vancins spirit oil the age-with that sp'rIt
which hath the faith 10 undertake great
things. To be sure, in so large body Of
men, there are some who are "behind the
age" as the expression goes-a few, we
lear, who might be fairly considered behind
any age. Ignorance, bigolry, and sell con
ceit, are qualities very apt TO be found IN
every large assemblase OF men. We have
never yet seen, read, or heard oil one en-
tireIy Tree from them, and never expect to
under the present order Of sublunary things.
But we are inclined TO think that our pres

numbered with persons notorious Tor these
qualities, and that II has strong claims to
rank as an able and enlightened body. II

was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, brothers and
sisters were seen looking with fearful eyes,

they espied some garment or little memento

perfectly frantic with grief.

of the immense loss Of life was tho impro-

by number of men who forced themselves
into the building. and besought the chill

the house was on fire, and that The walls
