lions are but poorly expressed by |
words. When the first vague ru-
mOrs OF the terrible event in this
city, which has been SO titly named |
the great calamity, went through |
the land q lew days ago, all hearts
felt a shock like that OF a sudden |
and awful personal bereavement,
Then as the terrible news came |
distinctly over the wires and
fearful disaster took shape and form |
in the minds Of the people, it seem.
ed for q time to Oppress all hearts |
like II nightmare. The pulses ol
life throbbed heavily, and human
utterance failed under the crushing |
sense of sorrow which paralized
the land, but soon the currents OF
feeling began to fow, and now for
many days heartfelt expressions OF
coincidence and substantial mani. |
festations of sympathy have been
flowing towards Richmond like a
great tide, and no right.minded and
true hearted man can help feeling
this vast development of unaffected |
good will so strikingly devoid of
everything like sectional Or
party feeling; as one OF those
CLEANS of radiance which in Gods !
good providence so often brightens
the darkest clouds OF human grief. |
When two days since we took our
seats upon this Bench, our eyes and
hearts alike missed familiar faces
from the bar. Let US thank God
