HoRACE MAINS LAST HoURs.--One Of
the professors ofAntioch college thus pictures
the glory Of the setting sun Of Horace Mann (;
81 was with him constantly during the last
SO hours of his life, and | must say that |
never saw the excellencies Of his character SO
fully revealed. All that was craggy, angular
and masculine, had already died, and what re-
manned was rich indeed. His real greatness
never shonc out more than in the death hour.
When he was told that he had but few hours
to i've, his brain flashed up with all the glow
of his best days, and he talked at least two
hours in a strain Of almost supermortal elo-
quence. The members of bis family, students
remaining here during the vacation, and many
Of his neighbors were called in at his request,
and he had for each some word Of warning or
cheer. IL was particularly noteworthy that
his remarks to each person has some specific
pertnancy of adaptation. His ideas, and the
language in which he clothed them, were real
ly grand, and amazed us all to silenco--nay
melted us all to tears. A signal sweetness
and tenderness pervaded every word. Not
often in ones life time docs one have the privi-
lege Of Witnessing so great scene. am fore
cd to confess that | never before appreciated
the soltness of the core that this masculine
heart contained"
To The Professor in the atlantic for
September, pertinently asks-"Can any man

are now doing, and how they are governed,
and what is the general condition of society,

der that steers its course p
