CLARK my word. The passage of the

'Oar lives are short. continued the
NJ ssissippiau, as he took up his sermon
after the volumes of applause that greet
ed bis poetry.
"Do something. Don't be afraid.
He who is so tolerant or opposition, so
patient of stumbling blocks in his way,
the speaker, will not harm you. | as
sure you that you will suffer no ply sical
HARM"

Yet though hesrtsches still abound,
