ation to the work, and he had his reward in the
wide and permanent success of his efforts. He

argo general views, firm grasp of prin-
ciples, and thorough sympathy with the
iglkest thoughts and tendencies of the

able qualities he may tread in his father's steps.

Not to vain laments and barren moralizing, but
to just honours, high remembrances, and -
that purify and ennoble. Stately
