The Otsego Herald's motto of that time was Historic truth our Herald shall proclaim, The Law our guide, the public good our aim. In its issue of October 2, 1795, appeared the celebrated diplomat's Acrostic. Aimable philosophe au printemps de son âge, Ni les temps, ni les lieus n'altèrent son esprit; Ne cèdent qu'
A work of art is nothing if not artful: like an acrostic, the more different ways it can be read up, down, across, from right to left and from left to right the better it is, other things being equal.
Then, anxious to complete the conciliation of the old snuff-and-pepper-box, as he mentally christened him for his next acrostic, he added: "If there is anything in this manuscript that you cannot decipher or understand, a letter to me, care of Reb Shemuel, will always find me. Somehow I have a special genius for filling up lacunae in manuscripts.
What does man love most below?" he put on a droll face, and answered "His pipe." "O Uncle James, that's too bad," cried Sydney. "If Jock had made this acrostic, it might be pipe," said Babie; "but this is Armine's." It was thereupon handed to the elders, who read, in a boyish hand- writing
They are the right answers to the questions which have been perplexing us the correct solutions to the problems over which we have been puzzling our brains. So it was with Elisabeth: Christopher was the correct answer to life's current acrostic; and as long as she was with Christopher she was content.
No love-poems or mild tales of gallantry, as you might expect from their alleged fascinating traits, but, instead, an almost unvaried production of dreary and dull funeral, execution, wedding, election, and baptismal sermons, and of psalm-books, with here and there a "two penny jeering gigge," or perhaps an anagram or acrostic or "pindarick," on some virtuous citizen or industrious dame, recently deceased.
Rare, therefore, the old chess and acrostic evenings and most keenly anticipated, accordingly, this the first for a fortnight on the eve of New Year's Eve. It was to have been a real long evening; but it proved not very long.
"Well, now, you would all like to know what this talk is for. I want every boy in school who can write, to bring an acrostic on his own name for his next composition." The boys groaned, and exclaimed, "They couldn't do it, they were sure; they couldn't begin to do it!" "Yes, you can," said Mr. Burrows; "I don't give my scholars any work that they can't do.
How can you work towards a purpose if you don't know what it is?" Then little old Mr. Fargus would grow intense. "Why, Sabre, that's just where you are with an acrostic or in chess. How can you work out the solution when you don't know what the solution is?" "Yes, but you know there is a solution." Mr. Fargus's eyes would shine. "Well, there you are! And you know that in life there is a purpose."
'I've got a little trifle here, now, said Mr Slum, taking off his hat which was full of scraps of paper, 'a little trifle here, thrown off in the heat of the moment, which I should say was exactly the thing you wanted to set this place on fire with. It's an acrostic the name at this moment is Warren, and the idea's a convertible one, and a positive inspiration for Jarley. Have the acrostic.
