T he future orator received his fi rst'edu eation from his mother and after sh or t ttcademieal training entered Darmouth . College. After takin g h is 'degrees h e commen ced his lega l studi es tmcl from this time to his 'death , which ocw red in J85<? , were pi·odu cecl his fi rst speech es, which are mctsterpi>eces of th e JDnglish lan gu age. Thus t.ra,ined in h is yo uth by a dut iful m other, and later by trust wor th y professors, t h ere was sh aped th at character of a truly great and noble genius. In glancing over the pages of hist ory we m ay there read of, . aucl mlmire the orat orical gen ius of a D emo~th enes , <t Pericles, a Cicero , or in more recent t imes of a B urke, a Grattan and oth ers, but Webster in massive vol ume of t hought , in depth and closeness of reasoning and in for en sic eloquen ce was, in the words of Ar ch bishop Spalding, scarcely equaled, certainly not surpassed by an y . Wl1o ever looked upon D aniel vVe lilst er , his beetlin g br ows, deep set, sear ch ing bl ack eyes, aucl im perial carriage, f elt instantan eously, that a Titan stood before him. I n h is voice, in h is step, and in his bearing, ther e vvas a gran deur that took the imagin at ion by st orm. It is said that n ature h ad set h er seal of greatness so visibly upon him , th at his achievements in the Sell ate an c1 t h e £~rum did n ot belie the promise of his god-like physiogn omy. "In sh eei- intellectual might, in t hat com preh ensiv en ess of vision whk h sees all the sides of a subject and judges it in all its r elatiom;, in th at lar geness an<l weight of utter an ce, which giv e the g reate;.;t impr essiven ess t o everything tha t one says ancl in luml logic which links conclusion to conclusion like a ch <tin of iron no other A merican was ever equal t o Webstpr. " H e v,ras the or at or of the nuderstmuling, hecan ~e he spoke t o t he h ead as well as t o the h eart ; h e gctinecl the love and aclmirtttion of his listen ers. Vil h o is th ere t oday wh o can behold l3 nnker H ill mon ument, with out pict uring befo re his imaginn.tion , the stately fo r m of W ehsteT as he stood at the laying of its corner stone bef ore an un counted mul t it ude of eru dite ancl illit erat e, rich, and poor ; and under th e canopy of a serene sky, delivered an .or-ation whi ch h as cov er ed h is name with un dyin g lustre.

It is thirty two inches high, and of good workmanship; the sounding board is o£ oak, thf! arms of red Sally, the extremity o£ the uppermost arm ii1 part is capped with silver, extremely well wrought and chiselled. It contains a large crystal set in silver, an d under it was an oth er stone, now lost. 'fhe Luttons. or ornaments of knobs, at the side of this mm. are silver. On the fron-t arm are the arms, o£ tbe O'Brien family ch ased in silver, the bloody hand !<Upported by lion On the sides of the front arm within circles, are two Irish wolf dogs, cut in the wood.The holes of the soundin g board, where the strings enkred, are neatly ornamented with an escutcheon o£ brass, carved and gilt: the larger souclil1g- boarcls h aYe been ornamented, probably with silver. The harp has t wenty eigh t keys and as many string-holes; consequently there were as many strings. The foot piece, or rest, is broken off, and the parts round which it w as joined are very tattered. The whole bears evidence of an expert artist. M:ost Irishmen will read with interest this description of this precious relic. Those who deny the usefu lness of music of an elementary character. do not apply to their argument against it, the common sense used in considerin g 0 ther branches of education. A recent announcement in the M usical H e1'ald of J,ondon reads as follows: " Mr-- does not see how he can live through another winter, and, bt ing anxious to leave behind the best traditions that he can, hopes that pupils will turn up quickly." Master F. Smit h is now practicin g one o£ Mozart's most difficult pieces entitled: Home Sweet Home.

REV. PREST., REV. FRS ., FELLOW STUDENTS, FRIENDS:

In the study of elocution. or oratory, the stl;l.dcnt m eets with cl ifficult.ies, wbich, n,t times, <Lppear suificient to still his a;·dor and cau se him fo rever to forego the undertaking·-'';ere he not cneonraged and buoyed up by the counsel of his prc>ceptor, urged on by hiR own o iJservations and invig orated ,,·bile contemplating the m anifold victories :mel blessings t hat have been achieved by t his enchanting po,.,·er. From the days or "th e prin ce of orators" Demostheuc=>, to those of Cicero, from that time to th e day ofPet er tbeBermit, or the cl:.1ys of S unny France, when tho sacred orato r-Bourdaloe- or "the Demosthen es of the 1mlpit," Bossuet, r eigned, from that t o th e days when Briti:;;h oratory war: at its zenith, when th e ]~ri glish Parliament sho ok to its very :foundation frotn the electric peals of O'Connell, Burke, Gratton, Fox, Pitt., >'3 brriclan lmd Broug h am-- numberl ess instances, countless examples might be had, that deligM t be mind, r ouse the imagin ation and. thrill the human bre~tst, while eonsi dering the victories secured by this magic nrt. To those who consider the superiority of mind over matter, it is not too much to say that the oratory has won triumphs in the forum, before the bar, in the senate and from the pulpit that never htwc bee n, I will not say surpassed, but triumphs which luwe not even been equalled by the grandest military achicY ements. In our own land oratory has won vi ctories which rival the brig htest that emblazon history's page: not t.o speak of vVebster , Hayne, Clay, Calhoun whose philosophic minds and transcendent eloquence were so often exerted in b eh ,df of th eir beloved conntry: but recall the da.ys of darlme~ s :mel despair when powrty and the f ear nf eternal misery shronded our country, when n n,t{ght but submission or t']nvery could be inhaled fr om the morning; it was then that giant mind stood forth and like the Athenian of old rou sed his h earers t.o a knowledge of their condition gave t.hem a sense of their fears, roused their patl·iotism, united their hearts, awoke their r esolve, until they determined to be free; "Free as Nature first. made man When thro' the forest the noble savage ra.n, ,. This impulse, this nobl e, this lasti11 g and ever memorable conquest was m ainly clue to the power o£. the orator, the forest born D emosthenes of America, the immortal Patrick H enry. In co11clusion then we trust that you will not. view in wit.h "n crit.i c\; eye. hut p a~s our imperfeet.ions
