When the third toast was pronounced it was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheering; the lofty dome of
the Rotunda re-echoed back the sound it rolled in
hiilowy volumes around the spacious hall, and sunk
in the deep stiffness of enthusiasm.
The other toasts drank with the same
warmth. When Mr.. Jefferson's speech was read
the General was moved to tears; he graspcd the
hand of the venerable fiiendfwho penncd it, and
| sobbcd aloud. Oh. there is something magic and
contagious in the tears of great man of aCknow-
lodged hrmness; there is something awful IN that
power that breaks open the deep fountains of the
heart, until they overflow.
When Mr.. Madison was toasted, he rose to adj
dress us-iIs speech was lost us, but the toast is

dignity with which he presided, and the disinctmes
with which he enuncated every word and every
