The rapidly extending blaze spread round the j)iie; while, seizing the last moments that remained to him on earth, Huss prayed aloud.

If we, who'know iiim only from fame, feel emotions alike sublime and ideasing from thus associating the inanimate clay of Osar with his living deeds, what must have been the feeling of the Ro man w ho had seen jiim in his car of tri umph, when, with'tiie glow of victory vet fresh upon his brow, he seemed a ileity, although no more than a man'.
