 never saw this eminent man until the last sum. iner when heard him in the Fremont Temple Tn Boston. The building was full OfyOung men-and he was to address them on ''the observance of the Sabbath" He came in at a late hour and walked across the platform as brisk as boy. He wore an old Boston wrapper, and observed that his hair had grown gray. His son Edward opened the mee- ting with a prayer, and the father then spoke for an hour. could hear but small portion of his address as his voice is more feeble than formerly, and he is much broken with the labors ot forty years. Some of his speech was in familiar col loquial vein, like the elder Dr. Alexander when he addressed Sabbath Schools. 1 heard him few nights after at the anniversary of the Education Society. While he was speaking there, he was constantly whirling silk handkerchief about in his hands-and much of his speech was very hu- morous He has great deal of what Boz calls the cast -iron wit" of the Yankees.
