68 THE SOUTHERN PLANTER. Messenger." It was for the last named periodical that he wrote his humorous "Letters of Moses Adams to Billy Evans of Hurdsville," which, under the guise of rustic simplicity, were filled with witty and caustic hits at people and events in Washington. After John R. Thompson resigned the editorial chair of the Southern Literary Messenger, Dr. Bagby became one of the associate editors and continued in this position until 1864, most of his best articles having been published in that paper. In 1868 he became editor of "The Native Virginian," published at Orange Court House, and from that time on he did a good deal of lecturing in a humorous vein. His most famous lectures were on "The Virginia Gentleman," "Bacon and Greens," and "The Disease Called Love." He also delivered a lecture on fools, the tickets for which bore the following inscription: "Fools, Admit One." Although Dr. Bagby was known chiefly as a humorist and writer of dialect stories, still he did not confine himself exclusively to this field, but essayed others, with very good success. He had, for instance, a vein of poetry in his nature, as. his very good poem, "The Empty Sleeve," will attest. The fact of his having found employment with a journal of so high a standard of excellence as "The Atlantic Monthly" suffices to show that he possessed talent of no mediocre order. Physically, he was a great sufferer, so much so that it is astonishing how he could have felt sufficiently cheerful and mirthful to have played the role of humorist. It was a, signal instance of the triumph of mind over matter. Fhysical suffering imparted to his countenance a melancholy cast at variance with the humorous bent of his mind. One who knew him well in private life says he was peculiarly kind and gentle to children, and that he was an ardent lover of his native State. Thomas Nelson Page says that his "Old Virginia Gentleman" is the most beautiful sketch of Southern life that has ever been published." Another of our prominent old humorists was Joseph G. Baldwin, author of "Flush Times in Alabama and Mississippi." He was a native of Virginia, but moved to Alabama, where he practiced law, and from there to California, where he died, after becoming eminent in his profession. He was a brilliant and origl nal writer, with a delightful vein of humor, strongly evinced in his book on "Flush Times in Alabama and Mississippi," dedicated to "The old folks at home—the people of the Valley of Virginia." This volume was published in 1853, and, within a year it had run into its seventh edition, which was something very remarkable and, indeed, I believe, unprecedented in those days.
