request commenced an address. Little
Samcary wished to raise a hime tune and
gave out:
From Greenland's icy fountains"
But saw my friends laugh at the idea as
came forward. Ispoke with great advan-
tage. Rising above the earth the voice was
not broken by churches and other large
buildings. There was little reverberation
from the cliffs and ravines of the Scioto, but
in few moments my voice wac inflated
beyond the restrictions of surrounding
scenery, and made myself heard in the
adjacent States very audibly. Washme

tells us are cirrhus and cirrho tumulus or
cumulus-I don't remember whch-clouds.
Little Samcary bids us look at the golden
refulgence, and Washmeclean notes the
silver lining. They are all, however, re-

seemed a good deal like Colonel Benton.
They both scowled at me. Was it imarin-

4 P. M,-Professor Volauvent very much
gratifed to see that We complained of ex-
cessive cold; that Geghan had gone to sleep
or was unconscious over his beads, and could
not patter pater noster. Washmeclean
was still active with his patent infater,
while Little Samcary threw out sheet

into the upper air as If he apprehended
