for nearly an hour by the old gentleman that i he ever heard or read so perfect was his recollec- 1 linn that every argument urged against ihe chris tian religion was met in the order in which it was advanced humes sophistry on the subject of mi racles was if possible more perfectly answered thm it had already been done by campbell and in the whole lecture there was so much simplicity and energy pathos and sublimity that not another word was uttered an attempt to describe said the traveller would be an attempt to paint the sun htani it was now a mutter of curiosity and inquiry who the old gentle man was the traveller concluded that it was the preacher from whom the pnlptt eloquence was heard but no it was the chief justice of the united states the origin of the term foolscap papes it
