IL anybody wants a model for a citizen of the highest class, he may find it in this eulogy of a Bo.-tou man, written by a friend who was worth haviug : "Martin Brimmer, freed from private care, dedicated himself to the commonweal ; he took his part in legislation, in charities, in education, in cultivation of art. He mingled in all public affairs - not only mingled, but led. Nature had made him prepossessing. His dignity, his deliberation, his reserve were imposing, his gentle courtesy was winning, and when at last he uttered a few pregnant words in a judicial tone the majority of his hearers fancied that he was but expressing their sentiments, while the minority decided that opposition waa vain. The fusiĆ³n was complete."
