still attempting to be the benefactor OF his
native land. Opinions changed, however,
and, as | told you, before he died, he was
the recipient of liberal pension, not only
from the city Of Lyons, but from the French
government. He died upon the property
which was conveyed 20 him, the grateful gift
of the people he had honored and elevated
and when he was carried TO bis tomb, The
city Of Lyons declared that his portrait
should be painted and hung up 10 the school
Of Arts where | have seen it. This IS an en-
couragement for all men not TO be deferred
from great undertaking by the ra sh and in-

the prejudices of time will pass away, and
that he who does honor and service to his
country, will be acknowledged as his couu.
