heard him described by an aged eye -witness
[now no more] of the first reading of his

not it is as true as any photograph. (Cheers.)
And' how did he live'.gentlemen ? If you con-
sult bis enemies, those who hated or did not
understand him, whom he had chastised and
who smarted under his inflictions, you willbe
told that he was a reprobate and dangerous
man': and eavesdroppers about Dumfries and
elsewhere will strive to corroborate this, for
miserable notoriety—perhaps for gain -that he
was a.sla,ve to drink, a slave to passion, and a
slave to profanity. If you consult those on the
other hand who did' know, and did love, and
did understand him, they do not deny some
errors ; fur their beloved of their recollection
was a man ; but they will assure you at the
same time, perhaps with tear1 . of affection, that
he was a second father to his father's orphan
family, that he taught younger brothers and
sisters to read and write, that he prayed night
and morning for them with a devotion and fer-
vency they never elsewhere heard,; that he was
a kind master, a true friend, a compassionate
man, a ,loving husband, and an indulgent
father.% (Cheers.) This will yOu , hear on the
