and modest Virginia colonel, and the great
events in the history Of the two worlds, IN
which these two great but dissimilar men took
leading parts. were then scarcely foreshadow-

have been allotted more important events in
their bearing upon the happiness ofthe world
than almost any other which has elapsed
since the creation. \ hundred years hence.
