and learning extending over a long period Of
time must necessarily be valuable. and

alike, there is such a similarity between
them as TO render one which is rich in vaiu-
able facts of benent TO all. Americas great
est orator declared that he knew Of no way of
Judging the future but by the past; and past
personal experience is of the same nature as

looking much better than when the man of
news had last seen him. After some general
talk. the doctor fell into an easy train OF con-
versation and uttered some truths SO scien-
tinc and valuable. as TO justify their repro
