They were not wretched at all, these

And not only for reasons stated, but

1t is impossible to exaggerate the i'm

factor in human happiness. The life
of the meanest man was filed with

his public and his private foes. He
looked upward for his hope. There he
beheld loving angels bearing aloft in
their soft arms the soul redeemed tc
the abode of perfect bliss. In that
soul he recognized himself; he saw the
portraiture, exact and lifelike, of his
own forgiven and sanctified features.

that he had carefully considered them.
The law had been well settled in the

influencing the jury it was held not
sufficient. If there had been any
probability of such influence he would
have set aside the verdict, but cause
had not been shown,

question Of, "IIaye you anything yor
