humane sympathics and generous impulses,
ever ready TO promote the public veal or
obey the dictates of an transformations char
ity. lie was Il man Of ~unbounded personal
popularity, but his modcsty and love Of re
tircmcnt caused him always 10 resist the
opportunities, not Of his friends only, but
of the pub lie, 10 accept official honors un-
Ill the last year, when he MAS without OPP
position, and by IN unanimous vote, elected
to the State Senate. He Was one of those
whose virtues prcdominatcd so strongly as
Ia divert the attention from his defects or

and attractive proportions at the furmcr.--

FOURTH Of MARcm-WHY SELECTED I
DO our readers generally know the rea-
son why the Fourth OF March was chosen
AS the day for the Inauguration of tie
President Of the United Statesi II was
selected because the fourth Of March in
every year commencing from the first in
augorauon, cannot come on n Sunday for
at least three hundred or more years.
This fact shows lie regard which the
trainers Of our government had for The
Sabbath. They arraLgcJ the matter so
wisely that the day for the performance
OF the Of Inauguration, will not
fall on a Sunday for three hundred years.
