man is one of the institutions of the country
an angel in dry goods and glory. She makes sun
shine, blue sky, Fourth of July and happiness
wherever she goes. Her path is one of delicious
roses, perfume and beauty. She is sweet poem,
written in rare eurls and choice calico. and good

admiration points to melt into and then but
ter. Her words float round the ear like music
birds OF Paradise, or the chimes OF Sabbath bells
Without her, society would lose its truest attrac-
ton, the church its frmcst reliance, and young
men the very best of comforts and company. Her
influence and generosity restrain the vicious,
strengthen the weak, raise the Io,vy fannei-shirt
the heathen, and strengthen the fainthearted-

down their knives and forks to stare at him. Pic
lures and busts give very feeble indication of
that which was most striking in his appearance;
they only give thescut not the play Of the feature;
nor are they very accurate even in mere form.-
The features were large, in fine sweeping lines
of Greek art The brow lofty and massive, from
beneath which shOne large lustrous brown eyes OF
marvellous beauty, their pupils being of almost
exampled size: the slightly aquiline was large
and finely cut; the mouth full, with short arched
upper lip. very expressive; the chin and jaw bold
ly proportioned and the head resting OH a fine mus
cular neek-details which are, after ALL but the in
vcntory of his appearance, and gave no clear i'm
age lit. In stature he rather the middle size
but although not really tall he had the aspect of
tall man. and is usually described because his
presence was very imposing. His frame was
strong, muscular, yet sensitive.-Le,oes' Memoirs.
