It becomes my pleasant, dnty this r \rening to say a a few words, in pr~tisc of one 1dw l1 as borne the palm of eloquen ce; on e whose pen w;~ s mightier than the sword, n.nd one of whose name the American people HHLY well be proud ::mel justly re vere- D aniel Web­l'lt er .

can ::;tatesmen an d orators. was born in the town of Salisbury, Ne;w 1fmnpshi~·e in 1782 . T he future ora­tor received his fi rst 'edueation from his mother and after a sh or t ttcademieal training entered Darmouth . College. After takin g his 'degrees h e commen ced his legal studies tmcl from this time to his 'death, which ocw red in J85<? , were pi·oducecl his fi rst speech es, which are mctsterpi>eces of the JDnglish lan gu age. Thus t.ra,ined in h is youth by a dut iful mother, and later by trustwor thy professors, there was sh aped th at character of a truly great and noble genius.

In glancing over the pages of hist ory we may there read of, . aucl mlmire the orat orical gen ius of a D e­mo~thenes , <t Pericles, a Cicero , or in more recent t imes of a B urke, a Grattan and others, but Webster in massive volume of t hought , in depth and closeness of reasoning and in for ensic eloquen ce was, in the words of Ar chbishop Spalding, scarcely equaled, certainly not surpassed by any . Wl1o ever looked upon Daniel vVe lilster , his beetlin g brows, deep set, sear ching black eyes, aucl imperial carriage, felt instantan eously, that a Titan stood before him. I n h is voice, in h is step, and in his bearing, there vvas a gran deur that took the im­aginat ion by st orm.

It is said that n ature had set h er seal of greatness so visibly upon him, that his achievements in the Se­ll ate an c1 t he £~rum did not belie the promise of his god-like physiogn omy. "In sheei- intellectual might, in that comprehensiveness of vision whk h sees all the sides of a subject and judges it in all its r elatiom;, in th at largeness an<l weight of utter an ce, which give the g reate;.;t impressiven ess to everything that 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 orat or of the nuderstmuling, hecan~e he spoke to the head as well as t o the heart ; he gctinecl the love and aclmirtttion of his listen ers. Vilh o is there t oday wh o can behold l3 nnker H ill mon ument, without pict uring before his imaginn.tion , the stately form of W ehsteT as he stood at the laying of its corner stone bef ore an uncounted mul t itude of erudite ancl illiterate, rich, and poor ; and under the canopy of a serene sky, delivered an . or-ation which h as covered h is name with un dying lustre.

Thus far 'n~ h ave lingered on the delightful pleas­ures o£ goocl music, but there are many other points n this refining art which are not to he overlooked.

"When the t,rreat monarch, Brian B oroihmc, was !tilled, at the battle of Contar£ A. D. 1014, he left with his Donagh his harp, but Donagh having mur­dered hi. brother Teige, and being deposed by his . nephew, retired to Rome, and carried with him his crown, harp, and the regalia of his father. which he pre ented to the pope. These regalia were kept in the Vatican, till the Pope sent the harp to Henry Vlii., hut kept the cro\m, which was o£ massive gold. Henry gave the harp to the first Earl Clauricarde in who. e family it remained until the beginnina of

the DeBmgh family, into that of M c.Mahon of Cleuaah. in the cotmty of Clare, after who e death it passed into the possession o£ commi sioner MeN amara of Limerick. In 17 2, it:was~ presented to: the Right H onorable William Connyngham, who deposited it in Trinity College Museum. 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 another 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 chased 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 sounding board, where the strings enkred, are neatly ornamented with an escutcheon o£ brass, carved and gilt: the larger souclil1g-boarcls haYe been ornamented, probably with silver. The harp has twenty eight 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 considering

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. Smith is now practicing one o£ Mozart's most difficult pieces entitled: Home Sweet Home.

ADDRESS BY MR. LENNAH,TZ.

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 cause him forever to fore­go the undertaking·-'';ere he not cneonraged and buoyed up by the counsel of his prc>ceptor, urged on by hiR own oiJservations and invigorated ,,·bile contemp­lating the m anifold victories :mel blessings that have been achieved by this enchanting po,.,·er. From the days or "th e prince of orators" Demostheuc=>, to those of Cicero, from that time to th e day ofPeter tbeBer­mit, or the cl:.1ys of S unny France, when tho sacred ora­tor-Bourdaloe- or "the Demosthenes of the 1mlpit," Bossuet, reigned, from that to th e days when Briti:;;h oratory war: at its zenith, when the ]~ri glish Parlia­ment shook to its very :foundation frotn the electric peals of O'Connell, Burke, Gratton, Fox, Pitt., >'3 brri­clan lmd Brough am-- numberless instances, countless examples might be had, that deligM t be mind, rouse the imagin ation and. thrill the human bre~tst, while eon­sidering 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 been, I will not say surpassed, but triumphs which luwe not even been equalled by the grandest military achicYements.

In our own land oratory has won victories which rival the brightest 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 beh ,df of their beloved conn­try: but recall the da.ys of darlme~s :mel despair when powrty and the fear nf eternal misery shronded our country, when n n,t{ght but submission or t']nvery could be inhaled from the morning; it was then that giant mind stood forth and like the Athenian of old roused his hearers t.o a knowledge of their condition gave t.hem a sense of their fears, roused their patl·io­tism, united their hearts, awoke their resolve, until they determined to be free; -

"Free as Nature first. made man When thro' the forest the noble savage ra.n, ,.

This impulse, this noble, this lasti11 g and ever memorable conquest was m ainly clue to the power o£. the orator, the forest born Demosthenes of America, the immortal Patrick Henry.

In co11clusion then we trust that you will not. view in wit.h "n crit.i c\; eye. hut pa~s our imperfeet.ions

by, brgo streams from little fountains flow, tall oaks from little acorns g1·ow,"- tho' now our work is bu t beg un we hope that .one day (in this noble art) our praises m ay worthily be sung.
