stone. The description 1t win be seen
embodies a very neat and well devel-
oped metaphor: mo image except

dash, its frequent beauty, its striking
effects, the amount of varied matter
which it brings with it, the hopeless
ness of trying to resist it. the unex-

but fertilized condition Of the subject

bare mention of a topic in which Mr.
Gladstone il interested opens the food
