in every tracing cheeks hollow and wasted ~
if by dyspepsia; and no resources visible to
sustain the man at his present height of labor
and power, except the unconquerablc spirit of
rule, and an intellect which shines out In per-
vading lustrc through every lineament and
gesture. A prcmaturely gray haired, preRa-
turcly wrinkled mana chivalrous, high na-
ture, turned to bitterness by agOnies Of the
body, and the disappointment Of Chcriahed
hopes; a courteous, cultivated gentleman,
whose wit is raper, drawing blood wherever
