he then spoke Of his poetical genius. of
his SUCCESS and how highly he was
dattered and praised by those in nigh life
that being so suddenly raised from humble

He drew his inspiration from nature. He
sang Of American mountains, vaIlevs,
rivers, falls and all the vast resources
which American scenery brought to his
vivid imagination. His native land
occupied his attention and not foreirn
scenes. The speaker drew a vivid com.
parison between Burns and Bryant. While
the former SCARED high in the regions Of
fancy he failed in regard to his usefulness
in this life by his excesses and died in the
meridian Of manhood. The other (Brvant,
