It is but necessary to mention the names of such men as Stephen A. Douglas, Richard J.

Being himself thoroughly moved by his subject, he succeeded in oxciting the same emotions in the breasts of his hearers. Now he would have his whole audience moved to tears by his thrilling appeals, or the fervid pathos of his descriptions of scenes in real life, and anon his bursts of wit and humor would throw them into the most uproarious laughter. Now the silence would be such that one could almost hear the beating of his neighboor's heart, and anon the great hall would ring with the thunders of applause. This was at once pronounced the great speech of the season, and the young orator became the lion of the time. However he bore his honors meekly. Consultations in German and English. D. C.

John McCauley Palmer was born in Scott County, Kentucky, September 13, 1817. Lpto his fifteenth year his life was passed in tho varied round of farm operations, with very meagre advantages for study; their his father removed to Madison County, Illinois, and there recommenced his agricultural pursuit. Young Palmer was industrious and ambitious, and made the most of the opportunities for mental culture which were afforded by tjie change of residence. He attended school when he was able to do so, and read what books fell in his way.

The former, being an orphan, resided with her uncle the father of Agnes, who was a rich banker of New York. I do not mean to describe the girls. Romance writers have exhausted all the descriptive adjectives in the English language and worn out all conceivable figures of speech, in descriptions of their heroes and heroines. Of Alice I will only say that she was fair and fragile, pleasing in external appearance, but still more attractive in the noble sweetness of her disposition. Her character was attractive, not on account of any yielding weakness, but because the inherent goodness of her heart continually prompted her to deeds of kindness and to words of love. "Oh! yes, sir. I worked for Mr. Grenville two years. Had not mother been ill we should have gone with him to the west this spring.

While we are gazing at them Agnes' father enters the door, saying "Well, girls," he always persisted in calling them girls, though Agnes said they were entitled to the dignity of being called ladies, "well, girls, I have a new sensation for you." He is a man of powerful will; all his undertakings are conducted, by reason of the frankness and openness of his nature, in a way that leaves no doubt or uncertainty in the minds of others as to his object. He is successful by reason of the very directness and audacity of his effort, rather than because he brings to bear any particular shrewdness or policy. He weighs well whatever he thinks conducive to success.

The girls had arisen early that morning that they might satisfy their eager curiosity by beholding the sunrise, a sight of which they had read many beautiful descriptions. But, though they had dreamed of glowing sunrises, how much grander was the reality! To them it was all new, and strange, and glorious. The mansion stood upon a slight emi nence from which the land sloped gradually away, until, far in the east, there arose a lofty mountain, upon which the sky seemed to rest as on a firm foundation. They had taken ttieir station a few minutes before the fiery car of Plicebus had made its appearance; but the beam-tinted clouds that stretched from the brow of the mountain far up into the azure dome betokened its speedy approach. These clouds were of various hues. Some were of a bright Vermillion, some tinged with purple, wearing royal jobes, some beaming with burnished gold, some crested with fire, while, far up in the azure depth, there seemed to be floating streams of molten silver, suggestive, to the devout mind and quick fancy of Alice, of that "River of life that flows fast by the Throne of God."

Governor Palmer is of that order of mind which, unconsciously it may be at times, analyzes whatever may be brought to his notice, and frames an opinion with the conclusions drawn from the scrutiny of the whole. He thinks in the abstract rather than in the concrete, although his final conclusion is, as it were, a concreted idea. There is great flexibility versatility, and perseverance in this organization.
