He says, in his letter: Charles, upon your discretion and good deportment the happiness of my life will in no trifling degree depend. If any persons entertain a favorable opinion of you, I hope you will never disappoint them. In his Junior year, in company with four classmates, Frost, Babcock, Rev. Samuel B. Babcock, rector of a parish in Dedham. He died in 1873. Penniman, and Munroe, of whom only the last survives, he made a pedestrian trip to Lake Champlain. This was his first absence from Boston and its suburbs. He kept a journal of the excursion, from which the following account is abridged: The party left Cambridge, July 14, 1829, at four P.

His face is mild and gentle in its expression. M. Thiers, 1797-1877. In 1873, Sumner was the guest at dinner of Thiers, then President of the Republic. the celebrated author of the History of the French Revolution, is a most distinguished member of the Chamber. I did not hear him speak; but I narrowly regarded him. He is but little above the middle size, with sleek black hair, and with a bright countenance which seemed
