Through out the boyhood of this man, there prevailed a. universal excitement of the most stifriog kind. The topics then discussed, created an integrity nf Uteres! beyond what the cold and cal culating desire of wealth alone has ever been found to inspire. The sub jects which were then examined, agitated every bcaom, and called into exercise powers of the highest order.
