couraged and comforted. I dare not
utter protest against kindness, if |
dared, / would venture to utter a pro-
| test against the great kindness of the
| tribute paid to my poor self by Senator

mans heart; do not believe one-tenth
of what he said about me;g but in the
bigness of the generosity and the
breadth of heart, and warmth of that
prompted those sentiments, read the
! character of the man.
God bless the community that has
