till thou’st removed it all. In all this fearful lapse of time, Would it not seem to thee, That thou had’st measured out the length Of an Eternity? Yet when thou had’st with angels’ strength This mighty labor done, Its end would be as far as when Thy labor was begun. Eternity! Eternity! Great God Thou know f st alone The value of Eternity— Thine empire’s corner stone. My trembling soul, art thou amazed At this appalling view? Be comforted, in Christ there is Eternal mercy, too. C. B. A. PAUL MORPHY. The Recent Career of the Once World- Renowned Chess Player—Chiding Himself for Ingratitude, He Becomes a Hopeless Maniac. [New Orleans Correspondence of the Chi cago Times.] Fifteen years ago the name of Paul Morphy, the famous chess player, was as familiar as household words in al most every portion of the civilized world. He was a lion in his day, and no mistake, and for a young man—he was not over twenty then —he made considerable noise. For a twelvemonth he was a sensa tion, and then passed away from public notice and fame as suddenly as he had risen to those giddy heights. Among those who recollect THE BRILLIANT CAREER of the great chess king, there are very few who could tell you anything about his existence during the past ten years, or indeed, whether he lives or is dead. But it is safe to assume that the re vival of the subject here will prove a matter of much interest to thousands, for although Morphy dropped from the world’s view many months ago, he has not by any means been forgotten; and the very mention of his name, almost anywhere will suffice to awaken a cuiious desire to know what has become of him, and what has been his history since he resigned his crown in the histoiy of chess. With tne wonderful and dazzling career of Morphy in 1859 and 1860 all men are familiar. What led to it will be here recited. He was born in New Orleans, in 1840, of a Creole family, rich and respected. When a mere lad he evinced an appetite for chess, and in six months after playing his first game he developed into A MARVELOUS PLAYER. He not only beat his father and his teachers, but vanquished the best chess player in the city, and in three months more had so progressed that among the most skillful players at the game in New Orleans —and there were mauy good ones here—none could even approach him. At this time his fame had traveled not only to the North in his own country, but to Europe, and then his star began to rise until it became brightly conspicuous on two conti nents. “ His entrance upon the life of a public chess player was effected against the remonstrances of his parents and his kindred, who saw something igno ble in the public parade of young Morphy’s talents, and the cultivation of the notoriety which would neces sarily follow. But Paul was charmed at the prospect of becoming famous, and no argument could turn him from the course upon which he had set his soul. So he became great, but it will be hereinafter seen, that as the price of his fame was his family’s sorrow, it came home to him in after years, and made him a morbid, melancholy man. It has at last reduced him to A MENTAL WRECK, and he is now an inmate of a private asylum, where he has resided for the past three months, and where he will, perhaps, never emerge alive, as he is considered' to be hopelessly insane. When Morphy returned from Europe, in 1860, after his magnificent triumphs there, it was not as a conqueror that he came, but as a man who, having tasted the fruits of glory, has found them bitter in the end, and, disgusted with himself and mankind, resolves to eschew the world and its people for ever. This was Morphy’s condition of mind when he came back to his New Oi leans home, late in 1860, and then was seen the first gleam o/ his after sorrow, which reproached him for hav ing grieved his family, and which set tled upon and remained with him ever after. From the hour of his arrival here, lie declared that he had done with chess for the rest of his life, and he not only vowed never to play the game or look upon a chess-board more, but he expressly enjoined upon all who knew him to never allude to the sub ject of chess in his presence, save under pain of his severest displeasure. It came to be generally understood that he had thus set his face against what had once been his pride and am bition, because to its indulgence he charged not only a remorseful feeling at having crossed the wishes of his parents, but likewise the forfeiture of brilliant business prospects. At all events he despised chess as much as he had once loved it, and he steadfast ly refused to mingle in the world be yond the confines of his own kindred. Thus he lived a secluded and morbid existence here, until the outbreak of the late war, when, in company with several members of his family he went abroad. In 1866 he returned to New Orleans, and renewed his life here under the same conditions which had prevailed before his departure, save perhaps that he was more retired than ever. Still he was A CONSPICUOUS CHARACTER, although no one except his mother could lay claim to his friendship or his notice. His daily routine of existence involved a walk on Canal street every morning, where his dapper little figure —always scrupulously well dressed — became as well known and as regularly looked for as the noonday bell. After his daily promenade he retired from public gaze until evening, when he ap peared in his box at the opera, where, it is said, he never missed a night. It is further related that daring three years he permitted no friendly acquain tance; he was never known to associate with anybody but his mother, and per sistently repelled advances from those who, having been friends of his early youth, desired to renew their associa tions. He lived a strange life, a strange, moody and peculiarly mournful man. twelve months ago, he began to show the first positive symptoms of a break ing down of his mental faculties, and he soon manifested such ECCENTRICITIES OF DISPOSITION in public, that his mother began to be unhappily alarmed about him. This concern, as it proved, was not without w r arrant. He continued to man ifest increased symptoms of mental ab berration, and after vainly striving to battle with the inevitable, his mother sadly recognized the fact that her son was insane; and three months ago, as already cited in this article, he was placed in an asylum. It is a sad sequel to a history whose pages were once aglow with a world’s admiring plaudits, and there are many both in this country and in Europe who will invest the knowledge here con veyed with a tender interest, and with it revive the recollections of a man who, in his time, was famous far be yond the common lot of mortality.
