" am sorry, too," was the aligcy*
reply, •" to ,rsiepriVe. Mr. Gordon of

A . little, scared at his manner, she'
takes his arm pettishly,_ and turns
away with him, saying

' And so he has killed his-oWnliopes.
INesing 'feminine and

his protest is to see her spend 'most
of the evening with Jimmie; to see
him brought up to Mrs. Larton, and
capturing, her as effectually as her
daughter with his sunny - blue eyes
aud sturdy, handsome face, to. hear
him invited to Cleveland.

That he is l urcly mercenary. it would
he, hardly fair
-to say ; for most Men,;
can be Ilattered inttra liking, if not
'into love, and Jitinnid certainly can
hardly • help being flattered. Very

great. a fiCierenee in social positiOn,

to keep his head from being Untied.
Being turned, it is easy. to see why

almost tothink itself in love as easily

two things : fi rst, that o great men
may pass through life unappreciated,
and that great men bring honor "to
the place of their' nativity.. Bostt n

Like all: reformers, Sumner wale
radical. There was (to him) but one
side,-and that was his side—but one
right eourse,and that was the one he
was pursuing.. As: the prophet of
fire on Carmel's. Summit , asked,
"Why halt ye betlieen two opinions?"
so Sumner filled the air with the
searching inguirY, "Are ye for free
dom or against it?" Akin_ to this
radicalism was his progressiie spirit.
Long before president OF cabinet
were ready for emancipation, Sumner
had sent forth his principle, " Eman
cipation.the cure of the Rebellion." ,
Ere the martyred President bad
signed the ' immortal prmlaniation
and thus reached Sumner's platform,
this aggressive statesman had gone
from that position and - waaarranging
for- that completer peace measure
subsequently incorporated in the
Civil Rights" bill. Sumner was un
popular for the reason that reformers
have 'Amy& been and never will be
pdpular ak the time their reforms are
in progress. The words of the poet
aptly express Sumner as a poet:
ills way he held what e•er Ih* cost :
• Too proud to sell his soul for pin.'
No striwurs Trall Its path has'erosised,
Ills garments aro without a stalu."
The lecturer "next spoke of Sumner
as a Martyr. What shall we call his
death but martyrdom Posiessed
of a body unsurpassed in physical
beauty and symmetry;: backed up by
a vitality which made him a prodigy
of physical endurance,: he was 'sud
denly prostrated - under - the cowardly
attack of the assassin, and the time
of his unspent, life crowned into the
brief period of 16 yerrs. A fine 'par

and Sumner, but space will riot allow
us to give it.
The Statesmanship of Sumner will
next be a subject of interest in trac
ing - his lit. He possessed to a re
warkable degree the elements of a
