he was Longing under the Yale Gins.
When he left college. it was to enter a
learned profession. He has passed his life
in the pulpit and the class room, admired by
all his associates, a notable figure i'm the
community Now he is at the head of I'M
old and conservative New England college.
If he has not amuSscd a fortune. at Least h"
has never known poverty. He has not seen
his wife grow thinner and pacr from day 10

number of traits ia common.
Like GRANT, IMAGINATION made his rcputa-

utterly unfit, by a party at a loss for can-
