Ttiose who beard liiiu then will never forget the feelings that he protluced.

No man possessed a more fruit ful imagination. His descript;ons fairly flittered with "poetic gems. Touched by his master hand every picture of life as sumed the charm and glow of beauty, or glared with the most hideous deformity, just as it suited his purpose. I will re member a discourse on the vanities of life, delivered by him some years ago; and nev er did all the charms and attractions of this world appear so little and so worthless to me ua on that occasion. His description of the dalliances ofthe world, the siren whis perings of Ambition, and the luring charms of Pleasure, surpassed in beauty and power anything I remember to have heard from the lips of man.

Preparing for the emergency, they, openly set out on their journey, and reached their destination unmolested. Dut it is unnecessary to follow the noble missionary ol colonization further in his travels. I consider bis achievements in this cause as entitling him to a wreath of glory asunlading as any that ever encircled the brow of the conqueror or the statesmen. For, notwithstanding the fiery opposition he encountered Ihroiig'ioul the south, wher ever he could obtain a hearing, his gonijij and his eloquence were triumphant.
