T, p (HE partnership of Barry and Adler, in teach-

‘Whe ing, was productive of many agreeable re-
4° * sults. In all essential qualities of body and
| mind, they were alike; good sense, good
temper, good manners, and good principles
they had in common. But still they differed, as good
people may differ; and it is likely the difference was
an advantage to both. Barry was more inclined to
out-of-door labour. He was what is called a practical
man. He had, withal, a great hilarity and a sanguine
temperament in regard to all his projects. He was
kind-hearted, but not prone to undue pity. There was
very little fancy or sentimentality in his character, and
much more prose than poetry. Carl was equally robust,
and more trained in gymnastic exercises, but his turn
was pensive and poetical. He often walked alone, at
sunset or in twilight, along the sounding beach. Such
poems as Beattie’s “ Minstrel” not only gained his at-
tention, but expressed his character. |
