a little, associated no doubt with varied

tity and per.onal dignity of the Blind
Preacher" The yearning solicitude which
[ had just witnessed, of such father over
bis children, seen now for the first time
after the dreary blindness Of years, had
melted my feelings. My Imagination took
fight, and, passing rapidly through time,
was conducted by the incidents Of this day
to the resurrection morning; when the
saint Of God, throwing off the trammels Of
the tomb, with quickened vision and more
than mortal solicitude, looks around for
the children OF his pilgrimage

The commercial and manufacturing busi-

uncertain corporations and fancy stocks, at

Rosscau: Socrates died like philosopher
but Jesus Christ like Godv'
despair of giving you any idea of the
effect produced by this short sentence, un.
less you could perfectly conceive the whole
manner of the man, as we'll as the peculiar
crisis in the discourse. Never before did
l completely understand what Demosthe.
nes meant by laying such stress on delive.
ry. You are to bring before you the ven
erable figure of the preacher; his blindness
constantly recalling to your recollection
old Homer, Ossian, and Milton, and asso-
ciating with his performance the melan-
choly grandeur of their geniuses; you are
to imagine that you hear his slow, solemn,
well-accented enunciation, and bis voice Of
affecting, trembling melody; you are to
remember the pitch Of passion and enthu-
siasm to which the congregation we're
raised; and then the few moments Of por-
tentous, Gcath-like silence which reigncd
throughout the house the preacher, reno
wing his white handkerchief from his aged
face, (even yet wet from the recent torrent
Of his tears, and slowly stretching forth
the palsied hand which holds it, begins the
sentence, Socrates died like q philoso-
pher"-then pausing, raising his other
hand, pressing ;hem both, clasped togeth-
er, with warmth and energy to his breast,
lifting his "sightless holes" to heaven,
and pouring his whole soul into his trcm-
ulous voice" but Jesus Christ-ike a
Godw If he had been indeed and in
truth an angel Of light, the effect could
scarcely have been more divine. Whatev-
er had been able to conceive Of the sub.
Unity of Massillon, or the force of Bour.
dalonc, had fallen far short Of the power
which l felt from the delivery Of this siu-
pie sentence.
If this description gives you the impress
sion that this Incompatible minister had
any thing of shallow, theatrical trick in
his manner, it Goes him great injustice. l
have never seen in any other orator, such
union of simplicity and majesty. He
has not gesture, an attitude, or an accent,
to which he does not seem forced by the
sentiment he is expressing. His mind is
too serious, too earnest, too solicitous, and
at the same time too dignifed, to stoop to
artifce. Although as far removed from
ostentation as a man can be, yet it is clear,
from the train, the style, and substance of
his thoughts, that he is not only very
polite scholar, but man of extensive and
profound erudition. l was forcibly struck
with short, yet beautiful character which
he drew of Sir Robert Boyle he spoke Of
him as if his noble mind had, even be-
