had gained The head. Then he studied
harder than ever 10 maintain Ills posi-.
lion. AT the end of the next term the
teacher addressing Daniel said, Dan
iel take down your cap, pack up your
books and go to a higher roOm.' Then
the boys who had ridiculed him hung
their heads for shame.
AT the age OF fifteen he entered Dart
mouth College and graduated in due
course, exhibit my II remark sble mind.

Fourth OF jury 9iatiou which proved

uttered were II still live" Funeral
honOrs were paid to his memory in the
chleIcities in the Union. A marble
block placed in front of his tomb bears
the inscription Lord, l believe; help
thou my unbelief.n
Were | TO fix upon any one trait IT

would be his sOciality and loving heart.
AS to his features he was rather stout,
with a round face, small nose and
mouth, large grey eyes while his hair
was grey from early age.

next. Then Christmas.
There would be no thanksgiving
bounty but for forethought-sun-
