In connection with theabove tribute from
the graceful pen OF our townsman, We ap
pend the following remarkable uttcrance i,
regard to Emerson: ~
DR.. Bartol once invited Mr.. Emerson I,
dine with him to meet Father TAYLOR. Th,
philosopher hesitated, saying: "Futhe
Taylor is n cannon better on the Common
than IN a parlor." But he was finally uer
snaded. As he LETT the table for his trail,
DR.. Bartol said to Father TAYLOR t'That i
n sweet spirit a"Yes. yes,h said Tavior
should he 60 to hell it would change til,
climate, and the emigration would be TIM
way" Father Taylor also said Of him I"
have Lad my ear close TO his heart ant
never detected any Jar in the machinery
lie is more like Jesus than anybody else
have known" s. =.';;5iss 81 No ~
And still further, speaking OF this erea
man, now dead, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes
the poet, has paid the following tribute tt
his memory: Y. agi h
when u life so exceptional us tia
which has just lett our earthly companion
snip appears in any group OF our fellow
