ward text, and in his sermon assailed
those very sins for which the mon
arch was notorious, and he was stung
TO the quick, for truth always fndsa a
reposc in the worst mans c 1science.
He would not bend beneath the au-
thority of his God, but sent for Lati-
mer and said: Your life is in ieop-
ardy, if you do not recant all you
said to-day when you preach next
Sunday" The trimming counters
were all anXiousto know the conse-
quencos of this, and the chapel was
crowded. The venerable man took
his text, and after a pause, began
with a sohloquy thus: 7'7 aa atlT'ia
"Now, Hugh Latimer, betliink
thee, thou&artin the presence of thy
earthly monarch-thy life is in his
hands, and if thou dost not suit his
fancies, he will bring down thy gray
hairs to the grave; but Hugh Lati-
mer, bethnk thee, thon art in the
presence of the King of Kings, and
Lord OF Lords, who hath told thee,
'Fear not them that kill the body,
and can do no more; but rather fear
HIM who can kill both body and soul
and cast thee into he'll forever!' Yea,
| say, Hugh Latimer, fear him." hba
He then,went on, and not only re-
peated what he had before advanced,
but, ifrossi5!e, enforced it with great
er emphasis. After he had finished,
Henry sent for him and said: How
burst thou insult thy monarch so2''
Latimer replied, 81 thought ifIwere

j was at Yale in lS04--5 and 6,
and thi k it was in 1905 that John
. Calhoun took the degrees of Bach
elor of Arts.
Calhoun even at that tir was
looked upon by his fellow students
as an extraordinary young man. Tn
his classical studies and attainments
ne was not so very superior to some
OF his mates; but in general literature,
and in those studies relating to poll
tics he was unrivalled. / do not
now speak of party politics as tits
too often understood and practised i'm
these days, but of that kind of poll
cy and politics which teaches one
how to promote the good, avert the
evils incident TO nations.
In this science Calhoun had MO
competitor
At that period, our ideas of memA
bers of Congress were more exalted
than at present, and they were pre-.
sented to us with gray hairs and se-
date 1ignifled faces, and not unfre-
qnently with powdered heads. They
were not SO numerous as they haye
since become.
On one occasion, Calhoun was
found by familiar friend, long SINCE
dead, poring over Malthus, while at
his elbow lay Smiths Wealth of Ma
tons.
"Why," said his friend, @why Cal

The declaration, though excited a.
smile of inctednhty on the lips Of hisp
friend, was more, than fulfilled, for.I
believe IN about eight years after
wards he was eioquently SUSTAINING
his county IN the then war with
Great Britain. li isgig iSF ei3lt
