He jooxs on truth with a clear vision. acting in accords ance with his superna! dictates: he does not fear nor shun the face of his fellowsmen, for his soul is white with integrity, and he looks humbly and trustingly up to the eternal source of truth, and his fellow-beings, in a Wher sense, look up to htm because he js trustworthy, and, in short, has character— good and stable character. Character is the corner-Stone of individual greatness — the Doric and splendid column in the majestic structure of a true and dignitied man, who is at once a subjectand king. Such is the true type o! perfect manhood: to earth belongs his Corruptible body—to another and more enlarged sphere, his soul, stamped with 4 mith . An anecdote of Grattan’s boyiiood shows the possession of that powerful will without which there is no true greatness. When very young, Mr. Grattan had been frightened by stories of ghosts and hobgoblins, which nurses are in the habit of relating to child- ren, so much so as to affect his nerves in the highest degree. He cou!d not bear being lef’ alone, or remaining long without any to a graveyard near his father’s house, and | there he used to sit upon the gravestones, : whilst the eae egy poured down his face ; but, by these efforts, he at length succeeded, and overcame his nervous sensation. This certainly was a strong proof of courage in a | child — Se here are trees so ta!lin Missouri: that it | lakes two men and a boy to look to the top of |them.
