She was the only one of Mathew Moore’s children whom I ever knew well enough to form an estimate of their character. She was one of nature’s noble women, aud it is a study of her character that I have formed an estimate of her mother’s. Her many good qualities deserve more than a formal-notice; but euloglum is not the par’•. pose of this paper.

Some preachers there are among us, but as a rule they have been captured by tho daughters of the house, and are held to give tone to the crowd If there is a scalawag among us, he has come in by adoption and not by aboriginal growth.
