rarely travelled ie, that every man who trees them must
discover them for himself. They are like the undis•

none may exactly follow, though the goal may be
reached ea certainly by following an independent course.

ltmong the worthies whose names are destined to be
handed down to generations yet unborn, is that of the
late Lord Herbert, of Lea. It is a law of our nature
that in proportion as a man rises in the altitude of the
possible in moral and intellectual greatness, be ceases

become mete cosmopolitan in their character—without
ceasing to.bei local or sposial—hie Moto* are for the

The world knows him, not as belonging to a sect or
party, not as the representative of one idea, but as •

radiates, the representative of a faith lofty enough to
inspire the hearts 4 nations Such a man was Lord
Herbert. Hi,, Ooneervatism was no mere circumscribed
tenet which would not harmonise with other tenets ef
other names, his Liberalism was no pandering to the
pumices end appetites of men for the he of applause.
His political life was vital, regenerative, progremive.
His principles such as recommend themselves to the
practical intellect of the intelligent among the working
classes as welt as to those of more philosophic and
highly cultivated minds. It was hia desire that
England ehould advance to a still higher position .
amongst the free nations of the world than that which
a a preseatiy occupies. As Minister of War, be
laboured incessantly to promote the regeneration
of the &nay ; and it was his large-hearted sympathy
with the common soldier that induced him to effect
changes whereby his position might be intellectually,
physically, and morally improved. In private life he ,
exercised a hestelleent influence upon all around hito, '
perfuming.the atmosphere of duty in which he inured
by the fregrneee of arlife opulent with blessed deeds of
charity atill love. He doubtless had his short-comings
in some respects., like other men for he would he more

debar oa from admiring the good. Were such the case
hero-worship would cease, for we should have no heroes,

and If he, to whose memory and good deeds the noble
building at Bournemouth is about to be created, was not
in all things perfect, his life was a right useful and
noble one, and his name in every way worthy of being
held in lasting remembrance by so excellent a testi-
monial as that of the Herbert Convaleeoent Home.
The foundation stone was laid on Saturday, by his
son, the Marl of Pembroke, who delivered a brief but
touching address on the occasion. Mr. Sotheron
Estcoort, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Salisbury,
and several members of Parliament were present at the
ceremony and at a luncheon which followed it.
