Wilde is so extensively and advan, tage ously krown m the country as a ripe scholar, able lawyer, instructive author and statesman, that it would be a work of supererrogaton on our part to dwell on his career. Besides his eminent scholarship, und charming eIo, quence, he was universally esteemed tor his private virtues, high sense of honor, and singular amiableuess of dis position. In the language of Burke, what shadows we are, and what shad- ows we pursue" But a few days since, the gifted, the amiable, but now lament ed Wilde, could be seen in our streets ard halls Of justice in the enjoyment of robust health; hic fine person, manly features, winning countenance, and flow
