but always sad and calculated to arouse the
sympathies of kind hearts; and even we,
schooled by observation to familiarity with
the hearth Of party tricksters. and
schemers, cannot repress o feeling Of ten
dernesss towards HUNNIcuTT. He is not a
wise man, nor is he selfish man. He is
an enthusiast, and, like ( all enthusi-

supplied the nests Of the northern vuitures
that have perched themselves above him.
