HENRY A, We JR. preached in this city on ass
Sunday night, on the text "Give US this day oar

Prayer was for material comforts he dsdueed the
doctrine Of special providences theresrom, and
coatended that they had been manifest in this wsr
from the moment the Star of tho West turned her
prov from cut Of Charleston Hsrbor until now. He
predicted an ultimate and glorious triumph for
our cause. His manner seems affected st first. His
/ body rises and falls, as if he were writing
or lquirminQ; his lead is thrown back
and his chin out; and he uses his
/ handkerchief much. His face is an exact copy of
his fathers but lesa aquiline to the nose, more

jaw, the same deeply followed checks, the large
mouth and great blue eyes, the fall we'll developed
( head, the nne brow, the deadly pale complexion,
and the interesting nervous temperament, which
distinguishes his father and makes him mzrkel
man among millions. The bump Of causality stanIs
out prominently on the upper and outer portion Of
his brow 40 much So indeed, that while the large
eye and cspAciouS perceptve faculties almost pro-
claim him artist or poet, ore is Tot surprised
to find him pushing his metaphysical specuIations
to an excess, which is sometimes fatiEuing to tie
auditor. His voice is very pleasing to many per-
sons but quite the reverse to Others. His emphasis
is admirable, but bis tone is marred by lisp, and
by another impediment, which cannot better define
than By the word "mouthing"- though that d,es
him injustice. 1t arises, probably, from the at
tempt to overcome his lisp and pronounce dstinct-
ly Withal he has rhythmic ckdsuce,ia his rea ling
which savors too much Of the "aing song" and
something Of the stage accent, as, for example in
the word "children," which he is apt to pronounce
" cheeldren," and time" which he calls "tEem,''

the last He il the most attractive of
