and full of sound advice, and if followed
by those who had the pleasure of hearing
it, will lead the way to truth, honor aud

He lifts his audience along with him. and
by the whirlwind of his eloquence is all

man, who seems delighted to linser where
the .ie.p6fS glitter, CLEAN ard simmer, in
legion of scintfllating living light, radla-

pearly teeth. He told the school, of
which he is alnember, that they we're all

generations will gaze, when the names of
the builders shall have perlshed amid the
